The general utility of gymnastic exer-
cises will be questioned only by those who
are not aware that the health and vigor of
all the bodily organs depend on the pro-
portioned exercise Of each. They insure in
particular the development of all the loco
motive organs, and they prevent or correct
the deformities to which these organs are
liable. They are best calculated to pro-
duced strength and activity, and to bestow
invariable health. They at the same time
confer beauty of form and they contribute
to impart an elegant air and graceful man
ner. lsa 4--v ''


Multitudes of ladies Of the present day
are suffering from neuralgia, headache and
dyspepsia, on account of the failure to take
feEdful exercise. Prior to the opening of
the gymnasium in this time, it was difficult
to find remedy for this failure. Ladies
did not obtain the requisite amount of ex-
ercise, because the range of exercises pos
sible to them was extremely limited.


There is no popularity of Hulley's sys-
tenn so deserving of praise as that it is so
admirably adapted to the wants Of women.

ton which would fit women for the very
high and influential position he is anxious
they should occupy, spoke as follows p

for her such physical training and exercise
as may confirm her health and perfect her
beauty, the highest refinement of that
beauty being unattainablc without splendor
Of activity and of delicate strength"


That kind of exercise should be first
practised which will call into action those
parts of the system most defective in their
development. As the only exercise of
most persons is ordinary walking, which
aloneis quite insufficient to expand the chest
-abnormally small -ill-formed chests are
almost the rule and diseases of the lungs
are the most fatal affections of this coun-
try. Now, althoughit would not be cor
rect to place these last facts always in the
relation of cause and effect, still there is
no doubt that they are very frequently thus
related, and it is certain that tubercular
disease would very much decrease if only
some pains were taken to exercise the
lungs, and provide for their free action by
strengthening the muscles Of respiration
and expanding the chamber in which they
work.

THE New York World says "The
Radical newspapers have forged speeches,

Is tia forgery that Frank P. Blair, the

wrote to Colonel James o, Brodhead on
the 30th of June;


"There is but one way to restore the Govern

its usurpatiOns at the South, dsperse the carpet

SCHOOL MEETING.-An adjourned meet
ING of the electors in School District No.
/, which was very numerously attended,
was held at the school house on Monday
evening. A tax of So, 500 was voted to de.
fray current expenses of the district during
the ensuing year. The question of build
ing new school house Immediately was
brought up, and elected much warmth OF
feeling and considerable heated discussion.
Those opposed to the division of the dis
trict were generally in favor of the measure,
believing that II the entire district could be
committed to the project of erecting a new
school building at once, that such action
would do much toward keeping the district
together. For the same reason, those who
advocated the proposed division were op-
posed to the measure. A motion that
the district proceed at once to build new
school house, to be completed in three
years, was carried by close vote. A mo-
ton to appropriate $4,000 for this pur-
pose was voted down. The meeting then
adjourned for four weeks, by which time
the vexed question of the division of the
district will be settled. and intelligent ac-
ton can be taken in the matter of school

The Rev. Mr.. Tying, popular evangelical
minister of the Protestant Episcopal Church In
New York, was spending a little time In New
Brunswick, New Jersey, to recruit his health.
He accepted an invitation to preach on the Sab
bath day in Methodist church. For this he
was prosecuted by two Episcopal ministers re-
siding in New Brunswick, and by court which
the Bishop appointed to try him he has been
convicted. The punishment to be inflicted upon
him, it is understood, is a public admonition by
the Bishop. And SO we have the spectacle pre-
sented OF godly minister is one branch Of the
Church condemned for the great crime of preach
ing sermon, upon invitation) in Methodist
church! This will by no means end the trouble.
Another Episcopal minister in Rhode Island
has just done the same deed, and others will
follow.

of Mr.. Solomon Straight Mr.. Straight
was a hard looking man. He informed

very high opinion of the Old-fashioned

"There had been much difficulty in

he. 1t is somewhat peculiar. Il is
successful only as long as the scholars
stand in fear of the teacher. If teach

would have as soon thrown sticks to a

to have brought me a bunch of flowers
