 A D. Charter had narrow escape from death last Wednesday. He had talk en a young bull from it's stall to make re- pairs therein, having him tied by long rope that permitted driving him out and in. The repairs complete, he attempted to drive him back, when the animal sud denly attacked him, tossing him repeated iy, fortunately keeping him in the air, until final throw landed him on the floor behind the brute, and against door
  sensible outside, the length of rope pre- vented the bull from following. MT. Charter was for several days confined to the house. No bones were broken, but he WAS nearly mass of bruises, and owes his life to the impetuosity of the attack, by means of which he was kept from fall ing in front of the animal. The bnll hus since been killed.

 The continuance of the strike of the Warren Woolen Co.'S. weavers is getting to be a serious matter, throwing many out of employment in other departments of the mill. As neither side seems to think itself warranted in yielding it is suggested that well selected, fairly disposed and dis interested arbitrars would be better able to judge of the merits of the case than the two interested parties. Either could yield points with better grace to falrly disposed axbitrars than to each other. Many fami- IICS VIII SullcI II LIlo GllluS SOcS Ou.

There were several others whose attendance lacked but by one tardy mark or a single case of absence; and two or three who were perfectly regular after they commenced deluded themselves in supposing the first day or two of no &C., count. This evil, however, grows less each term, and it is hoped will soon dis appear, 'when pupils and parents recognize the inconvenience and loss of time caused by it in organizing the classes.
 The establishment of a lodge of Knights of Labor" is looked upon ap- prehensively by some, hopefully by oth- CTS. The former fear that the organize tion in it's power. may be tyranical, and tend to grow @ feeling of antagonism be- tween those who should have common interest. The latter hope much from the good sense of the leaders of the organiza- ton. If we hear aright the late strike would never have been made in SO precip- itate a manner had the weavers been mem- bers of the Knights of Labor, for the reason that the grievances must first have been laid before the officers of central organization, and strike ordered only on examination, the finding of real grievances, and failure of arbitration. Such course we feel sure would have removed any grounds for strike here, if the officers holding power and responsibilities had been the pains taking men that they should have been. Reasonable manufacturers are not afraid of dealing with real working men. It is only the political demagogues and professional agitators that make the mischief, and carry impulsive young op- eratives into movements chiefly disastrous to themselves.
