CHAPTER XIV.

CHAPTER XIV.
The rapid steps of the conner
soon brought him to the door,
when he promptly informed the
family, that Willie had been
thrown from his horse and Sc.
riously injured, and was at that
time speechless, lying in the
house of Deacon Crocko.
That the reader may the bet
ter understand us, the boy had
been sent three miles from the
village that evening after
school, to attend to some af-
fairs for Mr.. L.
When this sudden, sad news
was divulged to the Uncle and
Aunt, there was hot haste about
that house for a few moments,
and both were on their way to
Mr.. Crocko's.
On their arrival, they found
that Willie had revived some
what, and was able to converse
His injury seemed to be inter
nal, as he frequently spit out
large quantities of blood.
The Doctor had been sent
for, and arrived shortly after
Mr.. and Mrs. L. After exam
ination, DR.. Hoy remarked, that
he could not tell how serious
the injury was, as it seemed to
be produced by the force of the
fall, but hoped it would not
prove fatal.
That night, it was enid
night" in the heart of Mrs. Lo-
renzo, as she sat beside the bed
and listened to the heavy
breathings of her idolized boy
AT times he seemed delerious,
and then he would talk SC
plaintively about the other
world, and about his Aunt and
the Parson ; that tears were Of
ten rolling down the cheeks Of
Mrs. Lorenzo in spite of all she
could do.
Mr.. Lorenzo, soon became
weary, and went to sleep. 9th

Aunt watched the little sufferer
alone, with the good angel
vigils.
By-and-by, the boy reused
again, and seeing his kind
hearted Aunt by him, he reach
ed out his arms and placing
thom around her neck, said:
''Dear Aunt, have they left
you alone. You are my dear
kind friend-no one so. good as
you," and with these words he
pressed many a warm kiss up
on the pale face of his dear
Aunt.
"Willie," said his Aunt, "did

sleep?"

turn the whole in, well beaten
and bake in a hot oven.

when fully ripe, cut off a slice
from the stem side, scoop out
the pulp Of the tomato, and
salt. Fill the empty shell with
the mixture, replace the slices,
put them in a shallow pan, and
bake an hour
Cold SAUCE.-FOur table
spoonfuls of sugar, two of but

rubbed until very white and
smooth, add the beaten white of
an egg. Flavor it and mold it
into some pretty shape.
EGG CAKE.-Two cups OF
sugar, one egg, a piece of but
ter the size of an egg, one cup
of sour milk, one tablespoonful
Of soda, a little salt and nutmeg,
one teaspoonful of lemon, three
cups of flour; beat the white of
egg separately, the sugar and
yolk and butter together; bake
in a thoroughly heated oven.
PLAIN DoUaHNUTs.-One pint
Of rich butter and milk, one
heaping teaspoonful of soda,
half that quantity of salt, three
tablespoontuls of melted lard,
flour to knead well.
CoNsoMME.-Rich broth, clar-
ifed, becomes cOnsoneme. 1t is
the best and most nutritious
food that can be given to old
people, because it is easily di-
gested, and does not reqnire
any mastication; it is, in fact,
to old people what milk is to
the infant. C0nso0aue is beef
in a liquid state, having the
same nutritive properties. Af-
ter having strained the broth;
put it back in the kettle with
(for two quarts of broth) two
onions and two carrots in sill
ces, two raw eggs, a few ounces
of chopped, lean beef; beat the
whole well together, set ON the
fire, and boil gently until clear.
The process will take about
half an hour; then strain, and
it is ready. If it is wanted
very nutritious, use more chop
ped meat. In a preceding
number we gave directions for
making broth as rich as desired.
SUCCoTAsH.-This is decided
ly a favorite dish. Unfortunate
ly few people know how to
make it. Sweet corn and lima
beans make the epicure's sue
cotash, but string beans are
commonly used. Strip off the
the husks and silk from a dozen
ears of sweet corn and cut the
grains off the cobs. If the corn
is not very tender, chop as for
green corn pudding. String a
quart of green beans and, chop
them into half-inch lengths
Put the corn and beans togeth-
er into a quart Of cold water or
milk, cover them close, and
boil gently until done. Usual
time, three-quarters of an hour,
but it is safest to test them. A

Serious Accident.

On Thursday evening, just before
dark, an accident occurred at the Kill
buck bridge, west of town, that caused
the instant death Of e horse, and the
serious injury of one man, and slightly
bruising another. Henry Darr and Os-
car Harris, of Nashville, were starting
home in a sled, and as they were going
down the hill toward the bridge the
horses became unmanageable and began
TO run. Mr.. Harris was driving, and
would hBve steared them straight
through the bridge, had it not been that
Darr grabbed for the lines and pulled
the horses to one side which caused
them to run against the south side OF
the bridge, one of the horses passing
through the bridge safely while the
other went over the embankment into
the creek, falling upon the ice, killing
him instantly. The two men, together
with the box of the sled, went over
with the horse. Mr.. Darr was picked
up for dead, was taken to the Butler
House, where he recovered to conscious
ness during the night. He is supposed
to be injured internally. He was taken
home on Friday morning. Harris es-
capped with few slight bruises, and
says he has no desire to take anot othel
leap. The distance fallen was nearly
thirty feet.

Local News.

