Our departed chief acknowledges,

on New Yeurs day. It must be so,
for on taking possession of this office
we found the keg, but its spirit had

As will bo observed in another col

to fee the enterprise our neighbors are
manifesting, but lack information
concerning the nature of the under
taking. Ti-riol & Richards have been en
9tred for several days in removing
their t-tock from the Brick Block to a
location nearer the river. We do not
like to see them go, but it demou

Our peoplo were startled on Mon

On New Years Eve, in company

From daylight until dark, the hill

'Sleighing.
Since the snow-fall on Saturday
sleighing has been excellent, and our
young folks have endeavored to im
prove it. On Monday evening a par
ty of young ladies and gentlemen pro
cured a large sleigh, cuddled them
selves away among a wealth of robes
and drove out to Mrs. Waite's, west
of the city.
We, too, must acknowledge an
agreeable respite from the irksome
task of manufacturing locals on Mon
day afternoon, and a drive inHetzel's
nobby sleigh, through the kindness of
that accomplished equestrienne, Miss
Ella Reeves. We were admonished
that we had emerged from Leap Yeaiv
but accepted the invitation with the
assurance that it was tendered 7iunc
pro tunc, as the lawyers say. We
have always thought it must be fun
to go "sleighing with the girls," now
we know. In the language of Miss
Dartle, "We didn't know, and now we
do know, and that shows the advan
tage of trying don't it?"

To the readers of the Advertiser.
You probably noticed an article in
the Advertiser of January 2d, head
ed "Epizootic among the mail sacks,"
and it is for the purpose of correcting
a mistake in said article concerning
the postmaster at Giant that I write.
The carrier arrived here at four
o'clock. I told him I would keep
him. I had no stable for his horse, as
my stable was full of my own horses,
but I would fix a3 comfortable a place
as I could for his horse, around the
stacks, out of the wind. Our house is
small and family large, but we were
perfectly willing to keep him and do
the best wo could.
Now, Mr. W. A. P., let me ask you
in all candor, what would you have
done under tho circumstances?
Would you have turned your work
horses out, or would you not have
done the best you could, as did the
Grant postmaster.

Union Snlibatli School Concert.
Mr. Editor: The fourth Union
Sunday School Concert was held at
the Highland Baptist church on
Christmas Eve, in addition to which
the generous people of Highland erec
ted a Christmas Tree.
Notwithstanding the severity of the"
weather and the prevailing horse dis
ease, the house was crowded to its ut
most capacity.
At an early hour the assembly was
called to order by Wm. Phillips, and
D. Y. Culbertson chosen chairman for
the evening.
The first thing on the programme
was singing by the school, then
prayer by Elder Burlingame, Metho
dist minister of this place.
Tho exercises consisted, of singing,
declamations, essays and select read
ing. The singing was accompanied
by the organ, with Miss Ellen Bagley
the organist.
If any praise is due, it should be
given to tho smaller portion of the
school for the manner iu which they
performed their parts. We would
speak in particular of the dialogue,
"Santa Claus," spoken by five small
girls, and the one on the use of "To
bacco," in which five of the boys par
ticipated ; and tho declamations spo
ken by Master Horace Armstrong and
Miss Berta Campbell.
After the exercises were over, Mr.
Burlingame was called on, who made
a few very appropriate remarks. Then
a committee of little girls, dressed for
the occasion, passed through the as
sembly, distributing candies, nuts,
&c. to all present, after which the cur
tains were withdrawn, disclosing a
tree well laden with presents of all
descriptions. While the gifts were
being distributed confusion prevailed,
each one eager to see what present the
tree might contain for him.
We have had the pleasure of at
tending some of the concerts held at
the same place, and think each an
improvement on the last, and that the
people of tliis vicinity have cause to
be encouraged, for they are doing a
good work, and one that is not only a
benefit now, but will prove a blessing
for all time to come. B.

