The celebrated Cumberland smithing
coal at Hallack & Towards lumber yard.

While returning from a professional
visit, northeast Of the city, last Thurs
day night, DR.. Kay lost his hearings in
the darkness, shortly after entering the
city limits, and drove into one of the
trenches recently ~excayated for the ad-
ditional water mains now being put in
by the Water Works Co. But one of
his horses-his fine blooded colt-went
into the ditch, from which he was extri-
Gated, with the valuable assistance of
his steady old horse, without injury,
though with great difficulty, and after
a long season of laborious effort and
prayer. However, we are not anthem
tically advised as to the devotional feat
ures of the case. The doctor does not
court another similar engagement. Ex-
Treating a frisky colt from a foot
ditch, in Egyptian darkness, single-hand-
ed has lost it's charms and novelty with
him. Seriously, the doctor is to be con
graduated upon his escape.

Would it not be advisable to change
some of those steep grades on Main
Avenue before some person receives a
broken leg or arm? During the past
few days, a number of ladies have fallen
down, while attempting to scale or de-
scend those unreasonably abrupt places,
fortunately with no bodily injury, how
We hope this matter will be at
tended to before anything serious oc-
ours and damages are entailed.

A sensation was unfortunately avert

A sensation was unfortunately avert
ed, in this city, last Thursday night,
through the cowardicc of the principal
in the affair-John Jones of the Nc
Cook House. 1t appears that Jones
had been drinking heavily during the
day and gambling, and that he lost over
a hundred dollars in Tyler's den on
Main street. The loss of this amount
of money and whiskey together-a fatal
combination-made Jones imagine for
a time that he ought to die. Later in
the evening, he called up the household
and informed them of his intention. The
purse he was threatening to pursue
seemed to be so nearly in c~ousonance
with the feeling of the gathering. that
Jones decided to deny them the consola-
ton, hence the averted sensation.

Political Observation-Disclosures
Of Citizenship.

Extract from an address entitled Agriculture
and Agricultural Life. delivered at the Farmer 5
Institute at Augusta Mich, Feb. 4, 1885 by Frank
Little of Kalamazoo
THE farmer as Il citizen should take
an active interest in.the affairs of gov
eminent. The ballot is a trust an
obligation "a duty to be discharged for
the promotion of public interests, and
to maintain the honor, dignity and
sonal responsibility, and the moral
courage to follow personal convictions,
lies at the foundation of all political
reforms. Political organizations are
simply means to an end. They can
not take the place of conscience or
judgment, relieve the citizen of indi-
vidual responsibility, or arbitrarily
control his action.
We have a common country. n gov
ernment for the protection and the
welfare of all the people. 1t exists for
the good of all. All stand upon an
equality before the law. Questions of
public policy, and choice of officers are
appeals, necessarily, to the judgment
and conscience of voters. Abstractly,
there should be free political action.
without intimidation, denunciation, or
restraints. Affairs of government must
necessarily be administered through
human agencies.
The government does not belong to,
neither is peculiarly under the care or
control of any political party. Persons
chosen to public office are not thereby
vested with an inalienable right of in
heritance or incorporated with, and
made an Indispensable part of the snb-
stance and essence of government. No |,
They are simply business agents of
the people, chosen and paid out of the
public treasury, to discharge certain
duties according to law. Are they al
ways faithful to their trusts ? Alas
no. Associations of private citizens
are being formed - Law and Order
Leagues-as pressing necessity, to
compel public officers to do their sworn
duty-tO enforce the laws! A sad com
msntary upon the political degeneracy
of the times an impeachment of Off
cial integrity and honor; and lasting
shame and reproach to a civilized,
Christian people
There is too much machinery in
American politics. The management
is costly, INSCRIPTIONS, aud at times
very offensive to upright citizens. Mod
ern political dogmatism abjures liber-
alism, and independent thought II

as do not embrace its doctrines, and

Reasons for Their Belief.
Testimony of Eminent Men.

At Rev. Joseph Cooks last week.
Monday lecture in Boston, special in,
terest was given the occasion by pre-
senting to the audience symposium
on Christian evidences, as contained
in series of letters from five eminent
specialists, written in answer to the
question "Why do ysu personally be-
lieve the Christian religion to be a
divine revelation ?"
| The first was from ex-President Hill,
formerly of Harvard university and
now of Portland, Me-, and regarded as
one of the best representatives of the
Unitarians in this country. Ex-Presi-
dent Hill wrote that personal expe-
rience of 80 years gave him a knOwl-
edge of the saving power of Jesus;
that in these so years he had found in
his friendships the sweetest and purest
characters were those who believed in
Jesus that he was convinced that it
was Jesus alone who had lifted the
world out of the moral darkness in
which it was plunged at the time of
the Roman Empire that he had per-
sOnally known the power and influ-
ence of the gospels, and lastly, that the
miracles and the resurrection confirm
ed his faith in the power and saving
life of Jesus.
President w. F. Warren of Boston
university wrote: | believe Christian
ity to be a revelation because it has
made me incapable of any other belief.
Christianity has lifted me above the
possibility of any satisfaction in any
philosophy of being or living or desti-
ny except Christ. The system has the
power of elevating not only beliefs but
believers.
Rev. DR.. A. p. Peabody wrote: be-
lieve Christianity to he divine because
of its adaptation to my spiritual ma
ture; because it has wrought in the
world a great moral regeneration such
as could only have been wrought by
enc who had been raised from the dead,
and because the gospels, from their
very nature, must have been written
by eye and ear witnesses.
Professor Francis Bowen of Harvard |
College wrote declining to attempt a
full answer of the question, but said
that he found evidence of the incarua-
ton of the fulness of the GOdhead in |
Jesus in the sermon on the Monnt, and |
in the parallels.
Bishop f. d. Huntington of Central
New York wrote: | believe Christiani- |
ty to be divine:
