Stacy, Editor ond Proprietor)' Habteriptian Price: $1 per Annum in Advance WEDNESDAY, APltlL 21, 1875. “PLAYIN’ WINWANCK.” Til#?, above caption i« the name of a game at marbles, played by the young lads of our town. As a public journal ist wo feel forced to show up this game in its true light, ns we see it. The play is nothing less than gambling “in embryo” and, if allowed to continue, will result in anything but good to our children. If we expect them to iill [ positions of usefulness in after years we must look well to their morals whilst in the formation state, other wise they grow up addicted to vices which render them unfit for positions of trust, nnd ostracised from society. Parents, you can’t be too careful in training your children—mind now, we did not say too strtct but too careful, for we hold that overstrictness is rather dangerous policy, tending to make children restive and to sigh for the day when they can shake off parental ontliority nnd be their “own man.” Now this “playin’ winnance” is, we think, one of the many evils we should strive to discountenance in our chil dren, as it tends to cultivate a spirit of avaricuusness in them, the general result of which will be making gam blers of many. The game has been forbidden at the public school but is still practised in our streets. Look to it fathers and mothers.' [communicated.] Mr Editor : We are delighted to see the clean face of your last issue; it speaks well for the future. I have placed it on die with my other gems, feeliug that in time it will prove to be one. I am pleased to see you go on with your little sheet, independent of the 3lurs and remarks made by those who set themselves up for critics without a knowledge of the principles of criti cism. We hope you are uot too old to remember that, “Tall oaks from little acorns grow,” aud that the grand and lofty Andes arc composed of small grains of sand, that the vast canopy of night is set with myriads of little lights, which lend their feeble beams to light the weary traveller on his way. We will be delighted to see it unfold its wiugs to an upward flight and soar among the greatrr lights of the Literary World. We give it our best prayers, and will aid in a pore tangible form. If a man will not, in his own life, make the most of his manhood and good sence, and set forth his best pow ers to take care of his family, and benefit Immunity, he ought not expect a happy home nor happiness hereaf- tcr not at least till lie retrieves nnd earns it. Earnest and untiring efforts will bring all that man can claim—joy, love, blessings, home and Heaven. The death and sufferings of a l! the Christs „v*r conceived, will not save one soul who does not, by honest work, persist ent effort aud a life of honesty save itself. Personal effort, like waves of the ocean, will spread and roll forever; it is not in the powor of man to stop it or to kill its effect It is our hum ble intention, so far as our feeble ef forts con go, to assist in carrying out your plan of establishing another first- class paper in our little “City by the Sea," and hope to occupy' a small niche m the mass of your periodical literature. Yottr venture is now before the public, and whatever be your merits or demerits, we hope all will give you credit for an honest effort. You have made your bow, and read your saluta tory, now seize your pen—and to the fight: make the little sheet the future cricket of every hearth. More anon.

Moore, that on Sunday-night hist, his vegetable garden was entered by some person or persons, unknown, and a small quantity of vegetables, such as onions etc., stolen therefrom. It would seem from this that these snealt-thieves have begun their nocturnal depreda tions quite early in the season, and we would suggest to Mr. M. that, in our opinion, the most effectual way of preventing a repetition of the same would be to “set” for these rascals and whenever they are found inside his enclosure after night-fall to give them a cordial welcome in the shape of a heavy charge of “blue whistlers” just behind the bur of the ear. —On Saturday morning last the roof of McConn’s Hall took fire from sparks from an adjacent chimney.
