Our adversary across the hall says
that we edit the AnvmtTiSEU for our

would be a good thing for his land
lord and our saloon keepers, did some
responsible gentleman assume respon
sibility for the payment of his board
and whiskey bills. The faet, howev
er, that the editor of this journal does
not indulge in spirituous or malt li
quors, rather takes the edge off of our
neighbor's joke.
Why is it? We very often hear
this question asked by persons while

prox. Students, by self-boarding, can
reduce board to from $2 to $2,50 per
week. In addition to the Faculty of
past year, the services of two new
Professors have been secured, who
will enter on their work at the begin
ning of the Fall term. Thus addition
al facilities for imparting a thorough
education, according to the methods,
have been provided by the Board of

the University an Institution of the
first elass in all respects. The course
of study are various, five of which
are now open to students, viz: The
Classical, the Scientific, the Latin
Scientific, the Greek Scientific, and
the Agricultural. The compliment
of any one of these will entitle a per

A WOMAN'" OFFEHIXG TO THE
JIK310R.Y OF A WOSI.OT..
A few minutes past 12 o'clock last
Thursday, our beloved, our toell be
loved friend, Mrs. JJenry M. Atkin-
SDri, passed nway amid the noonday
splendors of a triumphant Christian
death. She who trembled at the
sound of thunder, who covered her
eyes at the sight of the vivid light
ning's Hash, walked steadily, bravely
down to the water's edge. She who
had silently, more than otherwise, tes
tified her belief in Christ, now as she
launched away, almost shouted her
joy as she beheld the portals of the
Eternal City. My pen refuses to write,
and in silence I contemplate her won
derful testimony, for language fails to
describe that more than heavenly in
spiration yhich she felt. There was
no need to argue with her- of the di
vinity of Him who, through His hu
manity, sympathised with her tor
tured body. Ncr.need to tell her the
atonement was complete, for already
His bleeding wounds had been plead
ing for her at the throne of the Mo3t
High. No need to comfort her with
the prospect of a glorious future, for
already she could exclaim, "J:now, 1
know, that my Redeemer liveth, and
that He shall stand at the latter day
upon the earth, and though after
my skin, worm's destroy this body,
yet in my flesh shall I see God."
Tied to physicial suffering, lifted
above earthly care, she staid but few
days with us, but while we endured
the suspense alternating between
hope and fear, we ventured to wish
that she might be spared to tell us of
this ''Great Lifht" which came to her
as she was entering the "Valley of the
shadow of Death."
That she who had a husband who
loved her devotedly, little children
who clung to her as only little chil
dren can cling; father, mother, broth
ers who loved tenderly ; Oh ! we wan
ted to know just what it was that
made her willing to leave them alt,
all; all that it would seem that could
make earth desirable. She spoke fre
quently of her unworthiness, her sin
fulness. "What," she wouhl say,
"have I done for husband or child, or
friend, that God should count me
worthy." When she said this, and I
looked at her frail body and saw how
little active work she could do, I re
membered her .great heart, how many
had a place there. No little child
wanting sympathy ever looked in that
sweet face with on & receiving it. No
woman, foot-sore and weary, ever
brought her want to Mrs. Atkinson
who went from her door half paid ;
no man ever entered her presence
who came from it feeling he was less
a man than wnen lie entered it; no
popular sin, because it was popular,
dared lift its head beside her fireside;
no fjuestion of public morals present
ed itself, but found her willing and
ready to defend what she considered
right. She was never known to re
fuse her sanction to that which was
good, noble and true. Her life proved
that not alone upon the high seas are
battles fought and won ; not alone
upon the tented field are viotories
stfiUtly contested, but within thqco'm
pass'of bur social system are arrayed
the contending forces of Good nmb
Evil, and a Christian woman, who
fought well, has fallen in the fray.
Such is her record. Let us by the
side of her lifeless bo-jy, above her
new-made grave, consecrate our
selves anew to God and His cause.
How I wish I might present this
Christ faith which sustained her in
death, to the young of this communi
ity, especially the young women of
her own church, that they would has
ten to make green her memory by an
active, Christian life; that the pastor
who longs to gather the young souls
in the fold, for whom he has prayed,
might realize a speedy answer to his
supplications. Toman: of them, oc
cupying as they do, an enviable posi
tion in society, will come temptations
which only God can help them to
meet. To die as she died were worth
a whole lifetime of care and sorrow,
if only at the even we may behold
the "Great Light" which she saw.
Soon kind fiiends will fold our hands,
smooth our garments, stronger hands
will bear us to the grave, will place
the sod above our last resting place,
then will come our record. Will it
be written in halls of pleasure, haunts
of vice, in 'Jens of infamy, or will God
find it inscribed in his temple, engra
ven on the hearts of his poor, wafted
to heaven by the prayers of His op
pressed, aflHcted people.

