The dd Quarterly Meeting for the Oxford Circuit was held last Saturday and Sunday at Salem tliturch. It was an interesting t.rcasion. On the Sabbath $78,- UO was raised in the congrega t'on for missionary purposes. At the Masonic Picnic at Clem c it Grove on the 25th inst., the h'uXNn will be represented by Miss E, P. Smith, our regular canvasser. We bespeak for her the co-operation of our friends in that section in securing addi tions to our subscription list. The North Carolina Press As sociation met at Waynesville last week. Por the ensuing year H. A. Iiondon, was elected Pres ident; James A. Robinson, Pale- mon John, and Joseph Daniels, Vice Presidents; Jordan Stone, Secretary and Treasurer; Prank Vaughan Assistant Secretary; G. S. Bradshaw, Orator; and Theo. H. Hill, Poet. It has ever been the good for tune of Oxford to be blessed with schools of superior excellence. It •till maintains its standard of reputation in this regard, and notable among the literary in stitutions here c’aiming a part of the )>ubUc patronage is the Oxford Home School over which presides the accomplished Mrs John W. Hays, a lady admirably qualified tor the position she fills both by natural gifts and an en larged eiq>erience. See adver tisement. We direct attention in this is sue of the Pbisnb to the adver tisement of Buffalo Lithia Springs of which Col. Thomas P. Goode 18 proprietor. The extra ordinary value of the Buffalo Lith^.a Water as a curative agent for vaiious maladies to which it is adapted is vouched for with out a dissenting voice by the medical profession wherever its virtues have been tried—the moat distinguished medical geu- Unmb Herth and South hear We wish for more in life, rather than more o/it. Chinese proverb: “Never rub your eyes except wit:-, your el bows.” Eating between meals is not so unhealthy as drinking between drinks. When you bury old animosi ty never mind putting up a tomb stone. To one who means good (here can be nothing more offensive than suspicion. There is a right and a wrong way of Tabbing a man’s mind, as well as a cat’s back. I slept, and dreamed that life was beauty; I woke, and found that lite was duty. A^trike twice in a place, and you will cut the log off, you will drive the nail in, you will succeed. The real object of education is to give ohiidren resources that will endure as long as life endures. If a student convince you that yon are wrong and he is right, ackno-riedge it cheerfully, and— hug him. I can easier teach twenty what good to be done than, be one of the twenty to follow my own teaching. Read and ponder: ‘‘Bad books are worse than bad words. Like evil deeds, they mold the thought and ill of future generations.” If an untruth is only a day old it is called a lie; if it is a year old it is called a falsehood; but if it is a century old it is called a legend. A Fall River girl, earning a sal ary of $3 a week, has fallen heir, ess to $150,000. We never noticed it beh.re, but she is very pretty. A good farmer is better than a poor doctor, and a good horseshoer is better than a bishop who preach es sermons that nobody wants to hear. It IS a rare thing that a man is written down by his enemies, but it often happens that he is written down by himself. The eminence of their tcholars commend the memories of school masters to posterity, who other wise, in obscurity, had been alto gether forgotten. Man reigns by employing one- half of the animals to master the other. So the political art cons sists in cutting the people in two, and in dominating one half with the other. A recent writer has said many people regard religion ^ very much as they regard small pox. They desire to have it as light as possi-* ble, and are very careful that it does not mark them. We tell a world, in which the tendency is to exalt material forces, that it is the spiritual for ces, centering in faith in God, that are, after all, to reign. “Oh, mothei! I know it’s all true what the catechism said about Adam’s being made ont of the dust of the earth-“I know it is."” ' “Why?" “Because I saw Auut Em* ma whip Grade, and I saw the dust fly out of her. I know it’s so.” Little Grade had been playing in the ashes. Dear Children : One hour ago I was seated in tLe old arm cliair once occupied by Washington Ir ving in his study at Sunny Side. The books that he handled are on tbe shelves of his-library, and the lamp that threw light over his manuscript still in place with the shade that protected his fine eye as pen inscribed thought. The cottage is on a high hill surround ed by all the beauties in nature. From trunk to top, the trees are grand in their luxuriance, and the graveled paths, intertwined with pines and shrubs from mother earth. Romance and sentiment in the graceful foliage and all the lovely surroundings. Irving’s bust is under the drapery around his library, and looks like a friend of yours in Oxford; even his couch, where tired nature sought repose, is in the place in which he left it. Having enjoyed a rest in General Washington’s chair at Yorktown Centennial, Tasked this privilege in Irving’s study. One was the honored father of his coun try, and the other an accomplished writer and historian of the beauti ful