A couple of large photographs which have been on exhibition for several days at the postofflce, have attracted considerable attention.

Enoch Arden" received a good patronage, at the Opera House Wednesday and Thursday evenings, and the large audience were highly pleased with the manner in which the play was rendered, several of the, actors giving evidence of more than ordinary dramatic ability. At the urgent request of many people, the performance was repeated on Saturday evening, at which time the house was well filled, though not crowded as on the previous evenings. The performances were a dramatic, and also a financial success. A witty, pathetic, graphic and amusing story of real, life in au unknown region will be given, under the auspices of the Y. P.

A. of the-Congregational Church, March 2, by Rev. N. E. Barton.

This irresistibly funny lecture, The Wind up of the Big or No Bus'ness." is instructive, and given with a deeper motive than merely to amuse. Mr. Bartou has spent several years as a missionary to the white people of Tennessee and Kentucky mountains and has woven the habits, dialect and oddities of the people of that unfamiliar region into this interesting form. We are informed that a gentleman residing in Rootstown, and a gentleman from Pennsylvania who has been visiting that place during tbe past two weeks, were engaged one day last week in the unlawful pursuit of rabbi is We can hardly credit the story, for have we not a vigilant game warden whose dutyit is to look after violations of the game law And have not many of the good people of Rootstown banded themselves together to prevent unlawful hunting? As this case has not received attention from" either the farmers or tbe vigilant Kame warden, we are forced to conclude that our informant was mistaken. Mrs.

David Boley died at the family residence, in Rootstown township, on Tuesday, the 7th of paralysis, after an illness of about one week, aged 74 years. Mrs. Boley, whose maiden name was Nancy Kline, was born in York Dec 14. 1814, and came to Portage county In 183-5. In 1836 she and David Boley were united in marriage, since which time they have lived upon the farm where she died.

She was the mother of six shildren, only two of whom survive. Her funeral was held on Thursday, Rev. N. Pahzgroff, ol the Reformed Lutheran Church, of which society the deceased was a member, officiating. An elegant program is being prepar ed for tbe second series of Home College Entertainments, under the aus pices of tbe Guild.

The second of the series will occur on Wednesday eve ning March 14th, entitled An Eve ning with the Poets," accompanied with music, 4c.

Lucy H. Neff was born in 8uffleld October 20, 1831. With her parents she moved to Brimfleld when about five years old. March 4, 1859, she and Hiram G. Briggs were married.

She i died February 14, 1888, leaving her i three children, and a host of of relatives and friends to mourn the dpuijre of a truly good woman, modern Kilry vn. :1 unianl ty and Christianity. Last Sunday evening, in the Universalist Church, a full congregation listened to an able and interesting lec-tire on this subject. Rev. Mr.

Willson spoke without notes, and in a very kind and Christian spirit. Gratefully and emphatically did he recognise the fraternal disposition manifested toward him and his church by many in other denominations. He said that the history of religion ii not always pleasant reading. Frequently and severely has tbe spirit of bigotry been manifested. In the name of Christ many of the worst crimes against anity have been committed.

But (he world is growing better. The old methods of torture are no longer tolerated. And yet bigotry, social, political and ecclesiastical, still ex. sis. It has recently been exhibited in Portage county, in refusing to open churches for funerals, because a Uui versalist minister was to preach It has been manifested in excluding Universalists from Union Thanksgiving meetings, and in professing to arrange for Union Temperance meetings, yet taking the precaution to exclude at least one pastor and his church.

Orthodox clergymen are unwilling to have religious associations with Uuiversalists, and one minister went so far as to advise his congregation not to encourage or countenance the Universalist Church. Some of this bigotry is inherited, some is the result of education, and much is caused by a narrow, lalse and dying theology, that is afraid of the light a theology that rests upon as sumption rather than everlasting truth that Dr. Hodge, the distinguished Princeton theologian, says is Not a System of Common Sense but of profound and awful mystery." Not one distin guishing fundamental principle of this theology can be thorougbly embodied in life without incurriug the condemnation of the civilised world. And when orthodox ministers stand by the impenitent dead their creeds are pow erless for comfort. If they furnish any consolation to the mourners they have to borrow it from Universalisui.

