Two Persons Perish in the Piamss-A Third
Seriously II not Fatally Injured.
We are indebted to Mr.. w. C. Wood
cock. Of Monroe precinct, for the following
very sad piece of news: The accident hap
pened at David Inman's saw mill, situated
about ten miles west ef Monroe, on . branch
of the Alssa. Our informant writes that
at the mill was building used for the mill
hands to sleep Id; and about eleven o'clock
last Saturday night the building caught fire
while four men were sleeping in it. One OF
the occupants, Mr.. Holgats, was awakened
and as soon as he could take his trunk out
of the burning building, he rushed back and
found one of the other men, Mr.. Shepard,
standing at the foot of his bed and Mr..
Holgate helped him out of the building.
The other two men were in other and diff
erent rooms from where Mr.. Holgate and
and Shepard had been sleeping. By this
time Mr.. Inman and several other persons
arrived, but the building was so far envel-
oped in flames that they could not get into
the building and the two remaining men
were burned to death. The names of the
two that perished were Blake and Frank
Leonard. Mr.. Shepard at one time, it is
said, worked for Mr.. e. B. Smith and it is
thought doubtful whether he will recover
from the injuries received.

Mr.. Frederick L. Draper, of Monroe, in
forrnes us that T. D. Hinton Sen. is now
very low with erysipelas rendering the pros.
poets of his recovery very doubtful. In re-
gard to the burning of the building at In

another column. He states that Frank
Leonard, one of the men who was burned to
death last Saturday came to Monroe on last
Saturday snd procured gallon of whiskey
and returned to the mill with it in the eve
ming before the fire occurred. Other reports
states that the parties in the burned build
ing were gloriously drunk having been on d
Christmas spree until late hour; except
Mr.. Holgate who was sober and who
wss first wakened by the fire. Our inform

Of Right Method.
Mr. Joseph Bryan introduced methods
OF teaching fractions" He favored the au.
disnce with many inter esting points con.
csrning various fractions.
E. A. Miner: How would you teach
compound fractions to beginnersl- Say re.
duce one.third of one-fourth of one half.
Mr.. Bryan explained by blackboard
exercise.
J. B. Homer: I would divide an apple
into two equal parts. The student sees each
part il half. Then subdivids that hall
into four equal parts-hs sees that each
part is fourth of that half; but to enable
him to understand the relation that exists
between the ens.fourth of the half of the
apple, I subdivids the other hall. when the
apple is divided into eight equal parts and
the pupil secs that each part ID ons-eighth.
Then by blackboard exercise perform the
work. 30 on with one-third of each OF
these parts. Result one-twentY-fourth.
Methods of teaching Grammar, by A. F.
Hershner. There is not one in five hundred
who make no mistakes in speaking-not
one in thousand who uses no slang pHras-
es. Need less technical grammar, but more
practical grammar. Oral lessons should
precede the text book. Hurried pupils
become bewildered. Pupils should be re-
quired to make sentences of their own. By
care the current Of good grammar would
in few years sweep away error. Students
in third and fourth readers should reeite
oral lessons during the year preceding
study the text book. His fund of iuforma
tion will enable him to comprehend The
subject. Most pupils should study English
grammar three or four years.

cember corn returns of the Department
of Agriculture make a direct comparison
with tho product of last year. In No
vernber the yield per acre was reported
and in October last the condition OF the
growing crop. The range of variation
in the results of these three separate

difference tho tendency of more accurate

the present estimate, and the final returns
will aggregate in round numbers ,625,-

there appears Il reduction OF about two

hundred and forty million bushels In
Michigan, Wisconsin and Minnesota, on
tho Lake belt, the product is eighty mil
lion bushels, nearly the same as i'll 1879,
and nj increase of nine millions over last

An Architectural Paradox,

Wood joists are being used in the
construction of large building on Wal
nut street, Philadelphia, in preference
to iron, to guard against danger in case
of fire. Strange as such a statement
may appear, says the Record, it is a
matter of fact that many New England
builders contend that the wood-joists,
cncased in plaster, are proof against
any ordinary fire, and for many reasons
are much preferred by them to the or
binary regulation lire-proof iron joists.
The joists are stripped on the outside,
and over these strips irons are run, and
on these the plaster is spread. The
theory is, that in an ordinary fire, josts
thus treated will be iire-proof, and only
when the fire has reached such fury
that the building must 20 anyway viii
they be affected, Here comes in one OF
the advantages claimed forthcm. When
q building is being burned by a furious
fire, the iron joists expand and crush
out the walls and do other damage.
The wood joists would simply be burned
up without injuring the walls Ut all