precinct who declared for the Chap
paqua chap, but on questioning the
said Republican, we were informed
that lie was not for Greeley that any
one knew of. So we etilj insist that
there is no renegade Republicans In
this precinct.
It was quite amusing to hear two
staunch Democrats quarroling on our
streets the other day about Greeley,
one of them accusing the other of be
ing a sore-head, because he would not
go for Greeley. Then came the reply:
"You have turned traitor to the great
Democratic party." How pleasant it
is to see brethren dwell together in
unity.
We have had occasion the past
week to talk with several Democrats
hereabouts, and we iind:but few that
are willing to support the "anything
to beat Grant" candidate. Some say
they will vote for Grant, provided
there is no Democratic candidate in
the field, and some declare they would
as soon commit suicide as to vote for
either Grant or Greeley, especially
the latter.
Our young friend, Phin Gard,
from LafaVette precinct, was in town
the pa.-t week. He was as Usual,
lively and full of fun. We took occa
sion to question him about the politi
cal status of that precinct, and he in
formed us that he did not know of
only one Greeley Republican in the
precinct, and he was not by any
means a very enthusiastic supporter
of the Chappaqua Ku Klux.
Died at Peru August 7th, of Bil
lions Colic, L. B. Hanson, a work
man on the Normal School building.
Mr. II. was a Virginian by birth, a
young man of steady habits, sober
and industrious; a man of apparent
sound health. His mortal remains
were followed to their last resting
place on Thursday by a large number
of our citizens. This is the second
very sudden death in this community x
taud in both cases the men were two
of the healthiest men that could be
found in the county.
Peru at present is very dull, and
unless an effort is made by some one
to instill a little life and enterprise
into this community, we are certain
ly gone up as a town. There is no
good reason why Peru should not
have three times the trade she has.
Now, all admit that our merchants
are as honest, and sell goods as cheap,
and pay a little mors for grain, than
any other town. But the great trouble,
that while other towns advertise their
business, and let the community at
large know that they are about; our
merchants and business seem to be de
termined to hide their light under a
bushel. Some of our merchants have
got an idea that everybody knows
they are doing business, and so of
course they don't need to advertise
Six acres of land, within five
minutes walk of the new Normal
School building, will be sold at a bar
gain if applied for soonr This is one
of the prettiest building spots about
Peru. For particulars enquire; of J.
W:. Bliss at Post Office, Peru. 42-St
Our citizens failing to get ativ
water in their cisterns, have token
vigorously to digging wells: and
speaking about wells reminds us that
the town board- intend to fill up the
town well.. TJiis should never be al
lowed by our citizens, ss it will cost
but little more to put the well in re
pair than It will to fill it up, and if
the board don't feel able to fix the
well, our citizens should take the atV
fair into their own hands and have it
put into running order. And speak
ing of the town board, we would like
to know about what time in the pres
ent century they will get that bridge
built on Main street, at the rate of
progress they are now making. What
are you waiting for? Is not Ben
Knott ready yet? It is to be hoped
that some of the youngest of the
rising generation will live to see. a
bridge put in, or the job abandoned.

Do you want a good season shoot
ing, and have no trouble with your
guns snapping, kicking or bursting,
and all the time wanting repairs? just
do as Nimrod Snyder and (Jill did.
on the first: throsv your old snap
caps to one side, and procure as they
did, one of Den's Breech Loaders,
and one of Den'a Muzzle Loaders,
then they faced Old Business and
killed their birds. And them that
buy their guns and ammunition of
Den, never fail to kill their game.
