The ladies of the Universslist church neld
their annual fair in the church vestry on
Thursday and Friday of last week. Refresh
ments of all kinds were plentiful and most ex-
celent The ice cream and candy booths were
very tastefully arranged and literally patron
lied. The room was prettily decorated with
flags, evergreens and gay colored bunting
One of the pleasantest features OF both eve
nings was the voting upon picture OF the
pastor, the Rev. Mr.. Hayden. The picture
was presented by Conant. The successful can
didate was Mr.. George M. Stevens, gentle
man who makes himself very useful in the So
ciety and the Sabbath school Rebekah at her
moss grown well supplied the thirsty with cool
lemonade. Numerous articles were voted upon
and among them was a barrel of apples given
by Mr.. Boothby and won by Mr.. w. A. Hill.
The most noticeable booth was matched cot
tage, curtained and containing beautiful
butter-woman skilfully fashioned by Miss U.
Nj. Record. AS it was The first work OF the kind
ever done by the lady it was really remarka-
able. Many went to view and admire. The
many pretty things upon the fancy table were
much admired and sold at once. The music
WAS most excellent. Jarley's wax works were
very amusing and Miss Ella f. Cox took Mrs.
farley part TO perfection. The ladies may be
assured that the affair was a success. The en-
terrainment realized about $185.

momen and the Methodists.

The Rev. DIR. McKeown assures US that the
statements made in Mrs. Mary G. Peckham'i
paper in regard to Women and the Methodist
Church, copied in our issue of yesterday, are
false. He says that the three questions quoted
by Mrs Peckham, are never asked at Meth
odist class meeting, and never were asked
there. DR.. McKeown also requests the Press
to publish the following. which appeared in
the latest issue of lions Herald:

Cured last evening" Mr.. Chase presiding, Supt
fash reported for the month of November:

After the usual routine of business the lee
turer of the evening, Hon j. w. Dickinson
secretary of the Board OF Education of Massa'
chusetts, was introduced and addressed the
teachers for an hour ON the Science of Teach
ing"
In his own state the principles of teaching
are receiving increasing attention and study,
consequently the teachers are daily improving
in their work. By their daily work they are
disproving the claim that There are no Prin-
ciples of Teaching" The lecturer gave as an
example, the usual definition of arithmetic,
the science of numbers aud the act OF comput-
ing by them" and showed that the definition
is meaningless unless the meaning OF the sig
niicant terms, science, number, art, and com
putting are first understood.
He explained very fully the objective method
Of teaching in distinction from the mere COM
hitting of words, and showed that the prlnci-
pie of objective teaching may be applied to all
branches of study; that the ends to be reached
in teaching are knowledge, culture, method.
In imparting knowledge we should LIST, present
what is to be known; I'd, elementary or obJec-
tive teaching should precede scientific. In inn
parting culture we should direct pupils and
leave them to do the work for themselves. In
irnparting method LIST, we should present the
whole before the parts; I'd, in presenting the
parts of an object we should observe the natur-
al ORDER IN presenting the parts of a subject
we should observe the logical order.
The lecturer showed very conclusiyely that
there is "science OF teaching" and in 50 terse
way that it would be difficult to give an ad-
eouate idea of his proofs in brief report In
illustrating his subject he showed himself the
real teacher by the free use of the blackboard
in illustration, to enable his audience to retain
the points made. His synopsis of his lecture
is still left on the blackboard at the superin-
tendent's room for future reference by teachers.
Great interest was manifested by the teachers
in the lecture. A lecture was announced for
the next monthly meeting blythe executive
committee.

Neglect cold and severe suffering is the result.
Some say, "Don't use medicine, and it will soon
wear away" That may bring about the desired re-
suit in some but very few have sufficient physical
strength to throw off cold, without the aid

for the speedy and certain relief of coughs, colds,
sore throat, hoarseness, bronchitis &c. The pecu-
