BICYCLE FOR WARFARE.
Soldiers Can Load and Fire from II
Without Leaving the
saddle.

A Columbus G0.) inventor. III. II.
Heyl, has patented Il bicycle which will
be offered 20 the war department for
use in the field. The principal feature
in the new wheel is that II is made with
a low frame and an easily movable
seat post. The seat can he raised or
lowered by twisting The handle bars.
The idea is that t.le soldier can bring
his wheel TO a stop. ana by lowering
the seat place both feet on the ground
without leaving the saddle. He can
then fire and load at will ard when
ready to start out again the seat is
raised by the handle bars. A move
ment is on foot to start a stock com
pany in Columbus for the manufacture
of the new wheel.

Harvest Home Social.

Utica, Oct. D, 1885, The ladies
of Utica decline to be behind thu
times i'm inaugurating something for
the benefit and welefare of Christi
anity.
In making manifest that desire On
the 30th ult., the constituents of the
aid society of this place gave the first
of a series of social suppers. The
idea was to bring those together
who feel an interest in church work,
n also to give a reception to our
new pastor, Rev. Rhoades, formerly
of Nebraska. The meeting was en-
thusiastic, all being glad to shake
the hand of the new brother, as well
as to renew old fellowship with
those we knew in the days Of "Auld
Lang Syne." Mr.. Rhoades, if we do
not mistake, will meet the most
sanguine expectation, and fulfill W hat
the people of Utica have long desired,
a real live resident minister. The
brother is not OF six-foot mould, but
like all great leaders and men of
'ti = 10 Siiotp ~taNNhut u III q
finely chiseled contour, with u
decisive bearing, and also of a hope
full n sanguine exterior; we feel
that to him we nay look forward
as being the right man in the right
place. We wish further i'm our intro
duction, to remark, by what we saw
of his storage displacement, at the
supper, his stomach, whatever may
be said of his heart, is in the right
place.
The dainty and beautiful
in which the supper was given, is a
credit and could but please the most
fastidious epicure. The menu con-
sisting of roast yellow legged
chicken" meats of all and and every
tasteful variety, salads, baked beans,
oysters, ETC., pies, cakes. tarts, bon
bons, toe numerous, and a detailed
account would be wearisome, But
to those who were in attendance the
writer considering himself supremacy
blessed, felt not weary i'm well-doing,
and each and all could bear testi-
mony with their hands upon their
stomach. How good it is to be in
the service of the Lord"
There was a decided evidence of
good fellowship throughout the
evening, only n or two headaches
and a marked absence of sourness i'm
general.
After he supper was partaken OF
and az a digestive feature for n few
minutes, a short literary program
was given, the chairman, Rev.
Rhoades, leading with IA few pre-
liminary remarks on "Friendship,',
being considered "A very appropriate
subject and listened to attentively
by all. Space will not permit a
notice of each performer, suffice to
say that each responded with due

Teachers Institute

The annual institute session of the
teachers of thecounty was concluded
Friday last, the five days being
marked with interesting discussions
of all educational topics. Several
very excellent papers were cad. one
of which, that of Miss Fleming was
considered of SO much worth that h

which. however, our limited space
will not permit. The evening ses-
sions were well attended and greatly
enjoyed.
The following resolutions were
adopted:
Whereas, We, the teachers of Fergus
county, assembled in annual institute to
the end that we may be instructed by
some of the ablest in the profession, who
have set their standard by the highest
known, and SO get in touch with the
spirit of true advancement in our i'm.
portant work, n
Whereas, Our county superinterdent's
carefully and well-arranged program
and the practical and thorough work of
our instructors have been so inspiring
and helpful, therefore be it
Resolved:

tend our heartfelt thanks.

Fl. A. Moulton, b. F. Gordon and G. S.
Hoisington, to Miss PEBBLES, Miss Main,
Miss Flemming and Mrs. Garrett for the
valuable assistance rendered on the vari.
Gus subjects presented by them.
That to Misses Lindsey and Luton, for
the untiring and efficient manner in
which they have discharged the duties
of secretaries, we tender our sincere
thanks.
Wherein, The people of Lewistown
have recognized the importance of the
institute and have shown their interest
in education by providing most delight
full concerts for our entertainment, it is
fitting and proper that we take notice
thereof and extend to them our thanks,
and particularly to those who have SO
cheerfully given their time and talent
for our pleasure.
TO PROF. PARRENT-SPECIAL
The long and efficient services of
Prof. Parent as teacher and superin-
tendent in Fergus county, and the most
obIiging and impartial manner in which
he has performed his duty, has won the
highest respect and commentator from
his tel~low-teachers; and his contem-
plated withdrawal from our ranks pro-
duces universal regret. Therefore,
Be it resolved, That we express to him
our feeling by a resolution of thanks for
his diligent performance of duty, and a
regret at his contemplated withdrawal,
and a wish for his welfare in whatever
field of labor he may engage.
Respectfully submitted.
