month, according to the degree of his dis
ability for the performance Of labor requir-
ing the eEertion Of physical strength /;
provided the disability is not due to Vici-
GUS habits. This pension is not restricted
to the veterans who have to make their
living by hard labor, but is equally due to
professional men or clerks, provided they

prevent the continuous exercise Of the
physical strength Of an able-bodied man.

eral laws and who are unable to prove up
the pending claim can apply for and Sc
cure this pension and then continue the
prosecution Of the former claim and secure

MISS LIMBUReRR's RESIGNATION AND HER
SUCCESSOR.

MISS LIMBUReRR's RESIGNATION AND HER
SUCCESSOR.
Miss Anna X. Limberger who has dur
ing the past year and half had charge of
the advance grade OF Model School, has
resigned her position, and will go early in
January as a missionary to Mexico. Her
parents live in Danville, Pa, and she is
their only daughter. She has felt since
she was little girl an inclination to be a
missionary.
Miss Limburger has been very faithful,
efficient, and successful teacher, and she
leaves host of warm friends among her
fellow teachers and her pupils. Her
christian influence will be greatly missed
in the school, as she was always among
the foremost in every good work.
Miss Limburger's successor will be Miss
Melissa s. Perley of East Berkshire, Vt.
1t is the desire of the trustees to keep up,
and, il possible, advance the high standard
of excellence attained by our model school,
accordingly, as soon as it was known that
Miss Limberger would leave, diligeni
search was made for a teacher Of wide and
successful experience, and one who hat
been especially trained for the work. 1t il
believed that the school and the pat
rons OF the town are to be congratulated
on having secured Miss Perley. She is {
graduate of the Oswego, On. Y.,) Stat,
Normal School, was for twelve years crii
teacher in the Dayton, Ohio, Norma
School. She resigned her position ther
two years ago for the purpose of resting
and pursuing her studies further. Pre-
vious to her Normal School experience sh
had experience ia both ungrsded ant
graded schools, from the primary t. tn,
high.school. She comes highly recon
mended by DR.. Sheldon, Principal of the
oswego Normal School, by her former EN-
ployers, aud by other prominent educa
tors who know her. 1t would be Difficult

Will you please publish in Your paper
the law concerning hunters. am annoy
ed very much by hunters running over my
fields, and want to know IL there is no
way to stop it. FARMER.
The law for hunters is the same as for
anybody else. ANY person who wilfully
enters through or over any field, orchard,
garden or yard fence, or who shall trample
or in suywise iuiure any grain, grass,
vines or other growing, crop is subject to a
penalty Of not less Than five, DOR more than
fifty dollars, for each offcnse. The Offend
er can be arrested on a warrant issued by
any justice of the peace, who has mower to
hear the case and impose the penalty. One
half the fine goes to the party injured, and
the other half to the school fund of the dis
trict in which the trespass was committed.
The law does not require any sign boards
notifying hunters to keep off, though it is
best to have them.
