Our Sunday school at this place
is progressing as well as could BIZ
expected from the little interest
shown in it. It is impossible &c
make either a Sunday school OF q
public school a success without the
help of the parents of the chill
dren, who attend or should attend
the school.-Parents have duty
to perform toward their children
higher and more sacred than that
of clothing and feeding them, and
not only God, but good society
will hold them responsible for the
manner in which they perform
that duty ----=.------

We're 300 indictments found by the
grand jury, of which III are fol
selling whisky; GA for carrying
Weapons, and So for other misde-
