they found the skeleton of q man. As they
attempted to raise it the bones fell apart. In
the skull was a round hole apparently made
by a bullet. AS the remains were found
SEVERAL feet beneath the surface ofthe ground
at 8 spot where the old redoubt of Poulus
Hook was situated, it is supposed that the
skeleton is that of a revolutionary soldier
who fell in the defence of that forti6cahon
on August II, 1879. The skull will be pre-
served in the City Museum.

REPRESENTED to E. ID. AXE by the Pilot

the inscription on gold headed ebony cane
presented to the editor of the Ironton REG
ISTER on Christmas Eve. That is entirely
too much style for country editor, and II it
weren't for Ellis good horse sense we would
fear the consequences"
"We congratulate friend AXE, of the Iron
ton REGISTER, on the improvements he is
making in his office. He has just added a
| 'Fairhayen' cylinder press, and the first edl-
ton of the REGISTER which passed through
it came out as clean and bright as new pin.
As if the new press had given impetus to its
local and editorial departments, these, too,
are far above the average. Eli can get up
an interesting paper when he puts his mind
to it,"
1t shall be our ondeavor to make the REG
lister better paper than it was for few
weeks prior to the New Year; and kindly
word from source like the above, all may
believe, will not fail to encourage us as we
go along. AS for that cane, Bro. Fisher will
never know, perhaps, how much, way down
in our boots, it has elevated us. 1t is a big
mental strain to keep our neighbors from
knowing the height we hold ourselves above
them since the presentation.

A Whack at "Uncle Isaac.0

Ed. Register-Please allow friend of
Sunday Schools a reply to "Uncle Isaac," of
Des Are.
Now, "Uncle," we must beg to deny your
testimony and to say that we can prove the
contrary Of your statements beyond per-
adventure. Most men 'profess" to be
friends to temperance, but 'Uncle," friend
of temperance can not consistently defend
the cause of liquor. We doubt the mans
sincerity who says he is friend to temper
ance, but interposes thousand and one saw
ing clauses. Now your physicians must be
of that class who have wkiskey drug stores.
The papers and men who charge that pro-
hibition does not prohibit in Maine, are al
ways oppo sed to prohibition. The temper
ance folks claim that 1t is nearest prohibition
of any law now in force on the traffic. We
can overwhelmingly impeach the testimony
of your physicians. Twenty odd Of the most
renowned physicians OF New York combined
to investigate the subject few years ago,
and they say there is but little absolute use
for whiskey in medicine. You may say they
were friends to temperance. They are at
the head of the medical profession. The
three most noted physicians Of st. Louis say
whiskey has no known remedial properties
In consumption. 1t only hardens the lungs
and deadens pain. Cod liver oil is better
taken with warm coffee. But my dear Uncle,
the temperance folks make no war against
whiskey in medicine. II we can confine it to
that use we are content. 1t is the saloon,
that we oppose. Do yon claim the saloon as
beneficial agent? The friends of whiskey,
like those of all bad causes, try to justify it
by the bible. Now, "Uncle," you have not
the hardihood, have you, to say that the
spirit and teachings of the bible justify the
modern use OF whiskey? You know they
had no whiskey in early bible days. You
can't prove anything to the comfort Of whis-

ing an ordinance prohibiting fast driving!
We have seen horses running at break-neck
speed on the sidewalks for squares at time,
and men, women and children were made to
run for their lives. Several very narrow es-
capes were made during last summer and
fall, by ladies and children, and in one par
tlcular instance, it was "touch- andgo" for
a child on the sidewalk between Rutsch-
mans and Carriers. If there can be moth
Ing done to protect ourselves against such a
dangerous nuisance, why, we must grin and
bear it, We presume; for the people who
thus turn their stock out to make reprisals
from the public-at-large, will scarcely have
such considerations for their neighbours well
fare as will induce them to restrain their
quadrupeds. 1t certainly appears as though
some people are happy only in proportion to
their ability to annoy and persecute. Iron
ton does not contain many such; but those
we have appear resolved to Ego the whole

gained, when there is nothing else Of more
| importance concerning our own individual
wellbeing, which demands attention. On
the contrary, the pupil should devote his
entire time and attention to his studies, il he
would thoroughly prepare himself for the
future business of life. 1t is impossible for
pupils to make any Announcements in their
studies when attending school only one, two
or three days in the week. Such pupils
would be better OF at home; for every lesson
rccited prepares the pupil for the next, and
he who fails to receive the proper instruc-
ton upon each lesson passed over by the
class, will be soon himself unable to proceed
further, and will be compelled to commence
again, with some smaller class, only to fail
again. and fall back in the same manner as
before. So time goes on, the school closes,
and he finds himself no further advanced
than he was on the first day of the term.
He Is like the horse on the tread wheei-he
gropes blindly on, and never finds himself
any higher. Now whose fault is this? Not
the teachers, for he has done all he could
for the unfortunate pupil. We as teachers,
cannot give special instruction. II this fault
is corrected, bv parents and patrons, we can
promise pleasant and profitable school.
During the present term, will expect TO
grade very accurately, and tardy and absent
marks will bring the average grade low, as
was the case with some of the most studious
and brilliant pupils last term. REGULATIONS,
declarations and compositions will be re-
quired by the pupils attending the school,
Proper training in this work is an excellent
recreation and education.
