roads so terribly rough that wagons never
attempt to travel over any portion OF

eighty miles is only an Indian trail, and
very rough, thence we follow pack trail
about twenty miles to State Creek, that

We left Lewiston one week ago last

TAKING COLD IN SUMMER.-After the varia-
ble weather of the past, we may now expect
warm term. It seems almost impossible
that during such weather people should be
so subject to colds but the fact IS, people
are too careless. When extremely warm and
in state of perspiration, such as follows ex-
ercise of any kind, it is very injudicious to sit
in draught of air. with less clothing than
was worn, during the exercise. 1t is quite
natural, if we have been walking on the
street, to remove as much of our clothing as
possible on entering the house, and further
to sit in the most breezy place We can find.
If it Ne toward evening when the air is in
clined to dampness, and the vitality of the
system greatly reduced, more or less of the
symptoms characterizing what are denomina-
ted colds are likely to ensue. tH
Therefore, never be in too great hurry to
check perspiration, either in cool air or by
drinking, especially of ice cold water. Allow
a little time to elapse before removing any OF
the clothing, and rather let the perspiration
subside gradually; for in this way we are
sure of avoiding many Of the serious conse-
queues attending the other course. = This
may seem foolish precaution to many es-
pecially during snch warm weather, but an
observance of the precept will save many
from hours OF PAIN Medical Independent.

QUEER.-There arrived recently at Rich.
mond Springs two beautiful bellies from New
York city. Their trains were endless, their
costumes wonderful DIS to fabric, fearful as to
expense; rich and rare were the gems they
wore, and it was estimated by good Judges
that their compilations cost at least ten
dollars per box. They exercised "Pink and
White Tyranny" over all the poor gentlemen
invalids who were seeking health at springs,
and were the envy of the expiring lady inVa-
lids who were buzzing around the springs
in search Of longer lease of the world and
its yanities. These bells arose one morning
from refreshing slumber, and determined to
renew their beauty by sulphur bath. To
the bath they went with dazzling flakes of
the previous evenings rose and pearl still on
their faces. Alas that, In this instance, a
thing Of beauty was not joy forever. The
sulphur changed those lovely, those expen-
sive compilations to blue black. The color
would not come off. Those compilations
were first class and warranted to wash, and
those bellies thus unexpectedly put under
the protection of the Fifteenth Amendment

tendents. With the inauguration of the
present system, teachers institutes came
into vogue. These institutes have been
of inestimable good. It is questioned if
there is school in this county but has
been directly benefited through teachers
institutes. The county superintendent is
now expected to attend all the great ed
vocational conventions of the state and
return with broader views and more
practical ideas, and then to make use of
his increased knowledge in the interests
OF his schools, and this too without ex-
pense to the county. He is also expected
to organize and support teachers asso-
Citations, and do much other work never
demanded of town uperintendents
These considerations induce us to saw
that the county system Of school super
vision is preferable to the town System in
the amount, quality and variety of work
done, and is the best system that has vet
been devised. In reference to the com
paratiYe expense, something will be said

Last Tuesday evening, as Bernard
Kruel and John Schiefelbien were
coming from Muscoda with a load Of
lumber, they met with an accident,
and in an instant Kruel was dead man.
They were within mile of Highland,
when, as they were passing over a
sideiing piece Of road. the bob sled
slid around and suddenly tipped over.
The side of the load fell upon youn g
Kruel's right shoulder and neck, and

to remove the load, came to town for
assistance. When the load was taken
off, it was found that his neck and
