There is large brick oven OF sufficient

(Intended for last wcek.--ED)
To the Editor Of the Herald
We saw an item in your last issue,
entitled "Poor Jones'" Truly we do
live in ga land of STRIFE" but no such
strife was ever known in this commun-
ity as on the present conference year.
Strife began when brother Spencer
came here, and has been followed up
to the very letter ever since. Now we
as believers in the Good Book think
and advise that it would be better for
the community at large, and the cause
we advocate, that men that are called
to preach the gospel should not med
die with such things Tvs we have
seen the name of j. w. Spencer
signed to. We consider such items
slanderous upon our quietcommunity,
and would that we might not have any
more from our leading men, and more
especially, preachers Of the gospel,

TO PENSIONERS AND SOLDIERS.

1T no time since the Rebellion has
there been so many invalid pensioners
entitled to an increase of their pen
sions as now, for the reasons
LIST. The laws and rules governing
the rating of pensions are more liberal
toward the soldier than heretofore.
I'd. The new pensions, granted since
the adjustment of the biennial medi-
Cal examination, have been rated low,
or too low, and were therefore entitled
to an immediate increase where the
disability had not changed.
3rd. The disabilities, whether re-
sulting from diseases or wounds, are
progressing, and tell more seriously up
on men as they advance in years when
the body is less vigorous to resist the
eifests of chronic pains and disc ases.
In applying for an increase the pen
sioner retains his old certificate and re-
ceives his pension at the old rate until
u new certificate is issued.
Meritorious rejected claims, and I'M
completed claims, in the hands of nu-
merous Washington attorneys, who are
prohibited from corresponding with
the Pension O1ice on account of mis-
conduct, can be completed and all the
arrears of pension obtained. Address,

nature. lie then told his audience
how they could resist temptation, some
times with closed shutters, and in vari-
Gus other ways. Among the good
things he said, was that there ale some
temptations that thrive most when
they are hunted with noise and par
ade, and this is too true. lie closed by

are valued at over 500, and cannot be
replaced for that money. No trace as
yet has been had of the perpetrator or
perpetrators of this crime against the
school. 1t must have been done by
somebody tolerably well acquainted
with the situation of the house and its
contents. What could have induced
anyone to take these books, etc., max
ing lean sweep, is beyond our COM
prehension. No sane person could
have taken them for gain, and it is not
known as anyone did it to spite the
teacher or any member of the school.
The a. at best is one of pure cussed-
ness, for no conceivable benefit can
possibly be derived from such an act
Of cruelty to whole district. Some of
the families have lost at least from So

papers which can serve no one but
those to whom they belonged.

found in Vermont, at least in the dem
ocratic party, when voters, unless they
reform it is quite possible that party
may have to be stigmdUized by them.

form, aud then realize that theft, pro-
family, and indecency are no part of Il

ton of like acts, names will be freely

have been if friends of the parties had
not interceded for them. hon. Mr..
Crawford made an able speech, and as
he was once u democrat he knew the
means by which they work and was
