best time was 2.20. The gamblers and sports
bet on Maxey Cobb to their sorrow as Geo.
'. won at q lively clip on the home stretch.
The past week seems to have been an un-
usual one for runaways. The last account is
from Gliddenburg where Geo. Prater was
thrown from load Of straw on his way
from the field, one wheel passing over his
head, the other over his side. The next day
Geo. bore quite resemblance TO a prize
fighter, but was soon able to resume his
I labors.
We were glad 10 meet our old friend, An
son Goss, one of Bangor's substantial men,
the other day. and found him looking none
the worse for his trip to Dakota. Mr.. Goss
made very thorough survey of the Terri
| tory, but does not enthuse at all as a result
of his observations. He thinks two wears
from now will see refux Of the wave of
emigration in that direction. h.
We would again call the attention OF all
teachers requiring q 81 grade certificate TO
the fact that such an examination will be
held at Lawrence on Friday, Aug. 31st.
Knowing that many would attend the Insti-
tute, and being desirous of consulting their
convenience, the Examiners decided that
this date would accommodate a greater num-
Der than any other.
1t seems to be generally understood that
one house will no longer accommodate Mr..
and Mrs e. g.. Hudson. as she has decided
to give her ambition fuller scope in the
Three Rivers Seminary, while he will re-
main in Paw Paw with his little daughter.
1t is extremely unfortunate that so many
y-or livip 60,
years, find that they are entirely uncongenial.

In addition to the above, Mr. Boyce informs
Us that he has orders for six more at similar
prices.
We would call special attention to the ad-
vertisement of our Union school appearing
elsewhere in our columns. We are glad to
see our Board of Education taking steps to
place our public school in its proper position
before the people. AS there Is nothing that
adds more to the prosperity of any place
than well conducted public school, We hope
to see our citizens manifesting some of their
old time interest in this matter during the
coming year.
Mrs. Jennie Buskirk closed her very sue
cessful laSors in the Gliddenburg school
with an unusually pleasant picnic, which oc-
Cured last Saturday i'll the beautiful grove
surrounding her residence. A tempting az
ray of yiands was spread beneath the trees
at which l43 persons refreshed the inner
man, afterward adjourning to the arena in
front of temporary platform which had
been erected on the west side of the house,
and there listened to an interesting literary
program
4 private letter, written TO one of our citi-
zens by NIr. J. p. Coonley, who has in charge

Philadelphians. and a few days after their
arrival, Underwood performed his feat while
in the water during the bathing hours, and
II the presence OF hundreds of bathers and
spectators. Mr.. Coonley says Underwood is
making lots of friends, and this has been a
day be will never forget
Mrs. VIII. Stanton of Antwerp, met with
serious accident last week. while out riding
with her two little girls. The horse became
frightened at burnt stump, jumped side
ways. and Mrs. Stanton was thrown from
the carriage striking on her head She was
at first thought to be very seriously injured,
but was better at last accounts. The little
girls remained in the carriage, and the elder
displayed considerable bravery for miss of
thirteen years, succeeding not only in quiet
ing her sister, but also in stopping the horse
without any damage being sustained.
The following is a ce,5otinl copy of a very

The Dgiiy Republican, of BIerider, Conn,
contains quite an extended account of the
rescue OF yachting party of five ladies and
two gentlemen from watery grave, by our
former townsman, c. A. Harrison, assisted
| by one other gentleman. 1t seems that, as
the party were on their way to Stony Greek,
flaw struck the boat and, before the ropes
could be cut, it capsized, and the entire party
found themselves struggling in the water.
Fortunately they all retained sufficient pres
enee of mind to cling to the sides of the
boat, and still more fortunately Messrs. Har-
rison and Bartholomew, who were out fish
/ ing were able to reach them before it was
too late, although the ladies were so ex-
hausted that one Of them tainted while being
pulled into the boat As no other boat was
in sight of the yacht at the time, they doubt
less feel extremely grateful to G. A. and his
friend.
