The commencement sermon before the
young ladies of the C. F. C. was preached on
Sabbath morning, u 7, by Rev. W. T.
Boiling. of Palmyra, Mo. His text was.
''Take heed of thyself." The large church
building was crowded 10 the uttermost by
an audience of intelligent and cultivated peo-
pie. The sermon was q mastery production,
grand in thought, unanswerable in argument
and most %eloQuently delivered. The sermon
in the evening was preached by the Rev. j.
W. Carpenter Of Slater. His subject was,
'Christ and the Atonement"-an old theme,
but the grandest known to man. The SER
vices, morning and evening, were profitable
to all whose fortune it was to be present.
The former loved pastor of the church at
this place, Rev. George William Walker, was
present, having temporary charge OF the sta
ton in the absence of the regular pastor.

ed condition of our columns. Its author In
his structures upon the enumeration of school
children in this county would not have said
what he did regarding the Lexington district
had he known the result of the recent enum-
Grafton, and he writes us this note:-"If you
see fit to publish my communication, please
do me the justice, also a kindness, to show
that the careful enlistment Of pupils in Lex
ington not only reached but exceeded the
school population, that the district, in &C
cOrdance with my calculation, should have
and increased the income Of the district from
state, county aud township funds by over
$780," The showing for Lexington district
is even better than we made it appear, as by
a corrected list. Mr.. j. A. Price, the enum.
orator, finds that there are, SIS white males,
6l4 white females, 1892; 236 colored males,
220 colOred females, 1855; or a grand total OF
1883 children of school age in the district
being a gain of 81 over last year, instead of s
gain of 81 as was stated.

or two as well as the more self-assertivt
moderns. At any rate, we find that theil
heads were level on the strawberry ques
ton. In this region and at this date straw
berries are more plentiful than they hav,
ever been before. Some of our small fruil
culturists have sold as high as fifty gallon
per day, and at very high prices. Strawber
ries were first sold as hig as 80 cents pei
gallon. and good berries have not sold, up t.
this time, at less than 40 cents, while in tn
cities they have for some time been selling q
from % cents down. This goes to sustain
