HID 1T WELL,

A gentleman told me of a strange
experience related by friend of
his. 1t was during the battle of
Gettysburg, that his friend Just be.
fore entering the action, took his
canteen from his shoulder and hid
it in a crevice in the rock. Then
came that fiery hail of shot and
she'll that swept down regiments
like fields of wheat before the reap
er. At the close of the battle the
soldier forgot all about his can
teen, nor did it ever occur to him
again until he visited the field at
the late reunion. Then flashed
through his mind, and after a few
minutes search he found it where
he had left it on that momentous
day. 1t seems hardly creditable
that it could have been overlooked
during the minute exploration of
the field ever since the war, but
the gentleman who related the Incl.
dents is Of unimpeachable veracity.
Exchange.

Oshkosh, Wis, Sept. 11th A curl
Gus story is told here of the mira
culous recovery of Miss Emma
Bennett, a young lady who resides
with her brother, VIM. Bennett, a
farmer, near this city. For nine
years past Miss Emma, who is now
thirty two years old, has been a
bed.ridden invalid. Her desease
was called consumption of the
blood. During her nine years, con-
finement she has not uttered a
loud word. Part of this time she
was able to lisp in faint whisper.
Frequently she thought to be dead.
For upward of three years one side
of her body was paralyzed, render
her still more helpless Sunday
noon the family was at dinner,
when suddenly from the sick room
came the sound Of full, round

No. 1. INTERESTING TO
LADIES.

Our lady readers can hardly fail
to have their attention called this
week to the latest combination OF
improvements in that most useful
of all domestic implements, the
''sewiDg machine"
As we understand it, a machine
for family use should meet first of
all these requirements: 1t should
be simple in its mechanism; IL
should run easily; it should do a
wide range of work; it should be
as nearly noisless as possible; it
should be light, handsome, DUR.
able and as cheap as is consistant
with excellence throughout.
These conditions the "Light-
Running New Home" certainly
meets. 1t has also several very
important and useful attachments
and motions" of its own, which
60 far to make good its claims to
popular favor.
The "New Home" specially rec
ommends itself to purchasers on
account of it's superior meehani--
cal construction, ease of manage
ment and reasonable price. Over
half a million have been sold in the
last three years, all of which are
giving universal satisfaction. This
unrivalled machine is manufac-
tured by the NEW HOME SEW
ING MACHINE CO., Orange,
Mass, and % Union Square, New
York.

MISS Il, f. T. MERRITT WINS
THE PRIZE.

The principalship of the Banne
ka school, tnat was made vacant
by the resignation of Miss Annie
Foot, has been filled by the ap'
pointment of Miss E. F. T. Mer-
ritt Of the 7th Grade, Randall
building. There were several
candidates for the position, and
two of them were strongly indors-
ed by good educators and per-
sons of influence. Prior to the
appointment of Mr.. Cornish, for
mer trustees would appoint per-
sons to positions simply because
they were tavorites with the school
officers. Miss Merritt, although one
of the finest teacher in the corps,
was neverfortunate enough to be
favurite with the dignltaries of
the schools, or in other words,
the Lord High trustees, but she
always had the respect and encour-
agement of superintendent Cook
who didn't stand we'll with certain
corrupt trustees who have since
been removed by the District Com
mlssioners.
The policy of Mr.. Cornish, to a
great extent, has been to promote
teachers On their merits and not
for fayoritism, which is the result
of the appointment of Miss Merritt
to the principalship of the Banne-
ker school.
