james W. Tierney, who has been
q student in the law Office of Hon.

started for Albany, N. Y, on Monday
to attend the Law University there.

If the old academy falls again, new

"A free fight took place in the weaving
room of the wooden mill, at Proctorsville
few days since, between u male and
female operative. The female finally won
the belt by hitting the male over the eye
with shuttle, throwing him down stairs,
and otherwise knocking him to "smither-
GEMS" Those who witnessed the ARRAY
say it was as good as Coup's circus. all
but the bills.
Quite an excitement was created in
town on Wednesday Of last week by the
falling in of the old academy which was
undergoing repairs. The building was
raised about two feet from the foundation
while a cellar was being dug under it,
and 1t fell without mo ncnt's warning.
Three or four men were at work under it
at the time, and fortunately escaped I'M
injured. Otis Robbins, who owns the
building, and has an office on the gound
floor, jumped through window, carrying
sash and glass with him. The raising Of
the building was under the supervision of
C. Goodrich and E. Smell, who, we think,
were not capable of doing the job, never
having raised building before. One
could see at glance that the props were
insecure, and 1t Is wonder that it did
not fall before.
George Delano, Esq. and wife who
have been boarding at F. w. Ely's for
some time past, have returned to their
home in New York City.
The village schools are progress
ing finely, the higher department being

An Old Story.

Fisherman John is brave and strong
None more brave on the coast Than he;
He owns cottage and fishing smack,
As snug As ever need be;
And, what is truer than could wish,
Fishermen ohm loves me.
Often and often when day is doe,
With smiling lips and eager eyes
He comes 10 WOO me. In every way
That man may try, he tries
To win me-but that he can never do,
Though he WOO me till he dies.
Fisherman Jack is a poorer man-
He owns not cottage nor fishing smack;
But a winning voice and smile is his,
And brow that Is never black.
Why should break my heart to tell
But love fisherman Jack.
He love not me, but every night
He sis at the fe ct of X ate Mahon;
Never a heart has she for him;
For she loves Fisherman John,
Who cares no more for love OF her
Than the sea he sails upon.
Often we wonder, do Kate and /,
That fate should cross us so cruelty,
We think of the lovers we do not love,
Aud dream of what life would be
II only Fisherman John loved her
And Fisherman Jack loved me.

doors on the two other sides, and the

The lambrequin was sacrificed, the
