FALLS VILLAGE.

Schools in town were out Friday for vacation of two weeks. The school in this district (Beebe Hill has been taught by Miss Minnie Jacobi to the satisfaction of all, we believe.
 Mir H. c. Crandall, having more time than Is necessary to attend to the post office, has added to his business fine ten-cent counter, and good bargains can be had by purchasing, as many articles that cost four times as much in some stores. His show cases are filled with good stock of the finest candies and nuts of all varieties, and last and least chewing gum. We are not at liberty to state it, put judging from the many va- rieties we guess he is making Q speciality in this particular branch of trade and some good prizes have been drawn by investors in the article. He thinks no one will accuse him of running opposi- ton in this particular branch. It re- minds us of the saying that certain girls "dont know enough to chew gum" We have none of that kind in this place.
 While we, as a community, are small numerically speaking, yet considering the ratio of the inhabitants there is as much life and animation as to compare favorably with the larger "burgs," for example; George Bishop, who has made the adjoining state his headquarters for special reasons the past two years, came home on little picnic excursion of his own lately, and of which he was cap tain and engineer. He exercised his talent in vocalization, and to wind up with the visit he had little set-to, be- ing little of his base, and after he had choked the old man 8 while he went to Harrison Hart's and there wound up the jubilee.
 Among the hitherto unwritten thrill ling incidents which our citizens feel much interested in occurred not long since between well-known citizen and another not so well known. The we'll known bought 8 quantity of oats and the other man carried him double the amount ordered and the buyer was re- luctant to take so many. Don Carlos" took off his coat and Belche-d forth language not found in modern diction- aries aNd made some artistic man9uvres which were not gratifying to 8 superior's ear, he not caring to have such comph- remarks made to his face, as it stirs up the ideas and provokes sort of qualmishness. The result was the well-known citizen being on his own premises began to argue the case with him by Siding up to him to Reed 8 clause of the moral law in the shape of a few lusty blows with 8 strong horse whip and the other man Belche-d no more incantations, but went on his way a saddsr but wiser man.

 The object of this agency is to place before the reading community the lowest rates by which periodicals may be ob- tained. By continually sending clubs of subscribers to these newspapers and magazines, we are able to obtain large commissions, the largest part of which we give to the subscribers, to induce them to patronize us, retaining only such an amount as will give us a profit of few cents on each periodical ordered. Single subscriptions can therefore be taken at club rates and forwarded the same day to publishers. No more wait ing to form clubs.
 We have recently purchased and add ed to our business the subscription list which Mir. Bartholomew had charge of at Canaan, Ct., and hope, by fair dealing and lowest living rates, to retain all his customers.
 In ordering several periodicals of us at time you have only one letter to write, one money order to pay for, and you get them all at club rates, making quite a saving of time, labor and money.

SEE CAN NEVER BE 4 NAN.

She can npreach the Gospel
Asan eminent divine,
Eloqueutly argue
And with legal talent shine.
She can write prescriptions
And the tongue correctly scsn,
But cruel fate decrees-
She can never be o man.
She can WELD the ballot
For party's candidate,
Emulate the smoker,
And can quaff the cup till late.
She can play at billiards
And can flourish q rattan,
But struggle as she will,
She can never be man.
Sac can run at races,
Winning easily the prize,
Take a course at college,
And to highest standing rise.
She can act as men do
Even dress without ban;
But as long as time endures
She can never be man.
