Tie 0ld.time FIREMAN. of New York.

There was many man worth 81, 000,-
coo, many man of high social, com
mercial, or political position, who wait
ed Monday patiently for three hours
with the one purpose-to see the parade
OF the old Volunteer Fire department.
Not citizen of New York, whose locks
are grizzling or thinning in middle age,
fails to remember the swing, the elan,
the Sallusness" (if the word may be
allowed that made part of the active
life OF the city before the war, and not
one forgets that the fire laddie" of
twenty-five years ago was the typical
rough and ready" and at once the
typical good citizen of the town.
Memories of riots in the Bowery tradi-
tons Of the old-time feuds that were
settl, d or kept alive by the battles,
from which tho old "Leatherhead" po-

recollections of the gallantry and hero
ism of the red-shirted boys who, with
out pay or reward, fought fire and
faced death in manly contempt for peril
whenever the call to duty came-all
these were stirred in the minds of the
men who stood yesterday in the pelting
rain waiting for the fremen to 20 by

MOuut Hone.

We had intended to spend portion
of to-day in search after the odds and
ends of news items for THE HERALD,
but were prevented by bad weather, so
we jot down the little scraps that have
come to us through the usual channel.
viz: Rumor.
On Wednesday last, the 18th inst. /.
Archie Austin, formerly of our town,
but now of Sioux City. Iowa, and Miss
Katie Spraggon of Millville, made a
visit to the parsonage at Patch Grove,
where Elder Simms pronounced them
one. The young couple will leave soon
for their western home. May success
attend them.
James McCloskey. of Lancaster, has
purchased the Plummer farm in Mount
Hope. Here's hearty welcome, jim;
come right along.
j. I. Crubaugh has purchased the
Will Lewis farm and will remain on it.
So Willie is not quite ready to go to
housekeeping.
Charles Simpson has just added
another quarter section to his already
large farm in our town. This last pur-
chase was made of William Seaman.
Somebody is threatened with brand
new son-in-law; wonder if that disease
is contagious.
And just now comes floating on the
breeze the report that johnson easier,
one of the oldest citizens of this section
of the country, has sold his fine farm in
our town, and that ID. Mulrooney is the
lucky purchaser; $500 is said to be
the consideration, and cheap as dirt at
that figure.
Git, Don Caesar, with your Boscobel
and your sister-in-law Just hold your
breath bit till we get our railroad and
then We'll trot out Mount Hope and our
mother-in-law. G.. o. NJ.

Sale Day at Fennimore.

The inauguration of monthly Sale
Day, at Fennimore, was had on Satur-
day, March Sth. Owing to the terrible
storm which ragged nearly all day, the
sale was not started until about four
o'clock in the afternoons; but even at
that late hour considerable property
changed hands. The business men of
Fennimore are personally engaged in
making Sale Day a prominent feature of
their village, a committee of whom has
been selected to see that the matter is
carried out on strict business principles.
Messrs. C. p. Him, Elias Thompson and
VIM. Marsden are the gentlemen who
compose the committee, and no one will
say but that they will bring the Fenni-
more Sale Day up to a point of perfec-
ton such as it deserves. Hereafter the
committee will see that every article to
be offered for sale is properly advertised,
and for that purpose have secured space
in the columns of THE HERALD. Not
withstanding the disagreeable weather
of Saturday, large crowd of people
were in Fennimore, among them prom
inent stock men of the county. Sur
rounded by as ''fne country as lies out
DOORS" there is nothing that will add
more to the business of Fennimore than
these monthly sales.

Religious Notes.

Among the stained glass windows
that have arrived from France for St.
Johns Church, in the City of Washing
ton, is one ordered by President Arthur,
as memorial to his deceased wife.
The Atlantic Congregational church
at ST. Paul, Rev. E. H. Volars, pastor,
has just passed through a stirring re-
vival, which has resulted in between
twenty-five and thirty hopeful CONVEX
sions.
The Congregationalists have erected
one hundred and fifty-eight new
churches during the past year, thiIty-
one of them being in Dakota This is
an increase of fifty-three over the pre-
vious year.
The Rev. DR.. Newman in q recent
sermon presented this challenge: 'sShow
me the infidel or man of depraved life
who has ever produced a great mechani-
cal invention or made great scientific
discovery. | challenge you to do so. l
throw down the gauntlet before you"
If Christian civilization has done so
little, and men of ''liberar' views ii, e.
infidels) have done so much for the
u.
1T should be easy to cover the Doctor
with confusion; but we believe that no
one has yet ventured into the arena.
When Christianity first began, with
the exception of the Jews, the world
was ignorant of the true God. 1t was
almost wholly given to the worship of
idols. Christianity is less than 1900
years old. Its progress in that period
a short period in the life of the human
lows: Starting with the day of Pente-
cost, $500; end of first century, $780,
O00; reign of Constantine. 10000, 600:
eight century, 30.000,0 900; Reformation,
100, 1000, 900; in 1888. $50, 900. These
figures comprehend the population of
the socalled Christian nations. MANY
are not personally believers, but the
once-universal idolatry has been des-
troyed by Christianity. The progress
OF the latter has been amazing, and
never so rapid as now.

SOWING WHEAT.-There are many
opinions regarding the outcome of
wheat crop with early or late sowing.
On the 2nd day of May, 1866, Messrs.
John Monteith and G.. ID. Smith, Fenni-
more farmers, sowed their wheat and
the yield was a good one. The year
previous they sowed their wheat on the
4th day of March, and they report that
the yield was the best ever harvested
on their farms. Here we have the re-
cord rs given by two well known farm
ers of an early and late sowing. The
early sown crop being the best This
year-well, wait until seeding time
comes, and then it will be time to say
what the season will be.