Hudson, where Washington had many gallant exploits. Around the lalticed porch to Irving’s cot tage the Begonia was trained in lofty vine, and the blood-red bloom was falling from the delightful air, fresh from Catskill range over the blue waters of Hudson Bay. As cending an eminence higluu* than your Asylum roof, the view almost transported thought to words UU' known, where, in dreamland, fairy pictures are presented to the mind. Not a ripple upon the glassy sur face of the water, bearing upon its bosom the skiff, the yacht, aud the steamers, in which pleasure seek ers were revelliug to while away the hour. The scene was so en chanting it was hard to say adieu to Irving’s Sunny Side. From there we drove to Jay Gould’s country seat. America’s Railroad king. Around his prince ly mansion and immense consiwva- tory hundi-eds of brilliant gerani ums, lilies aud foliage plants of every hue, with other flowers, covered hill and valley. The lawn, for tennis, was as smooth and rich as if a cover of silk velvet had just been spread in lovely green, and every tree as if art had aided na ture in making tbe perfect form. In the conservatory, which would cover the front of your grove, trees were laden with fruit. The pink tinge of the peach looking very inviting under the glass frame aud grape vines full of lus cions grapes. It was exceedingly tempting aud quickly passed with the fine bay horses that drew the carriage towards Mrs. Terry's home, which can be seen in pho tograph near Oxford. This lovely place is almost too much for my descriptive powers. The avenue, with graceful trees on either sfde, the gardener’s home in a seques tered circle of tall firs, the drive around the beautifully curved hills, with their smooth green surface, the blooming Catalpa aud variety of trees scattering fragrance, al most overpowered the sense of ad miration, and yet with all, the fair hostess guided to a view on the Bay from her elegant mansion that was indescribably beautiful, ex celling all homes in perfect sur roundings yet visited. Every tree was the right shape aud in the right place to excite admiration for the many acres that supported their graceful boughs. As far as the eye could reach the classic Hudson flowed quietly in front of this dwelling and tbe green hills of Nyack. Happiness seems to bloom here in every twig. The Artist’s finest touch adorns the walls and Nature’s store overflow ing in beauty on every side. The benevolent hand of this Christian lady is never idle. Sitting by a lovely aged mother, I found her dressing dolls to send to the mis sionaries in Indii- for little girls, and I am sure if she ever visits the Oxford Orphan Asylum, that all the girls aud boys would be remembered by her. All through her neighborhood poor girls are tauglit by ier to ply their needles for future usefulness, and paid lof the work that is given to them when completed. How ciiarining the life of.those who seek .lie wel fare of others, and sliare liberally with the poor from their bountiful stores. Dear ladies of North Carolina, let us all emulate every noble act of woman’s li (e, wherever it is seen aud exercise every faculty to pro serve oui^)rphau Asylum. Feed aud cluthe the orphans as you have sor.obly done for the last ten years, aud blessings will surely crown your days. Do not let one be sent from it, if by your liand you can feed anl clothe it. 'I'lie poorcliild in Lidia does nut know that fiir hands are working for it, and why not make cur orphans the recipients of a iiortion with which you have been blessed this good Presbyterian lady is do ing for India girls,far, far away. Let the number in tlie Asylum be increased, aud not diminished for want of support, for North Ciii oli- na is too grand an old State to have au' shame attached to lier geuer. ous, noble people. I promise for one, to continue wiiile life shall last to do all that I can to aid the des^ titute chiMreii of my truly loved and honored State, and I appeal to my sisters, (brougU the dea: cliildreu to whom my letter is ad dressed, to make the same ]>l(;dge.

Nolley, who died June 3, 1883; and where as, we heai- with much regret nud heartfelt sorrow of the death of so faithful and well loved sister, who has been an earnest 'Orker in the Master’s Vineyard for more than a half-century. Therefore be it Besolved, 1st, That, we submit to the will of Him who doeth all things well, aud while we shall never meet her again in the Sanc tuary of the Lord, nor the social circle, yet the remembrance ot her noble and self-sacrificing deeds for her family and her kind and sin cere friendship for her ueighliors and friends will never be forgot ten, but will remain as a bright example to us who are permitted to survive her. Renolved, 2nd. fhat. we tender a copy of these resolutions to the family of our deceased sister, with the assurance that our prayers are that they may bear v.ith Christian fortitude their great loss, and that they may be able to say: “Not my will, but thitje be done.” Resolved, 3d. That acopy of these resolutions be sent to the Biblical Recorder, Raleigh, N.O., Orphans’ Fkiend, Oxford, N. C., aud Albe marle Enquirer, Edeutoii, N 0., tor publication. Respectfully submitted, ivi.

