ED. PRESS: The High School closed
on Friday last, and it is the opinion of
those who are the best able to Judge
that 1t has been the most successful
term since the school was established.
The attendance has been over 80 Der

good showing, we think. The School

LIVE LONG AND BE HAPPY.


Why should not everyone live out
health and be happy? Surely there is
no GOOD reason, and yet many win al
low impure blood, weakness Of the
kidneys, imperfect digestion, and-urin-
ary troubles to undermine and break
down their general health, and carry
them to q premature grave. Some seek
relief among mineral pOisOns, in pill
form, etc., others resort to extensively
advertised alcoholic beverages and fer
>mented liquors, only to feel themselves
for q time somewhat better, but after
awhile much worse. Now, why should
this be so? 1t is well known by the
intelligent portion of our community
that DR.. Guysott's Yellow Dock and
Sa4eaparilla will surely remove all
these disorders. The medicine is the
wonderful discovery of an eminent
French physician, and has proven it
self in thousands of instances to be the
hest vegetable blood purifier known to
medical men. 1t never fails to effectu-
ally cure Scrofula. Syphilitic disorders
weakness of the kidneys, all nervous
disorders and debility, and all urinary
and digestive troubles. 1t makes the
old feel full of youthful vigor, and the
young energetic and gay, restoring
perfect manhood and womanhood, es-
pecialIy when the disease has . ten
0ency to weaken the mind, body and
nervous system. Do not despair. A
single bottle will convince you of its
great merit as q health renewer. for it
begins ut once to give new life and
new vigor to both body and mind,
never failing to remove all symptoms
Of any and every disease that can
be cured by cleansing, renovating, pur-
flying and strengthening the human

SHALERSVILLE.
COrresp0ndence.

At last I break forth from long si-
lence, and drop you few lines giving
little news from Shalersville. During
the past week we have been blessed
with showers of rain, and it seems as
though one could almost see vegetation
grow. The wheat crop is exceptional
ly good.
Hurd's Center Brook Cheese Factory
is in full blast. Mr.. Hurd paid 10 cts.
per gallon for Nays milk, and is CIV
ing cents for June, until further no.
tice.
During past month the following
named gentlemen have built nine very
handsome sheds in the rear of the
church: Messrs. Newton Goodhill,
Homer Goodhill, John Clark, Ed.
Hine, Royal Colt, James Sterling,
G. ID. Streeter, and Mrs. B. Colt. They
were occupied for the first time last
Sunday.
The workers of our Sunday School
gave us one of the best entertainments
your correspondent has ever seen, and
the audience seemed to enjoy and ap.
preciate the performance all the more
because those who entertained them
were scholars of the school, and it does
great credit to the Teachers, and espe-
cial,y to the superintendent, VIM. HI.
Coe, who has spent SO much time, and
was the means of bringing everything
to such q successful end.
The programme was as follows:
PRAYER.
Music-Where are the Reapers.
Remarkably the Chairman Of the Evening,
Recitation-By Class No. 1.
Music-Beautiful Bells.
Recitation-By Glass No. I.
Music-Tenderly Guide U.s.
Recitation-By Glass No. f.
Music-The Spirit Free; Trio, "Purity: >,
Behold the Bridegroom; Life's Lot; Beautiful
Rain; Going Home; Sweet By and BY.
The Chairman in his remarks stated
that the object of the meeting was the
success Of the School, it being the de.
sire Of all the friends of the School
that all the people of Shalersville
should come and join the ranks of the
Sunday School. He also said that this
1880 was the centennial of Sunday
Schools, it being just one hundred
years since the first Sunday School
was started. Lastly, he said the great
est object the School had in view was
the study of the Bible.
Glasses No. and were quite little
folks, but they rendered their pieces
all speaking in concert
very promptly; but probably the most
interesting feature was the Esprit |
Tree, "in which thirteen little girls took
part. They all stood in a circle, and
Zach one came forward separately and
'ang a verse; then turning to large
rec upon which hung a motto for
Zach one, all the mottos being turned
with their back to the audience), each
'ne in their turn exhibited their par
ocular motto to the audience, while
he remainder struck up the chorus.
Glass No. 4, each boy reciting a verse
If Scripture, at the same time placing
block upon table with the leading
word of the verse upon it, the last came
With cross and wreath, which he
placed upon the top of the blocks.
The piece of music, "Behold the
Bridegroom" was well rendered by
en- young ladies, five dressed in black
nd five in white.

diss +. Mason presided at the organ
With her accustomed ability.

The Democrats and Greenbackers
of Maine held their respective conven-
tioHs in Name on the 1st inst, at Ban
gor. The Greenbackers nominated
General Harris M. PIsisted, OF Boston

adopted a platform declaring in sub
stance as follows:
That all currency whatever, metallic
or paper, necessary for the use of the
people, should be issued and controll-
ed by the Government, and not by
banking corporations; that the inter-
est bearing debt of the United States,
which shall become redeemable in the
year 1881 or prior thereto, should not
be refunded beyond the power of the
Government to call in said obligations
and pay them at any time, but should
be paid rapidly as possible and accord
ing to contract. The mints of the Gov
ernment should be operated to their
fullest capacity in the coinage of stand
ard silver dollars and such other coin |
as the business interests Of the coun-
try demand. The Civil Service should
be reformed 80 as TO abolish the evils |
of patronage; that imprisonment for |
debt be abolished. Delegates to the |
Chicago Convention were instructed |
to influence the nomination of Solon |
Chase for President.
The Democratic convention ratified |
the nomination of the Greenbackers
for Governor and selected delegates
1t large and alternates to the Cincin.
natl Convention.
The convention voted to leave the
election of Presidential Electors in the
hands of the Democratic State Com
nittee, who are to act in conference
with the Greenback State Committee.
The convention then adjourned sine
lie without adopting any resolutions.

Many persons who. are weak and
sickly at this season of the year are at
q loss to know what will restore their
health. 1t has lately been found by
that the use of Speer's
Port Grape Wine is one of the best
restoratlyes known. Physicians, cler.
gymen and temperance advocates
should encourage tho use of Port
Grape and thus aid the cause of TOM
perance and moderation. 1t is espec-
tally recommended to families for its
purity, exquisite flavor and healthy
properties. Medical men certify to its
medical powers. Mr.. Speer
has been for years engaged in the
raising of grapes and perfecting this

cess before it Is fit for market.-[N.
