Kicked Oyer a Wall.

As Thomas Marshall, a well known
citizen of Pittsburg, his wife and
two children were driving along the
Kingwood pike toward town a few
evenings ago, they undertook to pass
a man who was leading vicious
stallion when the latter attacked
their carriage savagely with his heels
and kicked the carriage with it's oc-
cupants and the horses off the road
and over stone wall six or eight
feet high. Fortunately the people
escaped with few bruises, but the
carriage was considerable damaged
and one of the horses hurt. We
learn that Mr.. Marshall has retained
counsel here and will bring an ac-
ton against the owner of the horse
for damages.

California VS.. MOrgantOwn.

The much talked of game between
the California, Pa, nine and the
Rough and Ready, of Morgantown,
was witnessed Friday by several hun
bred people. The Californians came
up on the steamer jolly Brothers ac-
companied by about $50 of their
friends and the brass band of that
place. Our boys had not played or
organized this season but when the
challenge came for the game they
were right in it. The game was
called at 1920 P. NJ. with the r. and
R. to bat and Jas. Gallaghey, of the
visitors, in the box. When the UNI
pire called let her go Gallagher! she
went, yes went all over the field and
it was plain that James was not
built for a calfskin twirler and the
poor boy died at the end of the in
ming with scores as monuments to
his vain endeavor to play ball The
visitors then took the stick and by
hard work and the rotten decision of
their umpire managed to get two
scores.
AS the visitors had drawn the R.
and r. into the game by saying in
their challenge, "You can get your
players from wherever you please as
we want a game and we play ball, "
their evident lack Of knowledge of
the National game displayed in this
inning made our boys feel sad and
the look of establishment on their
faces gave way to one of sincere pity
and they came together for few
minutes consultation and resolved to
let their guests down as easily as
possible so they tapped the next
twirler, Joe Gallagher, lightly and
by an effort succeeded in occasional
ly missing his balls and did not
tally till in the fifth when one of
them tried to get out but could not
and scored. After the first, the visi-
tors went out in one, two, three order
except in the third when one who
was hit by pitched ball was allow
ed to get to first. The 'Forinans may
be, as they claim, the crack nine of
Western Pennsylvania but when they
crossed the line that crack grew to
the dimensions of a roaring crater

The Fleming Re- Union at FairmOnt.
Fairmont West Virginia.

This big family gathering takes
place this week-Wednesday, Aug.
10th. 1t promises to be an extra
ordinary occasion. as relatives are
coming from Delaware, Ohio, Indi-
ana, Illinois, Florida and perhaps
other States. At the meeting in the
Court house here last Saturday a
resolution was passed inviting all
friends of the family to attend the
reunion after the hour of two o'clock,
in being thought best TO make it a
strictly family affair up to that
time. The reunion will take place
rain or shine. If the weather be
favorable it will be on the fair
grounds; if unfavorable, in Canton
Armory. We have no doubt the
occasion will be success in every
respect and be highly enjoyed by
the Fleming people. AS before
stated, one of the attractions in the
afternoon will be a game of base
ball to be played by the Flemings
exclusively. There will also be
other amusements.

MANY a Mickle
Makes a MuCkle. 7"

This old adage is applicable to all
phases of life. Never more so than
1t will be in our store during this
month of August. You go to every
department, and at every one of
them you save money. You save
fifty cents here and n dollar there,
and when you have finished, the
sum total of your savings makes a
very respectable showing.
You can buy your whole outfit
here, from shoes to millinery, and
if you buy during this month you
save money on verything you buy.
The reason? Why! it's the finish
of the season with us. There's still
two months of warm weather for
you, but we have to make room for
the coming fall goods.

STUDIES IN ETYMOLoGY.

