used every effort to quench the flames, but
I without success until she was so terribly
I burned that death came to her relief in a

arms will have to be amputated-

+ F. commencement at Gambler is thus no.
ticed by the Republican! Thursday last
was one of the most lovely days of the

and green; nature was in her holiday garb.
'Ehe people OF KNOX county appreciatlng
/ the good work which Kenyon College is
doing for the cause of education, turned
out in large numbers to attend the annual
1 Commencement exercises. Our city espe-
cIally was largely represented. ROsse
Chapel was filed to OverfOwing by nine
o'clock, with an audience such as but few
communities can furnish. The ladies

attiFed. Our excellent Union Brass Band
Of this city, never performed better, and

The Mt. GiIead Sentinel says: Our farm
ers say that the Spring Wheat in our coun-
ty viii turn out a fair crop.
We are told that a large number of sheep
that died in the storm of a week or two ago
still lie on the fields unburied. The de-
caying. .carcases of 500 or a 1000 sheep, or
half that number, will poison every
healthy breath of air in the county. We
hope those interested in preventing sick
ness will see that they are removed.
The Cardington ReUjeZLe says. We no
tice from a Columbia, S. c., paper, that our
townsman, Lieut.. J. W. Goldman, 9Th U.

IVES. will preside over the Honorable
Court with all the dignity required in the

MARION CoUNTY.-The I7edepeldent says:
We are glad to hear that the Managers of
the Marion Comfy Agricultural Society
determined at their meeting on Saturday
last, that they would hold a fair the COM
ing fall "A good fair can be gotten up in
this county If proper measures are only
taken If cur people will take as much
interest IN. their own county fair as is tax
en- DY many IN fairs outside of the county,
we think it would all go off right. Too
many people seem to forget that TIE more
successful our farmers and mechanics are |
the more prosperous our county viii be-
Let all take a hand in getting up a good |
fair and WeryYin have it.
While at Caledonia, on Thursday of last
week, we learned the particulars of the /
death of a boy about ten years of age, the !
son of Mr., Frank COchrane of qhat place /
There were two or three cars standing on /
the side track, which a lot of boys were /
engaged IN pushing apart a short distance /
and then letting the cars come together |
again. In attempting to couple the cars
as they came together, Mr.. COchrane's bov /
was caught between the bumpers of the /
cars and his head was smashed fiat, oaus-
ing instant death.
The wheat crop is slim generally. There
are some good fields of wheat but MANY
are very poor. We hear reports of Wee
vii in the little wheat there is in some. but
it is to be hoped that that pest will snare
we believe generally.
