In tho middle of the forenoon, n llook of wild turkeys passod near tho schoolhouse, upon which tho wild instincts of our scholars were manifested by a general stampede; and an exciting J foot-race, bows and arrows In hand, was at one entered upon, In which, ns j ivilnrlif 1 io ?

No truth in vital statistics is better established than the fact that largo citioa and u dense population t?ud to diminish th3 physical energies of tho body and shorten human life. Then, tho increasing uso of alcohol In its various forms, and especially of tobacco among young men, must have a pernicious inllucnce upon physical organization. 1 tut it is in the accumulated, tho iutensilled olTeet produced oy tno law or inheritance, that tho most sti iking and destructive results aro to ho witnessed. Could the oyils of alcohol, tobacco and opium, as transmitted by hereditary influence, bo fully realized, what more powerful motives would ho presented for a reform in their use, or for their absolute prohibition? Wo believe the fact is generally admitted that there is nconstant increase in tlie iuso of stimulants and narcotics throughout the country; that this question is settled, beyond controversy, by t ho greatly increased manufacture and sale of these articles. No true physiologist who understands tho torriblo effects of theso poisons on the system, and their transmission to tho second, third and fourth generations, can look on such a stnto of things without apprehending tho most serious results." - I ! ^ A COUKACKOl'S WOMAN. r'- ' Mr. Moses Fogg, a wealthy farmer, lives u mile from Oorham Villngo, Kfo.

He appeared very anxious to sec him, and wanted Mrs. Jcwctt to go down and call him. She refused, and told the fellow she could not talk with him any longer, and shut tho door in his face. "While the lady was talking she thought she heard someone upstairs, so sho wont directly to her room, and taking a pistol, stepped into nn. other room, whore suro enough sho was confronted by a huge, ugly-looking man, who was endeavoring to soorete himself in a closet.
