Mr.. Bruce Dresher and Miss Annie
Gibbons were united in holy wedlock
last Thursday. That a long and
happy life, with joy unalloyed may be
their lot, is the wish Of all their friends.

ago last Monday in pursuit of the fleet
footed antler, and, remaining longer
than the set time for his return, his
wife took alarm and sent their son-in-
law and John Knorr in company with
us, to learn of his whereabouts. On
arriving at the foot of the mountain,
or, rather in the FishiHgcreek notch,
we first learned that the "lost was
found" and came off of the mountain
the day before, homeward bound, but
we did not hear of any captured deer
This trip, however, was not wholly in
vain, our party, also, finding some
game by hucksters lost at which we
exclaimed, "mest is so plentiful, that

not expect to see at that place. Sam

the planning mill irm--Freas u Bros.

establishment for many years. Free.
man ID. Bower is employed by the
jackson h Woodin Mfg. Co. Gid.
Beishline is acting an important part
in the car shops, probably foreman.
The workingmeu seem to be contented
and happy. Several accidents occurred
in the shops last Monday or Tuesday.
Nathan Lynn was struck in the face
by the handle OF crank and sent
sprawling to the ground. Another
young man whose name we did not
learn, had his foot crushed by the fall
ing Of heavy piece of metal.
A novel works is the manufacturing
Of straw ropes by steam power-a
thing which reminds one of the ancient
days of spinning fax, when skilled
fingers divided the fibers and twisted
them into even threads and wound
them on spool by means of funnel
shaped fier, by the motion of the spin
ming wheel. These straw ropes are
used in the pipe foundry, forming a
core for the exterior of pipes. This
foundry is wonderful establishment
of art and mechanism, employing a
large number of men. All machinery
in these working shops is driven by
the force of powerful steam engines, of
which two, of 35 horse power each are
used in the car shops-a combination
of powers that require skilled engi-
neers to define and keep in successful
operation.
Gid Beishline has our thanks for
plotting us through all these sight see
ing wonders.
A new, neat, powerful and very
quick motioned engine is used in the
pipe foundry for the purpose of OBJ
tanning the greatest possible speed for
driving the windmill for smelling pur-
poses.
A stroll through the magnificent
building Of the Y. M. G. A., accompan-
led by their generous and accomplished
secretary was highly gratifying indeed
The rolling mill is not doing much,
though it seemed to be in active oper-
alton. We heard several workingmen
say that work is plenty, wages toler-
ably low, and produce and all things
else in the line of living corresponding
ly low and plenty, and that all can live
in luxury and still save little of their
hard earnings.
The contrast, however, between EN-
ployer and employed is very great
While workiugmen can live and accu-
mulate sufficient property, and provide
for themselves comfortable homes, to

TUESDAY AFTERNOON.


Institute was called to order and opened
with singing.
Prof Neff again took up the subject of
reading. Reading consists simply in get
ting and giving thought. Punctuation
marks aid in determining the thought, but
are otherwise valuable in reading So we
may say pun ctuation has everything TO do
with getting, but nothing TO do with
giving thought. How shall we prevent
monotone in reading? In the first place,
the pupil who reads in a monotone does
not realize what he is reading, In asking
questions relating to piece about to be
read by such pupil, ask concrete questions
that appeal to the imagination, and not
abstract questions that appeal merely to
the understanding. 1t is necessary for the
reader to feel thought before being able
to read it we'll This is not what we mean
by realizing thought, and, in order to
help pupils feel the thought, teachers must
appeal TO their Imagination. There are two
ways of getting thought. /, Through the
senses. 2. BY means OF language. The
senses collect Tor thoughts, and language
puts the material together. When childr, n
come to school their minds are filled with
material gathered from experience. No W.
the first thing to be doae, is to have them
express in their own language what they
have seen, heard, etc. This exercise should
be continued on through the year, and en-
gagged In, not only by the younger pupils,
but the older ones as well.

AT THE LAST.

There must be something after all this woe
A sweet fruition from the narrowed past;
But some day from the pacing to and fro;
A tender sunbeam and dear Hover at last.
There will be something when these days are
done;
Something more fair by far than starry nights;
A prospect hmitless, as one by one
Embodied castles crown the airy heights.
So cheer up, heart, and for that morrow wait!
Dream what you will, but press toward the
dream;
Let fancy guide dull efforts through the gate,
And face the current, would she cross the
stream.
Then when the something lies athwart the way
Coming unsOught, as good things seem to do
Twill prove beneath the fash of setting day
nobler need than now would beckOn you
For lifted up by constant, forward strife,
Hope will attain SO marvellous height
There can be nothing found within this life
After this day to form fitting night
SO heaven alone shall ever satisfy,
And Gods own light be ever light enough
To guide the purified. ennObled eye
Toward the smooth which lies beyond the
rough.
There will be something when these clouds skim
by
A bounteous yielding from the fruitful past;
And peace and rest upon the pathway lie
Although death and flowers at last.
