think the people of Peacham would
see it, and we reckon they will but
it may be when too late TO prevent a
wrong done innocent parties No man
in Peacham has asked the CdIedORidn
to mess into this trouble that has been
thrust upon the Peacham church, and
this would not have been printed were
it not for this new charge made against
Mr.. Wild, and the impression given by
our Peacham correspondent in his
items to this paper that he was not fair

Plagiarism Gone Mad.

The attempt to make trouble in the
church at Peacham by charging Pastor
Wild with plagiarism, is most absurd.
There is evidence in this office, where
the sermon was printed, that the au-
thor utterly disclaimed credit for the
quotations made, and if the printed
pamphlet fails to show them all (it GER
tainly shows severaD it was evidently
an oversight. But this attempt of one
man to dictate the course of a church
towards its pastor, or the polity of the
church itself, may well be questioned
and when that man is an outsider, not
only in citizenship but in religious
views, the business becomes not only
ridiculous but an outrage upon Chris
tan courtesy and decency. We should

j. p. Williams, of Rutland, who is
agent for the state fish commissioners,
has been in this vicinity of late, stock
ing the ponds with Oswego, rock and
black bass. About two weeks ago he
stocked ponds i'll Newark and Sutton,
and last week these fish were put into
Keyzer's pond, Joe's pond, Halls pond
and Miles pond. Now if fishermen will
exercise little patience for year or
two, and toss back any of these fish
they may happen to catch, it will great
ly assist in keeping these ponds well
stocked with desirable fish. These
bass increase very rapidly, and if too
great havoc is not made with them for
II year or two, we are informed that it
will be about impossible after that to
exhaust the supply. Let the ambitious
fisherman remember this after the first
of next May.

The village authorities have some
difficulty in convincing some people
that it is not the proper thing to drive
horses upon sidewalks. When expos
tulated with by the road commissioner
the other day, an Out-of-tOwn man told
him he usually drove where he had a
mind to. but when the man was told
that he was breaking a village law and
the authorities would see that he was
fined before he left town, if he persist
ed in his eccentricities, he hauled in
his horns. Ii is evident to all that the
sidewalk is not the proper place for
horses and carriages, and the two men
who drove the entire length of the
brick walk from the Plain to Fairbanks
village last Sunday probably know it
as well as anybody.

preached at the North church last Sab
bath, and addressed the Sunday school
most acceptably. His morning text
was from l Tim. i: IL" According to

He showed that the gospel subdues the
bad passions of men-that there was
no other certain cure for the appetite
for strong drink, anger, envy, lust, etc,
but grace i'll the heart. The gospel
also takes away the gloom of living,
and gives hope in death, and life here
after.

Wise Sayings.

Truth gives wings to strength.
Report is quick traveller, but an un-
safe guide.
Our charities and indulgences should
be mutual.
What appear to be calamities are often
the sources of fortune.
We always find wit and merit in those
who look at us with admiration.
A real spirit should neither court neg
lect nor dread to bear it.
How small Of all that human hearts endure
The part that king or la WIS can cause or cure.
Sow good services; sweet remem-
brances will flow from them.
Let every man strive to add good
name to his other capital.
Lose not thine own for want of ask
ing for it; twill give thee no thanks.
The strongest part of our religion to-
day is the unconscious poetry.
IT'S expectation makes blessing dear;
Heaven were not Heaven If we knew what i
were.
I have often thought that the nature
of woman was inferior to that of mar
in general, but superior in particular.
Conceit, more rich in matter than words
| Brags Of his substance. not of ornament;
They are but beggars that can count thei
wealth.
More hearts pine away in secret an.
guish from the want of kindness from
those who should be their comfort than
from any other calamities in life.
The heights by great men reached and kept,
| Were not attained by sudden flight,
But they, while their comrades slept,
We're toiling upward in the night.
Whatever your sex or position, life Il
a battle in which you are to show you
pluck, and woe be to the coward. Des
pair and postponement are cowardic
and defeat. Men were born to succee'
and not fail.
