Telegraph Odloe DlaoonMnned.
Manager Hayes, of the Pacifio Pos

Wednesday that ho had decided to
discontinue their office at this place
and establish an offleo at Warren, giv
ing as a reason for doing so that the
loop or exlemion from Milton to this
point ia too expensive to koop up for
the amount of business the olhco
does. Thit action is a very poor piece
of businctt policy on tho part of
the company, and will work a real
hardship upon the people of this
place. Tho office ha boon vesy woll
patronized and we could not do with
out it without serious inconvenience.
We cannot afford to let, the offleo leave
here, and a petition asking the com
pany to reconsider it action will bo
circulated and everybody ia asked to
ign it, and prevail upon the company
not to deprive us of this valved con
vcuienco. A peculiar accident occured at the
Portland Exposition last night which
will doprive the great show of any
...imin thia season. The band
was playing "Way down upon the

To the Ebitor :
1 n last week's issue of Tub Mist I
noticed, with pleasure, you ask for
communication on educational mat
ters, and especially invite touchers to
contribute. I believe this to be a step
in the right direction, and trust that
thu teacher of Columbia county will
avuil themselves of the opportunity
thua offered fur an interchange of idea.
Isolated as wo are, it is impracticable
to organise teachers' meetings such as
are in vounu in older and more thickly
settled communities, and as to educa
tional journals, though they may have,
anil doubtless have, a proper place on
the tuac.liur s dusk, thoy cannot take
tho place of the local journal in im
parling enthusiasm and love lor the
work. To know that the author of an
article has an entity, thut be is a real
nud not an ideal peraon. that he is
struggling Willi, or perhaps has con
quered the very thing thut is puzzling
us nil, uilds zi.'hI to our labor not ob
tainable from a work written at so
much n line. I hail this innovation
with pleasure, and trust that it may
prove to bo gratifying not only to
teachers but to the public in general.
Your Truly, W. A. Wood.
NEWSPAt'KH NOTES.
A Western editor, in answer to a
complaint that news was scarce, uil
vised his complaining subscriber to
read the bible, which, he had no doubt
would bo news to him.
Three newspaper offices were recent
ly demolished in a Kantaa cyclone,
and the editor of one of them in men
tioning the fact remarked that "even
the Lord' chosen sometimes get it
where the chicken got the ax."
A level-hoadcd judgo, of this state,
in dismissing a libel suit against a
newspaper, eaicl, "whenever a news
paper linds a case of flagrant wrong
doing and evil it is it duty to expose
it and give it the widest circulation."
An Eastern editor says that a man
got himself in troublo by marrying
two wives. A Westorn editor men
tions the fact that, a good many men
have done the samo thing by marry
ing one. A Northern editor say that
a number of his acquaintances found
trouble enough on barely promising to
marry and going no further. A South
ern editor says that a friend of his wus
bothered enough when he was simply
found in company with another man's
wife. "

The Tattler.
What is a tattler? A vile leech, sapping
the lite blood of human happiness. A
black, greedy vulture, feasting upon the
carrion of society. A busy-body who list
ens gleefully to anything harsh you may
soy of your neighbor, cither pettishly or in
a joke, and then carries it. magnified and
patched up to suit himself, and pours it,
scorching hot, into the ears of your best
friend, perhaps, and after succeeding in
setting him or her to say something equally
harsh', leturns to vou laden with his fuel lo
the smouldering tire. Thus little by little,
ti,n irhmil of human aocietv filches tne hap
piness of human friendship and develops
between tlio kindest oi neignoors ami
frmnilM a feelinit of hatred which should be
known onlv to the bosom of demons. Are
you a tattler? Do vou sow amount your
neighbors the seed of discord and hate? If
so, in the name of humanity, let us beg
vou to desist. We are all liable to err, all

a bad effect on the crop.
