ry school bouse thst we so badly
need, and are determined to have.
In the first place a meeting was
called, and a committee appointed
to get up subscriptions. Iu rais
mg tlie necessary funds, we had
much to contend with. We had
croakers who contended that it
was too much of an nndertikiag
for Coleman, and then another
class that would uot subscribe a
single cent until convimet be
yond a doubt, that it would not
prove a failure. Our progress
was impeded, but not stopped,
and by tlie liberality of a few of
our citizens, we will have our acad
emy completed by (if not before)
the first day of January next; and
with the corps of teachers we now
have in view, and wi h music, as
well as all other branches taught,
we will certainly have one of the
finest schools in the country; and
as we mentioned lietore, we do not
think better moral or religious in
fluenccs can lie found in the State,
than can be found here at Cole
man's. Our teacher, Mr. Cruin-
bley, has given universal satisfac
tion, not a single complaint has
ever been made against him. His
pupils all love him, and his pat
rons appreciate his sterling merit'.
And now, Mr. Editor, should
yon not be too busy about the first
of January just take a ride down
this way, and we will show you
one of the nicest academies that
ever decorated a country village.
All of our citizens are willing to
lake hoarders at a mere nominal
sum, just to keep up the school.
Respectfully, Orserver.

llis Feet were Not Empty.
Fiipkins came down to the club
last night with a great probleai
weighing on his mind.
“If I should stand on my head.”
he said coming up to the boys
with the air of a man who has got
a poser, “if I stand on my head
the blood all rushes into my bead,
doesn't it?”
No one ventured to contradict
bim.
“Now,”continued he.triumphaot-
lv, “when I stand on my feet why
doesn't the blood ill rush into
my feet? ’
“Because,” replied Miss Cush-
annigan’s brother, “because. Flip-
kins, your feet are not empty.”

Paper, it is said, is taking the
place of cedar in the making ol
lead pencils. A novel use for pa
per lias been found in the manu
facture of gas pipes. In addi
tion to being absolutely tight and
smooth and much cheaper than
iron, these pipes are of great
strength, for when the sides are
scarcely three fifths of an inch
thick, they will stand a pressure
of more than fifteen atmospheres.
If buried underground they will
not be broken by settlement, nor
when violently shaken or jarred.
The material being a iiad con
ductor of heat, tlie pipes do not
readily Ircczc.

A young fop, thinking to have
some (tin with an Irish porter,
said to him: “Have you heard
the news, Pal?” “And what is
it. sir?” asked the porter. “The
devil is dead.” “Indeed,” ex
claimed the porter; and locking
compassionately at the fop, hand
ed him a nickel, saying: “Poor
boy! Poor boy! Take that, and
iny blessing go with it.” “What
do you mean?” exclaimed the fop.
Why, I'm sorry for the death of
your father, and 1 never let a pom-
orphan go away empty handed,”
replied Pat, with a commiserating
air. The fop hastened away, amid
the jeering laughter of the crowd.

her husbnud ol trying to persuade
her to commit suicide in a man

whereas liy dying at onec she
could leave the family in good

The statement that the United

Mr. A. E. Buck has a better pay-

Since the dawn of creation,
In any civilized nation,
Kissed by the rays of tbe sun
From the earliest consternation,
To the latest intimidation,
This thing has never been done

A city man or a yeoman,
And that is—
