MAY PAETY.-The scholars composing the
public school Will have May Party, on
Friday next, at the May Pole House. The
election for May Queen was held at the
school house on Friday afternoon last, which.
after a spirited and exciting canvass, resulted
in the choice of Miss Maggie Wakerly, of
Chilli Gulch. The unsuccessful candidate
bore her defeat with surprising fortitude and
equanimity. and so far from harboring any
malice or unfriendly feeling towards her op-
ponent, was the first to congratulate her.
A more fitting selection than Miss Wakerly,
to personate the queen of the loveliest and
most bewitching month of the year, could not
have been made. and when sne is decked
with flowers only less beautiful than herself,
crowned with roses and surrounded by her
maids of honor, we have no doubt but that
she will bear the enblems of regality with
charming grace and dignity. Mr.. Calm,
proprietor of the "May Pole" is making the
needful preparations, and we hope that the
ehildren's anticipations of merry time, will
be more than realized.

The FIRST OF MAY AT SEco.-On Wednes-

Guard will give their sixth annual parade

They have for some time past been actively
engaged in completing the preparations and
arrangements for the celebration, and those
who intend to be present can rest assured
that everything will be in readiness for their
reception. The exercises will consist of a
parade and target practice. during the day,
ending with ball in the evening at Armory

brass and string band have been engaged,
so that their will be no lack of good music
on the occasion. Mr.. and Mrs Syme, of

Of great danger, brick will not long resist creo-

of these dangers, One is to build all chimneys
with double walls, leaving an air space between
them, and carefully guarding all fireplace boards

accomplished by double chimneys is ventilation,

inserting yeutilators in the ouns chimney The
heat from The inner, when fires are used will al

to secure roof dre-proof on the exterior by slate

the side by ball at Ridgeway, and. being
abandoned by his comrades, was fain to drag
himself to the door Of farm house, and beg
for shelter and assistance. The male portion
of the family were away, the only person in
the house being the farmers daughter. She
pitied the condition Of the wounded man. and,
knowing that if her father and brothers found
him they would deliver him up to justice, she
concealed him in an old dsused barn at a
distance from the house, where she assisted
him to dress his wound and supplied him
with food until he was able to travel, and
then she aided his escape. About week

DEPEND ON YoURsELF.-Most young men
consider it a misfortune to be born poor, or
not to have capital enough to establish them
selves at their outset in life in good and
profitable business. This is a mistaken no

to them, if we may judge from what we daily
behold, il is really blessing the chances are
more than ten to one against him who starts
with fortune. Most rich mems sons die in
poverty, while many poor mems sons come

of curse to have to work out their own

with handsome wives according to the

ladies for which no money were likely
to be offered, yet these also were dis

virgins were sold, the crier ordered the
most deformcd to stand up and after

marry her with a small sum, she was

would be satisfied with the least and
