hearty God speed.

A fortunate termination of runaway
was that occasioued to Mrs. Lyman Chur-
chill early last week Being deft at driv
ing, she had harnessed her horse, a some
what spirited animal, and was turning
from the yard towards the Lower Viii
lage, when crossing plank laying in the
road, one of the cushions of the buck
board slipped from the seaC. She alight-
ed to replace it. and while standing be-
tween the wheels attempting to get in,
the horse suddenly started, throwing her,
some how, between the dasher and the
wheel, so that her head rested OH the
cross-bar, with the whip. which had been
broken by the fall, in such position as
to continually strike the horse and urge
him forward at a rapid rate. After Il
drive of quarter of mile in this con-
dition she recovered presence of mind
sufficient to rein the horse into the yaId
of \. j. Robinson, who happened to be
present and seized it by the bit. But
few injuries resulted and Mrs. Churchill
still holds the ribbons"
The county educational examining
board held their session here according
to notice. on the 25th and 26th ults. The
board consists of Profs. Wilson. of Nor
risville, and Hulburd, of Hyde Park.
Mrs. George Tillotsou, of Wolcott. Miss
Augusta Boomhower, teacher of the Sc
lect school at the Center Village, was
quite active in her eXertions to secure the
session in this town. Eleven young la
dies. all residents of this town, and pupils
of Miss Boomhower's school. made appli-
cation and submitted to the two days eX-
animation. The list of written questions
is said to have been unusually long, and
so varied and framed as to test in the
most thorough manner the scholarly at
tainments and good sense of the appli-
cants. 1t should be n matter of the high
est pride and qualification to the people
of our whole town that every one of
these young ladies came out of this try
ing ordeal with such triumphant success
as to obtain the approval and certificates
of the board, and win from its members
repeated expressions of commentator
and admiration. The pupils of Miss
| Boardman's select school, assisted by
friends. desiring to give her some suita-
BILE expression of their appreciation of
her services as their teacher, and their
affectionate regard for herself, had pro-
vided beautiful copy of Webster's I'm
abridged Dictionary, with all the latest
| improvements of patent index, etc., and
| at the close of the examination. at their
request and in their behalf, Prof. Wilson,
| in a very we'll worded and appropriate
speech, presented the dictionary to Miss
| Boomhower, to which she feelingly and
befittingly replied. Then there arose a
struggle among the pupils, who We'd with
each other to be first to greet their teach
err with congratulation. This was GER
tainlv proud day for Miss Boomhower,
as well rs her pupils. She had not only
been the teacher of these successful
young ladies and given her best efforts
to enable them to secure the highest pro-
ficiency in their studies, but she had also
kindly exerted herself to give them an
opportunity, with firmness and assur-
ance, to come before the public and OBJ
tain the adornment of such honOrs as
their character and attainments justly
entitled them to receive. Several adj
| yantages, besides those which are Incl
dental, will be secured by these county
certificates. and among them will be the
relief from the annual annoyance OF
town examinations.
The names of the young ladies who OBJ
tanned county certificates are as follows
Misses Lillian A. Barrows. Maggie A
Mcmahon, Elsie Adams, Gertie Gale,
Thanie Sallies. Jessie f. Sallies. Velmer
