a young man named Reuben Frazer.
Geo Sink one of his scholars IL years

age as she was passing out Of the
door. The girl relalia,ed by slapping
his face and then Sink struck her
The teacher called hini,up and logged
him till he agreed TO beg the girls
pardon and shake hands with her
This the boy did. The teacher then
told the boy he must, to make full
amends, kiss the girl-jast think OF
Iit-kiss her. This the boy, believing
It TO he wrong to kiss without being
engaged, positively refused 10 do
although the schoolmaster whipped
him Numerically and sent him home
The father of the boy had the teacher
arrested on a charge OF assault and
battery and he was tried before
Justice of the Peace who sustained
Ibis cause and ordered bis discharge
We can but admire the pluck Of Ia,

The public nostrils are now being
RECALLED with the mephitic details OF
two divorce cases 10 high life. Mr..
Christiancy with suborned witnesses
is trying to prove his wife harlot in
order TO obtain a legal separation.
Public sympathy is with the woman
in the case and the opinion is that
Giro the man who te-iifies for Chris
tiancy against his wife is liar and
scoundrel of the fret magnitude,
The Sprague case ia also exciting
public attention. In this case the
woman Is regarded by soIhe as guilty
Of infldelity to hor husband but the
evidence does not prove this. Her
fiiriations with Senator Conkling are
well known to the public, but Sprague
himself is not an immaculate angel
by any means and II che has been
indiscreet 1t is no more than he has
been. Washington city is a sweet
scented rosebud Of a place and two
scandal suits at time furnish plenty
material for gossip. The probabili-
ties are that divorces will be granted
since all parties are "an1ious TO &c

A Thrilling Experience.

A brakeman on the New York,
New Haven and Hartford Road re-
lates the following incident of his
experience:
Another bad fright | had was one
dreadful dark night, when we had
got just below Milford. We were
rushing along at forty-fve miles an
hour-it was passenger train this
time-when all of 4 sudden | felt
the air brakes working and she came
to standstill. There had been three
men killed in as many weeks just
before on our division and | said at
once to myself, we've hit another
man. Just then the conductor told
me to run back and flag the train
behind us. OFF / put in the dark
ness. | fell into two cattle guards
and then went plump over a body
that lay on the track. / picked my
self up and found / was covered
with blood. l tell you it sent cold
chill up my back. Then l turned
my lantern on the body, and you
may believe it took a great load off
me to find it was only a COW. / re-
sumed my run along the track, and
in minute or two | heard a noise
as if some one was following me. l
looked back and could see nothing.
| started on and the noise began
again, sounding just like several per-
sons running along after me on the
ties. | began to get discouraged
and taking off two of the torpedoes
| had fastened to my lantern | twist
ed them onto the rails, thinking that
if anything happened to me or my
lantern the explosion would warn
the engineer of the coming train be-
fore he ran into the COW or into our
train, which had been stopping to
fix something about the engine that
had been broken when we hit the
COW. The torpedoes laid, started
on once more. Again | heard the
steps, this time ahead of me on the
track. | followed on and soon the
train | was tagging came around
curve. BY the glare from the head
light | could see that the patter on
the ties that l had heard was caused
by several COWS and they were right
ahead of me on the track. | made
rush for them, swinging my Ian
tern and shouting and drove them
off into the ditch. kept swinging
my lantern till the train stopped
and got into the engine and told
what was up. | hate now to think
of COWS on the track. How Ia it
COWS and drunken men always put
for the railroad track when they get

How She Retaliatc6.

