Mr.: s. o. Jackson has moved into his
new house.
The school at the Institute has enrolled
more than seventy pupils,
"A few days ago Mr.. Fleetwood Banister
killed thirteen partridges at. nine shots.
Six were killed at two shots. BE never
misses the bird when he files.
Mr. PettigreW is having q new dwell
ing erected. Mr.. p. is most agreeable
citizen and neighbor, an d richly deserves
his success as O farmer.
n Messrs. McPhail, Bailey, Finley and
Others have terraced their fields. This is
an example that should be followed by
others, whose soil and fertilizers are being
washed away.
Messrs. Finley & Clinkscales have NOV:
ed their saw mill to q location near Major
Thompson is, where they will supply the
public with lumber. This is quite con-
venience to those who need lumber.
Mr. F. Latham killed mad dog last Sat.
urday morning. It bit several hogs, and
in q few days they, giving signs of hydro
phobia, had to be killed also.
Rev. M. Beigher preached an interesting
sermon at the Institute on last Sunday
evening. Mr.. Seigher is a rapidly rising
young preacher, and the people around the
Institute were glad to secure his services
fos. the second Sabbath afternoon in each
month of this year. Rev. Mr.. Cam will
oreach at the same place next Sunday at 8
O'clock p. M, and we suppose will preach
here regularly on the third Sunday.
zs "A cottage on DR.. NewelPs farm was
burned on last Saturday night. It is sup.
posed TO have been the work Of an incen-
diary. as NO one had lived in it this year.
This! is the third or fourth house within
this immediate neighborhood that has been
burned during. the past two or three years..
all of which must have been torched by an
ineendiary. We sincerely hope the guilty
party may be spotted before others suffer
the same fate.
IT is sad fact that most of the country
schools have to stop when the public funds
have been expended. While the money
received from the public helps the poor,
and in fact we could not get along without
st, there is objections to it.. Many are re-
living wholly upon this to educate their
children. Such are booming their chill
dren to ignorance, for the fund only pro-
poses to aid. It cannot pay all until its
resources have been made stronger.
We are neither, o philosoper nor good
farmer, but the following bit of philoso-
pQy, WHICH Nc uoEpe0CtAs w StsuSA ohO ooAAe-
= er day. seems to us to be sound reasoning:
5.tWhy is it that your crops. always stand
The drouth better than mine p said A. to
81, as We stepped up. The reply was y
am not certain that can answer that ques-
tion, unless it is because I plow deeper
than YOU" .'But how can deep plowing
save a. crop from drouth r was the next
question. .Oh, you see it lets the roots go
down nearer to the moisture, and besides
5it. produces water in the ground right
around the roots Of the plants: TO illus
trate You have often noticed in Summer,
when glasses are filed with water, that
drops will form on the outside of the glass,
shoWeverdry it may have been when the
water was put in the glass, Sometimes 1t
will even trickle down the sides Of the
glass. This is caused by the sudden con-
tact of the heat and cold. So it is when
you plow your land deep-you let the
warm air down near the always cool and
moist clay, and the sudden contact of the
extremes OF temperature always produce
water right around the roots Of the plant"
