Mr. Editor. Permit me to call
the attention of your readers to tho
SaMi'itlt Srliool Convention to be held
at Wilcox on May 8th, und Olh.
It is now conceded by the large ma
jority in all Christian lands that Sab
bath Schools open the most effective
field for the efforts of the wise und
good iu training children uud youth
for usefulness iu this world und hap
piness in the world to come, und that
such efforts ure worthy of Patriots
Philanthropists and Christians. If
our uitus reach no farther than the
present life, the history of Bible in
structions sliows that that the young
imbued with its truths become more
useful citizens, ure worth more to
themselves, their friends, and tho
community, than those who neglect
such knowledge. If, however, we look
beyond this, and would have our
children copy the example, imitate
the high, pure, benevolence, live tlie
truthful, earnest, conscientious, life of
Christ the Saviour, und thus prepure
for the enjoyments to which Chris
tians look in the future world, then
the Sabbath School opens before us
the Appian Way to reach these results.
As iu the schools for ordinary edu
cational purposes, and Institutes for
learning the most approved methods
of teaching and progress, found to
be of the highest value, so Conven
tions uud Institutes, to awaken inter
est, give information, teach teachers,
inaugurate measures of progress, con
dense efforts, and extend the influence
of Bible truth, have been found of in
estimable importance in Sabbath
School work. Let the citizens of Elk
county conic together ut Wilcox and
give those two days to this important
work. The people of Wilcox ay to
their friends, the "Latch Siring" of
our doors shall be found outside.
Come one, Come all.

Speculators have taken advantago
of war rumors to force breudstuffs up
to u high figure. On Saturday wheat
jumped up to 2,05 per bushel ut
Toledo. At Erie the relative price is
ubout v'2,13, und the Dispatch says the
indications ure that it may go still
higher. On Saturday the price of
Hour in Williumsport was advanced to
if 11 per barrel, und dealers expect a
still further advance. While bread-
slull's and provisions are tending up
ward, efforts are made in all direc
tions to reduce the price of labor.
With such a condition of things tho
prospects for.the poor Is anything but
encouraging. With Hour ut 911 per
barrel and labor reduced to $1 per day
the struggle for existence becomes a
serious one.