1t was suit for divorce. The hus-
band, surly, mean-faced, ferret-ey-
ed, beetle-browed man, wanted a di-
vorce from his wife. They were
both in court. The woman was
sickly-looking, and, very likely, had
been driven into mysteries by tho
brute who called himself her hus-
band. The principal witness fol-
the plaintiffwas another beetle-brow.
ed, terret-eyed, mean-visaged fellow
who was shop keeper for the latter
and boarded in his family. And
this witness had been cooked
had been "done up brown" by both
his employer and his employers
lawyer. 1t was plainly to be seer
that he answered by note-that the
words he spoke had been put into
his mouth by another. When the
counsel for the wife came TO ques.
ition this witness, after his own law,
yer had done with him, he said to
him, with a smile, the whole meant
for the jury, of course
you've got your lesson pretty
well, havn't you, sir?"
Il havn't got no lesson"
"AlT right. But let us see. You
say, if | understand you, that Mrs
B has very retaliating disposi-
ton ?"
'Yes sir-that's what / said"
"Wcll and how did she retaliate
give us an instance"
why" grunted the witness with
a stupid look, 1--WE told lots OF
en-"
'Ies, and now / want you to tell
me one. Tell me and the jury il
you please, a marked case of her re-
taliating."
"My I! I've told you once she was
always retaliating."
Exactly but we want a particu-
lar instance so that we can Judge OF
its real merits. Now, look! Did YOU
ever see the plaintiff in this case
your employer kiss his wife ?"
"Yes, sir" the man answered
quickly.
"And what did the woman do on
that occasion ?"
''She retaliated Immediately"
That will do. You may stand
down.
The counsel for the plaintiff would
have called the witness back, but
the judge whispered to him some
thing which nobody else heard, but
which caused him to let the witness
go. The divorce was not decreed.

wintering Stock on Straw.

The present is a season of high
priced fodder. All kinds of coarse
feed finds ready sale in our market
at good price. Hay ranges from
s14 to slS per ton, according to quail
ity. Oat straw brings from SIS to
si0, and is in good demand. Other
fodder sells in proportion to its vel
ue for feeding purposes. This has
caused much stinted feeding among
farmers. Oat and barley straw have
been substituted for hay, in view OF
having a surplus of that article to
carry to market. | heard farmer
say that he had thus far wintered
his cattle almost wholly upon his
straw stack, built in the center OF
his barnyard. | visited his barn
yard and found his stock had eaten
far into the lower portion of the
stack. Little other feed Ga few corn
stalks had been given them. His
stock, seemingly, was in good condi-
ton. The animals appeared full
and hearty. But, as | ventured to
suggest to the farmer, appearances
are deceiving. The stock, well filed
with the large bulk of straw which
they had eaten, appeared better
than they really were. Young,
healthy cattle, brought into their
winter quarters in good flesh, will
subsist largely upon good straw un-
til midwinter, and show to the own
er no marked falling off in flesh.
But if the same feed is continued
the stock will, unless fed grain, show
a sudden falling off in condition be-
fore Spring. have always thought
it poor economy, even in seasons of
scarcity of fodder like the present,
to save fodder at the expense of
stock.
1t is wise economy at such times
to employ every paying method by
which less food will be required !;
but it is not prudent to deprive
stock in any instance of their just
allowance. Good oat or barley straw
is useful auxiliary in wintering
stock, when feed in connection with
grains or other fodder, but it cannot
be relied on alone.-Cor. Country
Gentlemen.

Expulsion from the Gard en- of Eaen.

Old Judge Gustavus Swan, Of
Columbus, Ohio, was a character"
of his day. One day missionary
called on him for a contribution.
Now" said the Judge, "I'll tell
you what I'll do; | will ask YOU
a simple question in the scripture,
and if you answer it correctly | will
give you twenty-five dollars; if not,
nothing"
The clergyman frightened up at
once and agreed to the proposition.
well, now" said the Judge.
"can you tell me why God drove
Adam and Eve out of Paradise
Certainly" said the clergyman,
''that is very simple question; it
was because they ate the forbidden
fruit contrary 10 the command OF
God"
There" said the Judge, ''it is as
| supposed have asked the ques-
ton of . hundred different clergy
men and never yet got a correct
answer. see you are no wiser
than the rest. You ought to give
me twenty-five dollars for being so
ignorant of the most important fact
in connection with the fall of man.
But will send you away with my
simple blessing and the true answer
to the question. If you will look
into your Bible, which YOU seem to
have read so carefully, you will see
it written: And the Lord said, Be-
hold the man has become as one of
us, to know good and evil; and now,
lest he put his hand and take also
of the tree of life and live forever,
therefore the Lord sent him forth
from the Garden of Eden to till the
ground from which he was taken
Think" added the Judge, with a
sly twinkle in his eve, what great
mercy it was to drive them out, for
suppose they had by some chance
got hold of the tree oflife, and thus
the tree had been perpetuated for
eyer on the earth. Why, by this
time we would have been piled
mountain high upon each other,
and what an awful struggle there
would have been for life and hap
piness." The clergyman departed a
wiser if not happier man.
