VILLAGE CHURCH MATTERS.

A new organist presided at the church organ here, last Sunday morn ing, a pupil of Mrs Augusta Pease, who has made exceptional progress the past summer and was compliment ed highly upon her success at the close of the service. AS Mrs Pease cannot be with us during the winter she en- listed the interest weeks ago of Miss Hattie COgswell in organ recital and being so perfect herself, she has i'm parted to M iss Cogswell all the know ledge possible which Miss Cogswell improved by practice and work, until Mrs Pease will now leave us a pupil she may we'll be proud of in achieve ment and as Mrs $. Cogswell desires for time at least to relinquish her duty. The church feels most grate- full to Mrs Pease for the interest she has taken in the matter and the most satisfactory result attained. Upon Mrs Pease'S retirement Miss Cogswell comes well prepared to take the organ in charge and will discharge the re- sponsibility well as closely following
 Mrs Pease's methods as possible. Your correspondent is also informed that choir rehearsals will commence again, | this week.

A MAD DOG SCA RE.

A mad dog scare has been felt here the past week. Two or three weeks ago a strange dog to all who saw him, appeared at William Murphy's farm and in Prime Wright's pig pen. Upon his second appearance at Wright s, Prime was fortunate in dispatching him with his rifle, but there has been an uncertainty since in regard to his intrusion and the number of animals he bit, till the first part of last week bull belonging to MT Murphy showed signs of widness and was shot the evening of the day he manifested con- tact with the dog: by R, H. Arm strong. Since that time MT Wright has killed two pigs and on Saturday a hog of William Murphy's died in spasms. He also lost two of his best heifers. All dogs above Frederick
 Hoffman $ are confined and it is most sincerely hoped no animal will go un- watched who was in the vicinity through which this unknown canine came. It sends thrill of dread through all who venture forth after nightfall or otherwise till thjs danger limit is safely passed. As soon as Hon
 Il. 0. Averll, cattle and horse com
 missioner, and one of our justices of the peace, learned of the appearance of this strange dog near here he drew up warning to the dog owners, as
 mentioned above, which was signed by
 all the other justices of this part of
 the town commanding restraint of all dogs in certain sections of this town in accordance with Section 44S3 of the General Statutes, till Novemb Der 30, and this week that order will be still further extended to December 30, so that all the precautions possible will be taken for the protection of man and beast till the danger limit is past.

WHEN SCHOOL OPENSs
SOME ..DON'TS" FOR PARENTS

DO not believe all that your children
tell you about school. There was only
one George Washington, and he u
dead.
Do not tell the teacher that Willie
viii not lie. She probably knows bss'
ter.
Do not condemn the teacher with.
out fair hearing. That is accordeG
to even the worst criminal. There are
usually two sides to a story.
Do not send scathing note to the
teacher by Nellie, the contents 81
which she knows. Her aggressive look
Of triumph is not soothing, and the
teacher is only human.
Do not make unfavorable comment
upon the methods Of the teacher in
the presence OF your child. Send him
to carry In the wood while you are
doing 80, II It must be DONE
Do not plead lack Of time to visit the
school. There Is no excuse for shirk'
NIX duty.
Do not reproach the teacher with
the fact that Tommy has not learned
q single thing the entire year." She
Is not responsible for his lack Of
brains.
Do not send a verbal request to have
Jessde's seat changed. There is often
40 vacant seat, and one change usu-
ally means at least half a dozen.
Do not expect the teacher to man
age without friction child whom you
yourself have never been able to con-
rol.
DO not insist that the teacher is
keeping your child back through spite
She will hardly risk her reputation al
an instructor to crafty a personal
grudge, however disagreeable the chilli
may be.
Do not forget that the parent oweG
a duty to the teacher just as surely az
the teacher does to the child.-Alice
Cook Fuller.
