It has been some time since we have had any correspondence from Viola. To let yon know that tlia people are still living here this is written, although the roads are in such a condition that thev could not get out of here if they wanted to. I for one sincerely hope that those who took such an interest and helped do so much to ward our plank road last Hummer, will do their best toward completing the road to the top of the bill before another winter, and I think there will be no difficulty if the people on the hill will put in the time they all sub scribed.

Mr.Sylvanus and our superintendent, Mr. A Little Deceiver. It cannot be called little fraud, as it is of too great value and is not to blame for being misused. Vick'g New Branching Aster when cut resembles the chrysanthemum so closely that only experts can tell the difference and aa it cornea into flowering six weeks before the "mums," and at a time when flowers are scarce, it is great tempta tion to the florist to sell these Asters for "mums." The Branching Aster can be easily grown out doors, and the seeds cost only 25 cents per packet, so that every person who has a foot of ground can enjoy a grand treat for almost noth ing. If you want honest goods send 10 cents to James Vick's nones, Korchester. N. Y. for Floral Guide, it costs nothing, as the 10 cents may be deducted from, the first order. HARK FT REPORT.
