A TELEGRAM, purporting to have
come from London, has been going
the rounds of the Cincinnati press
to the effect that Mr.. Thomas
Hughes had severed his connection
with the Rugby Colony. No news
of this kind has as yet been received
in Rugby and Mr.. John Boyle
declares that as far as he knows
Mr.. Hughes had no intention OF
taking any such step. Still it is an
extraordinary thing that a telegram
of this description should be for
warded to Cincinnati unless there
was some foundation for it. Let us
hope, however, that there is nc
such foundation for should Mr.
Thomas Hughes indeed abandon
the enterprise it would probably be
the "last straw" to this much tried
colony. The position Of Rugby is
already sufficiently critical to cause
considerable apprehension to those
interested in her future and i
would be exceedingly unwise of thu
Board of Aid to allow any silly low
of official mystery to prevent al
outspoken and immediate denial O
the telegram in question.

ITS AIMS.
lst.-To promote cordial feeling of brother
hood not only between the two divisions
of the English speaking race, but also
between the different sections of this
country.
2nd.-To let all interested know, from time to
time, how Rugby is getting on; what
the Rugbeians are doing and thinking
about, and what they can say as to the
prospects of the settlement and neigh
bourhood.
3rd.-By discussion in broad spirit to face
any differences Of opinion that may
arise, affecting the welfare of Rugby.
and by such discussion to arrive at any
rate at an amicaJIe agreement to
differ.

very limited in area, and far from
the highways of commerce. This

surrounded on all sides, as it is, by

ceit, while he jumped about like a
limber-jack. And 1! alas! I could
not prove it. True, Jumps of clay,
hard enough to knock a niger
down, if they hit him square in the
forehead, lay all about us, thrown
out Of post holes. But if Selfconceit
and his peers did not know clay
when they saw it, much less would
they know anything about the
chemical test; for yea, verify, clay
is one Of those fellows that show
their hearts in their faces. Further
more, if any enterprising gentleman
farmer, or agent from the highly
favoured agricultural cline of Nor
way, or elsewhere, has the interest
of agriculture in general at heart (it
would be preposterous to presume
anyone has the interest of Rugby at
heart), he can discover clay enough
all along the cut of the Sedgemoor
road to gladden. his heart, if clay
will do it; that is, if he will cut
holes in his leather specs and try to
see. That the soil is thin, is a fact,
gentlemen, but thin was the Judge
ment Of those who made it so by
their improvident burning up, a
burnt Offering to laziness, the leaves
out of which Nature would. have
made a mould many inches in depth,
had she been left to herself. Cast
no stones at those thin Drained
pioneers Of the mountain, gentlemen,
agents, critics, ETC., of Rugby; ye
are not without sin. The noun
taineer could put no faith in the
future. 1t would take too long, too
much Work, to fence a few acres,
clear it, and put it in grass for
pasture. It was easier to stick his
match Or tinder in the dry leaves
and burn the woods out, SO that
little wild grass would grow up, and
answer the present purpose An
yes! the present. Ye do verify
believe bird in the hand is worth
two in the bush. But how to gel
it in the hand, is the question
Birds are not caught by throwing
salt on their tails, in the woods
they are too wild. Ye should g

AS to the use Of fertilizers and
the keeping up Of the land by the
rotation Of crops, no farmer worthy
Of the name, neglects these things,
no matter how good the soil may be.
All who pretend to have good gar
dens manure heavily every year,
even in the rich bottoms of the
Ohio. The land soon begins to
deteriorate under the strain, if the
manuring is not attended to
regularly.
This mountain soil will not need
much in the way Of fertilizers, if
rotation is duly attended to. The
land will produce pretty fairly while
new, and crops need not impoverish
it. The wearing out of land, smacks
too much of pigheadedness, to have
place in this age. However, l
will add for the benefit Of those who
wish to indulge in the somewhat
questionable exercise of wearing out
land, that they can find an article
that will give them several years
amusement, in the far west, where
they can use their crops Of corn fol
fuel, to keep from freezing to death
and sell What is-left, for 10, cents
per bushel. The high prices paid
for produce in the southern markets
will make farming pay here, if much
less is raised per acre than in the
great West; while, the facts in the
. case are, that those things that pay
| best, can be raised best here. 1t is

Here on this windy slope I'll stand,
That stretches downward to the strand
Of yonder river, OIL whose breast,
The pictured mountains lie in rest;
Save as the gliding leaf may plow
tiny track across the stream,
Marking the picture with geam
As of its golden PROV;
Or wood duck floating darkly still,
Gives to the wave transient thrill,
That bends the picture on the river,
And makes the spectre wild reeds quiver;
Or vagrant wind that wanders down,
From troops that tramp the mountains crown
May dash upon the waters breast,
And for moment break its rest;--
Here will stand and dream my dream;
Like this bare slope my life will seem;
The tide Of Fortune gently flows
Far down in undisturbed repose,
Repose and plenty there are given,
TO me, the clouds and winds of Heaven;
There, blessings shower thick and fast,
To crown the future as the past;
Here, every breeze's wayward fight,
Winnows more bare the sterile height.
3ut ah the human heart will cling
10 tri1es that beset It's way
Even as wild bird, sit and sing
Within bough its total day.
What matters it that blessings flow
Around the souls that cropping go,
Chained in their dull inanc repose
Who blessings neer by contrast tried,-
Ne'er felt the hero's lofty pride
That from his conquest fows;-
What matter that the roses blow
Around his feet who neer can know,
Tue glory of the roses birth,
In contrast to the naked earth

moment doubt that the jury's verdict was
in strict accordance with the evidence and
the law placed before them. If there was
any bribery IN the case at all it was practic
ed upon the witnesses tor the prosecution
or upon the states attorney and the latter
but few will be bold enough to assert and
would not be believed if it were asserted.
All that can be definitely said about this
case is that, either the management on the
side Of the defense was exceptionally good,
or that the management on the side of the
prosecution was miserable.

Jessie Critchlow was arrested by Marshal

melons from the wagon of a

watermelon thieves, or robbers, they might
be more properly called, have always been,

Gus fruit. Merchants, too, suffer almost

The house itself has been raised and i'm.

model of neatness and taste. Everything
connected with the place is tirst.cass. The
whiskies include the celebrated Monarch
brand furnished by r. Smyth & Co. Best's
Milwaukee beer and the best qualities
of foreign and domestic wines will
be found behind the counter.
Give the boys call to night, about nine
o'clock. The npirit Of enterprise, which
they have displayed, should of itself en-
title them to liberal share of public pat
ronage. They will be found polite and
courteous and in perfect mastery OF that
neat faculty, which teaches men IN their

dividual and collcctre sense to the support
which contributes to their success.

not, however, cause permanent suspension
of the theatre. The company will be re-

Next Tuesday night the grove will be
