nChlldren's DAY."

The services of "children's day" has
become an established thing in most OF
the Sabbath schools of this place, and
each annual celebration seems to increase
the general interest felt in them.
On Sunday of last week the Reformed
Sunday school held their annual celebra-
ton of the day, large congregation fol-
lowing with much interest the cred table
manner in which the children acquitted
themselves under the careful management
of Mr.. w. H. Bargelt. The remarks Of
Rev. Kline were very suitable to the &C.
casion, aud his words of instruction will
doubtless bear good fruit.
On Sunday the children of the Metho-
dist Sunday school celebrated their an
nual day. Quite extensive preparations
had been made for the OCCASION, and the
pulpit was beautifully decorated with
flowers. The singing was excellent and
was much enjoyed, as was, in fact, the
entire program. The address by'thc pas
tor Rev. Mr.. Stump, was very appropriate
and could be understood and appreciated
by the youngest scholars.
The Presbyterian school also held their
services the same day, and like the other'
was an hour of pleasure and instruction
to the young and old alike, full con-
gregatlon being present. The address
OF Rev. Mr.. Henderlite was very good
and held the careful attention of ever,
one in the audience.

binder and while on the doubletrees the
horses became frightened and started TO
run. After gong some distance Yates
was thrown under the machine, the large
driving wheel passing over his body,
breaking four ribs and badly bruisiDg
him. 1t is feared that he may have re-
ceived some serious internal injuries as
he is suffering great pam.
About the same time, and only about a
mile distant from the scene of the above
accident. young Sid. HOlsinger, an init
mate friend of Yates, and of the same
age, met with a shocking death. He was
employed at saw mill, and had gone
down into the saw pit to put on band
that runs the saw dust drag, and which
had slipped from the pulley. Mono Of the
other hands knew that he was in the pit
until they heard his cries for help, when
the mill was at once stopped and it was
found that the unfortunate young man
had been caught by the saw and his leg
split and mangled from the ankle to the
hip. Drs. Miller and Hehkel were sent
for and arrived as soon as possible but
the young man was beyond human help
and died in few hours from the SHOCK
and loss of blood.
