CUT YOUR FLowERs.-Those having the care

allowed to fully mature upon the stem will inr
jure the bush more than a dozen cut when in

your friends who have less or exchange them
with those who have different varieties. Such
exchanges will not only refresh the bushes
from which the blossoms are taken but it will
refresh the kindly feelings of both donor and

which says it is better to give than receive

AFEARFUL FALL-On last Wednesday night,
Capt. ]. NJ. Hardy fell over the banisters of the
upper porch of his residence on the corner of
Main and Market Streets, to the pavem ent be-
low, distance of some eighteen feet, reaking
his arm and terribly crushing his chin and
jaw bones. No one knew Of the accident until
he had recovered consciousness and, crawling
around the corner distance of some fifteen
yards. knocked at his front door, where he was
found by his wife, Drs. Fauntleroy and Dona-
CHE and Shelton were at once summoned
and rendered the necessary surgical attention.
1t was greatly feared, at first, by his numerous
friends that his injuries would prove fatal, but
we are glad to state thathe is greatly improved
and no fears are now entertained of his ul-
innate recovery. His injuries, however, are
very painful ones and it will be some time be-
fore he will be entirely recovered.

The final examinations have been going
on at our public free schools for the past sever
al weeks and are not yet over. Our citizens
have all fell deep interest in these exercises
as is testified by the large number who daily
attend. We regret that our other duties have
prevented us from being present, but we learn
that they have been highly creditable to the
teachers and Superintendent. and gratifying
to the parents of the pupils. All of our citizens
feel deep interest in the prosperity and prop
er management of our public schools, in which
the foundation is laid for the future advance
ment and education of the young children of
the city. We have heard nothing but words
of commentator of the efficient manner
in which the schools have been conducted
under the SUPPLEMENTARY OF DR.. Hamilton,
who though contending against many disad-
vantages, has partially succeeded in properly
grading many of the schools, and is progress
ing IN this direction as fast as practicable with
those schools which it will require several ses-
sions to get into proper shape.
Our citizens have cause to be proud of these
schools, and we feel sure will have no cause to
regret any outlay that may be necessary to
keep them in a prosperous condition.

i've years. He returned home at a quarter
past FIVE O'Clock on Thursday evening,
and asked his daughter-in-law to get him
an egg from the fowl-house. On pro-
ceeding into the yard he became excited,
and, after using a frightful oath in refer
ence to his death, he ran into the parlor,
vomited blood, and fell dead in the arms
of female who had been nursing his
daughter Mrs. Fall stated that decesed
did net say "God strike me dead" but he
used words of similar character. The
jury found verdict OF death from ex-
citement,n and the Coroner's experience
enabled him to narrate parallel case.
A number of persons had assembled in a
tavern at Putney, when man charged
another with taking from him two pence.
The man, after being accused, said, May
God strike me dead if / did it." and he
Immediately fell dead. On being picked
up, the missing two-pence was found
firmly clutched in the deceased's right
