OUTCOMEOFA SPELLING SCHOOL

OUTCOME A SPELLING SCHOOL
A graduate from the High School in
Detroit had call from country school
about 200 miles north of Detroit, and he
went his way provided with several
written recommends and whole cart
load of enthusiasm. He found the school
house to be q one-story affair made of
logs large enough to hold thirty schol-
ars in case the teacher stood in the door.
When school commenced the score of
scholars could only master a geography
printed in 184S, an arithmetic a few
days younger, a dozen leaves of a speller
and the half of a broken slate.
The teacher, however, went to work to
hammer knowledge into their craniums,
and he had convinced most of them
that the world was round, and that the
sun neither rose nor set in that county,
when it came time to have a spelling
school. For convenience sake it was
held in big barn, and the turnout in
cluded everybody from the boy who
spelled" corn" the same as "horse," for
convenience sake, to the old man who
always put in haist" on his letters to
his brother in Vermont
It wasn't much Of q contest until the
last half-dozen lowered aloft. "Catarrh"
and photograph" laid 'em out by the
dozens, and when only the champions
were left " Constantinople" flooded all
but two Ike belt of lightning. Then
came the word "parasite. One rem
dered it "parysight," and when the
teacher shook his head one cried out:
give writ that word over hundred
times, and guess know!" ~
"And I've seen 'em every day of my
life for forty years, and / don't sit down
for anybody Padded the other.
ut is parasite" replied the teacher.
~ dispute it!'
$50 do /" -.
"That's the way Webster gives it,
Who's Webster?"
Yes, trot him out"
Then the friends of either rose up. In
the shindy the teacher came in fer two
black eyes, a cracked rib, kicks in the
shin and bites on the ears, and the min
ute he could get clear and over the
fence he headed for Detroit and reached
home In want of SO many repairs that
it took two months to make him presnt
able He had few dollars due him, and
left change of clothes up there, but he
doesn't want to hear from the directors
They may consider that he has resigned
and any parasite desiring the situation
can have the vacancy without paying
bonus.

and FIX its character. Washing butter while
in the granular state does not create flavor,
but il eifectuslly removes matter that would
destroy flavor. The COW, in her earlier
milkings, is the great source a0d creator Of
flavor, and the highest skill in butter making
is to preserve, not destroy, flavor It can
be learned in week. II may not be learned
in life time. One fact butter.makers
should keep well in mind. that sweet, de-
licious flavor is what buyers are willing to
pay for. Flavor in butter, like favor in
maple syrup. determines its character and

The Damage by Frost.

The frosts of Sunday and Monday
nights were pretty general throughout
the country, and did a vast amount OF
damage. The corn crop in Holmes,
Crawford, Richland and Hancock
counties is reported as seriously dam
aged, and in some localities totally ru-
ined.
A Cincincinnati dispatch of the 10th
says; Frost is reported very generally
throughout Ohio, Indiana and Ken
lucky the past two mornings. Opin-
ion varies as to its effect on corn. The
reports from Kentucky say all the to-
bacco on the low ground and creek
bottoms is ruined. Vegetables every
where are injured.
A Dubuque, Iowa, dispatch of the
10th says: 1.-THE frost on Saturday
night nipped the vines in this vicinity,
but so far as learned it has not serious
Iy injured the fruit. Corn is not in
tjured unless it is little in the valley,
and that not to any extent. The av-
erage, it is believed, is by no means as
serious as was expected, and crops, as
a whole, havo received little damage"
A Detroit telegram of the 10th inst.
says: THE frost was quite general
throughout Michigan last night. Re-
ports do not indicate heavy character,
but sufficient to cut down partly grown
vegetables. 1t injured corn somewhat ;
the latter it is thought is not seriously
injured.n

A Marrow Escape.

From the Meadville Morning News. Sept.s.
Last evening train from the west,
which was about an hour late, and
train 8, also behind little, came into
the Meadvillo depot together, 8 thun-
dering up on the track on the east side
of the depot just as passengers were
alighting from the train from the west.
Col. p. B. Carpenter came in from the
west and getting Off the car stepped
right in front of train 8 as it came up.
The " cow-catcher" struck him and
knocked his feet from under him. He
fell heavily upon it and was carried
about thirty feet in that perilous posi-
ton before the engine stopped. For
tunately for Mr.. Carpenter when he
fell he threw his hand out 20 save him
self and caught good hold on one Of
the bars of the cow-catcher, and was
able to hold himself clear with that
hand, while with the other, in true
American style, he clung to his grip
sack" When the train stopped the
Colonel got dowH, examined the engine
and himself. and found the worst dam
age was a severe shaking up, but ev-
erything considered the escape from q
serious and possibly fatal accident was
too narrow for comfort.

Last Saturday afternoon as Mr.. Ash.

town, aged about 72 years, and Mr..
Orlando Hart, an employein Beckley's
Stove and Tin Works, were engaged
in taking parlor stove from wagon
standing in front of Phenix Block the
horse started, pitching both men out
head foremost to the ground. The
stove falling upon Mr.. Seymour, he
was fearfully cut about the head and
otherwise badly bruised. He was
picked up insensible and taken into
Fairchild's furniture store, where q
physician was called, who dressed his
wounds, and in about half an hour he
had so far recovered as to be able to be
removed to the residence of his son.
Albert Seymour, on Elm street
His injuries, fortunately, are not of q
serious nature. Mr.. Hart's injuries
were slight.
