The SCHOLARS OF the
West Side Grammer Department for
several months under the charge of
Mr.. II. G. Goodman, as a token of
their appreciation of the laborsf of
their teacher, procured neat gold
headed cane, and on the morning of
the last day of the term, in the pres
ence of the School, presented their
testimonial to Mr.. Goodman, Miss
Edith Taylor delivering the following
neat address:
"Mr. Goldman: As members of the
West ,MassilIon Grammar School, oV-
ef which you have performed the du
ties as Teacher for the closing term,
we cannot suffer your departure from
among US without an expression of
our highest respect and most sincere
and heartfelt wishes. Your unremit-
ting attention to the high and respon-
sible duties, the earnestnessg and zeal
with which you have at all times per-
formed the same, and the prosperity
and advancement which ollowed
your constant labors will ever remain
as statues to your memory. And as q
slight token of the affection which W e
have for you as ourTeacher and friend,
l present to you this beautiful cane,
in behalf of the West Massillon Hram-
mar School, and l assure you that in
taking your departure from among us,
you leave behind you host of young
friends who will follow you with
their kindest wishes, that wherever
you go, "Peace Happiness and Pros
perity shall accompany you, and abide
with you always"
During the delivering of the above
neat address, the young misses and
boys of the Grammar School could not
repress their feelings, but manifested
their regret at parting from Mr.. Cool
man by shedding tears. The cane was
handed to Mr.. Goodman by Miss Dot
tie johnson, and heartfelt response
by Mr.. Goodman followed. and it
would indeed be difficult to determine
which was most affected, the Teacher
or Scholars. Mr.. Goodman has only
taught in our schools for short time,
but by an attentive application to his
duties, and a comprehensive method
of treatment to his pupils, has won
much praise from both scholars and
parents.

CUTTING AFFAIR IN RANDOLPH
We learn that terrible cutting affair
occurred in the South west part of
Randolph on Tuesday evening of last
week. About nine o'clock Mr.. Will
liam Bowers observed two persons in
the road apparently in the act of driv-
ing off number of his cattle and
went out to prevent it, when an alter
cation took place, and during the affray
Mr.. B. received severe cash in his
left hip about eight eight inches long
and four inches deep, but, being only
a flesh wound, it is not regarded as
dangerous. On Thursday two men
named Glass and Snodgrass, living in
New Baltimore, were arrested on a
warrant issued by Justice Coe, charg-
ed with the commission ofthe offence.
Their examination was postponed till
Friday.
