THE P2ONOUNCING MATCH:

Ille supper ana l'rOnOunclnS Match
given by the Ladies Of the Union Con-
gregational Church, Oh Tuesday even
ing, was largely attended and yielded Il
handsome sum.
The audience assembled in the upper
room, while preparations for supper
went on below, and at O'Clock Prof.
Humiston, who was selected to "giye
out" Oh spell the words, announced
that Mrs. Dean and Nh. Geo. NJ. Plumb
would he the choosers, and that Rev. II.
b. futile would act us umpire. Both
Webster and Worcester were used as
authorities.
Mrs. Dean chose A. G.. Robinson,
Mrs. Ames, Major Bell, Mrs. II. B.
Tuttle, Elihu Smith, II. J. Grant, Clay
borne Rohrer, Miss Mary Smith and
Mrs. Rohrer.
Mr.. Plumb chose A. P. Miller, NJ. b.
Soule, Mrs. Bell, Miss Mary Crever, c.
B. Langdon, DR.. Moore, II. D. Humis-
tor, Misses Mary Twitchell, Hattie
Coplin, and Matte Smith.
Then the contest began. Mr.. Plumb's
right bower tripped Oh the word Ag-
grandize and fell out of the ranks at
the very outset. Elihu Smith slipped
on Albumen and fell into seat. Then
Prof. Uumiston threw out an Almond,
which hit e. B. I.angdon, DR.. Moore,
II. D. 1Iumiston, II. j. Grant and G.
Rolrer, and knocked them all out of
the ranks. MI. Plumb got tired and
sat down after trying Amateur, and
Mrs. Ames was SO exhausted by the
word Amenable that she. retired from
the combat. Then Miss Mary Smith
took a seat after Approbative and Mrs.
Rolrer after Arabic. Mr.. Soule and Mrs.
Dean both got out on an Archipelago,
and Major Bell was drowned in a Bath.
Mrs. futile was engulfed in Baths.
Miss. Hattie Coplin and Miss Matte
Smith, strange to say, were completely
overthrown 10y Beelzebub, while Miss
Crever was caught mapping and was
worsted by the word Been, leaving Mrs.
Bell last on the floor, and she was soon
blown clear off her feet by Bellows.
A spelling match was then had by
the same combatants, which was soon
narrowed down to a running duel be-
tween Miss Mary Smith and the editor
of the three or four consolidated news
papers of Worthington. The editor,
being altogether too:gallant to triumph
over a lady, pretended not to know
how to spell Connoisseur and sat down,
leaving Miss Smith the victor, who
missed Cotyledonous, word, by-the-
way, which nobody ought to encourage
by correct spelling 80 that it might
remain buried with the dead Greek
from which it came.

.M. Editor Dear Sir, Be kind
enough to permit me through your val
liable paper to announce to tie public
that 90 the 23rd of June l was called
on by our good old citizen aud friend,
G. W. Smith, ESQ who lived neigh
Dor to us nearly all bis life, and as We
all regard the Squire as one of our best
citizens for industry, honesty, truth and
veracl,y, accordingly went on the oath
to help 10 raise a new barn on the spot
where the old one stood that was burn
ed on tie night of the l4th of Janu-
ary, 1875. The new barn is far supe-
rior to the old one in every respect,
from the fact that it is larger being 40
by " feetj, the timber is all of first
quality ithe lower part being all oak
and the upper part nearly all of the
choicest yellow pinel, and it will oe
shingled with the finest shingles ever
brought to Juuia,a county, which Mr.
Smith bought and had shipped from
Grand Rapids, Michigan. The shin
giles are of SO fine quality that i
bought one-half Of the car load from
him.
The barn is Is feet high to the square.
This raising of the Sauire's barn l will
never forget, as almost every neighbor,
both men and women, came to aid the
Squiie and show their respect for him
by lending helpisg hand. The ladies
certainly deserve great credit for the
excellent dinner which they had in
waiting for the raising party. The
table was filled with the good things of
this world, such as would have done
credit to an infare. Tie baking of
fine cakes and pies was superistsnded
By Mrs. David L. Dunn.
The barn was laid ont ty the master
mechanic, David Humberger, the work
manshlp Of which reminded me very
much of the Building OF Solomon's
Temple-tbere was hardly the sound of
= hammer heard in the raising of the
barn, with the exception Of driring the
pins.
Squire Smith, With the aid of his
large circle Of friends, deserves great
credit for building so large and fine q
barn, in so short time, as it is but q
few weeks since the spot where this
fine structure now stands was but pile
of ruins from the torch of an incen-
diary.
Respectfully,
SAMUEL o. EVANS.

