A few days since. while passing
through Il village on Ihc T.. aud f rail
road, ! observed young lady in MP
p.icant posture. at the front of n nca
looking cottage She was down ON III
ou's, with her face nearly touching the
ground; her long uncrniinci hair float
ing to the breeze in very disorder, gave
her such n strange crazy look that in
stantly concluded she must he dementc .
Being unperccivrd, ! advanced n lew
.teps when my conclusion IA to her san
ity was satisfactorily adjusted in nv
own mind 10y hearing her call in a sing
song tone Of voice. ~ short intervals,
Doodle Doodle! Doodle! Doodle
Doodle !! s.Oni observing her for a
few minutes, when by some awkwardness
on my part, her attention WAS directed
toward me, aud seeing a stranger stand
Ing gazing at her che boited for the door
like II scared rabbit. proceeded onward
% the next house, where a mstronly
lady was leaning over the font gate
According her erquired in AN anxious
tone, AT the same time -p,iuung TO tho
mouse above: elias she been long mad 2
What caused the malud, ?" The lady
appeared somewhat starIle aud sur
prised SIS she quickly asked. What are
you talking about. or what do YOU mean,
sir explained. when an uncontro!la.
tile fit Of laughter seized the good woman .
and with tears standing in her eyes she
sigg ed out, "why, you dog goned fool,
there's nothing the matter with Katie !:
she was only calling docdc-bngsw !
was satisfied
EDUCATIONAL CRITICISM
just listen to the engineer OF the Ed
ucational Column" OF the Breckt nridcs
News, As he dramatically aud with
natural elo1uence says, "The teachers
may think this class is they, but Sill
relieve them, &c" Now the genius who
constructed the above reckless seuteuce
is an A. b, and a professional teacher,
tut il a poor overworked country cor
respondent, CHANGED to get of such AN
awkward muddse of sense, all the pedan-
TIC pedagogucs in the country would go
into Mysteries over this Wholesale butch
ering of honest old Noble Butler. Uni
versity graduates and A. BIS. may be
very good instructors OF youth, but in
nine cases out of ten they prove complete
failures in the newspaper line.
DOCK BRowS's LIFR.
W. X. Haynes, Of Li'chGeld, appears
with the prospectus for his Dock
Brown romance, which will be issued
in book form about the middle Of mex;
January. The story is founded upon
facts that occurred in Gray son county,
some twent, five or thirty FEARS ago, and
is thrIllmg'y dramatic ard entertaining.
The work will he sold by subscription,
but as yet | have not learned the price
a RELIC OF N OLDRx TINE.
In field belonging to Mr.. NJ. Il.
Parrish, on Caney Creek, stapds mons
ument of long ago, in IL form of large
mound, some twelve feet high, 'of "a con>
zeal shape, and measuring $50 feet
around its base. What it was intrr ded
for, or 10y whom constructe ed, is .lsfl' 10
vain conjecture, it never having enc.
cumbed to the P;ek>axe and spade of The
relic hunting Huns OF science. -''
CONTRARY srRISG.
While speaking OF curiositcs, might
mention a spring on the keadwatcrs. O.
Caney that is quite a curiosity IN itself
During the continuance Of rainy weather
it invariably goes dry, while on the other
hand if the season is unusually dry, it
just as invariably flows out in stream
of the purest wafer. Throughout all the
late dry spell, it has furnished water
enough to supply the wants of city
two thousand inhabitants, had
il been convenient 10 such.
-
LIGHT MAST.
-
The mast is very light this fall. and
farmers viii be compelled to feed nearly
all the surplus corn to their hogs, thus
leaving YER, little to be thrown upon the
market, and enhancing the value OF
what will.
COMPLIMENTARY.
| must congratulated he editor on ths
neat appearance Of his second born, the |
DAILY HERALD, and hope it has proved .
success. CABGL.
