Cleveland and Hendricks.

The Democratic convention held
last week at Chicago ended its labors
on Friday, having nominated Grover
Cleveland, of New York, for presi-
dent and Thomas A. Hendricks, of In
diana, for vice-president. Mr.. Cleve-
land has had few offices of public
trust, having attained what practical
reputation he possesses as sheriff of
Erie county and governor of New
York. No fault can be found we
think with his private character or
political record generally. Nothing
has arisen during his public service
recurring bold or untried experiments.
and being a man of naturally good in
stincts his acts while governor have
generally been admitted to be correct.
Mr.. Hendricks will be remembered as
the gentleman whose name was coupl-
ed with that of Tilden in 1876 in the
then pending presidential contest.
Ills record like that OF Cleveland is
more negative than positive. though
his public life has been more promi-
nent,

Obituary.

Carrie Hale Burr, daughter of S. II.
and L. E. Burr, died on the 18th inst.
at the home in which she was born on
the 2lst of December, 1854. Hardly
twenty years old, she had reached
a maturity of character and beauti-
full young womanhood, seldom wit
messed. Naturally conscientious, and
of a religious turn of mind, she added
te her birthright hopeful and happy
experience in the Gospel of Christ,
and lived in her home and among her
friends as Gods child. Always hav-
ing loved the right; and as soon as
knowing her Savior receiving Him.;
she has from child, lived in the sun
light of His presence, and reflected
the glory of His heaven in every path
in which she walked. Thoughtful and
earnest, she was yet joyful and play
full, bringing brightest thoughts to
chase away darkest clouds and dullest
cares. Those who know her best low
ed her most, and miss her most. Am
bilious to make the most of life for
Iife's sake, she was willing to sacri-
fee anything but right and duty for
the accomplishment of her hopes; and
worked hard in the achievement of her
high-born plans. At school or at col
lege she wrought earnestly and gave
promise in these early years of a
bright future and useful life. While
at Carlton College, which she attend
ed for two years, she was taken sick,
from which she never fully recovered;
and after year and half of suffer
ing she has passed from earth's affiic-
tions, to the consolation of the re-
deemed. During all these long days,
when hope was turning back to rest
she had sent it; when the bright Wis.,
ions which once beckoned her on were
| losing themselves in the distance;
| when the tide of life which once rode
full and high, receding and leaving
the wrecks of other days in plainest
view; during all of this time, in pa.
thence she possessed her soul, and was
never heard to make single word of
complaint, or murmur at the hardness
of her lot. She was at peace with her
| God, as well as with the world; and
believed in His proyidences, and the
wisdom which planned them. Hope
full, cheerful, happy; patient, loving
and true, she died as size had lived.
A child of the church. as well as of
| the home, she is mourned by the com.
munity, while the sorrow which is in
all of our hearts. differs only in degree
| but not in kind from that which is felt
| by those of her own home. The sea-
son of her birth was prophetic of he
Iife-pure as the SHOWS of winter.
The season of her death is prophetic
of her eternal life-summer, sunshine,
and song; bursting buds and blossom
ing flowers; waving trees and ripening
grain. With sad. but hopeful hearts
we say. remembering her who has
gone from US: .1Let me die the death
of the righteous and let my last end
lbe like this r.

AN observant newspaper says that
notwithstanding railroad stocks have
lost third of their entire speculative
value, the railroads are still where
they were, are in successful operation,
and many of them are more valuable
property than ever before. A very
large amount of money has simply
passed from the hands of one gang OF
operators to the hands of the other
gang. There has been no actual loss
or destruction of property as if large
sections of track had been swept away
or stations and cars consumed by fire,

Term Reports for summer schools
recently closed were received during
thu last week as follows:
Report Of Teachers Association.

