SnlnK the children swam out of the

the centre school was kept in a small
school hnuse uoar the present Opora
House, taught by one toacher, and con
trasted it with the present school with its
eleven hundred scholars and twenty
touchers. There was a Centre and North
Centre district in 1C3, or uoar that date,
the two districts were consoldated.
That year the number of children enu
merated between four and sixteen years
of age was one thousand and twenty-sev

one thousand six hundred and slxtyelght.
Tho atttondaiice at tho ochool now is be

Thoro are some half dozen private schools
attended by ft hundred to a hundred and

Last week a gentleman named Theo
Anderson, agent of the Celluloid Hat and
Trimming Co., was in town showing- the
hat manufacturers a novelty in the shape
of a sweat leather for hats.; The leather
Is self-adjusting ami spring-fitting, and is
impervious to the effects or perspiration,
grease or any emeutation from the head.
It requires no stitching being fastened to
the hat by a little oaste on the Inside
These leathers or sweat bands, as the Co.
term them, are made different colors, and
one of them will last a man a life-time
Celluloid sweat bands will certainly bring
about a great change in the manufacture
of hats. We are Informed that ladies
hats are being made of it, resembling
the white chip. Piano keys are made of
It, and Celluloid jewelry Is now all the go.

We clip from the Union Fret Preni, of
Klttannlng, Penn., or Wednesday, Fob.
28, the following article relating to the
death of Mrs. Arthur Sherman, who soon
after her marriage visited Bethel and
made many warm friends and admirers.
all of whom uow mourn sincerely her de
parture :
On Sunday morning, Feb. 23, 1879,
aftei a brief illness, Lizzie wife of W. A.
Sherman and eldest daughter of W. D
and Mary Robinson, in the 23d year of
her age.
Only one year has passed sineo we
shared in the pleasures of that bright
scene before the marriage altar, and
heard this fair and cherished daughter
of the household repeat those sacred
vows of lovo and plighted troth "till
death us do part," and then saw her go
forth In the unconscious pride of love's
brightest vision realized, the heart's
fondest hope fulfilled.
The sound of those brief sentences
which prone unced her "wife" has not
become faint to our ears, or the memory
dimmed to the pleasures of tiiat Impres
sive scene, till In whispered words ami
with bated breath we are told "she is no
more," that the silent Mosseu jer of
Death has touched her gentle form and
beckoned her to follow to that "city
glorious," that "great and distant city,"
where are "mansions incorruptible."
And In those last sad rites we have heard
the solemn words repeated, "earth to
earth, ashes to ashes, du.st to dust," as
they have committed to her last resting
plitce an aflectlouate daughter, a devoted
wife, and ono whose yearnings had
scarcely been realized iu a new life till
thus suddenly ended. Alas, how brief
the interval between the altar aud the
tomb!
how good wid how pleasant it is for
brethren to dwell together iu unity.

pitched our tent, but our sleep was verv
much disturbed by the howling of wolves
in the vicinity. A few miles to tho west
ward, deer, panthers, auu other wild ani
mals aro numerous.
Two days brought us to a more thicklv
settled part of that country, and the Plan
tations were almost continuous, on either
side of tho bayou. Our gaily-painted
sK.in attracted considerable of attention
One thoughtful "son of Ham," wanted to
know if U. S. E. meant "vou three."
From Baxter to tho mouth of Bayou Bar
tholomew, a distance of about 300 miles
by water, the stream varies from 1(H) to
200 feet in width, and at low water from
a to 10 feet in depth Of course in the
Summer it is impossible for steamboats
to navigate It, but the difference between
high and low water ia about 21 feet. Cot
ton is about the only crop raised to sell
this they begin to pluck and gin In Octo
ber, and it keeps them busy for three
months. Iu December the rain falls, and
the streams rise, so that steamboats car
ryiug 1K)0 bales of cotton, co ui to the
bayou 150 miles, and others with a capac
ity of HOO bales, go up to within a few
miles of Baxter. About 5 months of the
year there is sufficient water, and in this
time the cotton is sent down to New Or
leans, and groceries and other sunolies
ror tne next months are brought up.
There are few railroads in this part of the
country, aud the peoplo aro dependent

1 he inhabitants of this region do not

timated that two-thirds of the children
die in infancy. In the Winter, pneumonia
is prevaient,anu often fatal, while throuirh
the Mmimer, they dread the swamp fe

air at all times being damp, and Inclined

tho soil and timber is quite inferior to
that in Arkansas, but the plantations are
more numerous, it being a longer settled
country. The soil lias a more sandy na
ture, and in a number of places, bluffs
from CO to 70 feet high, of brhrht red
sand, are found iu, close proximity to tlio
bayou, and upon these blufis grow short
leafed pine and scrub oak. From 4 to G
miles west of Bayou Bartholomew, the
land is similar to the above, the soil pro
ducing less than one-hair bale per acre,
We found very cold weather in Loulsana,
snow being nearly 6 inches in depth, the
thermometer within -t dog. of Zero, and
ice thick enough to skate on. It did not
seem very mucli like the. "warm and sun
ny south. ; .
We left Bayou Bartholomew at Orichita
City, and 30 miles on the Orichita river,
which C00 feet in width, brought us to
Trenton, which Is a small place, but the
shipping point for steamboats running be

At Monroe we took the ears on the
Vieksburg, Shrevosport and Texas.R. 11.;
for Vicksburg. For the greater part of
the way, the road passes over a low Hat
country, abounding in cane brakes and
swamps, but there are a number of small
towns and villages, iu each of which the
most prominent object in sit;ht from the
ears, is tho word, "Saloon." There are
northern men here, but they came to
make money, and are mostly Jews and
Germans, who seem to endure the
Innate. Fortunately tho trains run
slow, but the great wonder is, that they
run at all, for the ears roll and pitch like
a ship in a storm. You walk to the rear
platform to convince yo irself that you
are in reality moving on rails, and here
you see rotten ties from three to four
feet apart, the rail on tho riKht at least
six inches below its companion on the
eft, and 20 feet distant vice versa. Then
the traek will widen out in places to such
an extent that you are sure tho wheels
must fall between the rails, but still the
train g es on, and betore long you begin
to realize that the end of that ear is very
much like a hard trotting horse, and you
o back to your seat, sensible of the fact
that you aro in a reckless country.

Rigidity and contraction of the moeelcs

anchyloeed or stiff joints resulting from
inflammations; and even spiral cefonni
ties have yielded promptly to this subtle
force, as medical records prove; but In
fallibility Is not claimed for this, though,
more can be said in Its favor than for any
other remedy described in works on ma

Many forms of diseases not mentioned
above are curable, and before the afflicted
turn from this important remedial agent
it would be well to see whether thoir
