ed the pulpit in Christ Church, this
city, Sunday night, and preached
an able and interesting sermon to

community.
A MILD HINT-We would sug-
gest for the sake of Christianity,
harmony and good. feeling, that
those clothed with gospel robes
should be very careful how they i'll
use their calling by debating to
Others how they should do politi-
cally. "a hint to the wise is sutii-
Gent" without further reply.
The Catholic congregation of
Mason City, will hold grandfesti-
val and picnic on the 4th of July,
in the salt sheds in that town. 1t

case of excessive heat, all are kept
moderately cool; and, if in case of
rain all are protected and kept dry
An effort is being made to get up
a reunion of the West Virginia sol

August. A paper is being circula-
ted to secure a guarantee fund for
the purpose, which is being very
liberally subscribed to.
The pupils of Prof Kenny's select

Elinipsico, through the energy
and push of Capt. Armstrong, has
been cleaned up nicely, and all the
houses painted or whitewashed. 1t
looks now like a very different
place from what it did month or
two ago. 1t shows what good
business man can do when he tries.

The old topers should be happy
now, as two more saloons will
open in this place during the week.
Is there not such a thing as over
doing the saloon business? Two
many might cause the people to re-
volt, and at the next election, cut
them off entirely. They must not
forget that we have local option in
this State. We do not oppose Ii
cense, but we are opposed to too
much of the thing.
