two, We are thankful to our Father in
Heaven, for this religious property in our
midst and vicinity. I. d. |.

From Pleasant Township.

ED. NORTHWEST PLEASE allow us a
small space in your valuable paper in or
der to give you and your readers very
limited account of the closing exercises of
the school in Sub. Dist. No. 7, of Pleasant
tp., on March IL, it being the last day of
the winter term.
Long before nine o'clock the school room
was filled with the neatly dressed schol-
ars, besides goodly number from neigh
boring districts and interested ladies and
gentlemen. The forepart of the day was
devoted to a general review of studies
persued during the winter, and to select
exercises in reading in concert by classes,
which last was performed especially by
the more advanced classes, in a manner
giving credit to both teacher and pupils,
and showed that good reading can be
heard even in country school.
After recess the recitations of memo
rized selectionsbegan. Little Katie Linn
back leading with "The Childrens'
Friend" and followed by the smaller pu-
pills each with its piece. At the close each
was greeted with applause. Miss Rosily
Westrick then recited "The Charge of the
Light Brigade" in manner that showed
she possessed rare powers in the art of
elocution for one OF her years. Misses L..
A. M. Schwab and Clara E. Westrick gave
J. G. Saxe's "Puzzled Census Taker."
Lizzie Okely and Katie Limback recited
"The Child's Dream of Heaven" and the
mothers Interpretation of the same.
Next appeared Master D. 1. Limback, M.
Kinstle and George Gautheir in a short
dramatic role, "In Court" in which each
acted his part admirably. The grave and
dignified Judge, represented by d. l..
Limback, the very oficious Clerk Of
Court, represented by G. Gautheir, and
the droll character of the witness, repre-
sented by M. Kinstle. Last, but not least,
came J. +. Kinstle and Master o. r. A..
Schwab, in 1.-THE Charcoal Seller" fol-
lowed by deafening roars of applause at
the conclusion of each piece.
After few brief remarks by the teacher
to his pupils upon the subject of "home
study, during the long vacation, school
was dismissed, and all wended their. way
homeward, we'll convinced that the last
day of school was never passed so pleas
antly in Sub. Dist. No. Take it all in
all, this is the model school of our town
ship, as far as order in and out of the
school-room, at least, and the good be-
havior of the pupils are concerned. This
is in one way due to the school being for
the last six years under one Board of Di-
rectors, and under the control of the same
teacher. What it stands in need of yet, is
a little more interest in the parents to be
manifested by sending their children more
regularly, but we hope that this defect
will also soon disappear.

Adams Fall.

Ever since Adams fall, which sub
jected human nature to diseases of the
flesh, there has been a demand for
blood purifier. We all realize the fact
that upon the purity and vitality of the
blood depend the health and vigor of
the whole system, and that disease of
various kinds is often only a sign that
nature is trying to remove the disturb
ing cause; hence a reliable blood puri-
fer is of greater importance to the peo-
pie than is generally supposed. We are
pleased to say that Hoods Sarsaparilla
bears unmistakable proof of being this
sort of a medicine, and we think it wor-
thy trial. feb14-1m

The Mexican Veterans to be PEN
stoned.

Our Washington correspondent says:
The bill pensioning Mexican veterans
finally passed the House, although it was
stated that only 1000 of those who
fought in Mexico were from the North
ern States, and that of the 10000 from
the South 10000 served afterwards in
the Confederate army, so this was in
one sense bill to pension rebel soldiers.
The bill was passed by large majority,
and the Southern Congressman are
highly gratified. They say that, while
their section was suffering from the eff
fects of the war, when ruined houses had
not been rebuilt, and when broken for
tunes and blasted lives We're more COM
mon than prosperity and happiness, the
Southern people, through their agents
in Congress, have quietly voted to tax
all they possess, or might procure, in or
der to surround the Union soldiers with
