FAsTEsr STALLION IN oHIo.-Slnce the death OF
lhe celebrated stallion, Mohawk, Jr, the sorrel
stallion Hylas belonging to Kitzmlller & Sons, of
this city is without doubt the fastest horse of the
class In Ohio. He has trotted but three races this
season. all in Michigan, and won first money In
two ofthem and second money In the other. At
Saginaw he won first money In three straight
heats, making them as follows: 22Gl6, 226 and
224l9, coming within second or two Of Mohawk's
best record, At Jackson his time was slower, ow.
Ing to the bad weather and muddy condition of
the track, though he managed to get in fast
enough TO take second money. The last race he
trotled was at Detroit ON last Friday, He was en-
tered III the 2SO class, against numerous other fly.
ers' ana sold first choice IN the pools The race
was called late on Friday afternoon, and Hylas
won the first two heats in 2;27 and 2'2s%. The
third heat was won by Marion in 2.27, and the
fourth by jim Fiske In 900, Hylas having become
rather Eighty and was set back to second place
both heats for running. The race was then post
poned on account of darkness but on, the next
day Hylas went in and In good style won the fifth
heat and the race We have not learned the time
of the fifth heat The first money was $500. Judge
Weite the other promising trotter belonging to
the same parties, is not in good condition, has
been feeling out Of sorts since the season opened
and consequently has not been doing as well as
Vas expected of him, though he trotted last sea-
son In shade under 2;27, having previous to that
feat been classed with the $50, 800, and $3.50
horses AT Detroit he was entered in the 227 and
2Si classes, owing to his imperfect condition,
however, he stepped into no winning place in the
first race, but In the latter he won fourth place
against ten starters. But Waite will come out In
time, it Is undoubtedly in him, and as he is young
and comparatively green, 1t may take little time
to get him down to lis best

A GREAT CHANGE.

The opening of the large Dry Goods
Establishment of R. A. DeForest, of
Cleveland, in the two Opera House
Stores, has made great change in the
Dry Goods business of Canton. Mr.. De-
Forests manner of doing business is en-
tirely different from the old Credit
Houses. Having buyer in the eastern
markets, he is continually receiving and
opening large Job Lots of goods, which
he retails at about one-half of the regu.
lar market value. This week he is open
ing Job Lot of Dress Goods, Alpaca
and Ladies' Linen Suits.

On the night previous to the Fourth of July,
when the shrill shrek of sharp whistles and the
clang ofbels first broke out on the night air Paul
and Jim, at the engine house, jumped out oftheir
beds and into their clothes, and rushed down
stairs to the stable, hurried out the horses and in
almost less time than it takes to tell it they had
the quenching apparatus ready to put out fire Of
any size. Just then, however, before they rushed
out to hunt the flames, it suddenly struck them
that it was the first of April or Fourth of July or
some other big day, and they quietly put the
horses back and returned to their beds.

The Educational Monthly by W, D. Henkle, ed
itor and publisher, Salem Ohio says: Necessity
is the mother of invention. We had striking IL
lustration of this fact on recent visit to the pub
lie schools of LeetOnia, Ohio Miss Sinclair,
whose previous experience in teaching had been
confined to rural schools, had charge of the
youngest class of pupils There being but one set
of charts for several rooms, she was compelled to
devise substitute in teaching the beginners
We consider the substitute better than charts
alone. The plan of work is briefly this The
teacher cuts from newspaper slips about two
inches long the width of column, and places
these in the hands of each pupil at the close of
lesson, after the pupils have been drilled, say in
words of two letters, on a chart or on the black
board The pupils at their seats examine these
slips for all words that they have learned. This
exercise is exactly in the spirit of kindergarten
work. They indicate the words thus found either
by pin-hole or lead.pencl mark and at the next
lesson they pronounce all the words so marked.
We were delighted with the simple Device and
resolved 10 bring it to the attention of teachers
The device, Notwithstanding its simplicity, has
immense educational value.

WHY rs II,

In answer to the question why it is
that K. A. DeForest is doing SO large a
Srade, we are able to say that the large
business done by Mr.. R. A. DeForest at
Cleveland and other points enables him
to make large purchases of Job Lots of
Goods, this enables him to greatly un-
dersell the market.

SUICIDE NEAR LoUIsvILLE.-0n Tuesday after
noon about half.past four o'clock, and Just after
the storm, the dead body of Levi Oyster was
found hanging to a small wild cherry tree on his
farm, one mile north of the "brlck church." and
two miles northwest of Louisville. Oyster was
about forty years of age and conceded to be
worth eighteen or twenty thousand dollars, hav-
ing retired some time since from the active life of
farmer, He left the house about ten o'clock in
the forenoon and had not returned After the Sc
we're storm, his folks became anxious about him,
and his fatherin-law, Hugh Miller started in
search of him about O'clock, and soon after
found him In field back of the house hung by
the neck with all ordinary clothes line rope, his
feet touching the ground He was dead, and had
evidently hanged himself soon after leaving the
house in the forenoon. He was laboring under
no financial embarrassment, whatever, and was
quiet citizen, at peace with all his family friends
and neighbors. He has, however, been troubled
with liver complaint of late. and at times has
grown despondent, and 1t is thought that he COM
mitted the deed while under the influence of one
of these spells. Esquire Shopp, of louisville was
called upon, and summoning ajury, held an in
quest The facts elected were substantially as
given above, and the jury returned verdict that
he met his death at his own hands.