Dear Sir: We have had, since
early morning (now 5 p. m.) a henvj
and continuous snow storm. Snow
now, over a foot deep, where not
drifted. This will probably be the
deepest known in this county for
twenty years. Mercury has stood
lower than during any winter for nine
years past. From December 17th to
25th it ranged from 19 to 2-4 degrees
below zero. Nine years ago ('G3-4) it
stood, on one day only, as low as 2S
below. Many, of course, readily re
call the time, it being distinguished
as the "cold New Year."
The horse disease has been here, of
almost universal prevalence, but com
paratively light in its attack. In
many instances, especially where the
horses have been well cared for, its
eflects are scarcely perceivable.
Tho indications are, that as soon as
the storm ceases, tho weather will
turn extremely cold.

The liver is the great depurating or

Set the great housekeeper of our
health at work, and the foul corrup

rot out, as it were, the machinery of
life, are gradually expelled from the
system. For this purpose Dr. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery is preemi
nently the article needed. It cures
every kind of humor, from-the worst
scrofula to the common pimple, blotch
or eruption. Great eating ulcers kind
ly lieal under its mighty curative in
fluence. Virulent blood poisons that
lurk in tho system, are by it robbed
of their terrors, and by a peisevering
and somewhat protracted use of it,
the most tainted systems may be com
pletely renovated and built up anew.
Enlarged glands, tumors and swell

vent. It is sold by all druggists.

Teajherh' Institute.
Lafayette Precinct, Dec. 27.
Institute met at 7 o'clock p. M. On
motion Mr. J. C. Eberhart was called
to the chair and E. B. Hubberd elect
ed secretary.
All present then united in singing
"Old Columbia," after which Mr. Cal
vin led in prayei.
Owing to the inclemency of the
weather, the attendance was small ;
the mail had also failed to reach
Grant, for two weeks, hence the pro
gramme did not reach its destination
until it was too late, and, of course, a
gdodly number kept away on that ac
count, not knowing anything about It.
We trust tho mail won't get the Epi
zootic any more. We are willing to
forgive it this time.
A ciphering match was then pro
posed. Mr. Hubberd and Mr. Spauld
ing were selected as Captains. Near
ly every one present participated in
the exercise, and thought it a treat,
and surely it was.
-The question as to whether a text
book should be prepared with ques
tion and answer, was discussed in a
lively manner by Messrs. Spaulding,
Hubberd, McGrew, Calvin and oth
ers. The general impression was that
they should not be prepared in that
way as it had a tendency to lead to
memorizing too much and not the
be3t way to awaken thought.
Adjourned until Saturday morning.
Saturday morning, 9 A. M. Music.
Prayer was offered by Mr. Campbell.
After which Mr. Hubberd gave his
method of teaching fractions, which
was practical, a,u4 approved by all
present.
S. W. McGrew then gave his meth
od of teaching mental arithmetic, by
forming the teachers into a class, all
agreeing that the plan was a good one,
and, also, that an exercise in mental
arithmetic should be practiced in ev
ery school ; that it had a tendency to
dispel monotony and enliven the
school.
Mr. J. B. Campbell then gave his
method of teaching reading by a class
drill. In the main teachers agreed
with him ; however, some discussion
ensued. The idea generally prevail
ing that short lessons should be given,
and that they should be thoroughly
understood by the teacher and pupil ;
that the child in order to understand
the author properly must know the
import of every word :n his lesson be
fore attempting to read it in class.
Mr. M. E. fI'ovnsend then took up
the subject of orthography, and dis
cussed the sounds and powers of let
letters Itelicited a lively discussion.
The class drill was made one of in
terest; all agreeing that pupils should
be thoroughly trained and drilled on
phonetics. Some difference of opin
ion with respect to the sounds of let
ters, owing to the study of different
authors.
S. W. McGrew then illustrated his
method of teaching grammar to ad
vanced students. Quite an interest
was manifested in the discussion on
natural language, Mr. Ewan takiug
exception to the idea as taught in
grammar, and defended his position
ably, advancing sound argument. Of
course the teachers defended their po
sition, as every teacher that follows
Clark must teach the idea of natural
language; all expressing a willing
ness, however, that if it could be es
tablished that there is no such thing
as natural language, they would con
cede the point and abandon the er
ror. The afternoon exercises concluded
with an "Experience Meeting," in
which eacli teacher present had the
privilege of stating ins failings and
asking for advice. It was made a
meeting of interest to all present.
The institute took a recess until 7
o'clock i. M. It would be well to say
that such a deep interest prevailed
that recess for dinner was overlooked
entirely.
Saturday evening, 7 o'clock. Ex
ercises opened with singing. Prayer
by Chas. Blodgett, after which an
other "Ciphering Match" ensued,
with M. E. Townsend and E. Leak
as captains. Nearly all present par
ticipated and enjoyed the exercise,
but the richest part of it was to see
the old men exercising their thinking
faculties.
Mr. Townsend proposed the follow
ing question for discussion : "Should
whispering be abolished in theschool
room?" Hon. Chas.Blodgett open
ed the discussion, followed by M. E.
Townsend, G. B. Leak, S. V. Mc
Grew, E. Leak, Plin Ford, Mr. Ewan
and others. The discussion was one
of interest; the question an import
ant one; one well wortli contemplat
ing; one which every teacher should
ponder well and decide by practice.
Upon consultation it was decided to
hold another session at this place,
commencing on Friday evening, Jan
uary 24th, 1S73, and to hold over Sat
urday, it was furthej decided that
the County Superintendent. S. W.
McGrew, should make out and pub
lish a programme of exercises for that
occasion.
Adjourned. We hope to meet ev
ery teacher interested, in this and ad
jacent precincts, at this institute. We
want to have another good time ; an
other season of enjoyment. We want
all the friends to come that possibly
can. We say come one, come all, and
let us consult upon the subject of edu
cation, and the best methods of ad
vancing the cause.

