When a town ceases to grow it commences to die, and if the people try to kill each other in their busi ness and good names, the more rap idly will utter ruin como to all. Stand together for tho advancement of every citizen. If a man shows ability to prosper, do not pull him back through jealousy or weigh him down with cold indifference. Under tho school laws of Penn sylvania the authority of a teacher in directing the conduct of a pupil in his or her charge begins when the child departs from its home for school and only ends when it returns again to that abode. Whoso doubts, let him examiuo tho little white-cov ered book which contains the school laws of tho State. On Thursday afternoon last, Mr, William McPhersou, of WeikertSta tion, Union county, went hunting for rabbits.

A country editor who takes an un usual view of the approaching win try weather, bewuils the hazardous condition of his wearing apparel in the following delicate manner : "Lives of great men oft remind us honest toil don't stand a chance, more we work we leave behind us bigger patches in our pants. Oh those pants once new and glossy, now aro patched with many a hue all because subscribers linger, will not pay us what is due. Then let them bo up and doing, send your mite tho1 be it small, or when snow of winter strikes us we shall have no pants at all." Editors who receive complimen tary tickets to county fairs and other places are often looked upon as deadheads, but the managers of the Henry county, Ohio fair, who have had some experience in such matters, had the following printed upon the complimentary tickets they issued : "Thin ticket, probably, has been paid for ten times over by the paper to which it is issued. It will bo hon ored in the hands of any man, wo man or child, white, black, red or yellow, who favors the association by presenting it. It is good for en trance and grand stand, and the bearer, if driving, will be entitled to pass a team free. The association recognizes the fact that its splendid success is owing largely, if not whol ly, to the not ices so freely given by the press, and while we cannot ren der an equivalent in ash, we return our grateful thanks." Tho Srientiflc Americnnhwi week published an illustration of the im mense rabbit hunt which took place at Wildtlower, Fresno county, Cali fornia, on March last. In relation to tho hunt it says : The mound of slain at tho end of the drive was five feet deep, twenty feet wide, and forty feet long, and contained twelve thousand dead rabbits, the largest and most successful drive ever made in California. These vermin have become so numerous and destruc tive to tho fanners, that tho whole sale extermination of them is impera tive. It is estimated that five rab bits consume as much as one sheep. They arc particularly fond of young grape vines, fruit trees, corn and other grain. This drive was made by stretching fine wire netting about three feet high and seven miles in length, V shaped, terminating at the smaller end in a circular corral into which tho animals were driven and readily killed with stout sticks.
