Miss D. Tyler went back to her home
in Wisconsin last Friday.
Miss Fannie Homer also returned to
her former home, in Canada, a few days
later.
Glad to sec Wilson Moore at home this
week. from his post in the News Office at
Marshall, to which he returns after Christ
mas. The fact is apparent. without his
assurance, that he is doing we'll at Mar
shall.
Three of the teachers in our village
schools are taking a breathing spell
abroad during the holidays. Miss Aver
went home on Saturday. and Misses Park
and Bigham started on a trip eastward
last Tuesday.
A. NJ. Goodrich, of the Lamberton Com
mercial, made us neighborly visit last
Tuesday. We regret to hear the report
confirmed, that he contemplates removing
from the county in the even: of selling
his printing Office. The Commercial and
GAZETTE have dwelt together on the
friendliest terms. hitherto.
The genial Col. MCGUIRE and his subor-
dinates changed their headquarters this
week to Bird Island. from whence they
will extend their canvass for the North.

Our village has been somewhat fluttered

Our village has been somewhat fluttered
during the past week by the presence
among US of the NJ. & st. L. surveyors,
who have staked out several preliminary
lines for the road, one ofswhich will very
likely be adopted. The first line surveyed
intersscts the c. s. N. w. road about half
= mile or 80 east of tho depot, and other
routes enter the town on the southeast,
one line being staksd out near the brow
of the ravine north of Bridge street, en-
tsring at the rear of the Presbyterian
church property and running near Capt.
Dunnington's barn and through Mr.. Wor-
den's Oak Glen lots, intersecting the Red
wood stones throw above the present
wagon bridge. The engineers found u
number of the stakes left by the survey
ors for the Northwestern several years
ago. Of course it is now problematical
as to where the road will cross the Red
wood, or indeed whether it will cross it
at all. The opinion generally prevails
here that the road will adopt the first
route, and have its depot somewhere in
the neighborhood of the Northwestern's. 3.
The engineers subsequently, surveyed a
route on the town line running east Of
the village. A conference of the officers
Of the road will probably be held soon,
and further proceedings decided upon
Engineer Evarts will report to hcadquar-
ters next week.

ssThe Stars"

This lecture. the frat of the series to
be given Tuesday evenings at the Meth
odist Church. approves the judgment Of
our Methodist friends in inaugurating
, the course. A fair sized audience was
present and had tho lecture been more
loudly advertised for weeks before hand,
the number might have been much larg-
er. as we hope it may be for the succeed
ing lectures. Mr.. Pembcrton gave a
brief outline of the beginnings of astrono-
my,-how wandering shepherds first be-
gan the s>udy Of the stars, and after
these the wise men of Egypt, Chaldea
and China, until the time of Thalcs, the
Grecian philosopher. and his disciples,
who advanced some Of the theories after
ward adopted by Copernicus, and popu-
larry attributed to him-among them,
that the earth is globe, and that cit do
move" as Galileo averrco. The theory
Of Thales in regard to our earth was su-
perccdcd by the erroneous Ptolomaic or
fiat earth theory, which was generally
accepted down to the time of Copernicus,
$50 years ago, when modern ASTRONOMY
had its birth.
Proceeding the lecturer illustrated,
with the aid of diagrams on blackboard,
how astronomers measure the distances
Of tho heavenly bodies from our planet
This was followed by some interesting
facts in regard to what astronomers know
and what they are led to believe about
our starry neighbors. We have not space
nor the art to present The illustrations
advanced by the speaker to show the i'm
measurable magnitude of the mal9 suns
and groups OF suns, with their attendant
planets and satellites, which roll through
space, but the impression left upon the
mind of the listener was that our earth
is very small affair, comparatively
speaking.
The next lecture, on the Genesis and
Birth Of Worlds" Will doubtless excite
the interest Of those who think they see
a conflict between the revelations of the
Bible and the revelations Of science.
Dir. Pemberton honors his audiences
with careful preparation before hand.
and without obtruding notes or reading
his lectures, seems to have statistics and
necessary facts at his tongues end. The
church choir sang selection at the be-
ginning and close of the lecture.

Our Delhi correspondent asked an ex-
PLANTATION of the word "Boycotting," last
week, which We overlooked. If we re-
member rightly. Boycott was driven from
his home not more by force and threats
of violence than by the refusal of intip-
idated tradesmeH to deal with him,
and of intimidated laborcrs to work fol-
him. We thought the resolutions in
question showed disposition TO freeze
out" The Pioneer Press, with no probabil-
ity of accomplishing that end.

A recent letter received by +. V. Hotch-
kiss from his brother at Granite, proves
that some former reports from there
have been much exaggerated. Only
eleven cases all told of small pox or var
ioloid had developed at Granite. and only
nineteen in the country surrounding
thirty in all. The only deaths had been
that of Mr.. Baxter and child, and the
man who went to Wisconsin and died.
The Journal says that the child of An
drew Loe died on the 14th, which makes