Held at Spring Valley June %, 1884.
Called to order at 1890 a. m. by the
President. j. A. Martin was elected
Sec., and G. L. Bowman was appoint
ed critic.
Statement of scientific facts created
quite discussion.
Mrs. G.. L. Bowman read an essay
on the subject of Rewards and Punish
ments. The essayist did not believe
in offering prizes unless it be for 9
stated amount of work perfor med and
might therefore be within the reach
of all. Thought friendly spirit OF
emulation was superior to any system
of prize offering. Would not punish
ish till after mature aeliberation.
Punishment for any other purpose
than the good of the pupil is not pun
ishment but cruelty. After the read.
ing of the essay the association al
journed for dinner.
Called to order at 80 p. m.
About half an hour was spent in dis
cussing the subject presented in the
essay.
j. A. Martin presented the topic of
teaching Primaries. Preferred the
Word Method, but would not sacrifice
interest for any particular method.
S. Brown presented History in the
Middle Form. Would tell the pupils
the history of the school district by
topic as Settlement, Organization. OFF,
GERS, School-houses, Teachers, Taxes,
etc. Pupils write the following day
what had been told to them the previ-
GUS day. 1t was suggested that the
history commence with the school
house.
G. L. Bowman next presented the
subject Oral Language. Would COM
mence by having the pupil name fa-
miliar objects, prefixing the articles a
or an. Then have him name the OBJ
ject making complete statement.
Then commence the statement with
the expletive ''there.'' Two objects
OF the same kind noting the change of
is to are objects OF various kinds de-
scribed first, separately, then combin-
ed in one statement teach the proper
use of the adjectives these and those,
not use "don't" where edo not"
could be substituted. The aim being
to secure a correct habit of speaking.
At the request of some present Mr..
Bowman then spent a few moments
in telling what use to make of the &C.
illogical Reports after which the asso-
citation adjourned. S. Brown,
j. A. MARTIN, Pres.
Sec'y.

(ooNCLUDED.)
She went to the nearest doctors Of
fee, and asked the doctor if he would
please come and see her little sister
for she was very sick.
She told him she hadn't any money,
but if he would come any way. she
would surely try to pay him sometime.
The doctor was very kind gentle
man, and was very willing to go and
see her, so he promised to be there in
half an hour.
Lulu then went back home.
May had fallen into a deep slumber.
When the doctor came he could see
at once that little May would not live
long, but he gave her some medicine
to soothe her.
AS he could not stay he would go
and tell Mrs. Spencer, his wife, to
come and stay the rest of the day.
When Mrs. Spencer came she
brought them some oranges.
Little May thought them very nice,
although she was able to eat but very
little of one.
Lulu was very anxious to know if
she would be better by morning, so
Mrs. Spencer thought it best to tell
her that dear little May could not get
well, but would go to far more beauti-
full home than this, where she would
always be well and happy.
The doctor came again towards ev-
ening.
Mrs. Spencer and Lulu sat by her
side, and Lulu was holding Mays lit
tie hand in hers.
In few moments she looked up at
Lulu with bright smile and was gone.
Lulu cried very bitterly, and said
she would sit by her sister all night,
but at last Mrs. Spencer persuaded her
to go with them home.
As Lulu was very anxious to have
May dressed nicely, Mrs. Spencer got
her a nice shroud, and the doctor got
| her coffin.
She was very pretty corpse; she
was buried at two o'clock in the after
noon.
Mrs. Spencer took Lulu home with
her, and after sine had been there
some over week they liked her so
| much that they wanted to adopt her
as their own child.
Lulu was very much delighted at
the thought of being their adopted
daughter.
She was now called Lulu Spencer.
She was sent to school and learned
/ very fast; she also had a very sweet
voice and they had her take music
| lessons. She went to school seven
years, then went away to finish her
course in music, At the age OF %
she came home. She was a very ami
able, affectionate young lady, and
soon had large music class. One at.
ternoon while alone. she thought how
kind doctor and Mrs. Spencer had
been to her and little May.
She thought how much good she
could do for the poor and sick by us
ing great deal of her money in help
ing and teaching them.
