1t is to be hoped, that the financial
success of the lecture given by w.
Hawley,Smithlast week, will encourage
the promoters of that entertainment
in the arranging of lecture course for
Audubon during the coming year. A
course of three or five lectures would
receive liberal patronage from the
people in general, such entertainments
being not only an intellectual treat,
but far in advance of any amuse-
ment that Audubon is at all likely to
enjoy.
The home of Mr. and Mrs. James r.
Chandler is darkened by the death of
their little daughter, the only child.
Jean Harley Chandler, aged years 2
months and II days, died Wednesday
morning. Little Jean Chandler was
one of Audubon's prettiest and bright
est little girls, great favorite, not
only among her little friends, but
among the older ones as well, who all
admired and loved this dear little one
for her pleasant and charming ways,
and who will unite with the bereaved
parents in sincere mourning for little
jeans untimely death.
Last Friday evening Mr.. and Mrs.
John A. Nash entertained large
number of their friends at one of the,
most delightful social gatherings of
the season. The principal amusement
of the evening was the attempt of the
guests to count plain figures from to
1876 without mistakes, which very SIM

doing correctly. The first prize in the
contest was awarded to Miss Lowene
Van Gorder. The choicest of refresh
ments contributed to the pleasure of
the evening and at late hour, the
guests, bidding their kind host and
hostess good night, sought their homes,
carrying with them the memory of
most joyous and happy evening.
"In social and political sense, ours
is a free school system. 1t knows no
distinction of rich and poor, of bond
and free, or between those, who in the
light of this world, are seek
ing through different avenues, to
reach the gates of heaven. Without
money and without price, it throws
open its doors, and spreads its table OF
bounty for all the children of the state.
Like the sun it shines not only upon
the good, but upon the evil, that they
may become good; and, like the rain
its blessings descend not only upon the
just, but upon the unjust, that their
injustice may depart from them and
