Phrenologists tell us that there is
bump on the Uranium which denotes
order in the habits of person, and the
PERSONS characteristics in that respect
are governed as the bump is more or
less prominent, and that the bump can
| be cultivated, &c. If such is the fact,
some professional bumpist might do a
thriving business in this place, by cul-
tivating that particular locality, with
such of our young gentlemen, who
seem to be totally lacking in that vi
cinity, and who would undoubtedly
consent to treatment to make up the
deficiency. 1t is said by those who
ought to know, that, just at this time,
there never was known to be SO many
young men in our midst so completely
lacking in that trait so essential to
tidiness, thrift and cleanliness. How
it looks to see lot of agricultural inn
plements piled on top of the fence, and
front fence at that; or to see three or
four carriages in promiscuous heap.
If one was to be used, ten, to one it
could not be found. And then, what
place to store wagon wheels, on top
Of windmill, seventy-five feet from
the ground. - lust think of the labor
foolishly lost in elevating the wheels
to such a height, when there is plenty
of room, and more convenient, lower
down. How out of place it looks to
see great big band-wagon standing
close up TO ladies' boarding hail. The
ladies do not wish to ride in such a
vehicle; better come up with carriage
and spanking team, and the ladies
will entertain your suit more favorably
Milk cans scattered profIsely about on
lawn, where there is no dairy, are
entirely out of place, and indicates
total ignorance Of their use. One
would suppose that young men could
notmistake the use of sleigh, but
when we see them dragging sleighs
around, in the night, at this time of
year, we rather think they are SOM
nambulists-or mules. How absent
minded they are, when they forget to
turn on the burrs to wagon after
turningthe off. After using clapper
to bell it should always be immedi-
ately returned, for what is bell good
for without a clapper? 1t is very an
noying to the janitor to climb four
| flights of stairs every half hour to
pound the bell with a sledge hammer,
because some needless young men
have borrowed the clapper. Perhaps
the young men supposed when they
took the clapper that they were getting
the noise. If SO, we will innocently
say to them, that it is the bell coming
in contact with the clapper that makes
the noise. Now if these young men
would cultivate that bump of order,
many ludicrous and embarrassing mis-
takes would be avoided. 5r-. a..
Mrs. Perkins, of Cleveland, lectured
here last week, on temperance. She is
a fair declaimer- is-we mean
she speaks well. She is a prohibition

legislature with five miles of petition

stitution. I
A Ladies Temperance UnionL League,

or a Union Ladies Temperance League
something like that-has been organ
lied in this place. It is understood
that prohibition is the object of the
Undertaking. -
