Oh Monday, shortly after dinner, A
fatal accident occurred in Fred. Muhle-
mans Touring mills at Bellaire. George
Anschutz, brother-iu-law of the pro
prietur, and who is young man of %
years of age, was alone in the mill at
the time. They had some corn to shell.
in which occupation he was engaged. 1t
is supposed he attempted to put a belt
on the shelter while all the machinery
was in motion, and in 80 doing he was
thrown against d shaft and wound
around it in such a way that his head was
wrapped up close to the shaft, while his
legs beat through d window in the side
of the mill, and were crushed into a
shapeless mass of flesh and blood and
broken bones. His jaws were broken
and his skull crushed, while his clothes
were literally torn TO ShredS. The engine
of the mill was stopped by V. G. Morgan,
and the mangled remains were collected
together. it was sickening sight, and
probably no one knows just how it did
happen.

A paper, on High Education in our
Public Schools, by John c. Shea, of West
| Wheeling, was next in order, but Mr.
Shea being absent, paper was read by
Miss Mary c. Bundv, on american Au-
| thors and their Productions" taking for
her subject, Holland. The paper show
ed that Miss Bundy is evidently an ar
dent admirer of DR.. Hollands works,
and gave her subject considerable study.
She drew beautiful picture of kathri-
Ma, and introduced us to The Mistress of
the MaAse, but did not let the young
men off without advising them to read
Titcomb's Letters. The paper was then
discussed by the Association.
| Mr.. r. G. Clark spoke highly in favor
of the paper, but was followed by Prof
T. E. Orr, who assailej Mr.. Holland as
being himself the hero of Kathrina, and
was thus guilty of egotism.
Prof. Peck then came to the rescue
of DR.. Holland, and with his usual wit
and winning ways, showed to the Asso-
citation that egotism was no: such bad
thing after all.
The professional course of reading,
as submitted by the committee at st.
Clairsville, was then discussed.
Prof. Peck stated, thai, as he was u
member of the committee, the Associa
ton need not wait on him for remarks
on the subject. He was followed by
Prof. Hitchcock, who held up before the
teachers of Belmont county the great
need of such a course, and the benefit of
following such course. The subject
was further discussed by J. W. Fowler
and others. Mr.. Fowler Thought the
course too long, and suggested the pro.
priety of striking out some of the wsrks,
