A young man from this town named
Brumier, narrowly escaped violent
death last week. He was in the employ
ment of MIR. Teitgen, and while driving
a load OF hay to town the wagon upset
throwing him head first on the road and
landing part of the hay Oh top of him.
He is not seriously injured.
A difference of opinion prevailed at the
last teachers meeting as to where the
next meeting should be held. The diff
ficulty of arriving at satisfactory con-
clusion was handsomely obviated 10y en-
powering the president to fix upon a
place. That official promptly decided TO
hold the next meeting at the Edwards
Seminary"
The announcement that John Carey
will deliver Grattan's, alias Stoker's,
piece will have the effect of drawing a
large number from this locality to hear
both the celebrated orators "speak their
pieces"
MIR. G. F. Whelan will give spelling
school and literary entertainment on Sat
urday evening next. If spelling schools
aid us to master the intricacies of English
photography they should be of much
more frequent occurrence than they are.
We believe that the students of years ago
were far better spoilers than those of to.
DAY because this important subject is be.
ing somewhat neglected in our schools.
Rules of spelling seem to usurp the place
of the spelling book and the consequent
ces are evident. Rules of spelling are in
our estimation as big nuisance as auto
graph albums.
There is considerable sickness around
here now. Many of our old residents are
confined to their beds by bodily ailments
and many others seriously complain OF
| more lingering but less violent diseases.
Miss Maggie Cody was because of i'll.
ness, obliged to resign her position in q
school situated we believe, in the western
part of Cato.
What's becoming of the literary editor
OF The Pilot? Time was when the mere
mention of womens' rights was so intoler-
able to him that it almost set his whole
frame III state of uncomfortable agita-
ton. Now he quietly inserts a whole
column of matter purporting to be argu-
ment in favor of abused woman without
commenting on it or even Diminishing II
with ''psbaw." 1t would appear from
the article in question that there has been
some remarkable women. They evident
ly did not advocate woman rights or the
writer of the article referred to would
not have forgotten to remark upon such
An important particular.
The mail arrangement for this ''beat'
might be greatly improved. Heretofore
the sending out OF the mai! was delayed
until the mail came from the south. 70
suit somebody's convenience, however,
this practice has been discontinued, and
the result is, that weekly papers that
came formerly On Fridays now turn up
on Mondays and people living at some
distance from the post-office feel dispos-
ed to let them stay there until the mex
Sunday when they have some time to gel
| them and read them. Newspspermer
anxious to retain their Meme subscribers
had better see Tim 0. Howe about the
matter and set things right. We sup
| pose the person who has the contract tc
carry the mail over this route means vel
and probably obeys instructions but any
how the present mode of doing the bust
ness is not what the people desire, neith-
er is it what it might be.
We have just received intelligence O.
| the death of Mrs. ID. Shallue of Meme
which occurred last night. Ever since
| January 1st she suffered as few suffer
from the combined effects of typhoid anc
| brain fever and it was not until last mig b
she succumbed to their united efforts
The deceased was comparatively young
woman, in the prime of life and leaves 8
family of three children and a bereavet
husband to bewail her premature death
Happily it is seldom death occurs il
our community that is to be 80 deeply
lamented or that will be 30 keenly felt
That her immortal part may meet hap
py reception in that undiscovered coun-
try from whose bourn no traveller re-
I tW b tia wish of al whu knew her,
