Which leaves a. stated, a balance

In personal letter = his member
ship the pastor sets forth The above
standing, and then very correctly
adds:
1T is very desirable that this
amount be raised as all the bills are
just ones, and should be paid; and it
is important to the interests of the
Society that it BE- freed from debt.
For the last two or three years the
financial burdens of the Society, OH
account of building the church, have
been heavy and It's members and
friends have been liberal in its sup
port, but we believe the above
amount, necessary to meet cur obliga-
tions, can be raised without Cypress
ing any one # LII help according as

not hore to receive your cooperation

TaVi= Financial standing.

Rev Mr. Haw and the trustees Of
the NJ. L. Church have prepared a
statement showing the financial con
dition Of that church at the present
time, or the church year ending Sep
TENDER Both, which, under the circum-
stances should be giytn To the public,
and for two reasons, VIZ: that those
who have already given Of their sub
stance to the support of that church
may know where the money has gone,
and, secondly, because it is absolutely
necessary that that society must have
further assistance from those not OF is
actual membership or the church
must be closed next year. In aldi-
ton to the sum shown here, we will
owe December 31st, next, 500. of the
principal OF the Church Extension
loan, making in point Of fact, total
indebtedness to be paid off this month
and before January first next. Of
Sj46.27, or, say, 500. in round mum
bers. To meet this Indebtedness we
have in sight about 500. which will
leave $50 to be provided for
The great burden Of the church has
fallen, thus far, upon few persons.
The church structure, as public
building, is Il credit to the town. and
we do not think the business men Of
the town desire, or will allow is doors
to be closed next year fer the want of
Il little financial assistance at this
time, but the lew who have kept it
alive thus far feel that they cannot
alone carry the burden longer.

That you would better lay in a

That we yearn for more pleasant

That Marshall Jacobs did not be-

Clinton Matters.

FAIRvIEw, March 16.-The Wood
land school taught by c. G. Howell
closed last Wednesday with literary
performance at night, consisting of
orations, declamations, &c. The
pieces were well committed and well
rendered. The performance by w.
G. Phillips, aged 81 years, was the
best of all. Splendid music was
furnished by the Bloody Run Band.
All in all it was a very enjoyable
time. The best of order prevailed.
The school has been very successful.
The Smell school, John Mcclure
teacher, closed ON the 18th inst. with
an entertainment at night. The
house was crowded. There we're a
good many performances, chiefly by
the pupils; consisting of dialogues,
recitations and declamatioAs.
The first part of the programme
was tolerably good, but the rest was
simply low grade negro minstrel
show. AS the actors were very noisy
themselves, there was very bad order
in the audience, but few of the reel
tations could be heard in the back
part of the house.

The young man goeth to the skat-

He skateth with her. He occasion
ally falleth down and not unfrequent-
ly maketh motions not at all grace
full. He finally breaketh a pair of
skates and before his lady of course,
he tarrieth not but payeth the dam
age. At last the final bell ringeth
and the floor manager in clear tone
calleth out-"s Skates" Then and
not until then quitteth he skating.
He soon maketh ready and starteth
home. He talketh to his girl. She
talketh to him. He talketh nice to
her. She talketh nice to him. Fl
nally they reach her home. She ask
eth him in. He goeth in. They sit
down and talk one to another AT
ter short time he talketh sweet to
her and likewise, in due time, she to
him. Still later he proposeth to her,
and, yet a little later she seemingly
very reluctantly assenteth, and then
Finally he starteth home. He
raiseth his hat as he bideth her good
night at the. front door. He goeth
home. He stitch down by the fire.
He thinketh about what hath lately
happened. After quite a while he
thinketh of his small salary, and il
he be a student, of his no salary at
all and no prospect for one, then ver-
lily, verify he doth feel like kickethen
himself.

Closing of Oak Grove School.

LAUREL Iron Works, March 49,
Our school was brought to a close on
the 18th inst under the professorship
of VIM. A. Lyons. Although it was
very disagreeable day, quite ,
number gathered to witness the close.
We held our regular exercises until
O'Clock p. NJ, when we concluded
to close and hear from some of the
gentlemen present, Rev. l.. Warman,
(who never fails to be present with
us made the opening address, fol-
lowed by L. NJ. Jaco. The scholars
should always speak for Mr.. War
man, as he never fails to compliment
their taste in decorating their house.
He spoke of using the rod in the
school. He thinks it should not al
together he abolished, while others
spoke to the contrary. We agree
with the affirmative simply because
we know of parents who cannot con-
troll their children at. home without
the use of the rod, therefore they
should not expect otherwise of the
teacher.
Valedictory address by w. c. Ley.
Closing speech by the teacher. Adj
journed until 6 o'clock, when the
house was called to order. After a
few declarations and singing, the
teacher gave farewell address to his
scholars.
Mr.. Lyons term of school has
proved very successful one. He
leaves with the good will OF all his and
also the patrons of the school. May
success crown his labors.