Now that political matters are out of
the way, for the present, we desire to
devote our columns to local matters.
Every day matters of general import
ance are transpiring in various portions
of the county, which if sent to US would
make very interesting reading. We
are frequently asked: Why didn't
you notice the fire in our township,
the accident in this, or the improve
ment in that locality. To all such 4ues-
tions the Local has but one reply, he
had never heard a word about them,
and no one felt interested enough to
drop a line to inform him. We gener-
ally keep one eye open to what turns up
in this quarter, but you cannot expect
us to write up locals We know not of.
We hope our friends all over the coun-
ty will keep us posted in what is goiug
on. 1fyou haven't the time to write it
out in full, give us the particulars in a
letter, and we will prepare it for the
paper. We would like to have a report
from every township. in the county
every week, and there is certainly some
friend in every township who can fur
nish us at least one local a week. Now
don't all stand back and wait for your
neighbor to do'it. T0n, reader, we are
talking to. Now can't you give us one
item?

A Surprise Party.

The good people of the Monroe and
Millersburg Lutheran Congregations,
gave their minister, Rev. NJ. P. Fogle-
song, quite surprise on New Years
day. About noon or little before it, a
few persons dropped into the Minister'S
house, and in a short time the house
was full of people. Provisions were
brought out from their hiding places in
the sleighs and sleds, and the ladies ta-
king possession of the house, soon had
a sumptuous dinner prepared, to which
forty-four persons sat down. A purse
of $40.35 was presented to Mr.. Fogle-
song, together with other articles
amounting in all to s62. The party was
a very pleasant one to all who partici-
pated in it. Such kindnesses shown to-
ward the Minister, gladdens his heart,
and ennables him to do his work with
greater ease, and more encouragement.

Falling Over WheeIbarrOws.

If YOU have occasion to use a wheel
barrow leave it, when you are through
with it, in front OF the house with the
handles toward the door. A wheel
barrow is the most complicated thing
to fall over OH the face of the earth. A
man will fall over one when he would
never think of falling over anything
else. He never knows when he has got
through falling over it, either, for it
will tangle his legs and his arms, turn
over with him, and rear up in front of
him, and just as he pauses in his pro-
family to congratulate himself, it takes a
new turn, and scoops more skin off him,
and he commences to evolute anew, and
bump himself on fresh places. A man
never ceases to fall over a wheelbarrow
until it turns completely on its back or
brings up against something it cannot
upset. 1t is the most inoffensive look
ing object there is, but it is more dam
gerous than a locomotive, and no man
is secure with one unless he has a tight
hold of its handles, and is sitting down
on something. A wheelbarrow has its
uses, without doubt, but in its leisure
moments it is the great blighting curse
on true dignity.

A Pleasant Party.

On Friday afternoon very pleasant
party met at the house of Mr.. John
Duncan, sen. 1t was the occasion of
the fortieth university of Mr.. and Mrs.
Duncan's marriage. Their children and
grandchildren were all present, for the
first time that they had met altogether
under their roof. Quite number of
invited guests were present. A sumpt-
uous dinner was prepared which was
highly relished by all present. Mr..
Duncan has lived forty-three years in
this county, being one among the first
residents of the county. There is per-
haps not another man in the county
who has done more real hard work,
than Mr.. Duncan. He holds his age
quite well, but in this is excelleG by
Mrs. Duncan, who looks as hale and
hearty as woman of forty five.
Mr.. Duncan is sixty-nine, his wife a
few years younger. The day was very
pleasant one both to the members of
the family and guests. We wish this
happy old couple many returns of this
anniversary day.

Local Agricultural Societies.

ELECTION AND SELECTION OF OFFICERS.
Ed. Ohio Farmer: l offer through your
paper some suggestions relative to
adopting a more uniform time for hold
ing the annual election of local agricul-
tural societies, and more careful selec-
ton of their officers. L do so at this
time hoping they may come under OBJ
servation of delegates attending the
Ohio State Agricultural convention.
which meets in a few days, and at
which subjects for the promotion of ag-
riculture will be considered and dis
cussed.
1t has long been the settled conviction
of my mind that the election of officers
of local agricultural societies should be
held on the last day of their annual
fair. At this time all the members OF
the society are likely to be present and
participate in the election. The adop-
ton of such a rule would produce Il
much better feeling among the members
of the society, thereby increasing their
at the same time secure the election OF
officers more interested in the promo
tion of agriculture.
Under the rule allowing the officers
of the society to fix the time for hold
ing the election, it is frequently held in
the winter when the weather is cold, or
spring when the farmer is busy, and
rather than go distance of five or ten
miles to attend the election they stay at
home. This often enables few MEM
bers living about the towns where the
fair is held to elect men who sometimes
manage the affairs of the society more
in. the interests of horse racing and
other sports than those of agriculture.
The law might be so amended as to re-
quire the election to be held during the
annual fair or the society to forfeit its
rights to draw money from the county
treasury.
In the election of officers, care should
be taken to select men especially inter-
ested in the advancement of agricul-
ture and the mechanic arts-men who
are practicable and energetic and will
ing to spend Il few days during the year
for the benefit of the society. How diff
ferent the practice in some societies.
frequently the most responsible offices
are filled by merchants, legal and other
professional men, who have but little
interest i'm and no time to attend to the
duties they are elected to perform. They
are chosen, it is said, because they are
popular, and it is hoped their populari-
ty will bring 'large crowds to the fair
AS though agricultural societies were
organized and fairs held for no other
purpose than make money.
