Patch Grove Academy.

The Trustees of Patch Grove AGA
denny earnestly call the attention of
parents and teachers to the claims of
this institution, to their encourage
ment and support. 1t has now the
only classical and academic school in
this section of the State. Organized
but few years, it has constantly in
creased in the public confidence and
support, and is now established on a
thorough ard permanent basis. The
policy of tho trustees has been to Sc
cure uniformity in discipline and in
struction, and to avoid o frequent
change of teachers, SO fatal to good
scholarship. Superior facilities are
presented for advanced courses of
study. The qualification of teachers
for common schools is subject of
special attention. In this respect, it
is believed this school ranks among
the best in the State. The trustees
take pleasure in announcing that the
services of Mr.. and Mrs. Newcomb,
so long and favorably known in con-
nection with the school, have been
secured for the next term, and that
during the Winter term the institu-
ton, as heretofore, will be under the
immediate charge Of Prof. w. b.
Clark, who: has been at the head of
the institution since it's foundation.
The attention of those desiring q
thorough education, is called to this
institution before going to other and
distant portions of the State. If
home institutions are as good as those
at distance, and secured at much
less expense, they ought first to be
supported.
Letters addressed to G.. r. New
comb, or William Humphrey, Prcsi-
dent Of the Board, will receive q
prompt reply.
Per order of TRUSTEES.

SHoo Fly MIXTURE FOR HORSES
The Journal Of Chemistry gives the
following as a preventive of horses
being leased with flies: "Take two
or three handfuls of walnut leaves,
upon which pour two or three quarts
of cold water; let it infuse one night,
and pour the whole next morning
into kettle and let it boil for a
quarter Of an hour. When cold it
will be fit for use. No more is re-
quired than to moisten a sponge, and,
before the horse goes out of the
stable, let those parts which are most
irritable be smeared over with the
liquor, namely, between and upon
the ears, the neck, the TANKS, etc.
Not only the gentleman or lady who
rides out for pleasure will derive
pleasure from the walnut leaves thus
prepared, but the wagner and all
others who use horses during the hot
summer months.

PATCH GROVE ACADEMY.-Else-
where is published the card of the
trustees of this popular and growing
institution. They mean business,
and have meant it from the start, or
rather progress, and we are most
happy to note the continued success
Of their efforts TO establish a school
Of worth in our midst. The acade-
my has grown to be one Of the first
in this part Of the state, and it de-
serves still more the encouragement
Of the people in the county. We
have allalong claimed that this school
offers extra and superior advantages
for students to prepare for the high
or colleges. The school is admira-
bly, conducted the village is a heal
thy place, moral and quiet, conven-
lent to railroad and river travel and
in many ways calculated for home
TO the student from abroad. Prof.
w. b. Clarke continues in charge of
the academy, assisted by Mr.. and
Mrs. Newcombo. Families intend
ing to send abroad their children to
prepare them for the college or sem
mary or the full classical or academ-
ic course, would do well to look at
the advantages offered at this school.

Suicide of DR.. L. d. Gage.

"The Richland County Republican
has an account of tho suicide of DR..
| Il. d. Gage, u we'll known citizen Of
that county. His body was found
on Wednesday in an unoccupied barn
lying on his face, his head and chest
much disfgured by vermin, and his
body terribly bloated. A revolver
with one barrel discharged was found
under the body, and marks of the
bullet having passed through the
head. The Doctor left home Sun
day morning in an unusual manner,
and Mrs. Gage was deeply agitated
over his absence, and has been as
sisted by friends in efforts to learn
Of his whereabouts. DR.. Gage is re-
ported to have been an excellent cit
lien, and one OF the earliest settlers
thereabout He twice represented
Richland county in the State Legis-
lature. The Republican thinks his
suicide may be attributed to financial
embarrassments."
We believe the Doctor at one tirle
resided at Muscod a in this county.
He served during part of the war as
surgeon ofthe 25th Wis. Vols. where
he was generally liked.
SAILORS HOME Rev. A. II. Wal
ters, chaplain of this benevolent
institution, spent day or.two of

OF good is being accomplished
through its workings.
The "Homo" in Milwaukee is a
largo and substantial building con-
tanning ffty-six rooms with accom-
modations for large number Of
inmates. There is q considerable
debt remaining on the building and
it is proposed as it directly or indi-
rectly interests alarge class to receive
subscriptions from various parts of
the State. Any locality, church or
Sabbath School sending the sum of
forty-fve dollars will have ono of
the rooms assigned as belonging to
them, and the name Of such place,
church or school will be lettered on
the door.
Contributors will receive for every
dollar subscribed a copy of the Bethel
Banner for one year-an eight page
monthly paper, itself fully worth the
dollar.
1t has been proposed that Lancas-
ter should assist in this worthy en-
terprise and take room about one
third Of the amount has already been
sent in. Funds may be handed to
Addison Burr or TO Mr.. G. Il. Walker,
either Of whom will forward the
same and see that the Banner is
properly sent. We regard this work
as a noble one and every way wor-
thy our sympathies. The matter of
home missions has been very much |
neglected and this is move in the
right direction. Mr.. Walker has
been appointed agent for this work |
in Grant county, and will gladly re-
ceive names Of subscribers to this
object.
