The Spelling school fever is raging
fearfully all around us. Scarce paper we
take up that has not accounts of matches,
challenges and photographed locking of
horns in some way. We hear no response
TO the suggestion of a spelling match here.
1t is possible that our people regard this
part of their education as finished. With
probably majority of the community
this is the case, but unfortunately the fin.
ishing process was ended before dictiona-
ries came into use

Examination OF Teachers

EDITOR BULLETIN. An examination of
applicants for teachers certificates, was
held at Winthrop, on the 25th ult., in the
intermediate department of the Public
school House. Although the school was
in session, the room was cheefully given
up, the pupils being taken into the higher
department for the day, and there instruct
ed.
Fourteen applicants were examined, all
of whom were ladies. The following
received certificates ldell Bartholomew,
Jennie Barney, Rebecca Guthrie, Maggie
Hogan. kirkpatrick, Hattie Metcalf, Della
Miller, Addie Potter, Nina Pulls, Clara

Singer, and Annie Wordsworth.
Mary +. Sampson taught six terms,
Idcll Bartholomew, four terms, Maggie
Hogan and Clara Sampson, each three
terms, Katie Kirkpatrick and Nina Pulls,
each two terms, Jennie Barney and
Rebecca Guthrie, each one term, Of
the applicants not one had attended the
Normal Institute last summer, and tut
four had attended Teachers Institute.
This class on an average did very well,
and only one failed to receive certificate,
being under the rcquiied age
We cannot fail to notice some mtttcrs
of improvement in the Public School of
Winthrop. which indicate spirit of prog
ress in the right direction. The directors
through well directed effort of the
teachers and liberality of the citizens, have
supplied the Primary, intermediate, and
higher departments, each, with full Sc,
of Guyot's beautiful geographical wall
maps, and full set of Cutters anatomi
cal charts.
The funds for this laudable purpose
were raised in part by pupils of the school
in giving an entertainment at which q
small admittance fee was charged. The RES
was contributed by liberal minded citi
zens.
We noticed that the directors had also
gretly improved the room of the higher
department by re-ceil,ng and re..seating thu
the entire room, The blackboard occu
pies every available foot, and is in excel
ent condition A class room has als'
been fitted up. which can be used to grea
advantage whenever the services OF an
additional teacher are required.
On Saturday, the 9th ult., an exami.a

SPRING opens in the most enhancing
and appropriate manner in this vicinity.
Old winter seems to have exhausted his
vindictive forces in the "blizzards" of a
few months since, and to be not inclined
to make himself further disagreeable by
sitting in the tiowery lap of the tair
maiden who comes after. April sunshine
and showers, smiles and tears are the or
der of the day, and the young grass is al
ready springing up and spreading YER
dant carpet over the field and prairie
Notwithstanding the forebodings of the
winter, the spring bids fair to be the
earliest for agricultural operations for
some years.

DIDN'T PAY.-SOme business men act
in regard to advertising as if it was the
the object of their business life to keep
from the people knowledge of the fact
that they have something to sell, and that
they can offer special advantages TO buy
ers The career of such one is thus de-
scribed by the Grinneil Herald:
"Nine or ten months ago man came
to this town and started in business with
a good stock of goods and q good sale
room. A short time ago he gave up and
moved away. 1t did not pay. During
his whole stay he had spent only one dol
lar and twenty-five cents in letting the
people know that he wanted to do bust
ness. Of course it don't pay"

THE Neacs says that the stock of the
Usage Manufacturing Works is advancing
rapidly, $1,000 Of it recently changing
hands at %! per cent premium The cap
ital stock of the concern is $4,000. This
is pretty well for an enterprise that less
than eight years ago started on the very
smallest SCALE having to borrow money
to erect the necessary buildings. 1t is
now large and tlourishing establish
ment employing from 30 to 40 hands,
importing material from foreign countries,
sending its manufactures to dozen
States and constantly widening the sphere
of its usefulness We have before allud-
ed to this enterprise and its humble be
ginnings rs an example of what manufac
turing, in skillful hands and properly en-
couraged, may grow to, even in small
towns. We presume it has already paid
the citizens of Usage more than 800 per
cent. on all the aid extended to it. We
need not enforce the lesson it conveys 10
our citizens to go and do likewise.

SUFFERING DAKOTA The were favor
ed with cali this week from Rev G. W.
Freeman of Elk Point, Dakota Territory,
who is on mission of mercy in behalf of
the settlers of that region. Mr.. Freeman
is one of the agents appointed by the
Governor of Dakota to solicit aid for this
purpose, and is amply provided with ere
dentials of his personal and official char
acter. He tells a most piteous tale of the
privations endured by the settlers of south
ern Dakota which have came under his
personal observation A very large share
of them are actually in starving condi-
ton, besides suffering greatly from lack
of clothing. Others have been compelled
to eat the wheat they had saved for seed,
and now, at the outset of the planting sea
son are without the wherewith to raise
crop. Mr.. Freeman says that anything in
the way of food and clothing will be most
gratefully received; but his especial desire
at this particular time, is to secure seed
for the spring sowing. He suggested no
plan for the gathering of benefactions in
this vicinity, but we hope that some of
our benevolent citizens will give shape to
Il movement that will help to relieve the
dire necessities of these sore stricken peo
pie. Very few of our gifts lave gone to
Dacota, and, judging from what is told
us, that locality is in greater straits than
others that lave received more bountiful
aid. Rev Mr.. Freeman is an old acquain-
lance of Rev. w. B Phelps, who vouches
for him and his work.

THE reception by J. c. Ransier the en-
terprising wagon manufacturer, on Chat
ham St. of an order from the State Agent
of the Patrons, for an invoice of his light
wagons, is not only gratifying indication
of the extension of his business, but it
gives our people some idea of what may
be done here in the way Of manufactures.
1t shows that we can successfully COM
pete with other localities, for no buyers
are more eXacting than the agents of the
Grange What is thus done with wagons,
may be done in many other lines of man
ufactured articles, and trade of this
nature once established will continually
grow, and constantly add to the wealth
and population of our city. We are al
ways glad to note items of this nature, and
we hope to have occasion to speak of 9th
er indications that our trade is reaching
out.

TERRIBLE AND FATAL ACCIDENT IN
MIDDLEFIELD TowssHIr.-T above 10.
cality was the scene of one of the most
distressing casualties, ON Friday last, that
ever happened in this county, resulting in
the death of a young man of bright prom
Use, just entering upon life. The name of
the victim was Clarence f. Kershner,
about Is years of age, and the son of Mr..
John kershner, a farmer, living in the
Risely neighborhood in the above town
ship We have heard two or three diff
ferent versions of the manner of his death
1t seems that he attempted to take his gun
in haste from the place where it was de-
posted, grasping it by the barrels, and
that in some way the hammers caught, or
it slipped from his hands, and the muzzles
being toward his breast, both barrels were
discharged, the contents going through
his heart. A young man named Wesley
Pierce caught him as he fell, but of course
death wac instantaneous. This sudden
and untimely accident cast a shade of
gloom over the entire community, the
young man being favoritc with all who
knew him. 1t affords an oft-repeated les
son and warning to all who handle fire
arms. The funeral of young Kershncr
was held on Sunday, a very large assem-
blage Of friends and neighbors attending.
