A WILD FRESHMAN LoosE.-An exciting
scene, not unmixed with a ludicrous ele-
ment, occurred on our streets on Saturday
last. One of the patients at the Insane
Hospital, an Irishman, from Dubuque,
succeeded in evading the watchfulness of
the attendants and made tracks for town.
Coming to the main road, he intercepted
farmer in wagon with high crate,
containing two hogs. The crazy man,
without SO much as saying, "by your
leave" mounted the wagon and selling
the long ends of the lines began to larrup
the horses, at the same time yelling as
only crazy Irishman can The farmer
had no time TO scrutinize his involuntary
passenger, his whole attention being re-
quired to keep the horses from running
In this way the establishment came down
Main street, across the bridge and into
the thickly crowded street; the crazy Pat
lander laying on the strap and yelling at
the top of his voice, the hogs squealing
and the farmer holding back for dear life
The team was stopped by the crowd op-
poste the New York Store, and two Of the
Hospital employees, who had carly got
track of the lunatic, coming up, he was
overpowered after IA sharp struggle, bound
and taken back to duress, The falmer
seemed glad that the adventure had turned
out no worse. With his experience, he
would doubtless rather haul hogs than
lunatics, and fervently hopes that he may
never again have load of both.

WE give this week another communica-
ton from "a Mother" relative to the
schoolgirl question. 1t will be observed
that she abandons the theory advanced in
her former communication, that the ina,
bility of young girls to climb the inter
minable stairs in our school buildings
without injury and bodily prostration, is
due to repressed respiration caused by
tight dr. ssing, and falls back on the gen
eral theory that girls are uncomfortably
and improperly clothed, and therefore,
incapable of the fatigue endured by boys.
AS before stated, we do not intend to take
issue on this subject. She says that girls
in their God-given estate are not subject
to weakness. Unfortunately, in this ques-
ton of climbing schoolhouse stairs, we
Are not dealing with girls in their God
back to it, we cannot afford to ignore
causes which conduce to their permanent
injury apd i'll health Our correspondent
recognizes this and is constrained to admit
that "our school buildings are sadly de-
ficient' in the direction in which we criti-
cized them. This is the point we set out
to establish, and we think that all candid
persons must admit that the construction
of our school buildings is prejudicial to
the health of the pupils. Now for the
remedy.

Boys and Girls.

EDITOR BULLErIN-If agitation of
thought is the beginning of wisdom" may
we not be gaining wisdom by discussing
the "fteCdtor" question little farther,
for, though you say in extenuation of
their weakness, that girls are girls and
cite the medical profession as your endor-
sers, still insist that girls, from birth,
should they be clothed IN all directions
Il do not mean about the waist merely,
just as beautifully as boys, and all allow
ed the same out door air and exercise,
would climb the stairs with the same ease ;
not that | am defending stair climbing,
being fully aware that there is far greater
waste of power in that way than walking
on level, and that our school buildings
are sadly defective in those directions. If
girls are thus enfeebled, then l think it
ought to be sufficient to startle and awak-
en- every mother in the land to more
common sense view of clothing their
daughters BEAUTIFULLY, for, though you say
mot one in ten of our girls but are cloth
cd as sensibly as boys" I cannot see ii,
and must ask you to point out one girl in
this or any other town that is dressed as
sensibly as boys. Look at our boys, clad
in wooden, heavy and warm, vests, coats,
and pants, warm stockings and boots, and
contrast it with what many of our girls
wear; thin under garments, calico dresses.
and worst of all, thin stockings and shoes,
leaving the limbs not half protected; how
long would our boys be able to climb
stairs or be any more efficient than girls
put in their places?
am still forced to deny that girls in
their God-given estate re subject to great
er conditions of weakness" than boys
They are differently constituted but would
not be subject to these weaknesses" had
they, and their mothers in the generations
of the past, lived true to the laws of their
being I wish could make every person
believe that it is sinful to be sick, just the
same as to commit any other wrong, for
sickness is natures protest against the vi
olation of natural laws. Hoao can re, as
tA istidns, suffer ourselves to look idly
on, and hear one and another enchanting:
"Why! we can't forego all these old time
customs and usages.' Then, allow me TO
ask, Are we living true to our higher
sense of right, as we have received il from
our Maker? or are we pan6ering to an un-
Christian public sentiment, that binds the
masses, that they dare not strice to think
truly? am not unmindful that much of
the difficulty arises from hereditary trans
mission but that falls equally upon both
sexes, and it is all the more needful that
this question should be agitated from the
higher stand point of right, that the sa
cred and divine mission of motherhood
may be understood, and our children rear
ed under true conditions. would, let us
hope, sometime in the not distant future
reach their first estate, having sound bod
aes, capable of filling their places i'll the
acorlds aoork, whatever it might be.

A BAD Holt. Two weeks ago, one
John X. Holt, formerly in the employ of
S. M. Osgood as travelling salesman, in
serted notice III the BULLETIN-and by
the by, swindled US out of the pay for the
same-to the effect that he could furnish
attachments, &C., for sewing machines
Before orders began to come in lively,
however the Sheriff was on the track of
Mr.. Holt for the purpose of furnishing
him with attachments of another sort,
viz: iron bracelets, perhaps. The way
of it was this: Holt, while working for
Osgood, in September, 1874, sold a sewing
machine to Chas. Cray, a farmer south of
town, taking his note payable in two
years. After taking the note, knowing
that it could not be negotiated with the
company for a longer time than one year,
Holt altered the date 1876 to 1875, which
was, in effect, forgery. The note was
returned here at the time it purported to
be due, September, 1875, and when pre-
sented to Cray, the forgery was at once
detected 1t was also discovered at the
same time, that note taken by Holt for a
sewing machine, sold to NJ G.. Medford,
who lives east of town, and on the face
of it due in 1875 had, also, been altered
by Holt from 1877. When Holt saw the
fix he was in, he obtained the Medford
note from Mr.. Osgood on the pretense
that Medford would cash it, and destroyed
it. He was not so fortunate, however, in
wiping out the evidence furnished by the
Cray note, and last week Mr.. Cray came
to town and filed an information against
Holt for forgery. The writ of arrest was
put in officer Curriers' hands; but Holt
had got wind of the proceeding, and as
the officer entered the front of the build
ing in which was his doE,icile, the slip
perry fellow slipped out at the back, since
which time he has been lost to sight,
though to memory dear.
Since these facts have TRANSFERRED, we
have heard other reports of Hollis doings,
which show him to be "A first class scala.
wag. Doubtless many families in the
county, whose hospitality he has shame.
fully abused, and whose sense of pro-
priety he has outraged by licentious con-
duct, will be glad to learn that the county
is rid of him. We learn that Mr. Osgood
has issued circulars to all who purchased
machines of Holt while in his employ, to
ascertain any other deviltry perpetrated
by him which has. not yet come to the
surface.

The wonderful results and immense sale
of HALE's CoUGH CORDIAL the past season,
ought to convince the most skeptical; still
we are going to continue the same liberal

throat, who will call at Tabor & Sons or
any other drug store and purchase bottle
of HALE's CoUGH CORDIAL, use One-half
of it, and if they then conclude that 1t is
doing them no good, they can return the
balance and receive back their money

liberal terms? No medicine ever sold in
