During the holiday seasonâ€"which is also the season of church anniversaries and tea meetingsâ€"the hands in a print- ing oflice are generally kept as busy as the'clerks in a. grocery on Christmas Eve; and, therefore, it is no wonder that, occasionally, things are done that ought not to be done and things are left undone that ought to be done. W The Salvation Army. Since last week’s Gazette appeared, the. strictures therein on the objection- able features of the Salvation Army have been two or three ttmes spoken of, and of course condemned, by the local ofilcers, who seem to think that we are actuated by enmity to the organization, and, consequently, are a long,r way elf being “well sexed.” Although, when the Army first invaded Fcnelon Falls, the strangenesset’ its proceeding shock- ed. not a few, the. belief that its object CAMPBELL la GAMBLE, THE. CHEAP CASH ere-RE. I AM new READY for the. Summer trade, having enlarged and added more building and space for my increasmg trade, I, have now 1111- lines of ' friends as well asseveral recruits; but the growing conviction that the one great aim and object of its existence is new to fill the pockets of its founder and a few of his chief coadjgutors is causing a great reaction, and the Army is rapidly sinking in public estimation. This week we have neither time nor space for the evidence that has been of- fered us by cx-menibers and others in support of the allegation that money is the principal object of“ head quarters," and we can only point to the fact that on. Saturday, Sunday and Monday next three concerts are to. be given here by 0. Salvation minstrel troupe, and that at all of them,there is to be a charge for admission. As a matter of course, the entertainments will bewell patronised ; andâ€"equally as a matter of courseâ€"al- most all the receipts will be carried off by some distinguished visitor or an- other. Meanwhile, the objectionable utterances we gave samples of last week are continued nightly in. the barracks; the names that all professing Christians except Salvationists speak with rever- ence are aliny mouthed with startling familiarity; and “ hell and damnation ” are freely hurled at all who decline. to join Booth’s Irregulars, and devote themselves to the advancement of his pecuniary interests.

The Lindsay model school has closed, and those who attended it from here applied for schools and all have been engaged. Mr. John R. Ingramis to teach the Argyle school in Eldon. Mr. B. H. Maybee and Miss Browu have been reeengaged for another term. They are good teachers and the trustees know it so well that they are not willing to let them go. But, unfortunately, the teachers do not seem to have any con- trol over the pnpi‘s after they get out of the school-house, for they, (the chil- dren) have taken the contract of des- . troying the church and the shed.
