It comes to our ears almost daily that the ST. JOHNS HERALD fails to arraign the persons charged with, or suspected of, crime in this county, or. neglects, to let tn: world know that the villainy of cei tain bad men is destroying ourcredit, robbing the taxpayers and fattening on their iIlgotten gains, and that the people at large are crying for relief. Now, in all candor, let us make this reply to each and every one of the gentlemen who fail to see in the ST. JOHNS HERALD the office which solely applies to the functions of a legally organized court: of
 aw, we cannot try cases of the, char acter which they mention; courts have been established for that purpose; when the law gets through with the derilicts, we are justified in criticising to any ex- tent for the benefit of the community at large the effects of good govern ment and righteousness of the laws made to punish crimes, and give warn ing to those who hold positions of honor, trust or profit tha: in governments oi the people, for the people, and by the people," justice will sooner or later overtake the violator, or violators, of it's laws, and certain punishment fol- low as the only remedy for it's evils and the only method by which the govern ment CT it's peace can be maintained.
 Our patrons, and all of our readers, must not always expect to find in an editorial chair seer; must not think that he IS gifted beyond the ordinary race of reasonably educated men, or that he is possessed of toreknowledge and can see through the misty future and divine with certainty that which cannot be comprehended by ordinary mortals. Be not deceived, good friends. Editors do not know much, if any, more than people of other trades or profess sions; they tell what they "know" daily or weekly, and therein differ, but that is all. They have no authority un- der the law to convict before trial, and less even before a verdict, any nor than has jury or a judge, and it is a foolhardy editor who will undertake it.
 Now to the point, which we make di- rect to those who criticise us: Do you, gentlemen, perform all your public duty? How many men who would arraign the editor for a non-performance of his off, cial duty, as it were, for not blazing be- fore the world things he knows nothing of, have ever been to his office with the information that frauds, are rampant and villainy everywhere prevails? Not one. And we venture the assertion that if one ever does pluck up courage to come he will leave with the stern in- junction on us not to mention his name in connection with the ''facts" he would have us make public.
 Now, gentlemen, one and all, bring on your grievances; give US yoar names

'If there is another village in this
or any other state that can show as
many hale and hearty residents that
are sc years old and upward as Forest
vile, Chautauqua county, can, it can
climb right up to the top notch Of
fame at once by troting them out"
said Deacon Ezra Bent, the ice man.
"Why, a man in Forestville who
can't remember things that happen
ed at least seventy-five years ago is
looked upon as nothing more than
kid by those who can. Now, there's
Walter Libby, for instance. He is 50,
and was a married man when the war
of 1912 broke out. He volunteered
and fought all through it. His second
wife is living at sc. He has ncighbors
Nathan Hopper, who is 80; Seth Eng
lish, lively boy of SO; John Bartoo,
who recently passed his Goth birthday;
James Battles, only few days young
er than John Bartoo, and Samuel Bar
too, who is only 81, all of them vete-
rams of the war of 1912.
"Then in a jaunt about the village
you will have no trouble in seeing and
hearing n crowd OF lusty veterans such
as Joseph Battles. who has put 81
years behind him; Noah Hike, with
good memory at So; James Evart,
who, at sc, can beat the county pitch
ing quoits; Levi Parsons. who has
beaten three score and ten by fifteen
years; A. M. Huyck, year older than
his neighbor Parsons; John Little,
Joseph Rockwell, and ID. l.. Jenney,
each over 80. and Stephen M. Ball, 81,
Balls mother lived to be LOG.
"Thesc are some of the old-time
male residents of Forestville, but If
anyone wanted to he could get up
tea-party and invite about dozen
ladies whose great-great-grandchild-
rem would populate a good-sized viii
lage. There is the widow White, who
is Sc; Aunt Betsey Manley, "a; James
Evart's wife Jeanette, 82: Frances
Pope, Sc: Dorcas Mckee, 88; the wild
ow Brownell, Sc; Aunt Sophia Null

SING AND BE GLAD.

Sing and be glad, o thou wheeling EARTH
Creation Is old and gray;
But starbeams shine on a second birth
And this is our Easter dayl
Lift up thy head and be glad o EARTH
Thy tears and sorrowng cease
A fountain hath sprung In the deserts dearth
And passionate pain hath peace
All drear Is the charnel-honse of sin,
Dreary and cold alway
But pierced hand lets the angels In,
And the stone hath been rolled away.
The song goes up and the song comes down
The earth and the sky are faiu,
And the blended note Is a cross and crown,
And Paradise won again.
Through the throbbing psalm, In undertone,
/ hear one clear voice Sing,
And OF all hear but His alone:
"Behold, am crowned kingl
81 have conquer death and sting of death
BY the cross I'm otherwise;
And thou poor Earth that tiayalleth,
say unto thee, arise"
Sing and be glad, o thou wheeling Earthi

But starbesms shine on second birth,
And this is our Easter day.
