We have been requested to advo-
cate the formation of either a lecture
course, o musical association, or q
debating or even dramatic club, as u
means Of furnishing amusement dur
ing the fall and winter evenings.
What is the use, gentlemen, of advo-
eating any thing of this nature if no
interest is manifested in the subject
beyond its discussion AT the same
time nearly every village of any pre-.
tension has one or more such organi-
cations ; and it has been proven time
and again that our village possesses
sufficient really good talent to pro-
duce instructive and amusing enter
tainment. The HERALD will always
be ready to assist in any thing that
will in any way be q benefit to the
town, but to make it effective it must
have the hearty cooperation of all
! interested citizens.

Our foreign letter (see second page
will be found worthy q careful peru
sal. The writer, Mr.. A. w. Hobson,
is q close observer. and narrates in a
frank and interesting manner his i'm
pressions of the country he is now
visiting. Reference is made this week
to the Bulgarian question, as viewed
from the German standpoint, and in
view of the fact that within the past
few days new complications have
arisen in the Balkans, owing to the
extraordinary and peremptory de-
mands made by Russia upon Bull
garia, and the subsequent decisive
de :laration by Austria, the letter is
more than ordinarily interesting.

A Promise Fulfilled.

A little more than a year ago we
published in these columns O. notice of
the discovery of Sheridan's Condition
Powder to make hens lay. In making
that announcement we relied wholly
upon the character and repu tation of
the manufacturers. To our own mind.
at that time, the idea of making hens
lay the year round by artificial or any
other means, seemed absurd, but we
have since learned that it can be done.
The notice alluded to above attracted
universal attention, and thousands of
people, while not believing that Sher-
idan's Powder could accomplish all
that was claimed for it, thought it was
at least worth Il trial. The trial was
made during December, January and
February. No other months could
have been selected which would have
given this Powder so severe test, for
everybody that who keeps hens
knows that they will not lay during
these months except in rare cases.
But the result of this trial was most
satisfactory and conclusive. Hun
dreds of those who made the trial re.
ceived from IS to "a eggs per hen each
month, while many got one egg day
from each hen. The price of eggs
during December, January and Feb
ruary last, averaged 30 to IS cents pei
dozen. Thus it will be seen that q
very few hens each laying an egg g
day would support a small family
