If some of the fashionable young labies of
Athens should follow the example set by
Mrs. N. C. HARRIS, they would display the
eolor of health in their faces and add to the
biauty and cleanliness of their homes, and
the street-gazers would see less of them, and,
too, they would cxamplify the old song,
"Who will care for mother now?" Girls
don't keep the old woman out of the kitchen
nor from cleaning the front yard in this age j
of the world, much.
Miss I'KTRIE, daughter of the Presbyterian
minister at Barclay, was one of the compe
titors for the "Hall Prize," offered the young
lady students of the Elmira College for the
best pollitical essay. Her production is thus
noticed in the Free Press.
"Scholarship in Politics" that by the award
of the committee stood next to the prize
would do for what is known as a bright
newspaper like the Sun, where the English
language is put in the clearest and most in
cisive style. It was such an article as one
having read would naturally call his neigh
bor's attention to on his way down town in
the morning; after which other newspapers
would take sentences without credit, or copy
paragraphs with commendation. It was cer
tainly the e.-sav of the evening, and it was
read with an emphasis and spirit that sent its
truth home to its hearers. Its idea was that,
there was too little education or scholarship
among the politicians of our country and so
much ignorance among them, that one was
led to suspect there was "a special providence
lor ignorance, drunkenness and the United
States.'

A horse thief was arrested in Fall Brook

tion, the communion was administered.
To-morrow the school directors of the coun
ty will meet in this place for the purpose of
electing a county superintendent for the com
ing three years. It is matter of congratula
tion that the present incumbent, Prof. RYAN,
has given such universal satisfaction, and the
schools show such uniform improvement and
advancement under his administration, that
he is the only candidate for the position. It
is entirely safe to predict that the educational
interests of the county will receive such an
impetus during Mr. RYAN'S second term as
to place us in the front rank in the Depart
ment of Education. We hope for the credit
of the county there may not be a dissenting
voice to his election.
