We would like to particu larise, but time and spans will not permit and where all done so wad it would be hard to do so without mentioning all i^offlee to say it was an entertainment of -which Prof. Burger has ju«*«siae to fed proud, and shoatd he ever gflfc apanother COUNTY TrtBAiumsB Pmut was ."O' from Woodstock on Friday !a«t- Mas.

For the benefit of the uninitiated it may bw explained that a$ a clipping party a small object is suspended by a string from the ceiling and then, one after another, the members of the company present are blind-folded, given a pair of scisors and started to­ ward the suspended object. If the blind­ folded person succeeds in cutting the string well and good; it not a forfeit must be paid. NEVEB let your honest convictions be laughed down. You can no moreexercine your re ison if you live in constant dreud of ridicule than you can enjoy life if you live in constant fear of death. If you think it right to differ, from the times, and make a point of morals, do it--not for indolence, but seriously and gravely, as if a man carried a big soul of his own in his bosom, and did not wait until it was breathed into him by the breath of fashion. Be true to your conviction, and in the end you will not only be respected by the world, but have tie approval c f your own conscience.

The particulars, as we learn them are those: Abont one o'clock in the morn­ ing, the clerk, John Stoffel, who sleeps over 1 lie store, heard someone attempt-. ing to raise the window in the rear of the atore below. He immediately jumped out of lied and ra»«l the window light over where the would-be burglar waa at work, but it being froxen down it made so much noise us to frighten the scoun­ drel, who ran, lollowed by the contents of Stsoffel's revolve!*, but probably with­ out effect, as he made good his escape. On investigation it was found that he had first ont a hole in the rear door large enough to admit his hand, .probably thinking he could unlock or unbolt the door, but fortunately the key had been removed. He then turned his attention to the window and after cutting out a light of gMss turned the fastener, hut th • window being frozen down lie did not \ succeed in raiting it before he was dis­ covered by 8t< >fM.

I don't know who was the leader ol^the show outside, as I am unacquainted with most of them, but I should think their leader should be the City Marshal (if he lias time to attend to it) and the proper place to have them would be in the lock up and give them a night's lodging which they well earned ONE WHO WASTWEKE.

As THK whirligig of time 'WVlifif rjftjrffid and the world grows older, people seem to grow younger in their mode of living. In days gone by a woman of twenty-five had turned the corner of old-maiden-hood At thirty the married women put. on caps and at forty were spoken of as being old. Sixty years was I honght a good old tut« and those beyond that njfe were consid- e~ed somewhat superanuated. With a man; if at ftftv he had neither made his mark or his fortune, there was nothing left for him but to retire from active life and wait for the call of the great Reap*r Death. At the present day, however, the mat ter of years is not considered in his struggles and aims! Young thoughts triumph over the burdeu of years, and few stop to think of their age when about to start a new enterprise in which their interests are centered. It is a good thing to forget birthdays and p>ivate anniver­ saries, as then we are reminded of the flight of time and led to think we are growing old. To he snre, people have not yet arrived at that dtateof perfection tha+ they need not die, but all can be young in heart' until the day of death, and find new pleasures in life and in living. It does not pay to allow one's self to grow old. A well founded belief in everlasting youth keeps the wrinkles and the crow's feet at bay, and |>ersisting in being young wards off the pains aud the aches of Old age--each day seems blighter than the preceeding, and we only feel glorified ho thinkye are a day's march nearer home.
