Prz directors of the McKean County
ttgrictiltural Society', have decided to in
troduce a most novel' feature at the fair
nest , fall. They propose paying the offi
elating minister, and offering 4,handsome
prize to any, couple getting married on
the grand stand during the fair.—Nr.
. There is an idea for our A.:tricultural
Society. In course of time the publicity
of IMptials at a :air would induce en=
tries and by - charging an entrance fee, as
for other stock, it could be made a source
of !revenue. 11y proper attention the
splicing department of a fair might be as
interesting and profitable as the horse
trot or the. calf show, and eien ,Oscar
Wilde would find. it unique enough.
HENRY EItiIARDT, Of Waverly; had 'a
little experience orie night : this week.
Which he doesn't care to repeat: He was

There is 's' blacksmith alio built by the
contractors and now unused, near where
the Erie crosses the high Way; • Four men
stepped out from this, mi . ,' so arranged
themselves that Henry could. neither ad

Tut Athens , :school is troubled by the
boys and girls falling in .love—"terribly
in love," to use theiGasette's expression.
This is, as the dazette says, all wrong.
There is a time for everything, and sch.:ol
hours is Certainly not the time tofall in
love. Boys and ;girls are sent to school
to learn arithmetic, spelling, &c., not t 9
contract youthful amours ; and while
these affairs of the heart may ad d
i to the
fervor with which the pupils repeat some
.or the conjugations - in grammar, the
general effect 'is injurious and against

seription of the Red River Volley froni an
old subscriber, formerly_ residing at East
Smithfield : •
' " The valley of the Red River was once,
without donbt, a barren plain covered with
sane hills. which by the stoppage of its
drainage, or by the sinking of the land be z
came a lake. This after long ages filled up
with mud w and other matter fat - above the
highest hills. F.nally, the water was
drained off by the breaking through - of
the present channel of the r.ver•into.Lake
Winnepeg. A vegetable mould several
feet deep has accumulated on tbe bottom
of this dried-up lake, which is very fer
tile; and unsurpassed on the , globe for
raising wheat.
"Twenty miles west of thek river the
old sand hills begin to crop ou n , forming
ridges where the soil is more thin 7 not
more'than eighteen inches thick, bit:be
een the ridges the land is good and soil
deep. The farther you go from the river
the more sand you find, and the less good
land.
" Water is found hi abundance every
where, at a depth of from twenty to fifty
feet, but so impregnated with alkali as to
be very disagreeable 'to the taste and
smell, and entirely unfit for washing pur
poses. -4" •
Good pure flowing : water is, found al

a - depth of from one hundred to two bun.

dead, brought from the fields of their
glory, where they fell in the battle's

from their campaigns to be "mustered
out," and to sleep their last sleep amidst
the scenes of - their childhood, among

GARFIELD MONUMENT.
SUBSCRIPTIONS RECEIVED DECORATION
QM
' To the People through the Press:
At the last rrieeting of the Society of the
Army of the Cumberland, it was proposed
that under its 'auspices there should be
erected in the city of Washington a statue
or monument in mergory of our former
comrade, the late President James Abram
Garfield. W4l that end in view, a com
mittee was appointed ay Lieutenant-pen-
Oral P. H. Sheridan. president of. the so
ciety, which organized and proceeded to
work, and it is with much pleasure that
the committee announce that its efforts
have area with such liberal res:ronse - from
all parts of the country as to warrant the
assurance that the work will be consum
mated.
The question now is, and to' you we
Submit it, shall the statue be such an one
as we can build with the-funds on hand,
or will you come to ou► aid in such a man
ner of to enable us to erect a work of art
in size,,design, and workmanship In keep
ing with the glorious name with 'Which it
will forever be associated, as well as an
ornament to, our already magnificent cap,
ital city. It .is proposed that the work
whin °completed.' shall, be no longer the
:property of the !!society, but be formally
transferred through their Chief Magis
trate to theprople of the United States to
be a monument of their affection for all
En
We therefore present : to you the oppor
tunity to unite with us in the work, and
thereby enable us-to make the structure
in every respect worthy the name of
Americu'iforemost people. To that end,
we reque - st, that on the 30th instant, a day
when all hearts turn it: love and grateful
remembrance to . the soldiers of • the Re
public, and we strew their graves with
flowers, that a feature of that day shall be
the offering and soliciting of contributions
to the end set forth. But few can enjoy
the privilege of placing a flower on his
grave on De'cbration Day; but all can con
tribute the icost of one, and thereby en
able us to stimulate ,geniis and exhaust
art in the endeavor to plant here a statue
that will testify to. men of all time the
great love the people bore him.
It is the desire of the committee that
this work be general; one in which all
the people can take' part 'without feeling it
to be a tax ; and it is therefore 'suggested
that no coatrilnition from any one person
on that day shall exceed one dollar.
The press and, postmasters throughout
the country will receive and forward sub
scriptions ; or, if preferable, a committee
of citizens may take charge of the- work
under such plans as they mar deem most
efficacious. Iu either case it Is desired,
that a complete list..of-subscribers be kept,
as all subseription liareq' . as well as copies
of pa'4tra publishing the 'same, are de
sired . for deposit in the corner-stone of
the statue, and will be carefully : retained
for that purpose.

OBITUARY.
. EDITOR :—Wo desire through thoi
columns ofjour excellent .paper to give
as Welly as, possible, a.sketch of the lite
and death of our beloved
. brother, D. T.
Gillett.
.The subject of our narrative lias born
August Mb, 1821. Married 'to Miss V!-
anna Kilmer, daughter of Jeremiah ant
Dhristina•Kilmer, on the ad day of May,'
1846. During the same year he settled in
Ghent, commenced hoitse-keeping in, as
little log cabh there being but one acre:
of hialand cleared, and nut a bOuse to be'
seen. The surioundiug country was a
dense forest, where aim are fine farms.
pleasant homes. Notwithstanaing all
these disadvantages, and the poverty of
his early life, be was ever content and,
happy, and by, perseverance and toil he
accumulated muoli of this world's goods,
and, best of ali t trinch : of that wealth that
perisheth not; •
. He departed this life, :!larch 22d, 1882,
leaving the devoted wife a his youth and .
four children, two 801319 and two daugh
ters, to mourn the loss of a devoted hus
band and altiud father, yet . not without
hope, for they all are trusting in that
same Jeans, in whom he flusted,,and ,are
worthy menibers of - the same church.
Brother Gillett was coverted in the year
1849, and united with the 11.. E. Church
then composed of twenty-seven members,
meeting for worship a little plank,
school-house, near where now stands a
beautiful church., Ho was always very
much attached to the church, and was a
faithful devoted Christian, always labor
ing with a will attd - filling successfully
many important positions in the church,
ever wielding an influence that was sure
to result . in good to the community.
Nearly one-half of his life since his con-
version be has been Superintendent of the
Sunday School, and under his supervision
a large and flourishing school has been,
built' p. He has been class leader for
the • past twenty-eight piars. May the•
precepts :and examples be gave us lead us
ou toward that land we -often heard
him speak about, where the 3viekoil cease
from troubling and the weary are - at rest:
As a church we mourn,- for in him we
have lost a wise counsellor and faithful
member who 4 Joss
. is severely felt. As
a community we mourn _the loss of a so
cial friend, a kind neighbor, a quiet,
peaceable citizen.
