Horace's Gap.--Jefferson Co.

The old g Gridiron Academy
caught fire on Friday last, from de-
fective flue, but fortunately it was
discovered, and the teachers and
pupils succeeded in extinguishing it
before much damage was done. The
fire was in the upper part of the bull
ding and as there was no opening in
the ceiling, it became necessary to
make one in the roof, in order to get to
the fire. The damage was repaired
on Saturday, and the school proceed
ed as usual on Monday. County Su-
perintendent, John Hess, Esq, spent
the afternoon of Tuesday with the
school, and seemed to enjoy his visit
very well.
The ladies of Mt. Zion Baptist
Church will have an Oyster Supper at

ment of some Indebtedness of the

A young man by the name of
Smith, living near Fairmont, w. Va,
went out at night to set a trap for a
rabbit. He did not return. Moth
ing was thought of his absence at
the time. Failing to return the
next day or night, a number of men
went in search of him, finding his
body in the woods, suspended by
the neck to sapling. There is no
reason for his committing suicide,
and it is believed that his death was
caused by the moose of the trap Slip
ping and catching him around the
neck, from which he could not extri-
cate himself.

Give. thanks for the changeful seasons,
Fdt the promises of spring.
For the perfume and the fruitage
That the summer blossoms bring;
GIVE thanks for the autumn harvest,
For the ripened fruit and grain;
Give thanks for the winters season,
When the days are short again.
Give thanks for the harvest garnered,
Then the tired earth can rest,
And well gather round the Preside
With the dear ones we love best.
GIVE thanks that the Master knoweth
When the thirsty soil needs rain.
Ilve thanks that our choicest blessings
Are the underground of pain.
Give thanks that the hungry birdlings
Are well-fed from Natures yield
That no care for food or raiment
Have the fowerets of the field.
Give thanks for the midday sunshine,
For the social hour of evening"
For the silence of the night.
Give thanks that the hand of friendship
VIII uphold us when we faint
That the love of little children
Hath no sinful, selfish faint.
Give thanks that the earth is lovely,
Give thanks that each life is blest
With its trials or its blessings,
For He knoweth which are best.

The terrific storm accompanied by
rain which swept over this section on
Wednesday night last, was a regular
hoWler," and reminded us very
much of storms witnessed on the ives

houses were unroofed, fences blown
and trees uprooted. In this place the
gable end of Mr.. E. G.. w. Stakes
residence was SO badly damaged that
it had to be taken down and rebuilt.
Also the gable end of Mr.. Samuel Lee
fever's residence was slightly dam
aged. These are both substantial
brick buildings and stand on elevated
points in the town and were the only
ones damaged. The most singular
part of it is, the south gable of Mr.
Stakes residence was damaged, while
the north end of Mr.. Lefever's suffer-
ed they stand near one another but
on opposite sides of the street.
1t is reported that the brick school
house at Mt. Maria, this county was
blown down by the storm.

North MOUNTAIN,

Mr.. Tabler, will tell you about a
boy that died with the locked-jaw.
He ran thorn in the ball of his foot.
His name was John Younker. The
thorn came out on top of the foot.
He lived in Maryland. The last time
/ saw John | was over there, and we
were at the mile stone on the Mason
and Dixon line between Penn. and
Maryland. The stone had M. on one
side and Penn. on the other. We had
pleasant walk down the long lane
and out by the old saw mill of Jona-
than Weller. We weren't swimming
in the mill-pond. We went down
there about 3 O'Clock and stayed till
six. John was friendly fellow. 1t
grieved me whenI heard he was dead i,
and John was a first cousin of mine.
Every time [ went over there he
would come and meet me somewhere,
it seemed as if be knew we were COM
ing and he was on the watch. John
had little brother of six named ST.
mon. His mother had him bound on
cot because he had the white SWELL
ing in his leg. The last time l heard
of him he had been there s weeks, for
all know he is there yet. On the
bottom of his foot on the cut was a
weight over a pulley to keep his leg
from drawing up. JOHN l.. HULL.
