little village, which has been, and is
now being presided over by one of
the fair daughters of Owosso, Miss
Ida M. Prayer; which we think, in
all that goes to make up successful
school cannot be excelled anywhere
in Shiawassee county, being now en-
gagged in teaching her fourth term;
at all times giving the very best of
satisfaction to both pupils and pat
rons. Raising their standard of
scholarship from what we might term
low ebb to one closely approaching
one hundred in their various studies;
all this in the short space of four
terms, always maintaining the best of
order, and that in such a way that
she has endeared herself to every
scholar and gained the profound re.
spect of every patron, another proof
that gentle means are far more ef-
fectual than liberal application of
the rod. Then we say long may her
services be retained to conduct our
school she has so successfully
handled for four terms.

"BY His Works YE SHALL JUDGE
HIM" This community is very often
afflicted by visits from INSCRIPTIONS
pretenders, who under the name of
the celebrated DIR. So-and-So, from
some far off region, have, by food
ing the country with enticing circu-
lars, induced the unwary unfortunates
to consult them, and after they had
gathered in all the ready cash their
victims could raise to pay them they
left the country to ply their nefarious
calling in other fields and pastures
new, without regard TO the suffering
they left behind them.
We are happy to say that DR.. Al
bert has proven himself totally diff
terent sort of man. He comes
among us as often as his limited time
permits him to be absent from his
celebrated Medical Institute al Cleve-
land, and with each visit his popu-
larity increases. From all sides we
receive evidences of his skill in the
treatment Of difficult cases, and the
general satisfaction he gives to all
with whom he has any dealings,
proves his honor and integrity to be
beyond question. Our opinion is that
none who are suffering can afford to
miss an opportunity to consult him.

The Perils of the oieander.

The oleander contains deadly poison
in its leaves and plants, and it is dam
gerous plant for the parlor or dining
room. But it is far more dangerous about
halfway down the basement stairs, when
it has attained its full growth and lives in
a large iron-bound green tub and weighs
about IS, GOO pounds. The botanists seem
to have overlooked this dangerous quality
Of the pernicious oleander But all men
whose wives have kept blenders know the
perils of that pernicious and deadly shrub

in the love of nature holds communion
with the oleander and her tub, she speaks
4 varied language, and causes him to utter
the same accents, bat Us the mildest variety

we refrain from giving even a diluted
sample.
Once upon time the wife Of Roman
gladiator planted an oleander in Il tub, and
autumn and spring she made Rome's tierc-
est gladiator take it III and take it cut. Is
the oleander grew, and the tub from time
to time was exchanged for bigger ard
heavier one the gladiator's strength grew
until he could carry full-grown oleander
down stairs, and through narrow door
without I groan, grGnt or skinning his
knuckIes, and the Queen Of Sheba came to
see hin. and couldn't believe it. One night

By mistake he picked up his neighbours
cottage and four acres of land, rs described
by meter and bounds, and carried it all
down into his basement dining-room The
oleander remaining out over night, froze to
death. The poor wife died Of broken
heart. The neighbor sued the gladiator for

was given his choice, by the Court, of
dying or fighting some one, Having been

school he had never had fight III his hfe,
and would rather die than fight. So they

A SURE PREvESrIvE-The disease
known as black-leg attacked the young
cattle on the ranch of Scott 6 Kalleck
several weeks ago, and they began dying
off at the rate Of about one day, the ami
mails dropping off very quickly after ex-
hibiting the first symptoms OF the disease.
Milt Polk, who has charge of the ranch,
Immediately took steps for preventing the
further spread of the malady by the adop-
ton of the following remedy: Equal parts
of sulphur, saltpeter, garlic, assafetida
and lard, beaten up together and made
into paste, which, being made into balls
about the size of large buckshot, one was
introduced in the side of the neck of each
animal by making small opening in the
hide and loosening it downward from the
incision, thus forming a small pocket, into
which the bali of paste was thrust. The
animals were then turned loose upon the
same ground from which they had been
gathered, and treated III every respect as
they had been before. II is now over two
weeks since the treatment, and not single
case of the disease has developed The
test was thorough, and certainly seems to
have been perfect Success Exchange