Let us go prepared for the work ;
ready for every duty that ma-y devolve
upon us. We want the friencbto feel
perfectly at home, criticise anytfrf&g"
that may seem wrong or amiss. We"
do not profess perfection, and are al
ways ready to learn. We want to
learn all we can and do all tho good
we can ; we want to keep our lamps
trimmed and burning, and our vessels
filled with oil.
Wo hope the teachers will be
prompt on time. They have our
heartfelt gratitude for their hearty
co-operation, a3 well as tho other
friends that assisted in making the
last institute a success. We also
thank our friends from Otoe and
Johnson counties for their aid, trust
ing they will be able to meet with us
again. Let us work together; let us
feel the responsibility of our work.
So come out as early as you can on
Friday evening.

Smoking and chewing tabaccos in

Peru, December 2S, 1S72.
Early on Christmas Eve the chil
dren began to gather at the district
school house for the purpose of see
iug what old Santa Claus tad put on
the Christmas tree for them.
At early lamp lighting Miss Plum
mer's room was filled with little chil
dren and big children, while Santa
Claus, with his nice presents, occu
pied Prof. Jambertson's room, where
he was busily engaged in arranging
them on his Christmas tree.
Speeches were made by Dr. S, M.
MeGrew, D. C. Cole, S. P. Majors and
Prof. Lambertson. The children
seemed to enjoy this first rate, yet
they were more anxious to take a sly
peep into the other room.
In due time the teachers made the
announcement to pass into the other
room and see the Christmas tree, and
all hands passed. Hero we viewed a
fine Christinas tree, such an one as
Santa Claus alone can get up. As it
had all kinds of looking tilings on it,
from a baby to a wooden razor. After
a while old Santa Claus (better known
a3 D. C. Cole) climbed the tree and
began to distribute the nice presents
to the little folks. They received
them as children alone can receive
gifts, from Santa Clause, with hum
ble sincere gratitude, thanking the
old "feller" for his kindness, and in
viting him back again on New Years
Eve. After the presents were distrib
uted, the little sacks of candy, the
apples and the popped corn were scat
tered among the young urchins, who
caught them accurately.
The occasion was a pleasant one,
and will be remembered for one year
at least.
Prof. Lambertson and Miss Emann
Plummer have our earnest thanks for
their untiring efforts in managing the
affair; in looking after the finances
to procure the necessary candies, &c. ;
also, the little girls that done the can
vassing. Thauks, also, to Mr. Geo.
Ashley, D. C. Cole and others for their
efforts in making the enterprise a suc
cess. And last, but not least, we
thank old Santa Claus for our pres
ents, &c, wishing that ho will re
member us next Christmas again.
