EXCITEMENT AND SUDDEN DEATH At A FU.
NEEAL-Last Friday as the funeral procession
bearing the remains Of Mrs Margaret Street, was
on lis way from her late home at Mill Green to
Statewide Presbyterian Church, in ascending
n steep hill about n mile from Mill Green,
the horses drawing the hearsc refused TO go for
ward, and backed down the hill into the carriages
behind. The stubborn animals were taken out
and Mr. William Roberts horses were suhsttut-
ed. The other horses were attached to Mr..
Roberts carriage, which was sent back TO Mill
Green. On the way back they ran away and in
jurcd the carriage
One of the pail bearers, Mr.. John Robinson,
who had been seated in Mr.. William Roberts
carriage, got in with Mr. John B. Roberts. AZ
ter driving quarter of mile, Mr.. Roberts OBJ
served that his companion suddenly became
quiet and found that he was very pale and
spcechlcss. The carriage was stopped and Mr..
Robinson was carried into n house near by. Dr.
Thomas II. Roberts administered rcstoratiyes,
but without avail, and in ten minutes afterwards
Mr.. Robinson was dead. DR.. Roberts pronounced
ii case of heart disease. The funeral cortcge

TO Child and Parent.

With the beginning of the present week
many of the other institutions of learning
throughout the county and State. While we
sympathze with the little ones who must ex-
change their days of idencss and pleasure for
the school room and its labors, we urge them
to do it with will, and to lose no time in re.
pining over lost pleasures A moments
thought of the money spent for their cduca-
ton, and the loss of their services to parents
that they may be educated, will convince
them that their most earnest efforts are due
towards gaining good education. Those
who go briskly to work in the school room,
and do not grow faint with the first failure,
not only make rapid and lasting improve
ment, but form for themselves business
habits, which are invaluable in later life.
But the child may complain that while
anxious to go to school it is kept at home for
various reasons by its parents. We regret
to say that this is only too true. Too many
persons, thinking only of the value of
child's labor, will keep it at home, thus doing
an injury to it, the school and the communi.
ty at large. If parents are not able to send
their children to school until they reach man
hood, they should at least keep them there
regularly during the carly years ofchildhood.
This certainly can be done with but little
sacrifice, and will lay the groundwork of an
education which the grown man can develop
himself. On the contrary, the too frequent
habit of sending child to school but half
the time, and that at long intervals, cannot
be productive of fair education, and inn
plants in the childs bosom thorough dislike
for the school room and everything therein,
and makes him hail with delight the day
when his manhood allows him to shake its
dust from his feet.
Large sums of money are spent every year
in the cause of education, and it is duty
parents owe the community, the teacher and
the child, to see that the school-rooms are
well filled.

to the Marylanders was made by DR.. j. w. Kerr,

of relieving human suffering, and for the inter-
change of experience and opinion-all of which
tends to make better physicians.