BUFFALO LITHIA WATER For Affeetioiis Peculiar to Women ami lor the Stomach. Stone in the Bladder (Uric Acid) “Destroyed by the action of the Water, by means of Solution or Disintegration.” Case of Dr. li. J. Weisiling. Middleton. Pa., stated by himself: “Experience in its ii,se in Stone of the Bladder in my own j)er.son enables me to atte.-t the wonderful oOioiency of tlie Butlalo Lithia Water in this painful malady. After luiving been long f^ubjected to sulTerings, the intensity of which cannot be l«!scribed. I liave, luidei' the iiilluence of this w.ater, passed (lamcon- lldent that I am within the bounds of reason) at lea.^t an omice of Calculi (tJric Acid) some of whicii weiglicd as jiiiioh a.s four grains, affording inexpressible ndief and leaving me in aeoudition of comparative ease aud comfort. I am now passiii; only occasionally smalK'ulcidi, aud they are not attended by the In tense suffering whicli tliclr passage has hitherto occasioned. “On one occasion 1 ()asso.d thirty-live Calculi in forty-eight liours. The ap pearance of tills (.’alculns Nuclei indicates unmistakably, I think, that they were all component particles of one large Calculus, destroyed by the action of the water, by meaii.s of solution and disintegration. At my advanced period of life (T am now seventy-seven y-ars and six months of age) and in my feeble general health., a surgical operation was not to 1 e tliought of, and the water seems to have accomidi.Jshed all tliat sneli an operation, if successful, could liave done. Besides greatly increasing tlie quantity of the Urine, this water exerts a decided influence on its clnmiical con titutloii, rendering it rapi*>l^' neutral, it previously acid, and afterwards alkaline from being liigb-colored, it becomes pale, r.iid having deposited copiously it becomes limpid and transparent.” RliEUItlATIC COLT. (Jase of Dr. •/. A. Hanby, of Potriak C, H., Va., .stated by himself: “For four, years 1 was afliicterl witli Uhonmatic Gout to an extent whieii in capacitated me entirely for tlie discharge of the duties of my profession, and was flually reduced to such aconditiqn as to subject me for the most pait to confiaenieut to my bed. By tlie advice of one of my medical attendants, aud emphatically as a dernier resort, 1 dolermined to muke leie of the Buflalo Lithia Water, Spring No. 2,1 am frank to say without faitli in its virtues, having but little coiilidencc in mineral waters. 'IVic use, however, of a few cases of the water was attended bybenefloial results, so remarkable, that I was soon able to bo out of bed and upon my feet, ami my improvement has continued until 1 am now actively engaged in the pmefice of inv profestion, meeting withmit any unu'iial iucoiiveniencu all tlie exposure and hardship incident to tlie life of a . oiouutain country. I cannot, in caiidor, do otiierwise tlian ascribe my recovery solely to thi.s water, the value, of wliieli 1 .-eganl as beyond estimation.” Dyspepsia, with Suppression of the astsiial Flow, Hypochondriasis, Ac. Case of Miss——, stated by Dr. IFoi. D. Towles, University of Virginia, Member Medieal Society of Virginia: “I was consulted as to the use of tlie BiiftliloLithia Water in the ea.se of Miss . She was sufl'evhig from a distressing form of Dyspepsia, of some two years’ duration, jiale, greatlj' (‘inaeiated. and weighing only .sixty-seven pounds. There was want of appetite, acid eructations, gastric pain after ingestion of al most any article of diet, nausea (the fiiod often rejected by vomiting), consiunp- tioii, ex reme langor, Hypochondriasis, etc. In addition to Dyspeptic symp toms there had been total suppresslovi of the Menstrual Flow for twelve months. Site was put upon the,water and diroetioiis.given as to her diet. For a mouth, perhaps, there was no perceptible ehange in lier condition for the better. Af terwavds, however, improvement was decided, rapid and continuous, and in another month she was free from Dyspcpiia, the Menstrual Flow had been re- establislied, and she left the Springs , weighing 108 paunds and full.y restored to health.” These Springs are Now Open for Ouests. 8^“Water in cases of one dozen lialf gallon bottles, $5.00per cam at the Springs.

A few weeks ago, a man who was hunting on Grand River in Michigan, shot, but did not kill, one of two ducks, which were mates. The hunter sent his dog into the river after the wounded bird, and as the dack could not swim very fast, the dog ap proached it. Seeing its mate in danger, the other duck turned, and swam close to the dog, which at once left the wi.)undod fowl, and started after the unin jured one The latter kept just out of reach of the dog, swim ming s'w iftly towards a place dam. Drawing near the dam the duck was seen to dive un lor water, but the dog passed on over the dam, and was almost drowned. While the hunter was rescuing the deg, both the ducks disappeared. Such cunning may appear extraordinary, but every one familiar with the habits of the wild duck knows that it \r full of just such tricks as the one described. JOHN A. WILLIAMS. OXFORD, N. C.
