"Mr. Ambrose Smalley and wife re-. turned from Kansas one day last. week. They looked hale and hearty. Mr. 8. has sold his interest in the old’ estateé to the Straus Brothers.

Don’t forget it. ot KD e That School Trouble in Orange Town- - ship. : Eprror BANNER:—The communication in your issue of last week relative to the above is so grossly exaggerated in its statements as to require ‘something of a rebuke, in justice to the people of the neighborhood. In the first place, the “trouble” has been satisfactorily - adjusted over ‘three weeks, and the school has been progressing without the least difficulty’ Why “Justice” should, after this hap--py chapge was wrought, rush into print to advertise and exaggerate a not wunusyal “unpleasantness,” is more than I can comprehénd, unless itLeto satisfy a sordid desire for scandalizing the neighborhood and causing ill-feel-ing among the people. Secondly, the Trustee and the Director have done their utmost to rectify whatever may have been -objectionable and odious, and, their efforts having been crowned with success, it comes with very bad. grace at this late day to accuse them ~of unfaithfulness and neglect of duty. It is very ‘evident from “Justice’s” communication that he belongs to that class of unhappily constituted ‘people who delight in neighborhood quarrels and in rebuking the supposed ygort-icomihngi& of others while wholly gno 9 g; s‘p"rygy%éﬁééﬂlﬁwnoxza. : ~~ Horrible Calamity in China, ' 4 Pekin, China, ¢ Aﬂf 4 hortible catastrophe at Tientsin, mﬁﬁgﬂ ent women and Sona i the nsttadion porghed.

Henry Wicked Beecher’s latest doctrine is sinking deep into the hearts of ungodly men..

Young‘man, post yourself thoroughly. Lgafﬁ your country’s wrongs, and by whom brought about, and after becomingacquainted with the mercenary scoundrels who are buried as low as Nero in iniquity, deprive them of the power they now so unreasonably wield, and help to place in their stead honest and patriotic men. Human tongue can not tell, neither can pen portray, the good kind -words do. They cheer up the drooping spirits and give strength to the dejected and discouraged. Spoken to the little child, they create a desire to obey and thus lead it towards perfection morally and mentally, which answers the great purpose of its creation. How quickly the sad heart grows sadder when spoken to unkindly by those who are under obligations “to bear She inﬁ&_mities of the weak.” Some‘times we see little boys and little girls with drooping head% on account of troubles which children meet. The father steps into the room; he seesthe despondent condition of his child, he takes it by the hand and by a few kind and loving words, he drives away the gloom, and instead of the low and troubled appearance, its whole countenance indicates joy and happiness. The master speaks kindly to his dog, and he leaps for joy, and pursues his game with renewed vigor. And even cows, horses and all of God’s domestic creatures, exhibit signs of happinegs when spoken to kindly. H. A.R.

The enquiry on every hand is, is there no way to escape from this terrible night mare that is upon us? Is there nothing that our Congress can do to relieve the people of this -financial pgressure, until all is lost and our country is prostrate and in ruins? I pause for a reply. : £
