in which was referred to as endorsing

the reference might be misleading,
would like little space in your paper
to explain. list: heard Miss Hagan
lecture, and among others wrote u sub
ject on slip of paper for her to speak
upon and at the close, as she reques-

entertaining. AS a specimen of what
she can do at rhyIning on short

that it was natural for her to rhyme
and that she might have spoken upon

GEN. GARrIELD's ACCEPTANCE

Gen. GArfeld's acceptance of the
nomination for President is the first
of series of happy contrasts between
the two candidates, their theories,
policy and action. 1t is perfectly
evident that Gen. Garfield went away
by himself Immediately on the NOM
ination and wrote out his own theo-
ries, and stated his own plans for
conducting the next administration.
This shows to US a ready, mastery,
frank and honest mind. Further
than this, he lodges no questions,
but discusses the whole Republican
platform with candor, fairness and
confidence which is due to the theo-
ries of the party; thus showing a
readiness, skill, independence and
fearlessness which will not only cap
ture the next Presidency, but with
it also the approval of the American
people and of history. On the other
hand it is announced that Gen. Han
cock is still meditating Oil what to
say. To say the least, if he has al
ready written it, it is tardy in com
ing forth, What may be some of
the reasons? for no delays in such
an important campaign as this occurs
with any less purpose than forward
movement. l. he consulting with
political managers or has he been,
with reference to his method of
shadowing his coming administra-
ton? Does he hesitate from indie
cision, or want of ability as states
man? Ga all the questions before the
people, Gen. Garfield is on record.
Every village in New England can
furnish information Of his sayings
on nearly every subject relating to
the platform, 50 there was no need
of his hurrying. Gen. Hancock has
no record upon those subjects, and
his military re5srl, as honorable as
it is, will not be sufficient to ran an
administration upon. Take for in
stance what G triield says about the
United States as q nation. See how
he defines, even to the mlnutest, all
the powers reserved to the States as
such. How he compares the powers
Of the general government, and its
duties and obligations with those be-
longing to the States. Now tie Dem
ocratic platform says i'll general term.
that it believes in State rights. Not
one word has yet been said as tc
what those rights were Let us see
if Gen. Hancock will be as specific
in his letter of acceptance. If he is
We shall be content; if he is not, W,
shall take the liberty to carry tn,

UP MOUNT BLUFF.

To the Edit0ref'thC Herald =" Already
now we'll start " and at the word,
twenty-four merry faces were turned
toward Old Bluff. The day so long
looked for had come, and the scholars
of school No. 2 were on their way to
the summit.
With baskets swinging two by two
they went and the glad voices spoke
of happy hearts.
The pastures crossed, and the bride
path successfully followed, (aN the
way) at just noon the shouts of the
forward ones told that the goal was
reached.
Then surprised voices exclaimed :
"Oh Teacher, isn't it nice |" "See
the village!" "See the pond !" THE
island looks as if it were sailing!" and
many other expressions quaint and
child-like.
But hungry boys aud girls could not
feast long on the beauties around them,
so the baskets were quickly opened
and the contents rapidly disappeared,
After dinner the various places OF
interest were pointed out, and the
Express " watched as it came creep,
ing into the village. Then all were
seated, and Fish, Flesh and Fowl,
and Buzz were played, and many
a laugh was enjoyed as one after an.
other was .'buZZed out.
But a cloud was gathering ovel
them, and almost before they were
a ware it was pouring its contents oil
their devoted heads" What scram
bling for water-proo and sheltered
hooks, was there ; and then they hud
died about the teacher like brood o
chickens around the mother-hen
waiting for the shower to pass. VIVA
a funny sight that was how the!
laughed as they looked at each othe
through the water streaming over thei
faces. .-..
The first shower was scarcely owe
when a second and heavier was upoI
them. How it did rain but still the,
laughed. Not even u soaking coult
dampen their joyous spirits. Afte
leaving white signal floating fror
the trunk of a tree, they started TO
home.
The woods were passed, and tn
bushes reached, when another copiou
supply was poured upon them, maxim
what was only aeet before, dripping now
Some sought shelter under large bush
es, Others under an occasional tree, bu
J all in vain. 1t rained in "bucket-fulls.
Then they scampered, and soon reach
: ed the foot. What sorry lookin
company it was. One would hardl
recognize them as the party that start
: ed fresh and clean so few hours before
The mothers might have groaned a
the sight of the soiled and drippin
garments, yet the faces of all bespok
of that buoyancy of spirits which til
storms Of time only can quench.

In reference to our customs laws, q
policy should be pursued which will
bring revenues to the treasury and ell
able the labor and capital employed
in our great industries to compete
fairly in our markets with the labor
and capital of foreign producers. We
legislate for the people of the United
States, not for the whole world, and it
is our glory that the American laborer
il more intelligent and better paid than
his foreign competitors. Our country
cannot be independent unless its peo-
pie, with their abundant natural re-
sources, possess the requisite skill at
any time to clothe, arm and equip
themselves for war, and in time of
peace to produce all the necessary I'M
plements of labor. 1t was the mani
fest intention of thu founders of the
government to provide for the common
defence, not by standing armies alone,
but by raising a greater army of artis-
ans, whose intelligence and skill should
powerfully contribute to the safety and
glory of the nation.

To the Editor Of the Herald - There
should be q larger number of orna-
mental shade trees in the streets of
our village. This is the proper season
to set them out. Nothing improves
the appearance of u country town more
than an abundant supply of stately
Films, Naples or Willows upon the
streets. They serve as u common OBJ
ject of pride, and common centre OF
regard to all. Let us do what we can
then to beautify the place with more

Tom O'yaek's Lad,

Rev. J. L. Houston's lecture at St..
Paul's NJ. E. church last evening'for the
benefit Of Kingswood chapel was attend
ed by about two hundred persons. The
great character Tom Jacks Lad was
well revealed. The interest was often
Itense, the characters were fine or
made SO by the power Of religion. The
GLASS nesting was exciting and instruc-
ting. The lovefeast, the last appear
anos of Mr.. Harrison was affecting. The
lecture was decidedly evangelical and
influential for God.
At the outset the lecturer was con-
fused by missing paper but he supplied
the fact by recollection. He said he vas
oppressed by the subject lpatter, and
as he proceeded he knew not which to
select. Owing TO the extensiveness of
his subject he omitted the application
which he priced more than the others.
He was unable to give all points of his
subject on account of its length it was
his first attempt to give lecture and
his SUCCESS was we'll earned. The sub
ject when completed will be very inter-
esting.

rho Townsend Case.

The everlasting case Of the applica-
tion Of B. +. Townsend for discha o -ge
from bankruptcy, came up in the U. S.
District Court to-day, and Judge Brad.
ford delivered his decision. The opinion
refuses to grant discharge at present
until certain formal amendments are
made in the schedules filed by said
bankrupt and required assent procured
from the creditors to the discharge. The
Court directed the amendments to be
fled on or before June 4. 1880.
The questions as presented in this
case are very novel, the opinions OF
several U. s. Courts being at variance
and in conflict with each other upon
the points covered by the opinion.
