NEAL Dow Is an anti.rum fanatic. He
writes to a Western paper that lawyers
arc generally in favor Of srog shops
because sros shops are the great allies
OF law shops therefore the liquor
laws. usually drawn by lawyers. arc
often Intentionally defective. He says
Of Father Mathews work "I have
been In Ireland many times. aud all over
it-North. South. East. West - and
know intimately the whole Of that story.
Father Mathews agitation was a dead
failure; and his statue stands now
in q small square in Cork. surrounded
on every hand by gros shops, which
sprsns up all over the land as soon as
the excitement produced by that admir-.
able man subsidized" The following al.
ditional assertion will probably not so
unehallenged : Father Mathew lived
to see the shipwreck Of the whole move
msnt. and he lamented bitterly. even 10
his last day. that he had not availed
himself OF the overwhelming public
opinion asains. the liquor trade to pro-
cure the enactment. as he could easily
have done. OF a stringent Law stamping
out the traffic. which is in deadly hos.
tility to every interest Of the State and
people."

A Nevada City lady OF high social
standing presents a singular case for the
consideration OF scientists. For many
years past she has been afflicted with
acute neuralgia pains in various parts OF
the body. and some time since, hoping
to ind relief. resorted to the use OF AN
electric battery. She used the apparatus
for six months. but found no relief. Al
the time nothing was noted OF unusual
character as q result. and although sew.
sral months have since elapsed. II was
only when the recent cold weather com.
menced that any extraordinary symp-
toms followed. One night last week tho
lady had occasion to enter q dark room
and pick up n WOODEN coat. As she
did 90 she was both surprised and
frightened to observe q bright light sur
rounding the hand that held the gar
msnt. At the same time electric cur.
rents passed along the arm. shocking
her quite severely. When her husband
was informed OF the fact he discredited
its reality. thinking there was more i'm
~agination than anything else in II. So
the next evening. to convince the in.
crsdulous better half. she turned out
the gas in the room where thoy were sit
ting. and. letting her hair down. began
combing il. A remarkable display Of
light was the result. The sparks flew
in every direction. and there was q

ST. ChroHtds.
The following communication has
been received relative to the proposition
which has been preached requiring all
school teachers TO submit to another s1.
animation in several studies :
To the Editor Of the Chronicle-Sir:
II might be we'll to refresh the public
mind on certain matters. Last session.
be II remembered, Ewald beat the Nc
Carney bill. proposed purpos.ly to create
vacancies in the School Department.
After that defeat. the next best chance
offered has been the present "School
for Scandal" investigation. by which IL
was confidently anticipated among q Ger.
tain set that the desired vacancies might
still DO made. This, too, has failed
in n meaure. and now comes another
proposal. viz : 10 examine every teacher
In the Department in such obtuse and
unanswerable questions In algebra and
arithmetic as will insure the dismissal OF
half the corps rs incompetent. The
alarmed teachers are now in conference.
and have also a proposition to make.
thus /: Resolved. That they shall give a
series Of such conundrums to the Hon.
orable Board OF Education as shall en-
sure twelve vacancies in that honorable

On Sunday, April 9th, there we're tive
| funeral professions and two interments n
Ebenezer the NJ. 4. house OF worship. The
| first was that OF very estimable young lady,
Miss Ida V. Snider, cut down in her twentieth
or twenty. first year, by the fell destroyer
consumption. She died at Elicott City
Those who knew her "at home say she wa.
Of remarkably amiable disposition to all, ant
will be mourniully missed by her friends
The latter was that Of Mr.. Harp, near Bethel
OF the Church Of God, about one mile below
Defiance. Mr.. II. was very old man. III,
went to bed at night as we'll as usual, and wal
found dead next morning.
Mr.. Milton Pickett was out riding one even
| ing last week, when the horse stumbled and
threw Mr. p, rolling quite over him, broke
his leg below the knee and bruised him inter
nally. Ii is thought he will not be able tC
sit on chair for six weeks.
| DIR. o. Warfield, contrary TO all expecta
tions, is so much improved in health as to be
able to ride around in his buggy. We hope
he will soon be able to resume his practice.
| Drs. Woodward 4 Swormstedt seem to be
gaining much patronage and favor in thi:
community.
Last, but not least is an account of May.
ing party at Gilliss' Falls. A portion of the
company started on the creek below Mr.. j.
ii. Gilliss' farm. and one of the ladies' had
the pleasure of plunge bath. IL you only
could have sat with me on the hill Just across
the big meadow from Mr.. Gilliss' mill dam,
you would have enjoyed the pleasures so ex'
quisite to an audience. Just to see those
girls and Master Harry going up the pretty
little race bank! (called by the romantic name
Of Lovers Retreat) All at once they gave a
little scream, and one Of them began striking
the water as if they had discovered toad
frog, or lizard, snake, or las the sweet
darling rose.buds say sometimes) something
lawfully dreadful. 1t only turned out to
de big fish, which Master Harry caught with
his hands. Success to the Maying party, and
if they go again "msy be there to see.'
