The first mackerel last year were

the close law prevented such an early
arrival the present year, even if the
fish had been found by the vessels,

CLOSING EXERCISES OF

MUSICAL PLEASURE TO THE
NEIGHBORHOOD--T

LIGHTED.

To The FISHERMAN & FARMER.
This school is SITUATED in one Of the
prettiest and most prosperous parts
of Chowan county, and although only
small school, it has been under
splendid management and has accom-
! plished great good. The school has
been under the charge Of Miss Julia
A. Primer, most excellent and
accomplished lady, who has done
her work we'll and has given entire
satisfaction.
The mothers and fathers Of the
little folks full of anxiety and desire
to see the development of the minds
Of their dear ones, were gratifed to
no ordinary extent, for the work Of
the efficient Miss Primer was unmis-
taxable as was evidenced by the
proficiency of the scholars IN render
ing their appointed tasks.
The exercises were opened by a
grand chorus of the entire school
then followed some Rotations, dia-
logues, speeches, essays and some
lovely music. AS space will no
permit, we mention only part of the
programme: Recitation by Miss
Mary Evans, "Ring out the wild
bells, ring in the new" Recitation
by Miss Mary Coffield, Crock me
in the cradle" Recitation by Miss
Maggie Evans, we forget the title,
but her cute little voice, won much
favor. Dialogue by Misses Sallie
Jones, Rebecca Hudgins and Mary
Evans, which was rendered we'll and
won much applause. The address
by Master Willie Holley, THE way
to be happy" was rendered in a
very pleasing manner and fully in
keeping with the subject. Between
each recitation, choice music was
rendered by different scholars in a
very creditable manner.
After the exercises were over, all
present were invited to the residence
of Mr.. Augustus Holley, where a
large table had been spread with ice
cream, strawberries and many other
good things for the pleasure Of all. |
We know Of no neighborhood where
the people are more congenial and
sociable. May we all meet again. |
Say bye bye to Miss Primer for me.

application in 1875 for leave to become

ted by the inhabitants. with the con-
nivance of the local authorities. He

but must fetch every thing for his
hotel from other towns away. He ap-
pealed to the cantonal authorities, and
they have sent gendarmes to protect
him. The commune has to pay for
the lodging and food of these officers,
and if this does not make the local au-
thorities relent it is announced that a
company of soldiers will be sent to
Zermatt to board upon the same terms.
NJ. Seller has built up the place, and

THE HlNpoo WIDOW.
Her Unenviable Lst Graphically Describe

Her Unenviable Lot Graphically Described
BY One Of Her Countrywomen.
No sooner does Hindoo woman. be
she fifteen or fifty, lose her husband,
than the persecution Of custom begins.
Her locks are ruthlessly
shaved clean of at the instigation of
the butcher-priest. In these matters
the feelings of the unfortunate victim
are Of no account, and her piteous pro-
tests are usually rudely ignored. From
this moment she is the incarnation of
all that is unlucky or inauspicious.
Her presence is summed; she is leper
of society. doomed to pass her life in
seclusion. aud not allowed to mix free
ly with her people. If the unfortu-
nate creature unwittingly intrudes her
csdi;;a;:s presence on any occasion of Joy
or festivity, the company curses her
presence and regards it as an evil
omen. sure to be followed by some
great calamity Be it known that the
company which curses her very exist
ence is mostly composed Of her dear
and near relatives. If an orthodox
Hindoo starts on an enterprise, but, as
ill luck would have it, describes poor
widow on the road. he curses her to
the fourth generation, laments his I'M
fortunate lot. and prays his 330,OOO,-
600 of gods to avert the certain mis-
fortune which the evil omen q. G., the
widow portends. The widow is an OBJ
ject of contempt and scorn to her very
relatives, though occasionally these
feelings are tempered with pity. Amid
whatever luxuries q HindoO woman
might have been nurtured, no sooner
is she stamped with the stigma of wild
owhood than she must pay the PEN
atty of her existence. She must put
on coarse garments and eat unsavory
food. and that, too, in many families but
once day. The mental work of the
family becomes her lot as matter of
course. She must observe all the fasts,
of which the Hindoo calendar is very
prolific, and for her spiritual comfort
is ostensibly prescribed round of
rigid austerities the weary monotony
and unflinching severity of which is
potent enough to extinguish whatever
spirit Of mind and body she may have
at one time possessed. Any laxity in
the observance of the prescribed
course of penance is sufficient to scam
dalize the relatives of the widow and
is regarded as strange perversity, if
not downright turpitude.
entreat my countrymen to judge of the
miseries of widows by transferring the
same penalties to men. Suppose it
had been enacted that when a man
lost his wife he should continue cell
bate, live on coarse fare, to be tabooed
from society, should continue to wear
mourning weeds for the remainder of
his life, and practice, whether he would
or no, never-ending austerities-in
short, if widowers were subjected to
the same hard lot as the widows,
ask would my countrymen not have
long since revolted against such in
human treatment.-A Hindoo Lady.
