"A special dispatch from Nashville,
Tenn, dated April -, says: Miss Mollie
Green is a heroine in Perry County to.
night. She is but eighteen years old, and
teaches school on Cypress creek in Perry
County, though her father, Robert Green,
lives across the Tennessee river in Hick-
man County. The little log schooihouse
was quiet and the little children busy
with their lessons. when q dog. foaming
at the mouth, swapping and biting, dashed
in at the door and sprang towards one of
the children. The brave teacher thought
only OF the children in her care, and sprang
between them and the intruder. She told
them it was a mad dog, and kicked at it,
her skirts protecting her, and by the aid
Of heavy ruler she kept it at bay
until all the children had fed. The infu-
rated animal repeatedly sprang at her
throat, out she was two agile to be caught
and resolutely held her ground. When all
the little ones were gone she desperately
fought OF the dog until she reached the
door, which she pulled to after her and fell
fainting outside. The children had in the
meantime run to the nearest house, an
eighth OF a mile distant, and given the
alarm. Two men came up, aud after re.
viving the teacher with water, killed the
dog. The dog had been in the neighbor-
hood for few days. The grateful parents
OF the children took up q subscription
and propose to give the young lady q
fine saddle horse. Her clothes were lit
orally torn OF during the struggle with the
dog.

The following sheep claims were allowed by
Save the Wood Ashes.

Wood ashes have too great value to be
wasted. Every farmers family should make
its own supply. 1t is cheaper for the farmer
to make soap than to buy it. When not
utilized on the farm, ''soap grease" is either
wasted or sold for APPLIANCE. After the ashes
are leached they are nearly as valuable rs
before for manure, where the soil does not
lack potash. If teaspoonful of clean wood
ashes is given every third day to horses in
their feed they will rarely need condition
powders" The same amount given to cattle
will have good results. Cattle, also swine,
are frequently seen licking ashes where rub
bish has been burned. The ashes given to
hogs may be mixed with their salt. Ashes
correct acidity of the stomach and destroy
some intestinal worms. Wood ashes are a
valuable fertilizer for crops, but especially
for orchard crops. They contain all the
mineral elements required by plants. The
fine condition and peculiar proportion of
their ingredients make their real agricultural
value greater than the value computed from
chemical analyses. Coal ashes are com
paratively worthless, but wood ashes should
never be thrown away.

Rink Opera House.

Commencing Monday evening, December
10th, 1888, the Celebrated Riley Dramatic Co.
will begin weeks engagement with change
of programme nightly. Prices of admission,
Children 15c, adults 25c, reserved seats 35c.
We clip the following from one of our ex-
changes:
"The Riley Dramatic company opened at
the opera house for a weeks engagement
Monday night. By way of advertising their
business here, the opening night was made
free, or partially SO, large number of COM
plimentary tickets being issued. This was
done with the additional object of giving the
people an opportunity to see the company's 5
caliber. The house was crowded. The play
for this first night was "Lynwood," melo-
drama of undeniable merit, and to say that
it was elega ntly costumed and artlstically
played, is doing the company but simple JUS
tice. Miss Esther Lyons as Lucille Carlyle
displayed great talent as an actress, and was
ably assisted by Miss Georgia Briar in the
role of Kate Menroth, W. Fl. Riley. Jr., as
Victor Blanchard, Line Kibbey, as Dudley
Middleton, George Mahare as Judge Carlyle,
and F. G. King as Carter, the newspaper cor,
respondent. The whole cast was good, and
gave every reason for expecting a big house
the following evening, on which occasion
is a beautiful play, and deserved a full atten-
dance, bat in spite of the demonstration of
ability made the previous night, the audience
was very small one. As Marie. Miss Lyons
won golden opinions on every side, display
ing with most commendable faithfulness the
wide range of emotions required by her diff,
ficult part. F. G. King, in the character OF

The system of cream gathering in which
SO many dairymen are interested, is gaining
many friends in all parts of the north. The
great object being to lessen the work at home
as we'll as to obtain the greatest price in the
sale of butter. The Cooley system seems TO
be leading far in advance of all others, and
for factories rs well as for private dairie7 it
claims to have no equal. Notice the adyer-
tisement wherein is set forth to some extent
the record of triumphs at the great fairs and
expositions, to which should be added first

is indeed wonderful what progress has been
made in the dairy business.

Worth Knowing.

To measure bin for wheat, corn, potatoes,
ETC., multiply together the length, breadth
product by SIS. and multiply the quotient by
As. The result shows the contents in bushels,
struck measure. There are about four -ffths
as many bushels as cubic feet in the contents
of bin, hence it will be sufficiently accurate
to divide the product by five and multiply the
quotient by four. By this rule the contents
can be known in few minutes.

farming operations. The successful farmer
of to-day will not be the successful farmer Of
