TO hear some of The old railroaders
tell what good times they used to have
years ago while running trains from one
end of the road to the other, makes one
note more particularly the strict disci-
pline maintained at the present time
among the employees. Each one has
mis- part assigned and he is expected to
flHt to the letter. Tt is seldom yon
flnd an ungentlemanly train hand. They
have learned that it pays to be polite
and accommodating and the public
should learn to be as polite and cour.
teous in return.

What the Trustees or other persons 10
charge of building the Hill School were
thinking of thirty-four years ago. is a
question your reporter asked himself
few days ago, while meditating in the
shade of the beautiful trees surrounding
the building, after having climbed the
golden stairs" leading to 1t. No answer
could be found. Certainly, property at
that time was so cheap, that even the
present Of lands up there should have bad
no weight against purchasing suitable
lot on the level on which to erect struc-
ture.
IfState Superintendent Chapman, Conn-
ty Superintendent Heath, the Mayor, the
Common Council and the Board of Trus-
tees could be forced to walk up and down
these steps twice day, either in Summer
or Winter, as the teachers and scholars
have to do, there would be an effort made
to have change and have it soon.
Because teachers and scholars have
climbed and retraced their steps FOR thir-
| ty-four years, is it any reason that those
who follow should be put to the same in
convenience To what better use could
the city lot be put than the erection there
on of substantial and beautiful building
for the education Of the young Of our city9
1t will pay better than jails, and IL needs
be hall sufficiently large to accommo-
date the City Council and other public Of
ficers could be built in connection there
with.
We are behind the times in the matter
ola high school building, except In name,
and there we have the advantage. Il Ia
high and no mistake. What are q few
thousand dollars, compared to the conve-
nence and comfort of those who teach
and those who study2 Why should not
our children have the advantage Of the
change now, for 1t must come sooner or
laterp
Trustees, think of the matter and think
ing of it, ACT. There was time and no
doubt 1t is true now in some parts of our
country, when boys and girls had to
walk three and four miles to school,
through all kinds of weather, and have
turned out to be eminent men and wo-
men, but this Is faster age and in this
thickly grown up district, we need the
best and most approved buildings, as well
as methods of teaching. The building
should be easily accessible and so we'll arr
ranged as to ventilation and light as to
be an object of pride.
One would think that the originators
OF the Hill School were spurred on by the
familiar lines,
Higher. higher win we climb,
Up the steps OF glory"
Let every father, mother, sister and
brother, urge upon those In authority the
Importance of a new building in the valley.

A coon STORY ABOUT ons. onusp.

While some old soldiers were relating
stories of the war around a "Camp Fire, y
lately, the following was told, which
struck the writer as showing clearly the
true inward character of the man and
soldier whom the boys nil love and revere:
While General Il. Burd Grub was in
command of the 87th Regiment, N. ]. ",
II was his custom every morning to have
the Surgeon or his Assistant stop at his
quarters after sick call and report person
ally those who were sick and what IN
their Judgment would be for their best
interests physically or mentally; then
whatever could BIO done was promptly
done. On one particular morning the
Assistant Surgeon reported that Tommy
Prickett, a private whom the boys all
liked, was very sick and very Respondent,
and unless something was done soon, he
would surely die. as medicine was not
having any effect. BY the Colonel's ques-
tloning 1t was found that Tommy was dis
appointed at not receiving letter from
bis mother that he had longed and looked
for from some two or three weeks, aud as
all the boys were receiving letters, this
fact seemed to work on his mind, and be
was practically worrying himself to death.
In that characteristic way of bis he asked
whats the reason he cannot have q let.
ter from his mother?'' AS no one answer
ed, he continued, HE shall have one, y
and out he started down among the Com.
pany tents There he found out BY In.
quiry all he could about his mother and
her circumstances at home, and whatever
information that would give thought to
write about. Back to his quarters he re.
turned and there in short time wrote as
tender letter, with oil the endearments,
as any loving mother could want to
send to her dear sick boy. His next move
was TO the hospital There he met and
shook the feeble hand of only private,
and In cheering words told him that he
had letter for him from his mother and
If he would let him he would read IL to
him. The poor fellow overcome with Joy
unspeakable, smiled consent, and the
Colonel sat down and in that rich vet
tender voice for which his reading was
noted, read the letter. After its perusaI.
he handed 1t to the sick soldier with the
wish that he would soon be better and
babe him cheerful good morning. He
took the precious document In his hands
and held 1t for long time and then
placed 1t under his pillow and soon fell
into peaceful aumber, from which be
awakened to recover, slowly but entirely
and to resume his accustomed place In the
company; and he still lives in the City of
Burlington. Ifno one has ever told him
Of the incident that no doubt saved his
life, he will pardon an old friend for thus
making 1t public TO refresh the memory
of those who were with him at the time
and are still living. @. II. w. v.

"unsought Advice" &c.
Did you ever stand around where there
were number of persons doing some
important work under the supervision
OF mechanic, and hear the remarks
made by those not employed, as to hoy
it ought to be done. If there is any
place in the world where advice from
such sources is of little account, il is
there. Why man, who for instance,
is shoemaker, should undertake to
tell machinist how to do his work,
which years of toll has made him master
of, is conundrum. A man who is
master of his trade generally knows
what he is going to do before he begins
his work, and, ''why don't you do SO ?''
"would II not be better il you could
work that end first p and thousand
other questions or suggestions, are fool
ish, and only impede instead of assisting.
Unless the party in charge is OF an
amiable nature. it is calculated to ruffie
the temper and cause bad words to be
thought of, il not said. There are some
people, however, who make it . point to
be around whenever gratuitous advice
can be given and shoot it off as though
they were the smartest people in the
world.

Dear Sir.--Tt was the writer's pleasure
to witness game of base ball in your
city, yesterday, aud the most uninterest-
ing part of the afternoons enjoyment was
being obliged to listento the profane Ian
guage used by man (not gentleman
In very close proximity to the Grand

taiDly imagine that he owned the club
and the grounds. We're 1t not that the
Grand Stand was most all occupied by
ladies, the profanity might possibly be
passed nnnoticed, but il your Manager of
the club wishes TO make success of the
game, and have it such that gentlemen
and their families can attend, 1t would be
a wise thing for him to muzzle this man.
Very truly yours,

Base BAH Fixtures.

The home team was defeated on Thurs
day last, in an uninteresting game. 1t
rained until half-past two, and the
grounds were all covered by water so that
good playing was out of the question.
The Lambertyilles played the worst game
OF ball seen on the grounds this season.
The Smyrnas are lot of good ball play
ers and 1t takes fine team to down them,
but we think we have the team now to dc
1t. The managers have two new men
who will play In to-morrows game and
we think they will strengthen the team
very much.

An ugly Advantage. Truly.

an Ugly AuFhntakes truly.
A little daughter of James Johnson,
OF Round Valley, had an adventure one
day about week ago that she will be
likely to remember. The little lady,
who is but years of age. climbed into
the manger of the horse stable to re.
move the bride from one of the horses,
first putting the lines around her neck.
From some cause the horse turned about
and walked out of the stable, dragging
the girl with him. When her screams
for help brought her father to her it was
found that her skull was fractured and
that the horse had stepped upon her
body in various places, bruising her ter
rib'y. She had been dragged nearly
two hundred yards. She was carried
into the house in an unconscious oondi-
ton. but her physician. has hopes of
saving her life. --Hunterdon Democrat.
