KILGORE Bros, while engaged in
slicing logs short distance south of
town, met with an accident which will
cause damage Of perhaps $25. Forty
years previous las was ascertained by
counting the growtbs), twenty penny
spike had been driven into an oak tree,
and was imbedded to depth of about
four inches. 1t was struck by the saw,
which was so badly damaged that it had
to be taken off. Many years ago a
church stood near the place where the
timber was cut, and it is supposed the
spike was driven in the tree for conve-
nience in hitching.
A HALF DOLLAR has come into the
hands of your correspondent which
would prove of more than its face value
to certain man or woman if still living.
1t bears date of 1881, and the word BORN
can be seen with the naked eye, and also
other faint and illegible marks. Upon
placing it under microscope an inter-
|esting record is developed, showing that
F. n. NJ. was born and other interesting
particulars. The baby also cut his or
her teeth upon it, as it is perforated for
the cord (the perforation much abraded
or worn away and there are still marks
Of infantile teeth in the surface of the
coin. The baby likely has grave bios
SONS in its hair now. Does this coin be-
long to "Mahoner"
A DAY in Flushing cannot fail to be
q pleasant one, as the citizens are cOur-
teous to strangers, and there is busi-
ness that gives life to the town. The
citizens are kind and neighborly, al
though at present there are conflicting
interests concerning the new school
building, but this unpleasantness will
soon pass away, and all be friends again.
The teachers crucifxion took place
there on Saturday, and your correspond
ent was on hand to look up AL interest
ing item concerning it, but failed. The
"Golgotha" was in the basement Of the
Christian Church. There were perhaps
twenty-one applicants, and many of
them youthful ones. Some of the citi-
for them to enjoy except the reading.
With number of other prominent
teachers, as spectators, we met Miss
Matte Hollingsworth, Messrs. j. C.
Bethel, Robert Voorhees,, Henderson
Bros, J. A. Brown. We called on a
number of merchants and tradesmen,
and found them all enjoying prosperity.
Flushing would be a good site for q
Teachers Institute.
Mr.. JAS. KINNEY is buying up sheep
in this locality, and there are great

No. 1O1-We infer that "five feet tall'
is Il correct expression; put the question
thus-"How tall are yon?" Answer
Five feet. What is his height? Ans.
Five feet. A tree is tall-the top is
high. Of course, feet is the plural of
foot.
102-Would suppose the longest word
in our language to be, orthonitromoAo-
brOncinnamic (acid). .....,
103-It is conceded by some learned
men that we can travel east faster than
west. We partake of the same motion
of any moving body on which we are
placed. On board train in rapid mo-
tion bullet fired from either end of the
car will traverse the space in the same
time, therefore the above theory is not a
correct One The statement made by
some that they have stood on the rear
platform OF "A swiftly moving car, leap
ed up in the air and landed on the sue
ceeding car, is false and ridiculous.
1O4- Glucose is made by digesting
corn. saw-dust, or old rags, with oil of
vitriol (sulpharic acid). Candy is adul-
terated as high as 40, and brown sugar
as high as 20 per cent. H.
