| SUMNER Mr.. Charles Pulsifer lately
deceased in West Sumner, was n gentleman
OF very strong moral and religious char
| acter, and man much respected. For
uine years he was an overseer in the Hill
mill at Lewiston. In the spring OF 1864,
| he moved 10 w. Sumner where he has
since resided. Ii was truly said OF him by
the clergyman who oliiciated at the funer-
al,--''He had no enemies" His death is
great misfortune to his family, especially,
as they ever looked 10 him as a safe cou l.
sellor and guide. 1t Is fact worthy OF
mention, that among the children, grand
children and great grandchildren OF jon
athan Pulsifer, the father OF Mr.. Charles
| Pulsifer, no death has occurred before for
over Is years. The number OF persons in-

THE NEW VERSION.

Nr. Editor Il was reading sermon by
Talmage not long ago, the subject Of
which was the New Version; A Mutila.
ton and Profanatiou". Whatever else the
the uttcrances of this reverend gentleman
NAV lack, they certainly do not lack rhet-
orical snap, aud this particular discourse
Is no exception 10 the rule. i. might be
called illogical. and ii might be called un-
charitable, In some OF the ideas advanced,
II one were disposed 10 use correct terms
of description. The thought OF his heart
seems 10 be that those eminent men-emi-
nent for Biblical knowledge as well emf.
nent for piety-who have been engaged in
this commendable work, are but little bet
ter than skeptics, picking flaws in the
written Word. And after so long time
the changes, he says, are trivial. Then 1t
cannot be much OF mutilation, and can
see no great cause for alarm. He says IL
is too late TO reconstruct the Bible. have
always heard that 1t Is never too late TO
mend. He seems 10 think the little errors
and inaccuracies ought to stand undis-
turbed forever, for in making those cor
rections II is rather rough on the sacred
associations that cluster around the
dear old book. The associations can
not be very greatly disturbed II the
changes are Of no marterial conse
quence. The associations and recollec,
tons that cluster around the dear old
school masters OF the long ago, are swee,
and tender and we love them well, but
we would not choose them to instruct ouI
children today. Iwould sacrifice associa.
ton for accuracy and in score or two OF
years, when We have passed away our chill
drenIwill have both accuracies and associa-
tions. No matter so much about US old Eel
lows, but we want the rising generations OF
men the very best there is. No matter how
we'll this new Book reads it cannot be su.
perior to the language Of Him who spake,
He never conveyed his doctrines in an
awkward and broken manner. The mat
ter was above criticism and the manner
also. Brother Talmage thinks the manner
OF but little consequence. The manner oil
his disposing Of those who have given Us
this better translation would seem to indi-
cate that he hasn't caught the the manner
Of Jusus, and the matter lies lightly on his
soul, for charity seems to be wanting and
without charity we are warranted by the
old translation, in saying that Brother
Talmage is about down to zero.
Iconfess that have no charity, no pa
thence, no love for one who is weak
enough and wicked enough to feel salts
faction or to feel Indifferent to the great
crime that has just shocked all Christen
dom. Any man who would say ''good! 7
ought to be eternally banished from his
country, for he Is not worthy to bear tht
name Of an American citizen. j. n. !.

How TO KILL TIE POTATO BuG.-A
very cheap and easy method of destroying
the Colorado beetle on potato vines Is To
60 through between the rows just at sun
set or little after. when the leaves will
be closed together, showing the under side
and exposing every cluster Of eggs to full
view. Take single or garden trowel
and place 1t against the eggs and press on
the other side with the hand, and every
egg will be instantly crushed. The beetles
can be killed at the same time, and by
going over the piece twice thoroughly they
can be entirely eradicated. This is much
easier than trying to destroy the slugs
after they hatch and spread themselves
promiscuously over the whole field, and
much safer than using Paris Green or Lon
don Purple. NJ.

M NJ. Phinney. the Norway Z

M. NJ. Phinney, the Norway dry
goods merchant, has just been to Boston,
and made large additions to his already
large stock of goods. His shelves and
drawers and counters are full of new
goods at low prices, and every conceiv-
able corner and nook is also filled. The
stock is good and new, and will be- sold
for cash at less than city prices. Mr..
Phinney has come to stay with US in
this County, as is shown by the fact that
he is now building new house on Beal
Street, Norway. The grounds, stable
and out buildings will be made very
attractive. Mr.. p. proposes to have one
of the best stands in Norway.
