Notlong since a two cent dog sprang
from the alley closely followed by tive
cent brick. Rounding the corner at right
angles he came in contact with the feet OF
a woman. who was carrying jug of mo-
lasses in one hand and bucket OF eggs in
the other. The sudden collision OF the
dog with her lower extremities threw her
from her feet, and she sat down on the
bucket of eggs, at the same time breaking
the Jug of molasses upon the pavement
A Young gentleman, carpet-bag IN hand,
anxious to catch the train, was running
close behind, and stepping upon the trag-
ments of the jug and Its contents, tell
down on the chest of the Dutch woman,
who said, ssAIine Cot" The young man
said something about mad dog, but in a
moment said it backward. In the mean
time the dog had run against the feet OF
a team of horses attached to load of
potatoes, and they, taking fright started
for home. The end board being out,
they unloaded the potatoes on the street
as they went Crossing the railroad track
the wagon caught in rail and tore it
from its place A freight train coming
along few moments later was thrown
from the track, smashing up a dozen cars
and killing thirty or forty hogs. The
horses, on reaching home, ran through the
barnyard and overturned milk-pail. the
contents of which another two cent dog
licked up. One of the horses having
broken his leg was killed, and the other
is crippled for life. 1t is now mooted
question whether the man who threw the
brick at the two cent dog, or the man who
owns it, is responsible for the chapter OF
accidents which followed. San. Francis

MANY PERSONS are in the habit of
burning fluid or kerosine-oh lamp, in
their bedrooms at night, and closing
windows and doors. To such, we COM
mend the following extract from an En-
glish paper:
Suffocation by foul air and mephitical
gas is not rare form Of death in the Uni
ted Kingdom. 1t is possible that sus-
pended animation may now and then
have been mistaken for the absolute ex-
tinction of life. DR. Londe gives an in
structive case to the purpose. At the
extremity of large grocers shop, close
narrow corner, or rather hole, was the
sleeping-place of the shopman who mana
ged the night sale till the shop was closed,
and who opened the shutters at four in the
morning. On the 18th of January, 1865,
there were loud knocks at the grocer's
door. As nobody stirred to open it, the
grocer rose himself, grumbling at the
shopman's laziness, and proceeding TO his
sleeping-hole to scold him. He found
him motionless in bed. completely de-
prived of consciousness. Terror-struck
by the idea of sudden death, he immedi-
ately sent in search of doctor, who sus-
pected case of asphyxia by mephitism.
His suspicious were confirmed by the
sight of a night-lamp, which had gone
ont although well supplied with oil and
wick and by portable stove containing
the remains of charcoal partly reduced to
ashes. In spite of severe frost, he i'm
mediately had the patient taken into the
open air, and kept on chair in posi-
ton as nearly vertical as possible. The
limbs of the sufferer hung loose and drop
ing, the pupils were motionless, with no
trace either of breathing or pulsation of
the heart or arteries; In short, there were
all the signs of death. The most ap-
proved modes of restoring animation were
persisted in for long while, without sue
cess. AT last, about three in the after
noon, that is after eleren hours continued
exertion, slight movement was heard in
the region of the heart. A few hours
afterwards, the patient opened his ewes,
regained consciousness, and was able to
converse with the spectators attracted bv
his resurrection. DR. Londe draws the
conclusion that persons sufFocated by
mephistism, are not unfre9uently buried,
when they might be saved.

SAFETY IN THUNDER STORMS. ---Sedu-
lousy avoid all conductors of electricity.
Do not shelter under trees, nor 90 near
them; the great majority of accidents
arise from want of this precautiOn. Do
not handle or be very close to metallic
bodies; a servant cleaning a silver fork
at n window, during thunder storm, the
prongs being outwards, was struck, but
not killed young lady, during the
same storm, sewing near window, was
thrown from her seat and experienced a
glow. The centre of a room, if metallic
lustre is not pendant, is safer than any
other part of the apartment. 1t is not
safe to be between the window and the
door, or fireplace, where there is a cur
rent of air. A bed is the securest re-
treat; so all We who fear, and fail to de-
rive pleasure, mingled with awe, in be-
holding this, the grandest of nature
meteors, ensconce yourselves within the
wooden folds, and, sink in your downy
couch, if We cannot fall into gentle
slumber, think at least that you enjoy
comparative safety.-Dr. Thomson's Me-
teorology.

GHOLSON, 2. O.. MISSISSIPPI;
II miles from Stuqpolak Station, Mobile
and Ohio Railroad

HNHIS School has just closed its sixteenth
IL annual term, and is justly regarded as
being entirely the greatest school for boys
known to the country. 1t is unnecessary TO
add more than to mention that our classes
are so arranged that we can receive boys at
any time and charge to the close of the ses-
sion. We always have fine class. AS an
evidence of our standing in high places,
read the quotations below.
From Basil l.. Gildersleeve, PHI. ID. Prof.
of Greek and Hebrew in the University of
Virginia: "Your students here are consid-
erably above the average in preparation. /
am satisfied that you are doing great work
in the cause of education. and wish you
abundant success"
From Charles S. Venable, LII. d., Prof. of
Mathematics i'm the University of Virginia !:
1.-TWO of your students have in the past
year and the present entered my classes
The first Joined the Senior Glass and showed
his thorough preparation by graduating in
the school of Mathematics in one session.
When he entered the class there were TWEEN
ty-one in it, only nine of whom graduated.
The other student entered the Junior Class
and does well.
1T gives me great pleasure to make these
statements in Justice TO you as an instruc-
tor"
Similar endorsements could be had from
DR.. Waddel, Chancellor of our State Uni
versity, and the other members of the Fac
ulty.
Our preparations are ample for a large
class-and we desire 60 fill up the measure
of our usefulness.
By informing us upon what day they will
arrive at Shuqualak, a wagon will meet
students and convey them, free of charge, to
the School.
Young gentlemen who leave home to kill
time, and have fun, had better go elsewhere.
Those who desire to study and learn, can
get the best instruction in every branch of
liberal or practical, business education.
We have splendid new Engineers Level

the yield viii not be as great as was an
tiCipated early in the season, we rejoice to
know that IL viii be an abundant one.
As cutting and thrashing progresses, the
yield is found to be much greater than
was supposed one month ago. The berry
is said to be plump and fine. We hear
some complaint Of smut, and crops thus
affected should be handled very carefully
and under no circumstances thrashed
while damp, as no smut mill vet invented
can cleanse IL when the smut is ON the
end Of the berry. Cur wheat does not
show 10 advantage when badly cleaned,
and our farmers should see that il is bet
ter cleaned than has been their custom in
former seasons, as its value depends, to
some extent, on the manner in which il Is
handled. The crops of the country will
be larger than in former years, and fancy
grades, well prepared for market, will
sell when poorer ones viii be neglected.
