Grange Matters.
HALL OF FAIRvIEw, P. OF H,
February Goth, 1882.

Mr.. Editor. We suppose our other
article in regard tothe installation of
officers, found its way into the waste
basket, but we are not discouraged
and will try it again. Some Of our
members felt q little disappointed,
as we had promised them that it
would be published in your valuable
paper. Since our installation our
Grange has been prospecting. We
have seven candidates ready to be in.
structed at our next meeting, and
eight others in the hands of the
proper committees. At the last
meeting the Grange appointed two
correspondents, and no doubt your
many readers will occasionally hear
something of the Grange in the flu.
ture, if you will be kind enough to
publish their articles. In view Of
the high price of all kinds Of farm
products, and the increase in popu-
lation, your readers, perhaps, begin
to realize the need Of an increase Of
those productions. Once physical
power almost alone was sufficient TO
produce enough; but now the farmers
are beginning to find they need some
mental training, also. A well train
ed brain power is neededlon the farm
as well as in any other profession, to
make tia success; and the Grange
proposes to furnish that training for
all farmers, who will avail them.
selves of the opportunity. Farmers,
the Grange does not need your assist.
ance as much as you need the assist
ance of the Grange, to help you in
the cultivation of the soil, and to de.
velop better manhood and woman
hood among the farmers of our
country. j. P, P, DEPUTY.

On Tuesday, February 14th, the
writer Of this had a very enjoyable

and gentlemen by invitation were
assembled. The kind hostess, togeth.

Of the writer Of this some six years
ago., and her son Charles and his es-
timable lady, did all in their power
to make the occasion one Of real en-.
joyment, and so well did they succeed
that all, and especially the old teach.
er, will have cause to remember it as
u bright oasis in the journey of life,
at which friends, parent, children
and teacher passed, and drank from
the fountain of enjoyment and pleas,
ure. AT an early hour sweet music
was heard echoing and ro.echoing
through the hcspitable building, and
merry couples were soon engaged in
the joyous and with the exception Of
a short time for refreshments was
kept up until twelve o'clock, when
the company dispersed, each going to
their respective home with kind
wishes for those who had furnished
them with SO much enjoyment; the
writer of this tripped the light fan
tastic like boy of sixteen, and often
gave you, Mr.. Editor, a passing
thought.
On February 22d, the first term Of
Pine Grove School, in Sub. District
No. 2, in Clendinen, came to a close
and was celebrated by parents, schol-
airs and teacher, by having an old.
fashioned moasses stew Cor taffy pull
ing) which was enjoyed by all, espec-
tally the little ones, who could not be
alectionately called honey upon that
occasion, for they were lasscs andtafy
all otter.
The writer Of this, after the cele-
bration, started off on a visiting tour
and called upon several teachers and
visited several schools. He tried to
pass himself off as County superin-
tendent, but was informed that he
was too well known and that they
did not propose taking any substitute
for the Original. "a word to the
wise should be sufficient"
A call at Mr.. William Blaine's
school was pleasant to your cores
pondent, because he and his pupils
were once pupils of the writer of this.
1t was noon when l was there, and
teacher and scholars gave the old pre-
ceptor hearty welcome, and said
they would show their appreciation
by weighing the school on pair of
scales near the school house, provid-
ed the teacher, who had a "better
half" did not weigh with them, as
they wanted their weight to show
their sympathy for their old bachelor
teacher. The weight was twenty
five hundred.
