See the advertisement of the coming
history of Guildhall, and sketch of
Essex county. This matter is SO much
subject of personal as we'll as general
interest, and involves so many things
belonging to town and county, and
written by one of our boys, that we
hope all will take hold and help the
young author. Every item of interest
that can be CLEANED from the romance
and reality of primitive times to the
present, woven into a pleasant nara
tive or history will be to our county
people of the greatest value. Remem-
Der the success of the work depends
much upon the aid the author receives
from those most interested.

Dogs have killed six sheep from the
pastures of M. G. Davis and A.. J.
Pierce, and more are missing.
Allen Cushman has his house UP
and nearly covered, and intends to
have it completed before the coming
of cold weather.
DR.. Cushman has received the APP
pointment of postmaster at this place,
he being Democrat of only few
months age. His most intimate
friends supposed him to be a Repub-
lican, he having attended the Repub-
lican caucuses and at one time was a
candidate for delegate to the State
Republican Convention, and he cast
his vote for the Republican State and
Presidential ticket, but now he has
become Democrat to suit the times.
Some time ago he slyly circulated a
petition for appointment as postmas-
ter, but succeeded in getting only five
or six names and had to go out of the
town and county to get others; this
paper he forwarded to Washington,
and shortly afterward remonstrance
was also sent the department signed
by over $50 persons who receive mail
at this office, but it was of no avail.
The whole matter summed up is just
this this man wanted the postoffice,
so he turned Democrat and has re-
ceived his reward-much good may it
do him

While there is no cause for alarm
here over the small pox epidemic pre-
vailing in Montreal, there is reason for
precautions, and the authorities
should act promptly. No contagious
disease can be controlled so easily as
small pox if taken in season. The
Montreal authorities dallied With it
and did little or nothing to check its
spread when it first appeared, and it
is due to their Indifference that the
disease has assumed its present alarm
ing proportions. The result should
prove a warning to the authorities of
all cities and towns where the disease
may make its appearance to attack it
vigorously at the start and not allow
it to gain Roadway.

IN the early days OF Methodism in Scot
land a certain congregation, where there
was but one rich man, desired to build q
new chapel. A church meeting was held.
The old rich Scotchman rose and said !:
Brethren. we dinna need a new chapel ;
I'll give IS for repairs"
Just then a bit Of plaster falling from
the ceiling hit him on the head.
Looking up and seeing how bad IL was,
he said: Brethren, its worse thon /
thought. I'll make it 30 pun
"Oh, Lord exclaimed a devoted
brother on a back seat, " hit i'm again Z"
There are many human tabernaCles
which are in sore need OF radical building
over but we putter al / fuss and repair IN
spots without satisfactory results II 1s
only when we are personally alarmed at
the real danger that we act Independ-

did not sooner use our judgment, follow

others and jump away from our periis.

when thcv might be in a satisfactory con
ditiOu. They are weak, Hfeless, full OF
odd aches and pains, and every year they
know they are getting worse, even though
the best doctors are patching them IN

Is the kidneys and liver, and N they would

Thoughts: for Saturday Night.

Be rigid to yourself and gentle to
others.
The G Itest misfortune of all is not
to be able to Oear misfortune.
When reason is against man. man
will be against reason.
All philosophy lies in two words
sustain" and abstain"
No one will dare maintain that it is
better to do injustice than to bear it.
Absence destroys trif1ing intimacies.
but it invigorates strong ones.
Age, that lessons the enjoyment of
life, Increases our desire of living.
Our grief may be guessed from the
solace and self deception we resort to.
The higher up the mounoain YOU
climb. the higher you can see.
tits more profitable to look up our
defects shan to boast or our attain
ments.
If evil be said of thee and it is true.
correct it; if it be a lie, laugh at it.
There is a German proverb which
says that Take -It-Easy and Live-Long
are brothers.
