Normal Institute.

The State Superintendent has APP
pointed a two weeks institute for the
instruction of County Institute in
structors to be held at Parkersburg,
beginning August 18th. Professor
w. ii. Payne of the Nashville Normal
School. assisted by others, will con-
duct it. These instructors are all
good takers and popular lecturers
but, we learn from well informed
teachers who have attended their in
structions, that the character of their
instructions is not at all adapted to
our public school work. The public
school teachers need instruction in
the practical work of conducting and
managing schools and as entertained
by lectures on subjects relating to
higher school work.

Railroad Accident.

huITOuO HCCIutHt
There was IA pretty bad accident on
the Ohio River Railroad, thirteen
miles from Wheeling, last Thursday
night, when special train carrying
a number of b. & o. officials went
over twenty-foot embankment.
The party were in the private car of
General Manager Odell, and were
making good time when the car sud-
denly jumped the track. There was
brief jolting over the ties, and then
a fall downward for distance of
twenty feet, the car falling flat on its
top. Fortunately, all the lights in
the car were Immediately eXtin-
guished by the jar, or fire would
likely have occurred, and in that
case the chances of those inside the
car would have been slim. The occu-
pants succeeded in getting out of the
wreck, and upon the arrival of d
relief train from Wheeling were all
taken back to that city. Captain j..
+. Legge, son-in-law of DIR. John Rey-
nolds, of Shepherdstown, was on the
train. His right arm was broken be-
tween the wrist and elbow, both
bones being fractured, and he also
sustained flesh wounds and bruises.
His injuries were painful, though not
dangerous. J. A. Hunter, division
engineer, was badly hurt internally;
j. Ii. Mack, of the Ohio River Rail
road, skull fractured and other inJu-
ries: Major Johnson, head badly cut
and body bruised; the other occu-
pants of the car were more or less
shaken up and bruised.

if any they have, why their pastors
should not resign. Presbytery re-

He Lost Both Fortune and Girl.

1t is hard luck to lose one sprospect-
i've bride and q Thousand dollars, all in
one day, but such was my fate once"
remarked Mr.. August Miller, prosper
Gus farmer of Allegany County, who is
on visit to this city. "You see," he
continued, "the neighborhood where I
live was visited by circus, and with
the circus were some side shows. At
one Of the latter there were two or three
fellows who manipulated q game OF
cards. After looking at them for some
time became greatly interested and
decided to bet a thousand dollars on the
game. Of course I lost. The gamblers
at once left the vicinity. Igot out war
rants charging them with swindling and
followed them to Carlisle and other
places, but did not get anything back.
But worse than this, the young lady to
whom I was engaged to be married
heard Of the occurrence and sent me
word that the engagement was broken,
as she did not wish to be united to q
gambler. She subsequently married a
minister and I have never seen her
from that day. The Baltimore NeDs.

with the Current.

An English traveller in Brazil reports
an ingenious contrivance OF the boat
men BY which the current Of the stream
is made to counteract the sea-breeze
blowing up the Rio San Francisco.
The canoe was carried down the
stream BY the force Of the current, but
in the afternoon, and during the greater
part of the night, the sea-breeze blew
SO strong as to impede our progress
The boatmen, however, adopted plan
to overcome this, which I have never
seen elsewhere, nor even heard Of, and
I will therefore explain it in few
words.
They landed at place where trees
grew in abundance, and in a short time
cut off q considerable number of
branches, which they tied tightly to-
gether with cords. One end Of q long
rope was made fast round the middle Of
this bundle, while the other end was se-
cured to the canoe
The boatmen then steered for Q part
of the river where the current was stong,
and threw the bundle overheard. This
being heavy from its green state, foated
Just below the surface Of the water. and
in this manner being entirely out Of the
influence of the wind, it received the
whole force Of the current, and by this
means the canoe was dragged down at
a rapid rate little inferior to that BY
which we descended during tho oklm Of
the day.

Miles Away.

It often happens that the heavenly
bodies assume near and personal re-
lation to us. "Why didn't ye come
over to me when beckoned p asked
one newsboy of another, who had APP
parently cut him. Il couldn't see ye,
Dennis, honest. The sun was in me
eyes," @Then knock the sassy spalpeen
out O yer eyes next timel" growled
Dennis.
Ten or fifteen years ago, says the
New York Tribune, Col. Mackenzie
was looked upon as one Of the most
promising candidates for appointment
as Brigadier General when q vacancy
should occur; but Col. Miles was also o
candidate, and had fine military re-
cord. His friends were confident that
he would be the next officer TO place
the Brigadier Generals star on his
epaulette.
One bright, starlight night Col.
Mackenzie was in camp, on scout, on
the plains of Texas. He was walking
up and down in front Of his tent, snap
ping his fingers in nervous manner,
when suddenly he stopped and gazed
intently at the heavens.
An old friend and comrade stepped
out of his tent at that moment, and
called to him:
sWhat are you looking for, Colonel p
@Oh,. was the careless answer. II
am only looking for star.
Colonel" said the other. Il fear
there's Miles between You and that
star"
And so it proved.

Mr.. HENRY RUSSELL, the well-known
composer of Cheer, Boys, Cheer" was
walking through Ipswich, England, a
short time ago, when he saw the follow
ing announcement placarded upon the
entrance to the town hall: Lecture
on the late Henry Russell" Much in
terested, he walked in, took seat, and
listened as the eloquent lecturer, whom
he had never seen before in his life,
proceeded after this fashion: II can
scarcely describe my feelings as I stood
by that open grave, and watched the
coffin that contained all that was mortal
Of my dear old friend lowered into the
yawning gulf beneath. Ere it wa
quite lost to sight, dropped my hum
BILE tribute, simple wreath, the last
testimony of my affection for the COM
poser Of 'Woodman Spare that Tree T and
of many other songs we know and love
so well" At this point Mr.. Russell,
convulsed with laughter, darted from
the hall, leaving behind him an irate
lecturer and scandalized audience.
