| am sorry to read in your paper that
you lack fresh alTivals-permanent set

it would be quite stroke of policy for
the Board to advertise their lands in
some of the English papers, and even in
Germany, setting forth the advantages
of Rugby as to soil, climate, etc.
Speaking of poor soil, l enclose an
extract showing what was raised on A.

here knows that this land conld be had
for next to nothing before he took hold

ninety solid acres of potatoes, 800 acres
of oats, sos acres of corn, 800 acres Of

There are 500 sheep on the farm. One

NOTES AND FOOT NOTES.

In the Pittsjurg (Pa.) Dispatch of a few
days ago appears what purports to be a
description of Rugby, AS composition it is
highly interesting, and in the same sense that
one of Jules Verne's romantic stories is inter-
esting; the truth and the fiction, the real and
the unreal, are so incxtricably, and apparently
feasibly, mixed, that charming and amusing
story is presented for the minds contemplation.
We should like to present to those who know
Rugby, the whole article as it appears, but to
give it to those who 90 not know the colony,
as it has been done by the Pitsburg Dispatch,
is only to further confuse the public mind,
already, heaven knows, confused enough upon
the subject. Our space, too, forbids entry of
the whole article. which was the outcome of
an interview between Mrs. Marland of Pitts
burg. and reporter to the Dispatch. Mrs
Marlald is well known in Rugby as a most
estimable lady, and quite able, We should have
judged, of giving correct picture of the
place. We can only give few of the sketches,
and some foot notes Of of our own respecting
them.
Rugby is delightful place in which to
spend the summer season, the temperature
being many degrees lower than here, or even
in New York. The surroundings are simply
dense forests of oak and pine, extending owe,
radius Of about twenty miles. There is 9
line of hacks running to Rugby and splendid
hotel to stop at when you get there, managed
by Ross Hotten lD...... Besides the schools
there is church, a free library, a store called
the commissary, butcher shop and drus
store, where they sell whisky on prescription
at least they, know, sell it" (0......" Mrs
Hughes is at the colony. She is 81 years old

This place, which few weeks ago
consisted of two log huts, now boasts of
twelve dwelling houses.
The city is beautifully situated on
the banks of that pretty stream, Skull
Creek. High hills surround it on
every side, making it necessary for one
to follow the streams to get i'll or out.
Piles and Goad have forty-fve men
employed i'll getting out stave bolts,
seven more with teams drawing to the
mill, and S. H. Giles has eight men in
the mill, making total of sixty men

we have repeatedly had offered to us by native
farmers Poultry, beef mutton, vcnison.

could not have been made had anything really
been known of the English here. We don't
say there are none who do not prefer the dolce
far niente of life to welding the axe or follow
ing the pillow, but when work is to be had there
is no backwardness in coming forward to do
what presents itself. There is only very
small leaven of non workers now.
(S) Wrong again; there is no dealing what
ever with moonshiners, or illicit trading in
Rugby. 1t was effectually broken up long
ago.

Sedgemoor, or the shade of terra GOTTA

of the names were exactly reversed, but we
have no knowledge of "threc new mills being

The Two Editors.

There is Haytian proverb. says
Judge Tourgee, that I have sometimes
thought might well apply to our news
gatherer Il is rather a harsh one;
almost coarse. It says: eff you
send the buzzard to market. you will
have carrion for dinner" applause. J
l am afraid we have become in the
habit sometimes of sending the buzz
zard to market. / remember many
years ago my first association with
the public press. A man situated at
the head of the newspaper with which
| was connected, man eminent in
his community, man of high stand
ing in his church, of immaculate pri-
vate relations He had this one max
Inn which he gave to his reporters
which he pressed upon them: sMiss
anything which happens in the city
except bit of social scandal. That
! want. You may leave everything
else out if you give me that. That
makes my circulation" / have q
thousand times put beside him a
great, rough-worded and rough-hewn
printer-boy who rose to be editor,
with whom / was once associated. He
always said. "Never put a word of
dirt in my columns. (Applause.) .sIf
you must tell" he would say with an
oath, '.if you must tell mean fact,
tell it just as briefly as you cam
Don't let me have any OF the dirt
Because, he said, II do not mean to
be responsible for corrupting any
girls heart before she puts on long
dresses" It twas rudely stated. He
was a rude man. But have q thou

Typographical Errors.
Lake Charles Echo.l

Lake Charles Echo.l
The average reader is about as IA
miliar with the intricate workings OF
the mechanical department of q news
paper as he is with the inhabitants Of
the moon. And it is as amusing as it
is disgusting for one who has spent
years in learning the cart preservative
of all arts, to listen to the criticisms
of a person who is perhaps unable to
spell half the words in the English
language correctly, when an occasion
al typographical error creeps into the
paper. An ordinary printer win set
up in day from seven to eight thou
sand ems, in doing which he will
handle and place in position some
twenty thousand type. Is it any won
der that he occasionally misplaces q
letter. The best proof-reader in the
world is apt to overlook an error made
by the printer if for one moment he
allows his mind to wander from his
task. The New York Herald is sup
posed to be the most perfect in its
mechanical department Of any news
paper printed in this country. It is
supposed to have the most experienced
proof-readers that money can COM
mand; and yet there is never an issue
OF the paper but what one, and it
more frequently happens a half dozen,
typographical errors occur. Then, kind
reader, when you discover a misplaced
letter in your paper, or an occasional
misspelled word, don't imagine you
are hero. The printer knows they
are there; he knows that it is an utter
impossibility to weed them all out
And if he can't accomplish it, certain
ly-you cannot.
