RUNAwAY.-Last Saturday morn
ing, as the Potosi stage was opposite the
Poor Farm, the kibgbolt of the vehicle
broke and the forward part of the wag-
on separated from the after part. The
horses started on a run, drawing the
lines from the hands of the driver,
and dashed off with the running gear
to which they were attached. Two
young ladies from Potosi. who
were in the stage, received slight inju-
ries. The horses demolished what of
the stage they had with them.

The Lancaster School Board would
be glad to admit free of tuition such
nonresident students as are faithful
workers and in Strengthened circum-
stances, if they could do so consistently.
Such students are help to a school,
and decrease rather than increase the
labor of teachers. But, if one is adj
mitted free, the precedent is established,
and endless trouble results. Moreover,
they feel themselves restricted by a for
NAL vote of school meeting q few
years ago, which resolved that no pupils
should be admitted without tuition, ex-
cept those whose parents or bona tide
guardians reside in the district.
EXAMINATION ECHoEs-In the Com
position class, falsehood and hyperbole
were distinguished as follows: Hyper
bole is an eXaggeration of the truth.
Falsehood is a regular lie with no facts
to start upon. "

Dor that you have spent on Cesar?

answered:

other said:

have spent" Another answered.
II feel fully repaid for the time spent
in studying Caesar. 1t has been pleas
ure more than labor. >"
The last reply was:
Il feel well repaid for the work have
spent upon Caesar, and should much like
to continue the study. [ hope that by
the study of Caesar | have cultivated
and extended my knowledge of the Eng
lish language, and have learned some of
the actions Of the greatest man Of an
