PRIxsTI-AxD IrENs.-Having not seen in
your columns anything under the head of
Linwood Items for sometime, thought per.
haps something from Priestland would be &C
ceptable TO your many readers.
Priestland valley lies on Little Pipe Greek,
aud Is fertile IN the extreme, as the wide :
spreading wheat fields show to all who see fit
to pass through this lovely valley. The farm
ers are athrifty, industrious people; and more
than this, quiet and law-abiding also. To be
sure they labor hard both with hand and brain,
bat their wages are good, and their stock and
farms are something to be proud Of.
The grass is heavy, and there will be,
weather permitting, great deal of hay stored
for future use. The golden grain never pro-
missed so well, and il nothing happens it from
now on a large crop will be harvested. The
people Of this neighborhood are hospisable
and very sociable. Farming is here carried
on to perfection, the country being well sup
piled with limestone, which IS among the best
Of fertilizers.
Mr. Emanuel Sauble has gotten his new
barn pretty well on towards completion, and
1t stands on the same site that the one which
was destroyed by lightning occupied few
weeks ago. Mr.. /. G. Rinehart is building
large front 10 one of his houses, which leaves
the house L..shaped which is the style of most

by the way, puts US IN mind that this is the
scene Of the boyhood DAYS Of Rinehart, the
sculptor, of whom Carroll county should al
ways be proud.
The school at this place is large and well
attended. At the time of writing the school
has closed here for the year. The pupils of
Prestiand school recently presented their
teacher with nice photograph album at the
close of the school, and numerous other little
gifts as a token OF respect. The book was
bought by contributions from the following
named pupils The Misses Elsie G. Shriner,
Louie 81. Senseney, Florence r. Shriner.
Joanna Kelly, MolIie ". Englar, Annie l..
Messler, Sadie +. Lampert, Lizzie M. Fuss,
and Masters Freddie ID. Englar, John A. Eng
lar, Wesley S. Repp, Frank J. Shriner, and
also a beautiful floral tribute from Miss Mollie
Englar, and several others. For all of which
the children have his heartfeltthanks. Some
times the teachers life seems a hard one, in
deed, but such little acts make him feel there
are some bright spots even IN teachers life.
Victory FOR CLovERBROoK.-Mr. E. A.
CIabaEgh's horse Cloverbrook achieved a
handsome victory at Jerome Park, New York,
Saturday, in winning the WOodburn stakes
over the best field that ever contested for il.
The race for four-year olds, 500 entrance,
half forfeit, s 900 added, the second horse
to receive $500 out of the stakes. Two miles
and half There we're thirty two nomina-
tons, FIVE Of which came to the post. These
were p. Lorillards Zoo-Zoo, w. Astor's
Frederick the Great, A Belmont's Susque-
hanna, e. v. Snediker's Cuba, and L. A.
Clabaugh' Cloverbrook Cuba took the lead
followed closely by Cloverbrook, and in this
position the race was run until entering the
home-stretch on the last mile, when Clover
brook's turn came, and Cuba weakened.
Cloverbrook gained as he rushed up the track,
and he passed the winning-post two lengths
ahead of Cuba. Susquehanna came in third,
and Zoo-Zoo bad fourth. Time for the two
miles and a-half, 4.473. The stakes were
worth s., 1850 to Mr. Clabaugh.
The New York World says "A gratifying
feature of Cloverbrook's success is that he
will make a good cup-horse and worthy
competitor against Gen. Phillips for all such
events, so that even in Paroles and 0chil-
trees absence races Of two miles and upwards
can but be good. The New York Herald
says "Cloverbrook made the best and gamest
race of his life, and won well in hand
