Many parts of the country are visited by
class of men who paint roofs of barns, corn
cribs, grain elevators, and various kinds of
metal roofs, at q charge ranging from 30 cents
to 81 per square of 10 by 10 feet. An Illinois
correspondent of The Iowa Homstead says he
knows from observation that the paint gives
satisfaction and he communicates the formul9
of fv;A
as follows:-"Take kerosene barrel to the
gas house and fill with gas tar to two gallons
out, then go to the drug store and put in two
gallons gasoline. bung the barrel tight. The
hauling home will thoroughly mix it, and
when ready to use, run into bucket and add
two double -handsful of cement; stir this to-
gether and apply with whitewash brush
with a.long handle. While working on roofs
always wear rubber boots or shoes, these will
take better grip on shingles or boards than
stockings. Apply during the dry time in
summer, one or two coats. Many men have
failed to find benefit from using coal tar
alone, because it has gummy nature and
does not penetrate the wood, but with the;
above mixture the trouble Of scaling off will
be done away with, and good slate like coat
will be left that will shed the water rapidly.
Use linseed oil to clean your hands, this is
best, although any grease will do. Don't put
this on house roofs where the rain water is TO
be used for cooking purposes, as it leaves
disagreeable taste for year or more. If the
root is old and leaky, have some old oyster
cans, or any old tins, and make tin shingles
and slip them in the bad Places"
Monday afternoon, about two O'Clock, Mr..
Buford Chinn's mare, hitched to his buggy,
was standing in the alley east Of his resi-
dence, when Mr.. Thompson, the driver Of
Mr.. Kerdolf's delivery wagon, in passing
locked one of his wagon wheels into the
buggy wheel. He backed up two or three
times before he got loose, and then he passed
on. Some children saw that Mr.. Chinn's
mare was loose, and was following the wagon
and they ran to Mr.. Chinn and SO told him.
He ran out at the front gate, thinking he
would head off the animal in the alley south
of Mr.. John Taubman's. When he reached
the alley he saw the mare about fifty yards
from him, standing still, with her head to the
east, and the buggy just ready to turn over,
two wheels being on high bank. He spoke
to the mare, and she moved slightly, when
| the buggy turned over and the mare fell. In
/ struggling to get up one shaft ran into the
| mares neck about nine inches. Mr.. Chinn
| pulled at the shalt, and got it nearly out,
| when the mare again forced it into the flesh,
| in different direction. A saw was procured,
the shaft cut of, the harness loosened and the
mare got up. DR.. Owen has her under his
| care, and thinks she will get well. Mr.. Chinn
thinks the lines must have caught into the
wheel, and pulled her head around to
| the east, and thus caused the accident, as the
animal was perfectly gentle ,and was probably
following the wagon. The strangest thing
| about the matter is that Mr.. Thompson did
not see that his wheel had made the mare
break her hitch rein, and did not see that she
was following him, especially as he stopped
but few yards from the spot, and put off 8
sack Of flour. The buggy was unhurt, eX.
cept the shaft which was cut. The mare is 8
pet animal, and was valued at $500.
"One who enjoyed the day" writes as fol.
lows OF an educational entertainment at AL
ma:-"On Friday, June 90, we were nicely
entertained by the students OF our school con
Quoted by Miss Cassie Bascom, formerly o.
this place, but now of Odessa. Among thu
many interesting events that took place We
will attempt to mention few. Your inform.
ant was not present during the opening exer
cises, but by kindness of others gained par
tial programme OF the morning exercises
the most important of which was the exam
ination in the science Of algebra. After thor
ouyh examination of this science clos.
contest of the young ladies', four in number
rendered it rather complicated case to de.
eide, although we would comm end each ON
Of them. Noon having arri, ed we were ex
cused In order 10 allow the ladies time an,
J place to prepare the usual feast. After
} lapse Of twenty or thirty minutes, two i'm
) mense tables each extending across the room
were wrlthing and groaning under thei
weight prepared by the hospitable ladies O
this vicinity. Soon after we began de. ourin,
the necessary articles which nature and th
ladies had provided for the support of th
) vital machinery of man. Although your in
} formant was little late Through the kindnes
: Of two Of the ladies he was enabled to enjo,
some Of the many luxuries that adorned tn
table. All being satisfied, and the tables re
moved, we were called to order. The after
noon exercises were opened with declama
J tion by master Jimmie Goodwin, which W
l considered very good. The exercises con
r tanned dialogues, essays, singing and decla
E nations, which for want of space, we canno
enumerate. We will mention those whie