LIZ
I. Uncouth. The original meaning of
uncouth is simply unknown; hence it
came to mean strange, odd, rough, rude.
Milton uses the word in its strict original
sense in the lines, "Mongst horrid
shapes, and shrieks, and sights unholy !
Find out some uncoub cell" Gray uses
it in its present Specification when he
speaks of "uncouth rhymes"
IL Fsl1o,u. Some say this comes from
an old word meaning to follow, hence a
companion. skeat, however, who is the
best authority, says it comes from two
Icelandic words, .ts, property, and lag,
laying together, 50 laying together Of
property" a parner in business. When
Paul says "certain lewd followers" he
probably means merely Certain ignorant
associates"
III. Humor. The first meaning of this
word is moisture, from the Latin verb
hun,ere, to be moist. It meant especially
the moistures o. fluids of the body. The
ancients supposed that the state of the
mind depended upon these fluids, and
hence they spoke of good humor, a bad
hun,or, melancholy humor, etc. We
use the word in the same way. "The
four Aumors, according to Galen, caused
the four temperaments of mind, viz:
Choleric, melancholy, plegmatic and
ssnguiue."
w. Fond. From an old verb meaning
to act foolishly, the verb itself coming
from noun meaning fool. The origi.
nal Specification, then, Of this word is
foolish, weak, doting. In such expires.
sions as, ~ am fond of sport" !" 81 am

of the original meaning, but of course
the word is often used without indicating
weakness or Stiffness.

New York, or Philadelphia, he will favor
reducing the number Of saloons by the
best means possible.
Every boy and every girl who comes
into the school room day by day knows
and feels that the teacher who firmly op.
poses intemperance is power for good
in the formation of character. The
teacher may not put temperance docu.
ments in the hands of the children, OF
even get them to sign the pledge; he
may be obliged to exercise the wisdom
of the serpent in many cases, for there
are keepers of gin mills on school boards,
but he has right to an opinion oD this
question and it will not be difficult to let
his pupils know where he stands.

We are glad to know that more atten-
tion is being given to music now than
ever before in the school room. 1t is
very pleasing to find that the children
take 30 much interest in singing. One
thing We would like to suggest is distinct
accent and articulation. It always wor-
ries us to hear those sing who so indis-
tinctly articulate that ne cannot under
stand word they say. We hear the
noise, but cannot get the sentiment.
This we often find in Church music, and
sometimes even among our most cults

learn to sing distinctly, and give US the
sentiment Of the words as well as the
harmony and melody Of Che sounds. s.

whereofI speak, as I am constantly

THE TEACHERS RELATION TO TEMPER
ANCE.

The teacher who does not take stand
in respect to the temperance question is
making great and grave mistake. Once
a man could come into a community
Ichabod. Crane like, with clean shirt or
two tied up in red bandana handker-
chief, to teach (?) the school for three or
four months, and steal away as unnoticed
as when he came. His opinions were not
asked or valued concerning any grave
questions of the day. 1t was only ex.
pected of him that he would see that the
boys "footed" up their column 'ght,
could say the multiplication tabl., spell
all the words OF the spelling book, give
the capitals of the States, the name of
the President and the Vice-President, 60
through with the tables, beginning 4
farthings make penny and ending with
12 months make a year, and be able to
read and toe line at the same time.
But the teacher of to-day is quite
another MANN most places. In many
cases he is a graduate of normal school,
where an extensive course of study has
been pursued, or he may hold certifi-
cate obtained by pursuing such a course
while teaching. The school term has
been heightened and he has embraced
teaching as his business for the entire
year, at least; be is under the supervis-
ion of County official; be attends
teachers institute; he is reader of
educational literature, owning at least
one book pertaining to education. And
besides this, he is looked up to BY the
school patrons as one who has culture
and refinement; it is beginning to be
felt by them that be is to; be held in es.
teem like the minister-not so much in
esteem, it is true, but he is classed with
the preacher.
Now it. devolves upon the preacher
that he be able to see what is right and
best for people to do or not to do. Here
is this great question of ahating intem.
perance, the deadly foe Of religion, mo.
rality, and education. The clergy have
taken their stand without reference to
denomination. Where does the teacher
stand? Every teacher should make up.
his mind that he must take a sland
against intemperance. The higher
man goes up the more his opinion is
sought The teacher has gone up during
the past fifteen years quite perceptibly,
and his opinion is worth something He
may wish not to take sides, but he must.
