Show -THE UTAH EVANGELIST.- <br><br> Richmond* next falls into line, <br> The youngest of the stations <br> May, with the "good natured grit*" it has, <br> Out-grow its old relations. <br> Now Smithfield's* streamer heaves in sight, <br> The broad, the WOODRUFF, banner, <br> A stately craft, but now reduced, <br> A pilot less to man her. <br> Pass by Hyde Park and Providence, <br> At Millville make a call; <br> The pupils there will make their mark <br> And honor Millville* HALL. <br> Next Blackburn College now appears, <br> From NUTTING Hall at Hyrum*, <br> The students there all study hard, <br> With their teachers to inspire them. <br> The last, not least, comes into line; <br> There's good* in all the rest; <br> Whatever better* there may be, <br> The Wellsville is the BEST. <br> Now here we gather to unite <br> Our hearts and hands together, <br> And separate to labor on <br> In friendship's grasp forever. <br> After the welcome several of the schools contributed songs and recitations, etc., until the audience was dismissed to the grounds outside, for play, until the lunch was ready. With the strong force of help it took but a short time to transform the desks into tables, and soon four long tables were spread with good things, and taps of the bell called the children in. The edibles vanished rapidly before their keen appetites. After about 200 people were fed, play was again in order, and the croquet, swings, quoits, and jumping ropes, etc., were freely patronized. At half past three, the bell again called together the company to the chapel, where the parting Exercises occupied half an hour, when the conveyances separated the many new made friends, and closed a day of rejoicing, long to be remembered. <br><br> PERSONAL. <br> Miss Mary E. Moore, of the Salt Lake Collegiate Institute, started for Springfield, Ills., on the 10th ult., to spend the summer with friends. <br> Miss Lucy Perley, who has been located at Spanish Fork for some time past, has gone to spend the summer at Colorado Springs, Col. We are sorry to hear that her health is very much enfeebled by her work at Spanish Fork. <br> Prof. J. F. Millspaugh, Principal of the High School Department of the Salt Lake Collegiate Institute, left on the 10th for Lincoln, Neb. He will return in a month, and resume his duties in the school. <br> Miss Mary Crowell and Miss Lottie Leonard, teachers at Mt. Pleasant, passed through Salt Lake City, two weeks since, on their way East, they will return in the fall. <br> Miss Maggie A. Ramsay, of Scipio, will start East in a short time, to spend vacation. She will be accompanied from Salt Lake by her sister, who has been teaching, at Boise City, Idaho. <br> Mrs. Blackburn, of St. George, did not go to Kansas, as stated in our last issue, having received word that her daughter's health was improving. <br> Rev. Arthur B. Cort has recently made a tour of the fields vacated by his brother, W. C. Cort, and Mr. Murphy, speaking twice at nearly every station to full houses. It is physical impossibility for him to adequately supply so large a field, but he hopes that some good brother will soon come and share the labor with him. The lady teachers at these vacant stations have more than their share of care and hardship. Stoning and ringing the bells is the favorite pastime of some of their hoodlum neighbors. <br> Rev. E. N. Murphy and family spent a week in Salt Lake City last month. He is now located at Mt. Pleasant, as pastor. The mining interests at Silver Reef having gone down, and most of his little flock having departed to other places, a change of labor was necessitated for himself. <br> Rev. D. J. McMillan has gone with his family to Deer Lodge, Montana, where he has charge of the College recently organized at that place. <br><br> NEW WEST EDUCATION COMMISSION. <br> ISAAC HUSE, JR., FIELD AGENT. <br> Our spirits have been considerably elevated of late, by the visit among us of our Secretary from Chicago, Mr. C. R. Bliss. A thorough survey of the field took place and plans to a certain extent laid out for another year. No one who will candidly canvass the results of our year's work but will acknowledge that we have done splendid work for the rising generation. The loving and appreciative spirit shown both by parents and children tell in plain ways the kindly Christian works and words of our teachers. In at least eight places, better and larger accommodations are desired, and in several of these places the people will aid in building if we can do the larger part. Our Salt Lake schools are full and overflowing and will be so another year. The scholars of them are rejoicing in the promised return of their present teachers Mrs. Scruton and Miss Baker, and all regret that our other one here outside of the Academy, Miss Winslow, will not return from her eastern home. I should speak of the valuable temperance work done by our Ward teachers. The children of each school are organized into "Bands of Hope" societies, and the pledge, besides prohibiting the tasting of intoxicating drinks, also prohibits the use of profane utterances. This was a timely attempt, for the very atmosphere of this Latter Day (Zion) is heavy with profanity, a good part of it coming from people who look upon our teachers as "ungodly Gentiles and Babylonians." <br> A good apostate lady recently said to me: "You don't know how thankful I am to see these schools here in Salt Lake. I can't pray, but sometimes I let my thoughts rise heavenward, with a wish for God to bless these kind people who are helping us in our need. We came to Utah like beasts* and lived here like beasts* for a long time, bet now our children can hear and learn something else than this depraved doctrine." <br> In visiting the various schools of the Cove, Mr. Bliss and myself could not but notice the intense interest of the several teachers in their work; in two or three instances teachers chose* to work longer than the time when the rest closed, although not required to do so, if desirous to have vacation. <br> At Hennefer [sic], Miss Ruel reports increased numbers notwithstanding the fact that the boys usually stay out for work in the spring. She now has 33. At Coalville, Miss Beard's school numbers 41 enrolled. At Midway, the school is smaller, but all classes have a kindly interest in the teachers success. <br> At Bountiful, I should speak of the earnest work being done by Miss Claflin, the kind words spoken of her, even by those of the Mormon church, attest her power to show all of her desire to do naught, and to say naught, but good of all. Miss Claflin and Miss Peebles of Centreville, form a sort of partnership, each helping the other in Sunday school and Temperance work. <br> Miss Shute, at South Weber, is doing nicely in working up a first-class school, and our friends there think a "brighter day" has indeed dawned on that part of Utah. <br><br> ADVICE TO MOTHERS. <br> Are you disturbed at night and broken of your rest by a sick child suffering and crying with pain of cutting teeth? If so, send at once and get a bottle of MRS. WINSLOW'S SOOTHING SYRUP FOR CHILDREN TEETHING. Its value is incalculable. It will relieve the poor little sufferer immediately. Depend upon it, mothers, there is no mistake about it. It cures dysentery and diarrhoea [sic], regulates the stomach and bowels, cures wind colic, softens the gums, reduces inflamation and gives tone and energy to the whole system. MRS. WINSLOW'S SOOTHING SYRUP FOR CHILDREN TEETHING is pleasant to the taste, and is the prescription of one of the oldest and best female nurses and physicians in the United States, and is for sale by all druggists throughout the world. Price 25 cents a bottle. <br><br> CLIFT HOUSE, <br> SAM. C. EWING, Proprietor. <br> Main St., Salt Lake City. <br> Rates $2.00 per day.
