Mr.. w. f. Grove of New Auburn,
Indiana, has an old Masonic Apron
which came into his possession in 1864.
The apron was stolen during the late
war by some Federal soldier while
serving in the Shenandoah Valley.
The apron was given by a private
to his Colonel, with the statement
that he had taken it from lodge
which they had raided; that the
apron was in a neat box with the
name OF Geo. Washington, and the
had thrown the box in a creek they
had crossed. The Colonel left it with
Mr. Grove, who was then located at
Louisville, KY, and dealt in Masonic
goods, to have it rebound, and he sup
posed the Colonel was called away
to his company hurriedly, as he was
never heard of afterward. The apron
is relic highly priced by Mr.. Grove,
but he is anxious to find the original
owner, and would be glad to cores
pond with any person in this part OF
the State who may have lost one dur
ing the war. He will surrender 1t
when the owner proves it.

A Whimsical Frenchman's Burial.

A worthy citizen of the republic OF
letters has been uttered at Dole, in
the Jura. According to his written
request, he was put in his coffin ready
dressed for reawakening. Under his
head was placed a French edition of
Horace, at his feet copy Of Milton,
in his right hand Greek Testament,
in his left hand an Elzevirian edition
of Horace, while under his back lay
an English edition of the same Latin
poet The coffin was painted green
symbolic Of hope. On his tombstone
he had engraved in advance:
He that you seek lives still.
The funeral cortege, details drawn
up by himself, was limited to six most
intimate friends and co-admirers of
Horace During the lowering of the
coffin into the grave they sang a
stanza from an indicted ode. The
funeral ceremony over, the friends
repaired to the residence of the de-
ceased's sister who had been ordered
to serve u Lucullian supper after
which other indicted stanzas from an
ode were sung. 1t was furthermore
stipulated by the injunctions that
when his friends had become slightly
headyn and all the formalities had
been executed, they were at once, and
forever, to forget the defunct.

Dollar Wheat.


Wheat was dollar bushel in Bal
timore on Tuesday, fer the first time
in a good many months. The dealers
here are offering SO cents, which is 10
cents more a bushel than last year.
The present advance is due to the
prospect that the spring wheat crop
in the Northwest will fall short OF
early estimates. The Northwestern
millers are bidding up the price OF
spring wheat by purchases of grain to
keep their mills busy during the COM
ing year. This will prevent heavy
shipments of wheat to the seaboard
and check expectation. In Baltimore
Tuesday October wheat was quoted
at $1.O1 and December at S1.O4s.
Corn is going up along with wheat,
and prime yellow sold at 60 cents.
On Wednesday there was another
advance of about two cents bushel,
with fir market reported.

Morqan's Grove Notes.

In a few weeks more the Stock and
Agricultural Exhibition will open in
Morgan's Grove. The managers are
busy getting everything in proper
shape to have one Of largest and most
satisfactory exhibits the society has
ever had.
The grounds will be improved, more
buildings will be erected and many
conveniences added for the comfort
of the visitors.
The number of exhibits will be en-
larged and greater variety provided
for.
Ample provision will be made for
the feeding and care of stock and for
the care Of the exhibits.
Arrangements have been made with
the railroads for the transportation
and unloading of the exhibits, and
extra trains will be run for the ac-
commodation of visitors.
All this has been done by the man
ayers, but much remains to be done
by the community and friends of the
enterprise, who can add greatly TO
the interest of the exhibition. They
can talk it up" encourage all to take
part in the exhibition by bringing ex-
hibits of vegetable, grains, fruits,
fowls, live stock, machinery, natural
and artificial flowers, needle work,
art work, curiosities, &C., &c.
The society was not organized to
make money and hence does not
charge any fees for admission to visi-
tors, which is the usual source of in
come to agricultural fairs. But, in
order to encourage exhibitors, the
friends OF the enterprise every year
offer premiums for various exhibits.
A list of some of these will be found
in this issue. This may be regarded
as tax upon the friends Of the
society, but they do it willingly for
the sake of the benefit accruing to
the farming community from such ex-
hibitions and associations of the
people.
1t is true, that the society has no
funds out Of which it could pay large
premiums for the exhibition of stock,
but it does the best it can and hopes
that it's friends will show a like
spirit and do what they can to in
terest evey one in Morgan's Grove
annual exhibition.

The Reform School of Vest Virginia.

me ntIU" OCUUUf VI pCot ~ J''Hd
There is an erroneous idea concern
ing the school Pupils are not sen
fenced" to it, Under the regulation
adopted boys must be sent to the
school until they are Of age. A boy
may be discharged within Is months
after his entrance, il his conduct Is
tirst-rate. A regular system of merit
badges, copied from the national
school near Washington, has been es-
tablished How long n boy will stay
at the school depends on his own
conduct. 1t cannot be less than IS
months Except in cases of pay pupils
who will be received for a period of
not less than u year., or it may be un-
til he is 81 years Of age. After his dis
charge, he is liable to rearrest at any
time until he is 81. Judges and
justices sending boys to school do
not sentence them for a definite
period as to jail or to the penitentary,
but place them in charge OF the
school until they reach their ma
jority. The directors decide whether
the boy is fit to be discharged while
in his minority. Such is the rule at
all the reform schools of the country,
so far as we know.
The board meets on the second
Tuesday of October, January, April
and July, and the executive COM
mittee on the second Tuesday Of each
month. The committee for the cur
rent three months is Messrs. Dawson,
Woods and Sennett.

''Of to School,"

| vi ~ SCHUOi.
The old saying, Distance lends en-
chantment to the view," is as true o.
schools as Of landscapes. AS distance
obcures the marks which mar the
beauty Of a landscape and gives to
the crest of mountain its eternal
blue, so it also hides the imperfections
of a school and by the aid OF the i'm
agination crowns it with halo. The
sound Of the phrase "off to school" il
one of peculiar sweetness to ambitions
youth.
4 few parents and children within
the reach of Shepherd College have
suffered from this hallucination and
their pocket-books have also suffered.
In one case father sent his son ''off
to school" and paid four hundred
dollars year for the same grade Of
instruction that would have cost him
one hundred and eight dollars or even
less at Shepherd College.
The question. is frequently asked,
why are expenses less at Shepherd
College than at other schools!' The
answer is because the State pays. the
salaries of the teachers and all other
expenses of Shepherd College, while
in other schools these expenses must
be paid out of the tuition fees re-
ceived.
Nor is the useless expenditure of
money the worst feature OF the case.
In most instances the pupils are un-
prepared to enter the schools to which
they are sent and as a consequence
they get smattering instead of an
education. The parents means are
exhausted or greatly reduced before
the desired education is finished and
then the pupils are taken from school
to go through life without the bless
ing which they might have enjoyed
had their parents used their means
wisely. In some cases ii is not educa-
ton but Accomplishment that is
desired. Which is better-hard wood
finish or veneer?
Let those who should be the pa
irons of Shepherd College send their
children there until they have re-
ceived a practical education. The
cost is so small that means can thus
be saved to pay their expenses at
some university or first-class semina-
ry where they may choose to take
higher course. BY this plan a
thorough education, true culture,
and knowledge of what is beyond
the limits of the home community
may be gained.
