He SHOT TOO Low THAT TIME.-The re-
port that Texas Harry had accidentally
shot and killed his wife while performing
his feats of craftsmanship at Franklin, Va.
was true in part. A correspondent writing
from that place, to the Suffolk Herald,
says:
"Texas Harry" gave an exhibition at the
Town Hall Friaay night, and while at
tempting to shoot an apple from his Wife
head with rife, missed the apple, and the
bullet, which fortunately was small one,
plougled along the top of her head, split
ting the scalp in its passage: She was as
sisted from the stage and the show ended.

ONE OF OUR NEEDs.-The trustees of the
Henderson Academy are taking steps to
secure the services of competent teacher
with a view to establishing a irst-class
male school in Henderson. We need such
an institution, surely. With all our boosted
progress in other respects, we are certainly
behind in the matter of good male school.
This ought not to be so. With our many
and superior advantages as to location,
healthfulness and favorable surroundings,
it is strange that Henderson is not today
the seat of large and flourishing school
for young men. Having secured the fe-
male college, now let's go to work to have
the other.

An Eight Footed Horse.

j. h. McCloud, a well known Battle
creek stock grower, is the owner of a
horse, two years and three months old,
which may well be denominated a
veritable Black Hills wonder. The
animal has eight perfectly formed an
kles and feet. The ankle joints, coffin
bone, frogs. and outer crusts ofthe hools
of the unnatural limbs are in appearance,
and so far as can be determined by the
closest and most critical examination,
perfect in form, differing only with the
natural limbs in size, being only about
half as large.
This wonderful animal, which may
be fairly said to head the list Of natures
freaks in the Hills, if not in America,
was raised by Mr.. McCloud at his ranch
on Battle creek, neal the Cheyenne
river, and for the purpose Of exhibition
represents a value equalling that Of a
herd of ordinary horses. Photographs
of this remarkable animal, taken by G.
l.. Hamilton, of this place, may be seen
at his gallery on Fifth street.

Will Test the Law.

The jamestown Capital, in a late issue
says:
1t is given out cold that several coun-
ty school superintendent are going to

law which knocked sc many of them
out this summer. We are not advised
as to what the points of attack will be
but there are several.
Commenting on which, the Rapid
Journal pe%rtinently remarks:
One who is at all familiar with the
law need not look far to find a wilmer
able point. The assumption of author
lty to legislate a man out Of office before
the expiration ola term for which he is
elected should be sufficient to knock the
law. higher than u kite. Still a man
who made the race before the people to
retain the Office, and failed, should not
be the first to raise thi S point.

Being interested in all that pertains 10
the success aud usefulness of our public
schools, We would call the attention Of
educators TO The value OF early training Ia
the use OF language and Tile need OF more
thorough insli uction In the knowledge OF
words We mean the English language,
and for the most lari. good old Anglo
Saxon words.
We are constrained To- believe That in far
Too many schools the ability TO name
words rapidly as they occur in the read
Ing lesson. in the geography or the history
IS allowed 10 suffice as the full measure OF
instruction in the department of language,
and The pupils thus pass To- other fields
without the ability TO either correctly spell
or properly pronounce the words they
have used, and with no knowledge at all
OF their true Specification or wealth of
meaning.
The q, rivaiion or history Of word as
found in the dictionary often opens up
delightful field for study and investigation
and through this the learners ambition to
attain greater power and fiuency in The use
OF words might be melted We believe
that the learned man is most clearly dis
iinguished from Tie ignorant by his great.
er command Of language and wider knowl-
ter field can there be. then. for the de
velopment of IA greater usefulness on the
part of our public schools than through a
larger and more intelligent study of our
own vocabulary?
Fortunately we have standard author
ity for the meaning and use of English
words, q recognized and universally
conceded court of last resort, nm open
webster, where are recorded for the use
OF all, the decisions of the best writers
and speakerssup0n the correct usage OF
every item that goes 10 make up the beau
tiful whole Of our mother tongue
We believe that our public schools will
attain greater usefulness, and be more
successful in teaching language Just in
The raiiQ that they send their pupils u the
oiciion'ty with more frequency. teaching
them TO $ndy its record more inteligently
and abideSAy its decisions more stesdfastly
1t needs noArgument to prove that every
schoolroom Nhould be supplied with II
copy of WebSfbE's Unabridged Dcti, ny,
as the foundatiaN for improved language
work. AS further means TO this desir-
able end, we can make no better recon-.
mendation Than TINT every pupil should
acquire the habit of c0pslant reference TO
authority by having ateltis desk u copy of
an abridged edition Of Webster, and that
every teacher should be Competent to give
instruction in its proper uses%
Without disparaging the Other abridg-
ments, we regard Webser's Academic
Dictionary as the best OF all for the hourly
use of pupils. and when it is remembered
that its usefulness will survive the pupils
school DAYS, and in the absence of the
unabridged become the family dictionary,
it is not too much 10 say that it should be
found on The desk of every pupil in our
