HIS FIRST DAY AT SARATOGA.

Saratoga was new idea to him. 1t was 30
jolly to go from spring to spring and take
drink of the water of each. No two of the
springs tasted alike. There are about forty
springs at Saratoga. After tasting nearly half
ofthese, he began to have queer feeling inside
him. After spending most Of the day
in this way, he went to bed. 1t seemed as
II all the ~ater-works of the lower regions
were raising riot within him. After several
hours OF agony, he thought of Perry Davis's
Pain Killer. 1t gave him relief aud comfort,
and charmed him to sleep.

If the fair lace of violets should perish
Before another springtime had its birth,
Could all the costly blooms that florists cherish
Bring back its April beauty to the earth?
And 90 with souls we lcye-they pass and leave Us;
Time teaches patience at a bitter cost;
Yet all the new loves which the years may give US
Fill not the hsart-place aching fer the lost.
God does not send us strange flowers every year;
When the spring winds blow Ger the pleasant
places,
The same dear things lift up the same fair
The violet is here.
1t all comes back-the edor grace and hue;
Each sweet relation OF its life repeated;
Nothing is lost; ne looking-tor is cheated;
Ii Is the thing we knew.
So after the death winter ii will be;
God win not put strange sights in heavenly places;
The old love will look out from the old faces
veilchen, shall have thee.

Southern Alu mni Reunion.

The fifth annual reunion of the Southern
Alumni Association of Pennsylvania College
was held In the Lutheran church of this
place, Thursday evening Nov. IS. Only a
few members were present, which may be
accounted for by the selection Of time for
the meeting when many were professionally
or otherwise engaged. Some Of our clergy
men went to the Western Conference which
assembled this week, others, not wishing to
visit your town twice within week, decid-
ed to attend the Middle Conference instead
of the reunion and still others were render
ing official service at weddings, which could
not possibly be postponed. Our lawyers
were at court and our physicians, finding
many people sick at this time when COM
munties are usually in distressingly health
full condition, regretted that they could not
come. No men are buster than these sent
from Penna College. Fortunate is the col
lege having among her sons so many diligent
workers III the various callings.
The association elected the following Of
ficers President, Rev. G. s. Albert of Balti-

SabiIl0syille Letter.

Ifyou have no objection, I will give a
blast or two in your CLARION but whether
its notes will be clear and shrill is for your
readers to tell To write an interesting let
ter from mountain village (where all is
quiet) seems to be task to one who seldom
writes but funny things happen sometimes
and that in mountain village after an cleo
ton.
We only have the two parties here and
they are "straight-out" one thing or the
other, and what they have to say, they say,
and that is the end of it. But some things
people say never end and a couple of our
citizens belive it One of our most promi-
nent citizens on hearing the news of the
election went down street, talking to him
self when all a sudden he stopped and hal
looed glory! We have got four of them,'
another one went to the barn and cried and
said my friends on both sides are all beat"
so you see that while some felt glorious 9TH
ers felt sad.
A couple Sunday evenings since, two COM
panics under the command of Capt" E. Lidie
of Mechanicstown and Capt" Vnntz Of

beginning at the U. b. church, after the
smoke had cleared away, Capt" Lidie was
captured and lodged in Fort Barrick and at
present writing the upper commander has
not been caught.
Sabillasville always has its share of Big
Hogs and quite number are dying with the

We have had numerous callers during the
past week, many of whom came with the ex-
pressed purpose of congratulating us upon
the improvement made In THE CLARION !;
others came to view the office and large
number handed US in the names of new sub.
scribers while still others gave US names of
friends residing at distance who, they
thought, would become subscribers in case a
sample copy was sent them. In all we are
gratified at the interest manifested in the
success of our new paper and trust that it
may not abate until we have reached the
summit of our ambition in the matter of cir
culation. 1t may not be proper that we
should state the exact figure that will crown
that apex, as 1t might be deemed to be too
high and that we are becoming rather
"bumptious" for a village newspaper, but on
that very figure we I've our eye and along
the scores and hundreds that lead thereto,
we shall halt only to say Excelsior

