PULLING TEETH IN OH TrMEs.-The
primitive method of abstracting teeth in
Scranton is thus described by corres>
pondent of the N. Y. Exprese:
Zone end of firm hemp string was
fastened upon the aching member, while
the other, securely tied around bullet
purposely notched. was put in the barrel
of an old flint lock musket, loaded with an
extra charge of powder. When all was
ready, the desperate operator caught hold
of the gun, and "let drive" Out few
the tooth, and away bounded the musket
several feet. This mode of extracting
teeth became the chosen and only mode
practised in this region for many years."

o. L. Williams. ESQ.

This accomplished writing master and
worthy gentleman is now in our town.
He is giving instructions in Penmanship
to large class, who we are informed are
making very rapid improvement. We
are glad to see that the writing spirit has
gotten up, and we hope it will be kept
up, until our young men shall learn to
write legible business hands. To write a
heaUy. clumsy. dtOkDarl fist. is inconven-
lent and embarrassing. 1t is a source OF
annoyance through life. We suggest to
parents to send their children. and to
the business young men of the town to
send themselves.
Mr.. Williams will remain and take
another school. His charges are very
reasonable, il he teaches the student to
write well, and nothing if he don't.

instances of California enterprise in wine
growing. Almost every State in the o.
