 Geo. Blake cut his throat one day last week, or more strictly speaking he sawed his throat. He did not attempt suicide but he met with remarkable accident which came near proving fatal.

 The Poughkeepsie Evening Star of Saturday Nov. incurred the righteous indignation of the Salisbury Teachers by its false and seemingly malicious report of the Teachers conduct while in Poughkeepsie that day. The report lacks even the redeeming quality of being funny, though perhaps the re- porter attempted to display his wit. To say the least, it would seem short sighted policy for the business men of Poughkeepsie to countenance or permit newspaper to ridicule excursionists who come there to trade.
 The Canaan Choral Union did not meet on Monday evening because Prof Harvey was unable to be present, but they will meet on Friday evening at Miss s. W. Adams.

There is similarity in the names Anna and Annie, and the name "Queen Annie" sounds 80 natural that during the rehearsals some o1 Annals intimate friends undoubtedly will affectionately address her as Queen Anna instead of Queen Esther.

We would gladly have published it had the author reveal ed his or her name, but we canno publish articles signed "A Friend" Nc well-regulated newspaper will publish anonymous comm unications. We dc not require the authors name for publi cation but simply as an evidence o good faith. It is strange that in thil age of the world people will persist ir sending anonymous communications tc newspapers notwithstanding they ar' daily and weekly notified that sucl communications are consigned to tn, waste basket.
