We deny all claim to suck a fowl as the tur­ key. We belfeve that feathered crea­ ture to be a rambler in its habits, and the people of this district are industri­ ous, kind-hearted in every way,shape or m*nuer you may take them, so if we are not mistaken they will have to find a more appropriate set to give that term to. And further, they would have folks believe they have got all the grit in tlie country, as they stated that Turkey street was well represented at the Riugvvood exhibition, but it took Spring Grove grit to face Hie storm If it took their grit to face the storm why didn't they show a little of it when Scott's concert troupe was there; which had the largest combative bump then; where did the pietuie go* We need not say. They are posted. After this we wish they would run their own burg. When we want anything pub­ lished we will try the petfcil and paper ourselves. And about that Lyceum.

The exhibition given at Washington school house last Ffida>y evening was a complete success, as far as entertaining the large audience was concerned. We n»ay say without fear of contradiction that the entertainment was one of the best. It was a time to be enjoyed by every one present, It eotild not be oth­ erwise with such soul inspiring music and side-splitting scenes. The whole aflalr w»s superiorendedj 11 a masterly manner by the efficient teacher, F. L. Carr, Very interesting toe, to the writer at le^pt, was the singing aud speaking by the little children. We must say the present age is advancing whejr we see a little girl not much taller than the .organ stool stand up and sing before an audience, and a little three- year-old girl step on to the platform, bow ?ud speak her piece. About five weeks ago Mr. Carr and his pupils gave an ei;t«rtaii'.meiit and with the pro­ ceeds of the same Mr. Carr. according to the wishes of his pupils, purchased three handsome lamps and four large a»d beautiful pictures which add very much to the looks of the school room.

The roads are almost impassible pn account of the mud,but those who have to drag through It are consoled by the thought that the break up Is prophetic of Spring.

This genius was a 1*1), robust, durk-favored man, giveu to uioods and tlie harmful consolation that writes ' might have betiu" over the grave of many a good fellow. He taught music in the village, "officiated" In the choir, and dreamet^away a not very long life under the magnificent oaks aud among the gem like lakes in the vicinage. There act other uotable productions from his imagination ip the same strain as the famous song which should im­ mortalize his limine, but they were not caught up by the people, and have goue to their own obliviou, almost nusuug." By the writer, who was for years a neighbor and persoual friend of the distinguished composer, the above was read with mingled emotion of astonish­ ment, amusement and indignation, as 11 must be by all who ever met the golden-haired, falr-complexioned.warm hearted and genial Prof. Joseph P. Webster, who died at Elkhorn a few years ago. The oply thing correct about it is the statement that he was the author of "Sweet By-aiid-By." We may add, though it is almost superflu­ ous, that there are numerous other musical productions of Webster's thdf have not gone aud never will go to "their own oblivion, almost unsung,"-- "Lorena."
