WoLFLIN & Co.-The Mount Yer
non Democrat of last week, contains
a lengthy notice of the distillery and
mill of George WolAin & Co., of that
city. The distillery has been enlarged
to double its capacity. The govern.
ment measurement is 1850 gallons
per day. The arrangements are so
complete as to make it one Of the
largest and best distilleries in the
West. The proprietors are satisfied
that they can successfully compete
with any concern in the manufacture
Of pure whisky. They use 900 -four
barrels and $50 whisky barrels per
week. They have a young brigade of
men in their employ. The many
friends of Mr.. Wolfin in this city
will be glad to learn that he is pros
pering SO finely.

save her life. She tore up her blank

them together, making strong cord.
She then ran one end throughthe iron

ton, with her tongue prOtruding
about five inches, by one of the in

the alarm, and the would-be suicide
was rescued from her dangerous stu
alton. She was perfectly cold and al
most dead when discovered, but upon
the proper restoratives being used,
was revived. If she could have got
her feet off the floor, she would prob
ably have been dead before she was

THE BOLD HUNTERs-THAT OLD
GRAY MARE.-A good joke is in cir
culation in the city about a hunting
party, that is too good to be lost.
Last week a young gentleman, of the
bachelor persuasion, made a wager
of an oyster supper with lady friend
that he would go out hunting before
the end of the week. So he made up
a party, consisting of himself and two
other yourg men, and got everything
ready to go on Saturday. Accord
ingly, on Saturday morning they
hitched up an old gray mare in an ex.
press wagon and started out, feeling
sure that they would come back with
the express wagon full of game.
Their spirits rose, as they passed be-
yond the confines of the city limits,
aud they made the welkin resound
with a song appropriate to the occa-
sion, the first verse Of which is as fol
lows: 7'a oi has i sa@ a.6
There was an Ola man WHO nad Two sons
And these two sons We're brothers;
Josephus was the name of one,
d, And Bold Hunter was the pother."
After singing this song, they chat
ted gaily Of the exploits they expect
ed to accomplish, aud before they
were aware of the fact, we're about
eight or ten miles from town. They
stopped and hitched the ''old gray"
and started for the woods, where, af-
ter a tedious days labor, they sue
ceeded in killing a few birds and
wounding screech owl, which one of
the party earelessly thrust in his bo-
som. They then made their way back
to their team, and started home. But
old gray" being somewhat eccen-
trio in her disposition, concluded she
would not 60. They whipped and
coaxed her by turns, but she was still
determined not to move. They then
turned her head in the direction of a
hay-stack near by, and after driving
around it several times, thought they
would succeed in starting her towards
home. But in this they were mis-
taken. A countryman happening
along at this juncture, proposed to
J" make her go all right" for the pal
try sum of fifty centsg His PROPOSE
ton was promptly accepted, and he
did, by some hocus-pocus, start the
stubborn old critter. She went along
all right, and the man was paid off
and went on his way rejoicing. After
going about half a mile. she again
stopped in the vicinity of farmhouse.
They tried to get her to go again, but
all to no use. They whipped and
eoaxed, and very likely said a few
"cuss words" but the old gray took a
firm position AID could not be moved.
It was then proposed to build fire
under her, but as none of the party
had any matches, their mereiful in
tentions were thWarted One of the
party had an engagement, and was
compelled to get to town as soon as
possible, and it was agreed that if he
could procure a saddle, that he might
ride the mare to the city, and while
in search Of a saddle, the other two
sat in the wagon and sung that sweet
refrain

In short time the young gentle

OF leaving the express wagon in

to this, more especially as they did
not know of any way to take the
wagon with them. The young gentle
man then mounted the old gray mare,
and after bidding his companions a
fearful and afectionate farewell,
started to town. leaving the bold
hunters to foot it to the city, a dis

New SCHooLs.-The largely in
creased number Of pupils in the Pub
lie Schools has compelled the organic
cation Of two new schools.
In the Primary Schools of the low
er part of the city, including the
Park School, there are 476 soats-aii
that the rooms can properly aeoommo-
date. In these rooms 602 children
are placed, making 126 moro pupils
than seats.
In the four Second Intermediate
Schools there are more than hiFy
children who have not aecommoda-
tiong. By the suspension of theGer-
man Methodist School, the City
School Board have been enabled to
secure two rooms for the aocommoda-
ton of a Primary and Second inter-
mediate School
The transfer Of SO many children
from the schools and their removal
from the teachers to which they are
accustomed, will. of course. produce
dissatisfaction among them. 10 en-
courage this spirit of dissatisfaction
among the pupils is only to embarrass
the teachers and iDjure the pupils.
Everything will be done to secure the
greatest convenience to the greatest
number, and if some are obliged to go
further than they went before. the az
erage distance for all is much less.
The Primary School was organized
on Monday, and put in charge of
Miss Carrie Wack, The intermediate
