STAMPEDE AMONG THE "ScHooLMA'AMs."
1t IS related that yesterday the worthy young
ladies who are engaged as teachers in the pub
llc schools, had become aware that the fund in
the treasury would not be adequateto their pay
ment; Under the impression that ''first come
would be first served" with warrants by the Su-
perintendent, each, without communicating her
design TO the rest, resolved to be there first. So
from divers quarters, and very early in themor-
ming, hurried the fair ones, with steps accelera-
ting as the fear of some one being in advance,
urged on the delicate little CATERS. But 10! on
reaching the Office, the door was beseiged, and
others kept coming. The Superintendent was
still a-bed, and it was discovered that the same
idea had been extensively prevalent. Some
body said that the expectant assembly put him
in mind Of general Judgment expressly for
pretty women, or of female mass meeting in
town with but one looking-glass After while
the President of the Board of Education hap
pening that way, told them that pro capita di-
vision of the funds would be made, and the mass
meeting dispersed.-[S. T. Journal.

ROMAN EYE BALSAM,

COMMONLY CALLED SORE EYES.

TTNHlS BALSAM was used for many years In the
Il private practice OF a celebrated 0culst, with
the greatest success.
In cases where the Eyelids are inaamed, or tho
ball of the Eye thickly covered with blood il acts al
most like magic, and removes all appearances Of in
iammation after two or three applications There
is a numerous class of persons that are peculiarly
exposed TO accidents diseases that weaken and in
flame the eyes, and perhaps destroy the sight such

THE Coloma Times says that VIM. Sehooly
formerly of that place, was thrown from horse
and badly injured in Georgetown, on Saturday
last. After throwing him the horse jumped his
fore feet on his breast, then turned and kicked
at him, one foot striking him on the top or back
of the head, cracking his skull. At last accounts
he was doing well and probably will recover.
