Hiram, college.

Hiram College, Ohio, was founded in
March, 1880 under the name of the Western
Reserve Eclectic Institute In the catalogue
of 1851 appears the name of James A Garfield
Cuyahoga County. In 1852 he ranks as
teacher in tho English department and of
the ancient languages. Graduating from
Williams college in 1856, he returned to
Hiram as teacher of the ancient languages
and literature. In 1857 he was chosen
principal, and performed the duties of that
office until he entered the army in August,
1861. General Garfield was advisory prin-
cipal for two or three years longer, when he
was elected trustee, position which he
still retains. The institute was founded
by leading disciples of the Western Reserve,
and members of this religious body still
exercise controlling influence. Feb. 20,
1867, it was voted to invest the institute
with collegiate powers, in accordance with
State enactment, and the name chosen was
Hiram College, The total number of stu
dents who have been at the institution is
over five thousand nearly half of the grad
yates are ladies. President Hinsdale re-
marks that "the experiment of co-education
has been successful" Students have come
from twenty-four States the District of
Columbia, Canada, Now Brunswick, Eng
land and Germany. Ohio has furnished a
large majority. Students for the colleg
year ending June9 1881, were classified as
follows: Seniors, o; Juniors 8 s0phOmores,
IA freshmen, %; preparatory department.,
Z languages, music and other branches, 154 |;
total, PA gentlemen, 113; ladies, 1O1).
There are three literary societies-the Del
phic, the Hesperian and the Olive Branch
Mrs. Garfield was a student at Hiram be-
fore her husband entered. She was one of
the 102 who attended during the first term
Of the Eclectic Institute, and the name of
Lucretia Rudolph is in the first catalogue
She taught some classes at the institute, and
was subsequently teacher in the public
schools of Cleveland until her marriage in
1862

Lemonade, even when made from
lemons, in tin vessel with sOldered joints
or in galvanized iron vessel, will take up
the lead from the one or the zinc from the
other A salt is then formed which is very
unwholesome, and when taken continually
or in large quantities Is absolutely poison
GUS. The injurious action is considerably
increased if citric or tartaric acids are used
instead of lemons in making the lemonade
Consequently the use of such vessels for
lemonade should be avoided, especially il
the contents are allowed to stand for any
length of time. An overdose of any of these
acids is bad, and they are worse when taken
in the form of lemonade. Nothing would be
likely to give the cholera quicker than a
succession of these drinks.
An eccntric old gentleman in Lincoln
shire, England, aged eghty-three, is, it is
stated, so firmly convinced of the approach
ing end of the world, that he has ordered
an immense balloon to be made for his own
convenience, by means of which he hopes
to witness the destruction of the planet
without sharing the fate of its inhabitants.
He will take with him in his ascent timed
provisions, brandy saltwater, claret and
other creature comforts in sufficient quanti-
ii cs to meet his requirements for three
years, by which time he calculates that his
life will have come to natural close. He
is Of opinion that among the debris of the
world will beseveral large fragments, on one
ofwhich he will be able to effect descent at
an oppOrtune moment and find refuge for
his few remaining years He proposes
to take with him no companion but a
gamekeeper, who has been long in his ser.
vice and for whom he has great regard.
He has, however, warned his faithful re-
tainer, who is only fifty-two years old, that
when the provisions in the balloon are ex.
hausted he will have to shift for himself,
and may therefore in three years time be
without means of subsistence. The old
gentleman is perfectly calm, and, indeed
cheerful. He expects, he declares, to get on
better without the world than with 1t.
The observers at Cambridge, Mass, dc
not think that the new comet is that Of
1887, and doubt if it will prove to be
comet of which there is any record. In the
observations made at Cambridge the devia
ton of the actual from the predicted orbit
amounts thus far to almost nothing. Prof
Stone, of the Cincinnati observatory, who
has been studying the newly-discoveret
comet inclines to the opinion that it is the
comet of 1887, and that 1t may become
visible to the naked eye. He says it will
reach its perihelion about August 10.

There is going to be a heavy
peach crop in Hawkins county this
year. We see that there is a par
tial failure in the crop in the prin-
cipal peach producing regions, and
this fact should encourage our peO-
pie to save the peaches here. Dried
fruit next fall will in all probability
have a better price than it has for
years. Get ready now, and as soon
as your peaches are ripe gather and
dry them. 1t will pay.

the examinations will close.
/ earnestly appeal to teachers,
directors and friends of education
generally for their support and CO
operation in this enterprise. No
teacher can afford to be absent. |

should attend in order to learn all
they can, and thus fit themselves as
well as possible for the important
work before them, Those who !
know enough already should at
tend in order that their less favored |
brothers may have the advantage
of their learning, experience, and
skill. The directors of the county

school buildingi in Morristown, Mon
day, July 4, to consider matters of
relating to our schools.
Let every district be represented. |

WE have given the "new issue"
of the New Testament a slight eX-
animation. We took hold of the
little book for the first time with a
curious feeling. 1t might have
been superstition but it seemed that
somebody had been tampering with
sacred things. That old book came
down to us through the hands of
our mother. She believed in the
simplicity of her heart that the
book had been written by the di-
rect inspiration of the Almighty
himself, and she taught us to be-
lieve, in our childhood, that every
word in it was the veritable Word
of God.
King James translation of the
English Bible was made between
the years 1902, when he assembled
the throne, and 1926, when he died.
For more than two hundred years
that translation has stood the test of
criticism. 1t has led millions and
millions of souls into the miraculous
light of christianity and spiritual
freedom. It has emancipated the
enslaved minds of men in all parts
of the earth and has given the hu
man race an impetus forward which
could not possibly have been brought
about by any human agency. King
James translation of the Scriptures
and the discovery of the art of print
ing has done more to elevate the hu-
man race, to christianize the world,
to make men free, to educate the
masses and to enlighten the chill
dren of Adam than all other infiu-
ences combined.
But we live in an age of change.
Since the editors of the GAZETTE
were little boys, the entire face of
the earth has changed its appear
ance. Everything has been i'm
proved, and perhaps it is right that
King James translation should be
revised and the language modern
lied. 1t will be some time, how
ever, before the old version will be
displaced by this new edition. No
great alterations in the meaning of
the text have been effected The
translators are doubtless honest men.
They have given the sense of the
original Hebrew language in the
simplest and best English they could
command, and, as a matter of fact,
the new translation is, no doubt,
great improvement on the old But
the same feeling which crept over
US when we first took hold of the
new book will, to a mach greater
extent, repulse the great mass of
the Bible readers of the country
from the new issue The churches
are jealous of innovations. Thous-
ands and thousands think the Bible
was written by God Almighty him |
self; that he divided it into chapters
and verses that he had it printed |
and published Just as he wanted it |
to appear, and they will resent as
sacrilege any change in the words
or even in the spelling of the words |
of King James translation.
Nevertheless, the world moves.
Men change their modes of think
ing, and while the great funda-
mental truths of the Bible are as
enduring as eternity itself, the par
ticuIar language in which these !
truths are conveyed to the mind of
men may and will be altered to
suit the conditions of society. So |
while at first this new Bible will in
all probability be rejected, it will
remain among US and will gradual
ly in the course Of years supercede I
the old one and will be adopted as
the Scriptures of the English speak
ing people of the world.
