count of an accident at Fisher&Gate' S

the misfortune to lose the third and
fourth fingers of his right hand The
second finger also was mangled con-
siderably but will probably get well all

yer in Fisher and Gates sawmill about
three miles north of Fennimore, and

ulation of sawdust from about the saw
with a stick, was working by the side

feet from the saw. The injured man

DR.. Picards office in Feunimore and the
wound dressed At last account he
was doing as well as possible, and al
though the hand will be dstigured it
will still be rs good for most purposes
as If it was perfect. Mr.. Franklin says
that he can feel cut that is upon the
ball of the little finger as distinctly as
if t was in its place upon his hand, and
can feel the shape the fingers are in
The severed fingers got cold ut first and
afterwards were warmed again. He
said he could feel the cold and COM

weather began to change on Sunday,
the mercury falling rapidly, and wind
strong from the northeast. Snow be-
gan to fall rapidly about four O'Clock
Monday morning. and up to eight
O'Clock about five inches had fall

badly drifting the snow, which re-
ceived additions from time to time dur

began to shift to the northwest and the
mercury reached 24o below during the
night. Tuesday morning at eight
o'clock it was still colder, the ther-

MISUNDERSTANDING evidences
of improvement in our High School are
seen in the examinations. Not only is
the average of percentages higher, but
the manner of doing the work is notice
| ably better than it was. Two years
ago examination day was an extremely
| hard day for the teacher because of the
frequent hardness and absence on that
day; the unwillingness to write and
various devices to avoid it; forgetful.
ness and carelcssness of the students.
the multitude of their questions,
their illegible writing, their indifference
to high standing, and some concern as
to the fairness of their work. Now,
every student seems to make special
| effort to be present that day and but
| few extra examinations are necessary:
each student knows what is expected of
him, and is prepared with paper, ink,
| ETC.; the improved grading renders it
much easier to arrange a programme
for examinations; the work is COM
menced with cheerful, earnest spirit
that is refreshing to observe; the pupils
work more steadily and quietly, and
there are but very few blanks among
the answers; the arrangement of the
answers is much more systematic, the
penmanship averages better. and the
language is much more correct and
exact; consequently, the papers can be
marked more accurately, more easily.
and more rapidly than then.
EDUCATION FOR FARMERS. 1t is too
common mistake that general in
formation and mental training are not
needed in agriculture Il is true that a
man may be able to pillow, chop wood,
and feed stock without knowing how to
read or write; but to be successful
farmer not only q common-school train
ing. but even n higher education, is both
desirable and almost necessary. Ma
chimes are rapidly taking the place of
human muscle; intelligent planning,
reasoning, and investigation are sup
planting automatic and unreasoning
instinct The successful farmer of the
near future will be diligent reader of
farm journals. market reports, and
commercial indications; he will be a
practical student of mechanics, in
order to adopt the most economical
machines and devices on his farm: he
will know much Of botany, the various
kinds of grains. vegetables. trees and
weeds, and their nature, needs, or RENE
dies; be will understand microscopy
far enough to study the destructive in
sects that so greatly iniure his crops;
he will be interested ia agricultural
chemistry, the kinds of soil and fertili-
zers, and for what each is best adapted;
he will not .'plant in the MOON but ac-
cording to meteorological indications;he
will be familiar with the principles of
political economy and politics, 50 as to
protect himself at the polls, aud secure
respect and justice from legislators and

from temporary canvass enclosure at

magical rattle and clank of heavy

suddenly the canvass parted and an

The Dude was very well trained and
did some very graceful skating, the
