Below We give an extract from the Louis
vile .(Ky0 Courier Journal, which paper
gives long account of the closing of the SEES.
sion of the High School of that city:
Pof. Walker then came upon the platform,
bearing in his hand beautiful and costly
silver pitcher, waiter and two goblets, made
by Joseph /. Lemon & Co., which he placed
upon table and remarked to the audience
that, though not upon the programme. their
intent would be explained by Mr.. Vissman.
This gentleman then arose from his seat. and.
turning gracefully to Professor Mcdonald,
presented to him this costly present from the
students of the Male High School. as slight
testimonial of that regard aud affection which,
during the last few years, his uniform kind
ness. wise instruction and benifieent discipline
have instil1ed into their hearts, This pre-
l'sentation speech though entirely impromptu.
was delivered very gracefully, and called forth
hearty applause.
Prof Mcdonald, always able to speak elo-
quently, accepted the gift in most appropriate
language. His remarks were feelingly uttered,
and contained those complimentary words {:
1.-The present students of the Male High
School are the best and smartest boys that
have ever taught"
The gentleman thus highly complimented
was formerly resident of our community
We learn that it is probable he will give up
his pos ton as Principal of. the Louisville
High School, aud again take up his resi-
deuce here. We welcome his return.

not seen for weeks and months previous and
its invigoratins effects upon every species of
vegetation have been powerful Our gar
dens have sprung into renewed life, pasture
is improving, and the corn is growing rapid
~. The wheat harvest was delayed for tile
while, but, as far as we can learn, little or
no damage done save in one section Of the
county. In the vicinity of Cameron Station
and Summit Poinr, the rain, on Monday af
ternoon, came down in torrents, and soon
flooded the low grounds ia these localities.-
The w. 4 p. Railroad was washed up for a
considerable distance, but by the prompt ac,
ton of the officers and employees of the road.
trains were enabled to pass at late hour on
'ion'ay n'Snt. ne lower noorS OF one or
two houses in the vicinity of Cameron's we're
inundated, out no lives lost. L, seems almost
miracle that this large body of water, being
above us on Evitt's Run, did not overflow the
stream here to greater extent than it did
and result in extensive damage to property
holders in town. The most plausible theory
we have heard advanced for our good fortune
in escaping this calamity is that She swampy
lands adjacent to this stream, which had be-
come almost totally dry during the late
drought, soaked up the water like sponge,
and thus retained what would otherwise have
been sufficient, added to tho extraordinary
volume OF the stream, to have made it a
raging torrent.

BErHINK AND BEL1EvE.-There is no
doubt-there can be no doubt, that in the
various Investigations which science has made,
she has added TO the trophies Of the past, and
what we see in martial development is also
going on in. other departments OF life. Con
sumption ,once the terror of the human fam;
lily, is now partly shorn of its terrors. You
can meet it atithe threshold and dispute its
invasion, by that more than wonderful Redi-
cine, DR.. KEYsER's LUNG CURE, which has
done more for its cure than all the remedies
that have preceded it,. We read every week
of cures that Dr.. KEYsERs LUNG CURE has
made. We see those ON e.streets in the full.
enjoyment of life, who once were apparently
their way to the enarrow house." DR..

TIE LADY AND THE ROBBER.

I'll
her two maid servants; they were
away from any other human habita-
ton, but they seemed to have felt no
fear, aud to have dwclt there peaceful.
" and happily, 1t was the lady's Gus,
tom to - rauua the house with her
maids every evening to >cc that all
the windows and doors were properly
secured. One night she had accom-
panied them as usual, and ascertained
that all WAS safe, They left her in the
passage close to her room, and then
went to their cwn, which was quite at
the other side Of the house. AS the
lady opened the door she distinctly
saw luAn underncath her bed. What
could she dps Her servants were far
away and could not hear her If she
screamed FOE help, and even if they
had come ~ her assistance those
three weak women were no match for
a desperate honse-hrcaker How then
did sbc actS She trusting in God,
quietly closed the door and locked it
OH the inside, which she was ALWAYS
in the habit of doing. She then lcis.
urely brushed her hair, and putting on
her gown she took her Bible aud sat
down to read, She read aloud and
chose a chartcr whic|, had special ref
erence 10 Gods watcitNlnrss over us,
aud constant care OF US 10y night and
by day; probably the ni'ety-iirst
Psalm. When it was finished she
kne!l and prayed ut great length, still
utterng her words aloud, particularly
cnmmenaln. herself and servants to
Gods protection, and ealing upon
Him to preserve them from all danger,
out the candle and went to bed. But
she did not sleep; after Il few minutes
she was conscious the man WAS stand