The foregoing statements discloses the fact
that the Public Schools received for their
support last year from State and county, but
$51 $685. Is to educate ten thousands chidron,
viz: State tax, while schools, $19,807 49,;
State tax colored schools, 81, 4SS.2S. County
tax, % 900 ; free school fund, State, $3,5S7aS
total, $51 ,s9S15. Will any intelligent mani
say this is sufficient? The additional ro-
ceipts we're from the balance carried over
from last year, the sale Of Old school-house
sites, old material, &C., and from notes d
counted in Central NATIONAL Bank.
The book fees and amount received from
books soil, are collected wholly from the
patrons of the schools; and Us these meet
fully the amount spent annually to supply
the schools with books and stationery, ahe
taxpayers who do not patronizc the pubic
schools, pay nothing towards SUPPLYING
books and stationery to the INDECENT pupils
in Frederick county. Hence, all the money
received from the State and county is used
to tfefray the actual running expenses of the
schools Of the county.
1t has been alleged by some, that there are
too many schools in the county. This form
of fault finding is INDUCED in By two, classes
of persons: First, those who are entirely ig.
norant in the premises, and, second, by q
class of politicians who by m;ssatcmams
and misrepresentation, are willing to impair
the efficiency Of our public schools, in ortler
to advance their individual interests. The
following will throw some light upon this
point:
There were enrolled in the public schools
Of the county last year 9,915 pupils, with an
average attendance of ., $751; The total muir
Der of different teachers employed WAS 1Ss,
or an average of 1871, for the entire year, Civ
ing an a,elasc cn. ,,,.,.,.nt ii pupils to zach
teacher white and colored, including assist
ants of 54S, and an average daily attendance
to each teacher during the entire year, of2S6
Is the charge referred to above sustained by
these figures? Truth and honesty demand
of the man who makes such charge, that he
shall appear before the School Board with
petition praying that the school of his immc-
diate ncighborhood be discontinued Ii he
be unwilling to this, it is evident he wishes
to deprive other communities of the adEan-
tages he himself enjoys at public expense
and is therefore neither honest nor just in
his criticism.

Double Pipe Creek Letter.

As have not seen nor heard from Quill
for some time naturally suppose he must
be dead and presume the readers Of the
CLARION have come to the same conclusion
and probably more they may think our lit
tie villagc:has sunken into obscurity, but
such we are glad to say is not the case, 1t
still stands and in the same place. Though
about this time judging from the amount Of
rain we are having we have no assurance
of how long we may stay, Us we are liable TO
be washed away at any time. The great
amount Of rainy weather for the last month
has thrown the farmers back with their fall
work to some extent, but withal the usual
average of grain was sown and is looking
unusually well for this time, and all enter
prsing farmers are well on with husking
corn which by the way is very good crop
generally, much better than last years crop,
but we hear some complaint Of soft corn
though none worth speaking of in the i'm
mediate vicinity of D P G. Quite number
of our farmers are or will shortly engage in
the milk business or shipping milk to BALTIC,
which makes cows in demand and all seem
willing to give good round price for good
COW, we would advise those having COWS for
sale to advertise in the CLARION as all our
milk men get it or see it in some way.
Report says two Of D P G young folks
have gone over" on the married list. The
report in one instance is known to be cor
rect whilst the other like the election returns
is "in doubt" Mr. Lewis Cash Of near this
place, lost a valuable COW few days ago
from "hollow horn"
Mr. Winfield Filler also of near here lost a
valuable horse from unknown causes.
Double Pipe Creek was made quite must
cal on Saturday evening last, the event be-
ing the arrival of Mr. Grayson Fogle and his
BRIDE they were met at the depot by w II
Fogle brother of the groom, and taken to
his residence in this place. where supper was
prepared, and in due time the D p G tin pan
brigade put in an appearance and rendered
some of their choicest music, but with little
effect as the happy pair seemed to enjoy It,
Grace please accept our best wishes for o
prosperous and happy future.
Now we will say to the CLARION If we
have written too much nonsense don't pub
lish it, if not enough say nothing about it
and If you find Quill any place up there in
the mountains let me hear from him.
