Another large lot of the latest spring
goods for gentlemen's wear, has been re-
ceived by Frank Kerr, at his merchant
tailors emporium, on Main street. The
amount of business done by Mr.. Kerr is
really wonderful for country town, and
the reason for it is apparent He sells n
good article of material at low price, and
puts on it the best class of work. The re.
suit of this is that while he is crowded with
orders, other tailors are resting on their
oars.

LETTER..

Cleveland's letter Of resignation Of the
office Of Governor is almost an insult to
the people Of New York. 1t is curt and
rude. Here wa a man elected to the
Governors office Of the Empire State OF
the Union by the most unprecedented
majority ever given any man for that
position, laying down its duties without
a kindly word, or an expression OF apprc
citation Of the high honor that had been
done him.
We are quite i'll sympathy with Gov.
Cleveland's ideas that his official position
is n Of trust for the proper discharge
OF which he is responsible. But how
ever much he may treat it as a matter Of
business there are curtain amenities and
courtesies incident to the acceptance and
resignation Of such positions that ought
to be observed. At least one. need not
forgot common p%oliteness. The letter
was about in these words: TO the
General Assembly | hereby resign the
office Of Governor of the State of New
York.

STALE, FLAT AND CNPROFI-
Table.

The NeTbeI2V Observer seems to be
Of the opinion that the friends of the
university arc opposed to the common
schools. We are quite we'll aware that
the people in this County at least arc
weary Of the protitlcss discussion Of
this subject. Butt is Il matter Of justice
to the friends Of the University that
these reflections be not allowed to pass
unnoticcd.
We do not know how it may be else
where, but in this County those who are
classcd as friends of. the University are
strong supporters Of the common schools.
Some of them have given much Of their
time and attention to the furthrrancc Of
the interests Of these schools. 1t is
quite possible that the present system
does not altogether conform to their
views. But they are determined to sup
port it, till some better nc suggested.
When the Press naH Banner agitatcd
majority Of the "fricndS of the Uni
vcrSity" were opposed to its repeal, and
nre to-day opposed to it. We know full
well how honest and earnest is our
friend Of the Observer in these matters,
and wa are quite. sure that he has no
Interior object in view in discussing
them. But we have heard here so much
clap-trap on this subject and so much
strenuous effort has been made to put
the friends Of the University in false
positions in regard to the matter that we
have grown weary Of hearing the asscr-
ton that because one is in favor of
higher education oncis therefore opposed
to common schools and free education.
There are politicians among us who
catch ut every utterancc Of every man
to treasure up that upon which they
hope to hang in future some report to
his detraction and injury. 1t is thus
with the discussion of this University
question. Here it has dcgcneratcd to be
a factional fight, and the people arc
heartily weary of it, rs some will find.
