In my last communication, three

At this writing the mercury stands at
SO0-summer heat. 1t reached SO

With the warm weather and gentle
showers vegetation has pushed forward
more rapidly than ever saw it. All
nature is clothed in living green. 1t
seems you can see the wheat grow.
We learn that a neat depot is to be
erected at Cowan. There is also talk
of building a first-class hotel soon. We
think a good hotel is much needed.
Several new buildings are in contempla-
ton.

Miss Maud Terrill.

In the Normal Student" Ga month
ly, devoted to the mental improvement
of both sexes, published at Whitesboro,
Texas, and edited by the Faculty and
students of the Whitesboro Normal
School, we find the following editorial
compliment to Miss Maud Terrill, Of our
town, who was lately member Of the
Faculty of said institution:
"Thcre seems to be universal re-
greet among the students and patrons OF
our school at the departure Of Miss
Maud Terrill They esteem her mod
ell young lady and an excellent teacher.
The good work she has done here will
be long remembered. Her name will
ever be dear to the memory of the pres
ent students of Whitesboro Normal.
She will be loved and admired wherever
she goes"
From the same issue april, 1881, }
we take pleasure in extracting the fol-
lowing:
Alta joint meeting of the Trustees and
Faculty Of the Whitesboro Normal, the
following resolutions were adopted:
WHEREAS, Since Miss NJ. Maud Ter
rll has this day severed her connection
with the Whitcsboro Normal, be it re-
solved,
1st. That in her departure the school
has lost an energetic worker, the Sab
bath School Jealous laborer, and our
town an appreciated citizen.
2nd. That our appreciation Of her
services has been cqualed only by her
merit of the same.
Bird, That we heartily recommend her
to those with whom she may hereafter
be associated, as successful teacher
and a Jealous worker.

Capt. T. d. Gregory lately returned,
Disguised, from acknowledgement
because his celebrated hounds ran 50
much faster than the foxes that he
could have no fun. In less than one
quarter of an hour he would catch a
gray fox, but it took about half an hour
to take in Il red fox. He says he will
trade or give away his dogs for some
that are less swift Of foot, to the end
that he can have more fun when hunt
ing. This is rare chance for persons
who want fast dogs, as it is we'll known
that Gregory has the finest imported
and domestic stock, and lifetime de-
voted to dogs enables him to judge Il
dogs capacity the moment he sees Him.

Alpine AYalanches.

The warm weather which has lately pre-
vailed in Southern Europe, after the inn
mense quantities of snow which had fallen
naturally led TO several avalanches in the
Alps. On February 13 terrible one de
scended from the slopes of Mont Pourri, and
covered with a mass of snow, thirty feet
deep, the village of Breyieres. in the Tignes
Commune. Thirty persons were buried I'M
der the snow, and no less than 200 peasants
from the neigh5orhoed were engaged in sink
ing pits to reach the buried houses. OF the
buried, twenty-five were found alive. four
were dead, and three are not yet discovered.
Two days later another avalanche descended
from the same mountain, and covered a
space 10000 meters wide with a mass of snow
fifteen to twenty meters deep. The pressure
of air displaced by the avalanche was 50
great that all the windows of the village
were broken within a few seconds. The
quantity of snow fallen during the previous
days was so great that all communication
was broken mp between Brevieres village
and the bottom of the valley; q peasant from
Tignes took thirteen hours to reach the next
town. BOurg-Saint- Maurice, travelling in the
snow more than one meter deep.

The Higher Education for Women I'm En-
lgland.

The cause of higher education for women
has had a signal triumph in England in a
vote just taken by the Cambridge Senate,
permitting the admission of women To- the
Tripos examinations in the University. The
Syndicate appointed to consider the ques-
ton were nearly unanimous in their report
in favor of the proposition, bat the recon-
mendations which they made were com
promise. They refuse degrees, but admit
women who have kept their terms at Cir
ton, Newman, or similar institutions, that
may hereafter be founded, to the Tripos ex-
aminations, and grant them certificates,
stating the place they have gained. This is
formal recognition of privilege that has
been enjoyed as a favor for the last FIVE
years. The extreme memOralists desired
the grant OF degrees which would have in
volved fellOwships and lectureships, but the
syndicate were rot prepared to go as far as
this. There can be no question that public
opinion in England is rapidly advancing on
the subject of woman's education, and the
extraordinary vote by which this innsTation
was carried at the University of Cambridge
39S to 81, may justly be regarded as very
remarkable sign of the times.

Fave,s Comet.

The British Royal Astronomical Society,
at its recent annual meeting, presented us
gold medal to Professor Axel Moller, Direc-
tor of the 0bservators at Lund, in sweden,
for his investigations on the motion OF
Faye's comet Professor Moller's researches
commenced in 1860, soon after attention had
been directed to this comet by the offer OF
prize for the accurate determination
of its orbit by the Society of Natural
Sciences of Dantzic, and they have
been continued to the present time, the
comets track at each of the three subsequent
returns in 1S65l66, 1878, and lSS0-'Sl, having
been predicted with a precision which has
excited in no small degree the admiration
of astronomers; indeed, at the reappearance
in 1873, NJ. Stephan's first observation at the
Observatory Of MHseilles showed that the
error of predicted place was less than SIX
seconds of arc, anc after the last revolution,
when the perturbations frVm The action
of the planets were greater than in
any previous revolution since the comet was
first detected by NJ. Faye, in 1Si3, the agree
ment between observation and calculation
was still very close. One important result
of these investigations has been a striking
confirmation, from the motion of Faye's
comet of the value for the mass of Jupiter
deduced by Bessel from the elongations of
the satellites, the two values according with
in the limits of their probable errors.

Medical Ellis nIissonri.

The Missouri Legislature has killed bill
to restrict the practice of medicine TO the
Possessors of medical diplomas The argu-
ment which defeated the measure was that
a good Doctor is known by his cures. and
that a bad one is not improved by a certif
cate. 1T lisa grave mistake" said one ooPo-
nent of the proposed law. Ito considermedi-
cine a science. 1t is essentially empirical,
and its practice is simply a conformity with
certain rules founded on experience. The
experience OF. the individual is of vastly
more importance as guide than the re-
corded experience of others, and the only
effective way to learn the practice of medi-
cine is to practice it. 4 special preparation
is not superfuous, and certificate of COM
potency is not Objectionable, but they should
stand for what they are worth. The people
are able to take care OF themselves, and, as a
general thing manage to starve out medical
pretenders."
