THE ADVENTURE oE HowAD AND
Miss WooDs.-Last Monday after
noon Mr.. William Howard and Miss
Julia Woods, two members Of colored
society in Sherherdstown who, though
yet youthful, are not unknown, re-
called themselves with walk up the
railroad track. Mr.. Howard carried
a gun with him, and in a playful
manner remarked to Miss Woods
that he believed he would pepper her,
as a remembrance OF the occasion.
He pointed the gun at her, and to his
establishment and Miss Woods pain
ed surprise the gun went of, part Of
the charge wounding the lady 10 the
back. She turned as pale as the dusky
nature of her complexion would per-
nit, and then she set up g great howl
as she started on run for home, not
TO express sundry deroga-
tory remarks concerning Mr.Howard.
The wounds, we believe, are not re-
garded as serious, and Mr.. Howard
and his gun are still at large Register.

A Pretty Experiment.

A pretty and interesting experiment,
which may be new to some, is that by
which the growth of an oak plant can
be watched from its earliest stage
Cut circular piece of card to fit the
top of a hyacinth glass, SO as to rest
upon the ledge and exclude the air
Pierce a hole through the center of the
card and pass through ita strong thread,
having a small piece of wood tied to
one end, which, resting transversely on
the card, prevents its being drawn
through.
To the other end of the thread at
tach an acorn, and, having half filled
the glass with water, suspend the acorn
at short distance from the surface.
The glass must be kept in warm
room. In few days the steam which
has generated in the glass will hang
from the acorn in large drop. Soon
the acorn will burst, and the root will
protrude and thrust itself into the
water; in few days more stem will
shoot out at the other end, and rising
upward will press against the card, in
which hole must be made to allow it
to pass through.
From this stem small leaves will soon
sprout, and in the course of a few
weeks the experimenter will be reward
ed by baving a sturdy little oak plant
several inches in height. Youths Com

There would be more buttermilk sold
if people only knew the good qualities
of the drink. There is nothing in the
line of simple drinks which exercises a
more beneficial influence on the general
health. 1t is at once food and medi-
cine The Tactic acid it contains acts
on the whole digestive system, while as
food it has already undergone a semi
digestion in the churning to which it
has been subjected. Physicians are
every day increasing the amount of it
that they prescribe for their patients,
and in case of liver and kidney diseases
it is invaluable. Instances are numer-
GUS of persons afflicted with Bright's
disease living for many years in com
parative comfort with no other medi-
cine than daily supply of butternilk.

To be really good neighbor demands
the possession of many excellent quail
ties-tact, temper, discernment and
consideration for other peoples feelings;
and, if we possess all, or some of these
qualities, innumerable and never end
ing are the benefits we may confer on
each other, and a great deal of pleasure
will be the result. But because We are
neighbors we need not necessarily be
close friends We may be friendly
enough to enjoy the pleasure of doing
them little kindnesses and receiving the
same in return.
Being kindly disposed to all by no
means implies that our house is TO be
open from morning till night to visitors.

is at every ones beck and call, is likely

Fix this in your mind rs the guiding
principle of all right, practical labor,
and source of all heslthful life energy
that your art is TO be the praise of
something you love. 1t may be only
the praise of shell or a stone; it may
be the praise of hero; it may be the
praise of God. Your rank as a living