RoAD MrxDrse.-Ta. annual .pring

Road MEKDIkG.-The annual spring
festival Of mending roads is nearly
closed for this year. The supervisors
do differently here from what they do
in majority sf townships. They work
by the panel. Thus if forty men and
boys turf out for the day, two or four
men are taken for Jewellers, four or six
to grub and shovel-a shoyeler to each
grubber their duty Is to open brakes
and take of the Jumps left By the plow;
the rest are taken for shoveieIs. A boy
numbers the panels of fence along the
road from one up to thirty tmore or lessi
if there are that many to shovel, and
each one takes his number and shovels
ten feet on each side of the road, and
he keeps the same numher all day. The
plan is good one. In this way each
one has his own TO shovel, let it be
either muddy or sandy, and if a boy
shoveis his panel all day he gets the
same wages as man. This plan has
been the means of keeping those at
home who come to talk aud not work.
Upper Providence uses but two horses
to piow, TIE same as plowing field
three 60 with the plow. If the dirt is
not we'll thrown out all the leveler has
to do is to take the number and report
to the supervisor, and be fefers TO his
book and be instantly knows who
sleights his work aud corrects it. Linn
erick plows with forr horses and the
plow fastened to the front wheels of
wagon. One day Limerick had sixty
seven shovelers, in all nearly eighty
hands. Any person passing along the
roads here can see for some time after,
the number of sboveless on each day
by the numbers on the fence.-Hest

A BOY about fourteen years Of age,
the only son of Jacob Smith, near
Waterside, was killed by lightning on
Saturday, the 18th inst. The father
and son we're working at a lime kiln,
some distance from the house, when the
storm came up. Mr. Smith sent the
boy home with the horses they had been
using, directing him to put them in the
stable. This he did, and his mother
supposed he had returned to the kiln
again. When his father came to the
house for bis supper he inquired for the
missing boy, ard after a short search
be was found lying between cherry
tree and fence, short distance from
the barn, dead 1t is supposed that he
sat on the fence uuder the tree for shell
ter from the rain, xhen be was struck.
His hat vas torn into shreds, his cloth
ing torn off his body and both shoes off
his feet with the sole entirely torn off
the upper. There was sccrched
streak from the head to his feet, and
from the appearance of cash on the
side of the head be must have been
dead several hours. The sad affair has
cast quite gloom throughout the en-
lire community, and will serve as a
warning against taking shelter under
trees during thunder s.orms.-Beatord

AN exchange says: Turkeys are said
to be the best destroyers of the potato
bug. In a neighboring county the
farmers; to a great extent, got rid Of the
potato bugs, winch were quite numer-
Gus, by driving hocks of turkeys into
the potato fields. The turkeys soon
find the Larvae on the under side OF the
leaves-aud the beetles too, if any are
there-and they will go to the field
every day until the pests are complete
ly cleaned out. Tae beetle, or fully
formed potato bug, lays its eggs on the
under side of the leaf, and it is the
larvae or grub that destroys the plants.
After time the unwinged larvae be-
comes a winged beetle and flies away
to deposit its eggs elsewhere. The
turkeys devour the Larvae, large and
small, while chickens do not see them,
as they generally pick their food from
the ground. A few broods of young
turkeys at this season will clear the
bugs from large patch in two days.
