Graded School Exhibition.

The Graded School of this place closed
on Monday, and at night the scholars
gave an entertainment assisted by several
ladies and gentlemen, in Twins Opera
Hall, that was greatly enjoyed by a
crowded audience. The singing by quar-
tett composed of Misses Leila Rlddleberger
and Mary Supinger, and Chas. W. Fravel
aud NJ. II. Hotel, was one of tie most
pleasant features of the evening The
hoop drill by twenty or more young girls
uniformed IN white was novel and enter
tanning, the young performers going
through all the movements with precis-
ion that tie most thoroughly trained SOL
dlers could not surpass. 1t is impossible
for us in our limited space to give the en-
tire program. We can only say that the
whole affair was most creditable to all
who had part in it. The music of Skaters
Orchestra added much to the pleasure of
the evening.
We regret to say that the illmannered
behavior of lot of boys in the audience
was such as to greatly mar the enjoyment
of the occasion, and to such an extent as
to call for the severest punishment. This
display of down right rufianism has be-
come the rule in this place at almost every
public affair, and why our authorities al
low it is strange to say the least. We feel
sure that we voice the sentiment of almost
every man and woman in the community
when we ask our Mayor TO see that such
conduct is not repeated. 1t has become
not only an annoyance but an insult
to every decent person, that a hand
ful of I'll manered boys should thus be
allowed to ride rough shod over an au-
dlence of ladies and gentlemen. We hope
it will be no longer tolerated.

SAUMsyILLE. May Slst, 1892.

Mr.. EpIToR:-
We will once more ask you
for little space in your much appreciated
columns in which to make defence 10
behalf of the Saumsvllle and Mt. Olive
Matrimonial Society. against Quail Quill
of Fishers Hill. This Society was or
ganized with the best motives, liberal
offers, the best officers end above all the
best giIls that are in the market. The
most intelligent ladies and gentlemen ap-
prove of it, The ministry, lawyers, states-
mea and IN fact all our best people ap-
prove it then why should an old bach
from Fishers Hill try to raise an insured
ton and criticise the Society and try to
impede the progress of an enterprise that
has been conceded on all sides to be one
of the live boOms Of the Sonth.
Nothing more or less afflcts this dele
gate from Fishers Hill than his first hav-
Ing been debarred from Office in the So
ciety and later from the privilege Of mem
bership.
We now have him where the dogs 20 II
bite him ald he can remain there until
Gabnl blows his horn. He seems to give
himself the credit of getting the drop on
the so called TreasureI's girl" 1t is such
very rare occasion when Quail Quill has
the pleasure of calling on any lady that
we don't consider it a bit prescriptions or
conceited in him to advertise it in the
papers. If any other lady will be so
generous as to allow this Quail Quill to
call on them no doubt they will get puff
I'm the Sun or New York UOrd. We feel
assured that if he had the conceit and
kinks taken out of him that gnat could
lny away with the remains. Quail Quil
also alndes 10 the Treasurer being equip
ped for a sonr grape voyage. We have nc
doubt that Quail himself has made thu
voyage and gone up Salt River so often
that be sncaks from experience. We are
glad indeed for the admonition he hai
given us, for there IS no truer saying OF
one more worthy Of acceptance, than that
San ounce Of prevention is worth sixteer
ounces of cure" We bad thought that al
Qnall Quill was so thoroughly bottled NJ
and fermented that be had become sweet
by this time, but as he sQueals the Shot
must pinch him somewhere.
We will say 10 cOnconlusi that If Quai
Quill waits for any further development
on this subject he will get left. We don
propose TO answer the assaults of one in
ldvidual, and hereafter will treat all sucl
attacks with silence. We do not considt
the question of general interest to th
public and therefore we bid Quail Qlill
hearty farewell. All we have said wa
for innocent finn but should the matte
continue some enmity might grow ont o

about normal. The rainfall has been gen.
orally about the normal for the season,
except in the southeastern counties, and
along the coast, where the rainfall has
been from two to three inches, the great
er part of which occurred on Saturday
and Sunday. Wheat and oats are gener-
ally reported to be in fair condition.
Corn has made poor stand in the north
ern sections, and requires much replant-
ing. Peanuts have badly rotted IN the
ground and will require much replantng.
Tobacco plants are IN good condition, and
plant setting Is IN progress under favora-
BILE conditions. Tie following places show
reports as to the rainfall during the past

Death of Mrs. Joseph Fravel.

One of the saddest deaths that has ever
occurred in this community was that of
Mrs. Joseph Fravel who quietly passed to
her eternal rest on Wednesday morning
about o'clock, after many months OF
suffering from consumption. This esti-
Unable lady was a daughter OF the late
John J. Hotel, a we'll known citizen who
resided on the river near this place, and
was born January 1st, 1S47. She was
truly a good woman, and large circle OF
friends will sadly deplore her untimely
death. But 1t IS in the immediate home
circle that this afflicton will be felt with
the keenest sorrow, aud where her be-
reaved husband and eleven ehldreb, will
long mourn the 'rosj of devoted wife and
faithful, loving mother. Mrs. Frayel was
Tor many years a most worthy member OF
re Reformed church, and throughout her
SICK ness she was richly comforted by heI
| ,,.slaken faith in the promises Of her re-
hgion. The funeral took place at
o'clock en- Thursday afternoon. and was
conducted by her pastor, Rev. A. X
Kline.

The Truth in a Nutshell.

They have Lantz behind the bars in
HarrisOnburg for horse stealing. The
hOrse-thief is gathered in every time
When will people learn that it IS more
risky to steal pin than to gather IN the
earnings of a whole COMMUNICATIONS
dOah Press.
The foregoing IS and has been our senti-
ments for quite a while. The thousands
of dollars that have been filched from the
people of this county, was nothing but
stealing, and yet, they were let go scot
free, but the small thief gets his just de-
serts. This is not fair the robbers of In.
dustry are thieves and are courted and
rawned upon. Away with such hypocracy'
-BrO0d'cay Enterprise.
Just what the HERALD has always
maintained. The eminently respectable
gentlemen reach out and steal the earr-
ings of an entire section. Take the last
dollar of the honest toiler, the widow and
the orphan, and when they are brought
up in court Shey secure the services OF a
lot of sharp attorneys who are paid liber-
ally from the stolen money, and through
their aid and the solemn, ass-like wisdom
of hair-splitling Judge, they 60 off scot
free to enjoy their ill-gotten gains. And
then society comes into play her contempt
ible part by bowling down before the
golden calf as represented in the persons
and frowniug upon those who have been
the prey OF the spoiler

New Merry-go-Round.

The great center of attraction for the
young folks and many of tbs old ones, of
Woodstock, is the new merry-go-ronnd.
on the common, near the depot. This
finely equipped riding apparatus was re-
Gently purchased by Messrs. Tyler Sager
and Samuel Bird, and is in every respect
an elegantly arranged affair, much SUI
lperior to the one that afforded so much
amusement to the children and young
people generally last summer. The horses
which are handsome and life like are equip
ped with comfortably padded saddles,
stirrups, brides, &c, while the carriages
are nicely painted and cushioned. The
inner side of the circle is surrounded with
large oil paintings which with the gor'
eeous plumes of the horses and the many
waving flags of all kinds and colors, and
the organ that keeps up a succession o.
lively airs makes up show that knocks
the ordinary circus into the middle of mex
year. If you want to spend an enjoyable
evening visit the new merry -go-round ant
take few exhilerating rides under th'
waving canvass.
