A Stallion Fight.

Jack Collins of Bath, N. Y, has two
booded stations, one bay pRmed Bcnat "a
and large gray called Butterfly. On satur.
day evening Bopsnza escaped from bis barn
and started on trot through the streets.
Jimmy. the tweive-old-brother of Collins,
mounted the gray stallion aud started 10
pursuit OF the bay. He overlook the latter
after long chase, and when the bay saw
that he was to be caught he turned sudden
ly and sprsug upon the gray. He seized
the latter in the heshy part OF the neck with
his teeth. The gray leaped to one side,
throwing his rider twenty feet and over q
fence. The boy got to his feet quickly, and
although he was famed by his terrible fall,
and the stations were rearing and pluneing
in fierce combat, hesucceeded in remount-
ing the gray. Els mother had witnessed his
fall, and tainted away. With the but of q
heavy riding whip the courageous boy show
cred blows on the head Of The bay stallion,
which had again fastened biz teeth in the
eray's neck, A number of men had gatte:-
ed around, but wsre afraid TO interfere, al
though the great peril of the Collins bog was
apparent to al. The bay stallion paid
no attention to the flows Of the whip,
and held to the gray by his teeth with
the tenaciiy of bulldog. The gray
plunged and reared with pain, and finally
threw his rider again. The boy fel! to the
ground between the two struggling horses,
snd the spectators turned their heads L.
did not seem possible that the plucky little
fellow could possibly escape being trempled
10 death beneath the feet of the stations.
With the quickne:s of e Cat, however, he
rolled to one side, and with incredible cou-
age u2onnted the gray stallion again. The
horses were ntil fighting furousy. When
the bog mounted bis horse tbe saoon6 time
two luau n the crowd p!ucked up courage
enough TO seiza clubs aud make en- effort to
separate the s;ailicns. They succeeded in
doing so The boy then turned the gray
stallion aud galioped toward home. But the
bay stallion vas still not inclined TO give tip
the fight, and started In pursuit. his ears
th.owu back, his mouth wide open, and
foam fying In showers from his mouth. The
gray's rider lashed him 10 greater speed. but
the bay would have o7ertaken them bad he
not stumbled and f6i!en when be Wa5 but O
few feet in tbe rear Tne bay quickly re-
gained his feet, but 1t was then too late.
The boy lad got the gray into the barp.
The infurlsted bay vas finally occurred and
locked In his stall, but he kicked and plung-
ed about for half az hour or more before his
fury was spent. The p!ucky boy was badly
bruised, but not seriously hurt. The gray
stallion was torn severely in the neck. The
bay escaped without scratch. The boys
mother remained unconscious for long
time, and is seriously Ill with nervous pros
tration.

APPLES WILL BE SCARCE.-This week g
New England Homestead says: Apples will
be scarcer and more costly this season than
for many year. There is but half crop
OF winter fruit in the famous Annapolis Val
ley, of Nova Scotia, and still greater re-
ductiou in the apple belt of Southern and
Western Ontario and Michigan along the
lakes. II Maine and limited sections of
Vermont and New Hampshire, there ia o
fair yield of apples, being the best in Maine
Throughout Southern New England, New
York, Peppsy vania. New Jersey and the
interior states generally. the promise of win
ter fruit Is worse than ever before known.
The apple belt of Western New York, along
Lakes Ontario and Erie, which 10 good sea-
SONS ships much more than one million bar
rels to New York or foreign markets, has
almost no crop whatever this year.
Eastern buyers are already gobbling it up
at good prices Summer and fall apples are
also short, and command good prices.
The Homestead thinks that choice west
ern fruit. like prime Baldwins. will rule at
81 to S. per barrel in Boston and New York
within three months. Four dollars has al
ready been bid for one lot in Addison county,
Vermont, and the exports OF apples from the
United States and Canada of the 1890 crop
will not be much over 100000 barrels.
againss 100000 barrels last year and 1 .OO0,-
600 In 1883.
Peaches are practical failure in South
ern Ontario and Michigan, as we'll as in the
Southern states and Connecticut.
Pears and plums yield unevenly, but are
far below en- average crop, and must COM
mand good prices.
Grapes, however are an immense crop,
save in sections of New Jersey and the
South, where the black-rot is playing havoc
with the fruit. The scarcity of other fruits
will sustain the market for grapes

but / think all except a few half
breeds and sore heads will fall into
line by the Sid of May and vote for
their choice. A number of candi>
dates have been among us and all
that we have seen said they were
willing to take their chances before
the primary, but we understand that
some ot-the candidates will not SUBJ

though L was one of the committee

EDITORS BULLETIN-Seeing you solicit
reports from different parts of the cou nty,
we will endeavor to give you few items
from the 10Th district, especially on our
educational progress. Two years ago we
decided we could establish good school
at the Ussery Springs, which is four miles
south of Pocahontas and right in the
southeast corner of Hardeman county.
Hence a few energetic citizens put their
shou lders to the wheel and erected good
school building and advertised for a nor
NAL teacher and secured the services OF
Prof. A. G. Freed. who is graduate of
the Southern Indiana Normal College, all
of which resulted in the beginning of the
first session Of the Southern Tennessee
Normal College, which began Sept. 10th,
1889. The session has been prosperous
one, enrolling seventy-two pupils, twenty
one of whom will graduate in the teach
ers course in June. The graduates have
been we'll trained in all the latest meth
DDS in normal teaching and we would SAL
here that if the people or school directors
of Hardeman need any teachers they will
do well to address the principal of the
Southern Tennessee Normal College.
Most of our teachers have schools for the
summer, but we have few that are not
yet engaged, who can be relied upon to
give satisfaction. We of the 18th dis
trict feel proud of our school and hope 10
make it such that old Hardeman may
feel proud The present session closes
Goth of June, and We would be pleased to
have the editors of the BULLETIN and
any others that are lovers of education to
lie with us at that time. Success to your
paper. Yours very respectfully,

And soon before my raptured sight glorious
vision rose:
L thought whilst slumbering on my couch in
midnight's solemn gloom,
1 heard an angels silFery voice, and radiance
filed my room.
gentle touch awakened me-a gentle whisper
"Arise, Osleeper, follow me-" and thro the air
we fled.
We left the earth SO far away that like speck it

And heavenly glory, calm and pure, across our
pathway streamed.
Still on we went-my soul was rapt in silent &C.

1 wondered what the end would be, what next
should meet mihe eye.
knew not hsw we journeyed thrO' the painless
When suddenly change was wrought, and was
clothed in white.
We stood before the citys walls most glorious to
behold,
We passed thro' gates of glistening pearl, Ger
streets Ofpurest gold;
1t needed not the sun by day, the silver moon
The glory Of the Lord there, the Lamb him
self its light.
Bright angels paced the shining streets, sweet
And white-robed saints with glittering crowns,
from every cline were there;
And some that had loved on earth stood with
them round the throne:
"All worthy is the Lamb they sang "the glory
his alone"
But fairer far than all beside, / saw my SaviOr's
face;
Aud as gazed he smiled on me with wondrous
love aad grace.

Had gained the object of my hopes; that earth at
length was past.
And then in solemn tones he said, "where is the

But that the clear and shining light which round

Should guide some other weary feet to my

And thus in blessing those around thou hadst thy

My spirit fell o'erwhelmed benea tn that Visions

dwelt below,
That yet another hour was mine, my faith by
works to show;
That yet some sinner might tell of Jesus dying
love,
And help some weary soul 10 seek home above.
And now, while on the earth stay, my motto
this shall be,
''To live no longer to myself, but him who died
