time Of his death, had never had . tooth

1T has been profoundly remarked that the
true way Of telling a toadstool from mush-
room is to eat it. nyou die, it was toadstool;
If you hve, it was q mushroom. A similar
method is employed In the selection Of hus-

The 8. NJ. r. r. Co. awards premiums an
nually to the engineers killing the least num-
Der Of stock. For 1873, James McIinden was
awarded the first premium of $50, J. D. Brown,
the second of $50, and o: Holmes, the Cd Of go.
TO the section foremen, for the best results
in track repairing, awards were made as fol-
lows: liver Johnson, section No. ., $50; Thom-
as Shea, section No. 1, &25; Matt Olson, sec
ton No. s, &26; and J. J. Smith. section No. 20,
$25. These ideas are truly commendable.
"A little son of II. N. Crosset, Of Faribault,
met with severe accident at the hands Of his
teacher last Friday morning. His teacher, q
lady, discovered little Sam drumming ON his
desk: in punishment for the same, she requir-
ed him to remain and continue drumming
throughout recess, when 1t appears one Of the
male teachers appears on the stage, requiring
the little fellow to drum on the raised platform,
for tho same period, to which the child demur-
red, whereupon this educator, enforced tho
order, and broke the chiid's leg. The boys
injury, it is feared, may be permanent. This
man educator, we should think, would ind
himself in Z very agreeable state Of mind.
