New Orleans Times Democrat The rising generation has its own standards and the little ones judge for themselves of the wisdom, strength or character of his torical persons rather by familiar criterions than any abstract idea of what these quail ities should be. An amusing instance of this occurred day or two ago in the Sun day school of one of the synagoguos of the city. During the course of a lesson the teacher asked the bright little boy of the rabbi "Who was the strongest man ?" Without the slightest evidence of humor and gazing frankly into the eye of the teacher, the little one responded quickly ''John l.. Sullivan" The teacher, after recovering from his surprise, attempted to correct his precocious scholar and informed him that he was mistaken, as Sampson was the individual referred to. This did not daunt the knowing child, for he at once replied "If Sampson was alive to- day bet Sullivan would knock him out in the second round" The attention of the class was at once directed to another biblical subject, from which modern com parisons could be less readily drawn.

The striking mania reached the 1b0 girls in bean picking establishment in Chicago the other dsy. A committee of three waited upon the proprietor, and as they entered the office he asked
 "Is it Q strike ?'
 "That depends. We have come to de- mand, not increased pay or shorter hours, but the removal of the paint on the win dows, So that we can firt with the boys in the engine house opposite"
 "Are you determined ?"
 "No hirt-no stay"
 "Your demand is granted. Go back to your beams"
 And that afternoon the paint was re- moved and the girls sang the songs of vic- tory.

. The village of Staffordville is running down; the wastes by fires not being re- placed. Property has depreciated. Some of the finest mill sites in Eastern Connec- ticut stand unoccupied, though equipped with dams, race-ways, wheel pits, and, ill some cases, wheels The ruins of burned mills, in some instances, are in such shape as to reduce the cost of building. Rea- son: The nearest railway is five miles away. Build a railway from Stafford Springs to Southbridge and the apprecia- tion of real estate in Stafford alone will cover the amount required to be paid on the capital stock before bonding the road. Real estate in Staffordville would aopreci- ate 50 to 100 per cent. This in addition to various advantages and conveniences that would have a cash value to the towns business men.
 As on various previous occasions Staff ford had no thief detecting society when it had need of one. It often happens that when there is such a society there is no occasion for its use, because thieves avoid those places where their business is at- tended with most danger. A reputation for vigilance ill pursuing thieves is worth much to place as protection against thievery. So the reward offered last week by the selectmen, if it brought no other result, yet would pay as showing that the authorities have an interest in bringing to justice those who commit crime in Stafford. But thief detecting society would be a good thing to have, even if it grew rusty for lack of use. It is easier to oil up a rusty machine when occasion arises to use it than to build new one or to adopt for use some machine better fitted for other work. Some have agitated the reorgani- zation of the Stafford thief detecting soci- ety. It is good idea, and should be acted upop

Sad Bereavement.

Death has again invaded our valley. This
time TO summon from our midst, Mr.. Abra-
ham Book, aged 81 years, months and 20
days. On last Saturday his mortal remains
were tenderiy laid to rest in Leonard's
graveyard, awaiting the glorious resurrec-
ton morn. He was an honest man. a genial
neighbor, loving husband, kind father,
aud consistent christian. That he was
very highly esteemed and beloved by those
who knew him is atiested by the large con-
course of neighhors who gathered around
bis dying bed in sympathy and love on the
occasion OF his sickness. ssNone knew hi IN
but to love, none named him but to praise, -
and although he suffered long and much, he
submitted to it all with the sustaining grace
of ore who lives not for this xorle clone.
We can do no more than mourn with those
who mourn and gracefully submit to this
mystery of Providence, which now seems
so dark, but which though il be our loss,
will be his eternal gain. He has passed.
from all trials and pain, and triumphed ov-
or death with the heroism of Paul, patient
ly enduring the Affections of this life to re-
ceive the reward Of ssfar more exceeding
and eternal weight of glory"

Lightning In Perry County.

From tho Newport lie dger of May % !:
During the heavy thunder storm which pass
ed over this valley last Saturday night
about eight O'Clock, the barn on the Peter
Metzgar estate, In Miller township, zbout
half mile southwest of Losh's Run Station,
was struck by lightning and set on fire. The
barn contained several head of horses, one
COW, two wagons, two sieighs, buggy,
threshing machine, drill, windmill, harrow,
hay and straw, harness, &C., all of which
were burned except the horses. There was
no one at home except a son and two
daughters, at the time of the fire, and as
soon as the young man discovered that the
building was on fire he went TO rescue the
horses and COW (the other cattle and sheep
were in the barn yard and escaped), and
succeeded after much trouble IN gettin 6
out the horses, but the COW was lying down
ard seeming to have been paralyzed, he
was forced TO leave her perish. The loss
is estimated, at 81 200; insurance for $3.50
in the Lurgan Mutual on the building and
contents. II. B. Cumbler, had a half inter-
est in the phosphate drill that was burned.
Mr.. Cumbler says that he was not over
four hundred yards away from the barn
when the lightning struck it, AMI when he
reached the scene he was unable to get in
to it to save any thing, on account of tho
heat.
Last Saturday night, while the storm was
raging and the air was highly charged with
electricity, large quiyering flame was
seen perched on the top of Capt. F. N. Nc
Keehan's barn, in Centre township. The
phenomenon remained for some seconds,
being seen by members of the family, and
finally seemed to dart to the earth on the
other side of the barn. This class of phen-
omena is quite harmless and usually makes
itself visible on the points of non-conduct-
ors or of insulated conductors.
The barn Of Mr.. J. W. Williamson, near
Liverpool, was also struck By lightning,
Saturday evening, and burned with its con-
tents. which consisted OF hay, straw, and
agricultural implements. There was no
hive stock kept in the barn, as Mr.. William
son lives in Liverpool, and keeps his horses
and cattle there. Loss S5O0i insurance
$500.
The same EVENING". W. Gantt's dwelling
house, in Centre township, was struck, and
the roof set on fire, but few buckets OF
water quenched the flames. Noue OF the
family were hurt. 1t will be necessary to
put an entire new roof on the house.
The old tannery building at Loysville,
was struck by lightning on Saturday, AMI
set on ire, but the flames were extinguisn-
al Two families live in the second story
of the building, hut none of the members
were injured.

Banks Dunn was leading horses from 8
Held on the Henry Aughey farm, in Milford
township, last Thursday afternoon. Just
as he came around the end of the barn a
bolt of lightning came down the lightning
rod and killed three sheep that lay near the
ROD, and SO frightened the horse that Dunn

against the barn and broke and disIocated
his right arm at the shoulder. DR.. Banks
was called and gave the necessary surgical
attention. Dunn is getting along as well
as can be expected.
