At the Union sociable at Mr.. Lewis
Clark's Friday evening the usual exercises
were varied by spelling match, the sides
being headed by Miss Ida Wilson and w.
b. Mitchell, with the Rev. Mr.. Milton pro-
nouncer. All went smoothly enough for
awhile, when f. l.. Allen and j. G. Smith
both tripped on grizzled Ass,age carried
OFT Edith Wilson, Francis Clark, S. Atkins
and t. Wing. Miss Noyes and Miss Wake
Held failed on hybrid. J. f. Wing and
Miss Clark couldn't huzza. Misses Hagge-
mann and Russell met their death by
poltroon. c. w. Kingsbury made large
mouthfll Of moiety. Miss Gunderson's
cavalier failed to pass muster. Malcolm
Atkins retired on mendacious. Miss Ida
Wilson Wa overcome by the pageAntry Of
the occasion. Mrs. Prot. Moore came in
for a capsize, and Mrs. Bridgman was too
generous with the rs in wizard. 1t was
tyrannical that seated Mrs. J. G. Smith.
This left Prof Moore and w. B. Mitchell
representing the two sides. In about
minute and a-half the editor of this family
sheet was gently carried out to slow music
for further instruction as to the customary
way Of spelling vaccinate. Prof: Moore
held his ground until given dose of
psychic, which was too much for him.
Sides were chosen again, the last three on
the floor being swept down by cuirassier.
Every person was surprised to find how easy
it was to misspell familiar and comparative
ly easy words under little excitement.
Arrangements have been made by the
ladies of the Union society for a grand
spelling match Tomorrow evening at the
Presbyterian church. There will be two
classes, the first to be headed by Mr.. J. G.
Smith and Miss McCumber; the second by
Prof. Haines and Miss Morse; after which
there will be spelling in the old-fashioned
way Of "going to the foot" Prof: Moore
will be pronouncer and Capt. L. w. Col
Inns referee. Mr.. C. W. Kingsbury and
Miss Crummett are the committee in
charge. Everybody is invited, whether to
spell or to look on. The price of admission

In coming through the woods the rattling
Of stove frightened the horses, which
started to run, throwing the boy, who was
driving, forward and off the wagon He
fell on the tongue and catching with one
arm swung under and held until his
strength was exhausted, when he let go and
one wheel ran over his arm. Almost mi
raculously, no bones were broken. Mrs.
Leonard jumped off the wagon, injuring her
back severely. Mrs. Dayton caught hold
of one line, turned the horses off sharp, up
setting the wagon. She escaped without
injury, as did the horses and wagon. That
the results were not more serious is very
fortunate.
