Among the various discomforts entailed

which leads to many accidents. First and
most especially is the danger arising from
the ingestion of ices and cold drinks,
which so many people fly to directly they

OF the intensity OF the shock produced.

Virginia and Virginians was the theme
Of the boy orator. Washington, Henry.
and jefferson were the sword, tongue
and pen of the Revolution. Every Federal
convention, every Federal council had
been dominated by Virginians. The love
of Virginia for the Union was evidenced
by her free grant Of all the vast territory
she held west Of the Ohio rivera terri
tory won from the British by the valor
Of her arms The bones of Virginians
whi,ened every battlefield from Trenton
to Yorktown.
Mother Of States and statesmen, we
greet you with Teverent homage!
Sons of an illustrious mother, we well
come you to our hearts and homes!
Upon the conclusion Of this felicitous
speech the nerves Of the Blues were I'M
settled. Tears stood in many an eye, al
beit unused to the melting mood Cap
tain Patton responded in a speech that
might have been happier had It been
longer But he, too, was unnerved.' HIS
voice ouivered with an emotion too strong
TO be suppressed. Grasping the soft white
hand of the boy orator, and patting ca
ressingly the noble head, he exclaimed:
"My dear boy, one day you viii make
vour mark in the world" Some VINO
heard this thought the heart stlll SPOKE
and not the head: but the prophecy was
subsequently verified by career when
placed Daniel Daugherty-for that was
the bows name-in the front rank OF
American orators. - ii. W

The wisdom of the authorities in put

has been exemplified in a marked degree.
The continuous drought has seriously
affected our streams, and many springs
have gone entirely dry. Some of our
farmers are hauling water for house,
hold purposes and driving their stock TO
neiehboring streams. Were the institute
dependent on its old water supply, serious
trouble would be experienced Just
at the opening OF the session. AS 1T Is,
the spring recently purchased supplies

no visible diminution in the supply.

PoUGHKEEPsIE, Aug. 3o.-Frederick Dennis,
90 years OF age, a printer, employed by J. Wat

fluid. Suddenly the benzine !gnited. and Den
mis- in hir alarm overturned the plate and the
blazing LIQUID saturated his clothing from his
shoulders TO his waist. As the fire ate into his
flesh he screamed in agony and ran into the
faucets.
Mr.. Vail heard the shricks and ran into the
printing room just as Dennis hurried by him, q
living torch in appearance. with fire envclOping
the whole upper half OF his person. Dennis
only stopped In the dark room o second and then
