another name beside, which we canno
just now recall. In week or two the
seed will have ripened and the autumn
winds will scatter them to the foul
points of the compass, unless in the
meantime the owners of the lots shall
have prudently cut the weeds an6
burned them. This new menace te

been imported by movers from the
south.
Andrew Bugg, Esq. of Patterson,
Mo-. came to the Valley Monday to
place an adopted daughter in the Ur-
suline Academy. After concluding his
business, he took day to look around
and view the changes that had taken
place during his absence of more than
thirty years-for Mr.. Bugg was born
and reared in the Valley. He called

acquaintance interrupted by the war

health, prosperous farmer and an es-

With the front yard ablaze with
china lanterns and the parlor turned
into a veritable bower of flowers and
palms, the residence of Mr.. Doty gave
token TO passers by that some unusual
event was taking place there last Tues
day evening. 1t was the marriage of
Miss Bessie Doty to Mr.. James Lily.
At 9 o'clock Miss Robbie French began
playing the grand wedding march. the

the music ceased, Rev. Myron Cooley
stepped forward and said the solemn
and beautiful words that are so ex-
pressive as linking the two lives to-

guests present aside from the families
of the happy couple were Mrs. SAILS

Two very creditable entertainments
were given by local talent in the Acad-
envy of Music within the past few
weeks: one by Miss Baird's music
class. and the other by the young
ladies visiting and resident of the Val
ley. Both entertainments filled the
house to overlooking, and the only
thing that marred their enjoyment was
the outrageous conduct of few would
be up-to-date young gentlemen. The
better class of the audience, as well as
those on the stage, were annoyed and
disguised by the uproarious conduct of
this select few, who deafened the ear
with whistling, yelling. horse-laugh-
ing, and all the various methods OF
their s'smartness. At times,
when the children, in the one instance,
Or the young ladies in the other, were
singing on the stage. these shallow
pated youths would join in the Choir
uses in a sarcastic manner-demon-
strating to their own satisfaction their
for all present save them
selves. Complaint of these things on
the part of the public is frequent and
urgent, and a stop must be put to
them. The management OF the Acad-
envy cannot endure it, and if it did the
public ought to cease patronizing the
hall. We hope the offenders will take
if they do not, the most rad
ical measures will be taken to make
them behave decently. This is both
Official and certain.
In an article relative to the opening
of Bellevue Collegiate Institute for
this year. the Pennington Herald says:
The perfect satisfaction which the
people of Caledonia manifest over the
removal of the Conference
School is somewhat surprising. They
regret the doubtful ability of the peo-
pie of Fredericktown to complete the
building and secure the conference
school and seem to think that when the
conference convenes again and learns
the true situation they will hesitate to
accept the deal given them by the peo-
pie of Fredericktown. They are in
clined to the belief that when the con-
ference learns how they have been de-
ceived with regard to the Frederick
town movement; when they see that
the subscription and bond for S25, 900
which the Fredericktown forces so
loudly declared on the floor of the con-
ference was as well worth $25, 200 as
one dollar is good for another. is by 10
means worth that amount; when they
learn that the proposed building when
completed Gf it is ever completely will
fall far short in size of what it was rep
resented it would be; when they learn
that the cost of construction has been
greatly reduced, and that several thou
sand dollars have been borrowed TO
put the building in Its present unfin-
ished coudition-and the time for the
completion having past-Frederick-
town will fail to make terms with the
conference: they being under no obli-
cations to accept the building in an IN
finished condition and with a large
debt on it. The present Board of Gu
rators of the Conference School was
