The Profession or business that his Rocket will endeavor to discuss the issues in a concise and conservative ambition may mark out for him. It is folly to throw away money on in ferior schools 5?hcn the best instruc tion and training may be had at the University at no greater cost. See advertisement in this issue. Bright Jewels. Mrs. Wood's "Bright Jewel" So ciety gave an entertainment at the Methodist church last Sunday night which was greatly enjoyed by the congregation and visitors present. The little people in nunibers 4filed into the church in the form of a pro cession, and, after inspiring music by the choir and children, the exer cises began. These consisted of recitations of Scripture and Script ural poetry, missionary calls, &c. The children all performed their parts admirably, and the exhibition proved the excellent quality of Mrs. Wood's training. While she, aided by Mrs. J. T. LeGrand, has perfect ed the organization of the Society, other ladies contributed largely to the success of their entertainment. We look for much good to grow out of this movement. vested; but we hear 6f but one fine crop. Mr. Peter Mcintosh has "ta ken the cake" on a fine pat crop.

Of course it is idle to appeal to the railroad companies, because they make money out of them and will take all they can get.
