He Didn't sell.

~ b'lieve Ill sell the farm, Jane Ann, and buy
house in town;
Jones made all offer yesterday-he'n nav the
money down.
He said he wasn't anxious, but he had the cash
And reminded me that nov adsys cash sales are
very rare.
The farm amt worth much, anyway, the soil is
mighty thin,
And the crops it yields are hardly worth the put
! tim of them in;
Besides, that pesky railroad that they're putin
through this way,
Will cut the old place slap nto-Jones told me SO

A Girl Takes the Deer by the Horns

Miss Emma Richards, of Akron, a girl
twenty years of age, was with her
mother visiting at the residence of MIR.
Timothy Loomis, in Lodi, when a son of
Timothy, surnamed Phineas, proposed
that he should show her n small herd OF
deer that were kept in an inclosure on their
premises. The young lady consented, and
Phineas started into the brush to start
them up, the young lady meanwhile stand
ing at the gate to await the appearance of
the menagerie Suddenly she heard cry
Of murder in the somewhat juvenile
voice of Phineas. Never thinking of fear.
Miss Richards started in the direction Of
the noise, and after going few rods dis
covered the boy pinned to the earth, while
an angry buck stood over him. with the
prong of one horn through the flesh of the
bows side and imbcdded in the earth. She
instantly graspcd club and went for Mr..
Buck. He paid no attention to the first
and second blows, but when she gave hir !:
the third crack he turned and went tor her.
Unable to ward off his approach with the
club, she dropped it, and grasped him by
the antlers, at the same time calling to the
boy to arise and put for the fence. He was
either too much hurt or too badly scared
to mind her, and SO, disengaging one
hand, she lifted the boy to his feet, at the
same time crowding the deer back with
the ether Once on his pins young Phineas
found his speed, and put for the fence like
streak of lightning on a copper rod,
while the brave girl gave all her attention
to Mr.. Buck. 1t was lively tussle, and it
kept all her nerve and pluck to prevent her
being thrown to the ground. Still hold
ing on to the horns, she backed off gradu-
| ally, and in that manner reached the fence,
but not till her clothes were badly torn
and her body was bruised again and again.
At last, nearly exhausted, she reached the
fence and succeeded in getting over it with
out receiving any serious injury. 1t was a
close call; but the spunk that many man
could not have furnished won the day.

Your Local Paper.

The New York Times says you might
nearly as well forget your churches, your
academies and your school ouses as to
forget your local paper. 1t speaks to ten
times the audience that your local minister
does. 1t is read eagerly each day and
week from beginning to end. 1t teaches
you all, and if it has a lower and less wis
dom than sermon, it has thousand times
better chance at you. Lying as it does, on
almost every table in every house, you
owe to yourselves to rally literally to its
support, and exact from it as able, high
toned character as you do from an edu-
Gator in your midst. 1t is in no sense be-
meath notice and care-for it is your repre-
sentative. Indeed. in its character, it is the
elimination of the importance, interest
and welfare OF all. 1t is the aggregate OF
yonr consequence, and you cannot ignore
it without miserably depreciating yourself.
First Elements Of Smoking.
| Let every honest smoker take courage.
| Cigars are not made out of cabbage leaves.
| The British Government discusses the sub
ject of tobacco adnltcratiOn in big blue
book, WHICH contains a taiAiated account
of the seizures of the spurious article made
in the United Kingdom since 1864, and in
the cabbage blossom. But there are many
suspicious things among the Ingredients,
as the abstract in Pail Mall Gazette shows.
The first sort is required for the actual sub
stance of the cigar; the second for imprOv-
ing its outside appearance; and the third
for imparting to it what is supposed to be
a better taste. In the former category the
! favorite substances seem to be the leaves of
tie lime-tree, the husks of wheat and oats,
cotton, yarn, and tonquin bean. But there
are numerous eases where the ingredients
have been mach more curiOusly selected,
and have iacluded cocoanut fibre. small
seeds. cotton, wood, and bread At one
establishment fifty pounds of tobacco dust
We're found and analyzed, when it was
shown to contain string, wood, nails,
grindings Of tebaace-pipe, dirt and al sorts
of refuse. Another large class of materi-
ais is apparently used for securing the adj
hesion and consistency of the cigar when
made. AaaRgst these, starch is the most
promineat; but it incln.es gum and ami
dine. hse, gum arabic, glue. glycerine. and
essential oils. The color of the fabrication
is the next thing to be attended to, and for
this purpose resort is had to yellow ochre,
red sandalwood, logwood. lampblack, and
Venetian red. AS for the flavor of the
cigar, it is varied to suit tho most diverse
tastes; but the usual object seems to impair,
to 1t pleasing sYeet4ess of tone. Accord
ingly sacchaf;He matter, and especially tire
acle, is very largely pressed into the ser.
vice. Far those who like rather more
decided taste, liquorice, salt. logwooL, elyc.
eriHe, and aniseed are used

The act of the last legislative session es-
tablishlng high school board has elected
greater interest than even the most sanpuine
advocates OF the measure anticipated. Ap-
pllcatlons for admission under the privileges
accorded by the law have poured in upon the
board from all sections of the State, many
being from the most unexpected quarters
10 the board as we'll as to all having the ad-
vancement of popular education at heart, this
eagerness is most gratifying assurance
that the public at large possess deep seated
attachment to the public school system, and
that there exists, even in the comparatively
obscure communities of the State
an inbred desire for a higher
order OF education. There have
been received twenty applications, which the
board considers will be all they can enter
tain, as it will exhaust the $4,000 appropria-
tea by the act, in this wise: Twenty schools
at at, $4oo, would take $4,000, leaving only
$1,000 for travelling, postage, stationery and
other needful expenses. Of course. some of

The A,eju, traits OF LIE Work.

The New Ravens were recently white
washed by the Madden brothers, whereupon
the Register comments thus: ssHe lives or
did ive-in Marlboro, Mass. Somewhere
along in the forties-1845 or 1847-he en-
tered upon the laudable work of raising a
family. He was blessed with numerous
boys. His labors continued for many wears:
he struggled during the best part ofshis life
to rear family which should be a JOY in his
declining years, solace in his old age, and
honor to his name. And what is the result?
base ball nine!-nine brothers with flannel
suits, canvas shoes, and hands that are
webbed--like ducks foot. He is doomed
to be known asthe father of a pitcher, a
catcher, short-stop, three bases, and three
tielders-and nothing else. Talk about the
solitude that coses around the life of the
ancient bachellor-the desolate feeling that
pervades him when death comes to claim
him and finds none to weep; but his last
