and the workings of the instrument sue
cessful. The manner of The reproduction
of sound by the instrument, although
simple to the eye, is of wonderful ma
ture The DIR. gave few remarks upon
the Philosophy of Sound aud its applica-
ton to the Phoncgraph, and then recited
several well-known verses, sang a few
tunes, &C., in the mouthpiece of the in
strument which were reproduced and
caused much laughter, and were highly
entertaining and amusing to the audience
The singing school held every Friday
evening is largely attended and seems to
command great interest in the hearts of
the young people who attend it.
We are sorry to learn that our friend
and esteemed cotemporary, g Avis, has
been confined to the house for several
days by sickness. We hops he may soon
recover and enjoy the halmy days that
are row greeting us.
The roads grew rapidly better during
the latter part of last week. The brisk
and warm days of Friday and Saturday
dried up the mud very fast.
Owing to small attendance at the
meeting of the debating society last even
ing, the question arranged for the evening
was not discussed

While in tussle tcaused by dispute),
with noted talk-estrian of our town, and
while throwing his fsts with power
equal to that of Sullivan or Ryan, he &C.
cidentally struck one of his hands against
/ the edge of his work bench and unfor-
tunately broke one of the bones of it. He
| is now obliged to travel our streets with
his hand bandaged and hanging useless
| by his side. This wonderful talk estrian
spoken Of, now boasts Of his victory and
although receiving several scratches and
nearly in need of I" tin ear, feels
proud of n supposed victory, and describes
ia the language of a poet and with tongue
! "too numerous to MENTION the sad and
mournful scenes of the day. On the
other hand, Mr.. G.. is kept busy from
early morn till night describing the scenes
of the disaster and portraying the manner
in which he led "the other fellow !"

them both upon their fortunate escape
from the jaws of death.

who travel it instead of waiting several
minutes to discover some means to get
across the road without getting muddy,
as they formerly did, now walk straight
across and give praise to the man who

those who desire and expect an election
to some office land there are plenty of
them, are becoming exceeding friendly
and aesthetic. AS they meet their fellow
men along the street they make bow as

his business affairs, and are exceedingly
anxious to assist him in any way and in
any matter possible. This at first startles
some people who wonder at the sudden

for moment, they are impressed with
the fact that election is near at hand and
votes are in demand. These actions are
more particularly noticed at the present
time from the fact that from this town.
ship man is to be selected this coming
Fall as nominee Of the Democratic party
of this district for Assembly IL is esti-
are just 40 candidates already with a
possible So Each Of these persons, it is
said, are certain of victory, but are con-
tinuing the battle of hand-shaking, 'yes"
and "no on all subjects, and an occa-
sional beer Some think the best
representative would be in the person of
our noted talk-estrian alluded to in
another item. He possesses many opin-
ions upon all subjects and has an advan-
tage over our present and former repre-
sentatives, in not being afraid or back
ward in declaring that opinion. He
would certainly make an excellent COL
league or opponent of McAdoo, the noted
babbler of the present Legislature. At
present each candidate is highly elated
over his own individual chance, and is
wild and frenzied with delight, and if
matters continue with the usual progress,
we may expect at the caucus for selecting
a nominee for Assembly, an experience
similar to that Of last Fall, which gave to
our township the aprellation of Sour

The meeting of the Mite Society will be
held at the home of David Williamson,
Thursday evening Of this week. Go and
enjoy the evening and see your friends
and neighbors and with a determination
that you will have a good time and help
others to enjoy the same. TIE hat
will be passed at the usual hour.
