a certain enthusiastic young man
Of this pleasant vicinity donned his
best clothes, engaged a young lady OF
moderate beauty, lising not more than
a thousand miles from here, and pro
ceeded to take in the Fourth of July
celebration at Cooperstown. After
spending all his time and money on
her, at the expiration Of the third day
Of the celebration she gave him the
marble heart ard went home with a
hands0naer ~ man, leaving this
poor fellow to brood over his troubles.
Such reprehensible procedure on the
part Of the young lady cannot be too
severely condemned, but after this l

pointed friend viii bear the fact in
mind that the female sex is . peevish
one, and subsequently tampering with
the fair sex will keep one fixed princi-

time and cipher out the probable con-
sequence that follows such infringe
ment.

and coffee and the elucidation of the
principles Of pedagogy. There seems to
be the most contestion over the per-
nicious effects of tea and coffee.

er.

Miss Clara Feiring, our present and
efficient county superintendent, visit
ed the VanVleet school last Friday
1t will not be necessary to say that her
visit was recognized as matter Of great
importance, as her presence in the

to the work. The spirit of common
interest, justice and benevolence that
pervades all departments of her ad-
ministration is very much appreci-
ated by all classes, and Mabel will roll
up an unheard of majority for her
next fall and you just paste this in
your hat.

Mr.. and Mrs. J. B. Kinds, of Coop
