doubt but that the damage would have

sons furniture was removed from the
building. The building and furniture
wore Insured IN the Gorman-Amerlcan
Company, Tranyham & Dial agents, for

This building, which is situated on

CLINTON.

The few bright days Of tho past week
seom to have given tho farmers i'm our
section new inspirations, and they are all
at work, hauling fertilizers, blowing,
ditching and general farm work One
fact worth noticing is tho iino condition
of the stock, and n great many Of those
who had old or slow mules havo traded
them OIL for younger ones, arguing that
it will pay bcttcr to hav a young, bright
mule whore they have to pay high
wages to hands, than to have cheaper
hands to follow a slow old mule. The
whole outlook for tho farmer is much
brighter than usual at this season of the
year. All small grain sown is worry
promising, particularly tho fall-sown
oats.
Recent and reliable information from
our prospective railroad, the c., G.. e NJ,

Education. Although written hastily
and prepared by inexperienced hands,
and not seasoned with the essence Of
maturod and polished thought, still, we
nope 1t may not prove all %unsavory, even
with the most fastldiOuS literary epicurc.
Education is the hand-maid of religion,
tho safeguard oflibcrty, the friend alike
to tho rich and to tho poor, to tho ruler
and to tho subject. tisimportanlc equal
ly to tho community and tho individual.
without II no people can properly bo rC-
sarded as happy or prosperous. How
ever bright their sky, however rich their
soil, however broad thor rivers, how
ever %salubrinus their elmo or howcN or
brave and nstthcir armies, without in.
tolligenco no people have ever yet at.
tanned true greatness. In tho virtue
and Intelligence of tho people, must the
grand superstructuro of good govern
ment rest, as a basis. Hero freedom
loves to dwcll-hcro only has she a
home. Eoro the tree of liberty strikes
her roots far down and stretches her gI-
ant branches farupward and outward to
shelter her children, Then education
must lay near the heart otevery pntri-
otic and philsnanthropiot. They would
then do VOL as occasion offers to drop
one word Of encouragement aud to give
smile of appreciation to those who are