Yet this theology that cannot be lived, and that is dumb in tbe presence of sorrow, assumes to plaoe a flaming sword at the gate of the kingdom of Christ, saying to all who do not and cannot acept it, you caunot enter. This bigotry, wherever it exists, Is tbe foe of humanity and Christianity. An honest difference of opinion should not make enemies. We should always respect honest convictions. Mr.

Will- son said that he could say God bless you," to all churches that be had tried to treat all with courtesy, and was ready to work in all honorable ways for the helping of humanity. Every, man made better by other churches, helps make Universalism true in fact. He exhorted his church to be true and loyal to conviction, to be courteous and friendly to all, not to be bigots but Christians, and seek to make the Church a still greater power for helping men live, and for comforting the bereaved and sorrowing. i His iioin'OK's Geo.

"Listen: When tliat girl began the giddy whirl of the dance in the ballroom that was the time to get scared.

When yon found your boy spending more money than he ought, that was the time to get shocked. "Sow cards and reap gamblers. I know I'm called a transcendcntali'M. and called a Puritan, but God save iuv faniily from cards and profanity, anil whisky and dances, and let thevorld call me what it will. "Sow parlor dances and i-tAp ballrooms and reap round dances.

Sow round dances and reap dudes and dudines. Sow dudes and dudiues and reap half a thimbleful of calves'-foot jelly. (Applause aud laughter renewed again and again.) I wish you wouldn't laugh any more to night, for I never felt so solemn in my life. For God's sake hear me a solemn ity and earnestness worthy of the cause. But you say 1 say so many funiir things.

If you only knew ow niaifv I have to keep back youwoulln't blame me for the few which creep out. "Hear me, boys, sirls. vonny hi. lies of Kansas City! I used to dance. I've dauced many a night with the girl of my town.

Hear uie. If I was a til- average dancing man, and I think i was. then no pure girl can go out en the floor and dance another set. (A voice, 'Hurrah! Young woman if you could but follow the young man, after he has seen you home, to some barroom or club and hear the discussion of your form and person and your virtue itself, you'd never lose your respect and go on a baliroom floor. (Sensation.) The dudes get mad at me in some places and talk about wanting to slap my jaws.

But I say, to their credit, they know better than to slap. I'm not afraid to drop down into a hundred acres of dudes and not a thing to light with and all of them armed with six-shooters. (Laughter.) The tendency of the nineteenth century is to dudeism. You dress a young buck out, part his hair in the middle, put on au eyeglass, give him pants which look as though his legs had been melted and poured into 'em, put on toothpick shoes, and every girl in the town admires him. (Prolonged merriment.) God help you, girls, I'd rather see my daughter dead to-night than sitting "in a parlor a dude.

(Applause.) The good Bishop of New York says the confessional shows that nineteen out of wenty girls meet their downfall in the ballroom. "In all my observation 1 never knew a poor, ruined woman who did not go to ruin through tbe ballroom and the theatre. A woman who has lost her character has lost all, but the boy is lionized by society. If there's one deeper, blacker hell than another, it's for the man who crushes puritv and virtue nnder his unhallowed feet. (Applause.) The only thing in the world which deserves a double-barrelled shotgun and a load of buckshot is such a man.

"A round dance is an anteroom to damnation. I uever want to see the arm of a lecherous man around the waist of my wife or daughter. I ape no man. I'll be mvself, be true to myself, and true to truth. All I want to do is to staud on the barrel, knock the bung out, and let nature cut her capers.

(Applause and laughter.) I may be an idiot and a fool. but if I not an idiot and a fool, you better think of these things." French Speaking Statesmen. Many of the leading statesmen are good French scholars. Kdnumds reads French easily. Hoar has many French books in his library.

Allen (r. Thin-man's amusements lie in the reading of French novels and John Sherman's library is full of foreign books of finance, and he reads Ihe French, thouo-li he does not sneak it. Thur- man learned the French at. the same time he learned to snuff. It was when be was a boy.

A French professor, who had a very pretty daughter, asked Thurman's mother to take charge of the girl, and she did so on the condition that the professor would give young Allen French lessons. Prattling with the maiden and taking lessons of the professor he got a foundation in the lauguage which is not surpassed by lhat of any of onr public men. The old professor snuffed aud the boy begged pinches of the titillating powder between the sentences, and thus acquired the habit, which has stuck to him through life, and which, added to his big nose aud the gorgeous handkerchief which he uses to wipe it, has given him the title of "Knight of the Bed Bandana."
