Formerly Bcarss Marsh and Saranac.
The first annual exhibition of the new
school district number seven was given
Friday afternoon June 18th. The
cornet solos and accompaniment by
Mr.. Daniel Rein added much to the
enjoyment of the occasion. Besides the
parents and others interested there were
present, from the upper district Mr..
and Mrs. A. Z. Bennett, Mr.. Clinton,
Miss Griffith and scholars of the
Bennett District. The performance was
very credItable to both teacher
Miss Harriet f. Whittlesey and pupils.
After the intellectual feast seasonable
refreshments were served. The perfect
weather and interest felt by all
in attendance will mark it as a red
letter day in the educational annals of
Cranmoor.

Refractory Royal Patient,

King Humbert's delight in the mos,
fatiguing exercises and his absolute dis.
regard as to the weather which he never
allows to interfere with any plans that
he may have made, give his doctors
some anxiety. There is good story
of the late DR.. Saglione, who died
quite recently, and in whom the king
has lost a most devoted servant and
friend. Saglione rarely left his royal
masters side, whether the king was
chasing chamois in the SHOWS of the
Alps, hunting wild boar at Castel Flu.
sano or during the great and firing re.
views on the plains of Lombardy. A
chronic cough that the king had con.
tracted owing to constant exposure tc
all kinds of weather drove Saglione tc
despair, for his majesty absolutely re.
fused to take any remedies. One even.
ing the king seemed inclined to follow
his doctors advice, however, and Sagli-
one accordingly sent to his room some
powders to be taken during the night
Early the next morning he went to in.
quire after his patient. The king told
him he was much better; I might al
most say quite we'll" "Your majesty
now believes in my powders,' Saglione
said, triumphantly. Excellent" re-
piled the king, laughing; "just go and
look in my room" There Saglione
found his powders in the waste basket,
where they had been thrown untouched.

A Portable Church.

A portable church was shipped to ia
maica on the British steamship Barn
stable, which cleared the custom house
a few days ago for Port Antonio. 1t was
built of wood, put together here, to
make sure that the parts were right,
then taken down and slowed in sections
in the hold of the Barnstable. This yes
sci, a fast cruiser, trades between Phil
adelphia and the West Indies. Down in
Jamaica churches are few in the in
terror of the island, where the fruit
grows, and the Americans, who do the
greater part of the export fruit trade,
decided to build church which could
be moved about as they deem proper to
the places where the most good could be
done with it. An American mechanic
designed the edifce, and with it goes a
bell to summon the worshipers. Books
and complete outfit of furniture &C.
companied the church.-Philadelp

ment into this section of Wisconsin

The negro race has genuine interest
in this country-in the south. 1t is his
home, and he is going to remain in the
south. He is not here TO grab a few
dollars and return to some foreign
country. Then the negro, when treat
ed right, can be trusted when made to
feel that confidence is put in him. Dur
ing our late war no southern or north
ern soldier who confided in the negro
was betrayed. Even where an indiyid-
ual negro is inclined to be dishonest on
general principles, when valuables are
entrusted to him he will not betray the
trust except in rare instances. The
negro is used to the climate and the
soil of the south, and he is at his best
when cultivating this soil. If he is
treated fairly, paid good wages and is
paid promptly, there is no farm laborer
in this country that will excel him.

Gone to War.

Recruiting officer. Maj. Gruetz-
macher, assisted by Capt. Spencer
and DR.. Wahle, examined at Marsh
field on Wednesday and mustered into
United States service twenty-four
young unmarried men to fill out the
quota of 106 soldiers for Company A,
Second regiment. Thirty-tive appli-
cantS were enrolled and five were
rejected by the physician. Tuesday
morning three Centralia boys-Arthur
J. Houston, Fred Bramstedt and
Guile Smart went up to Marshtield to
enlist, followed Wednesday morning
by Earl Ridgman. Three were ac-
cepted, Guile Smart failing to pass
examination on account of weak eyes.
The others were declared sound as a
bullet and left Marshfield over the
Central r. r. last night bound for
camp at Chickamauga Park. Houston
and Bramstedt, it is reported, were
the two finest physically developed
men in the entire party. Company
A, Second regiment now includes five
twin city boys, Chas. Laramie having
gone out with them from Marshtield
and Chas. Podawiltz having joined
them in Milwaukee. The two latter
will probably give the three recruits a
warm welcome when they arrive at
the southern camp. All will be on
hand to celebrate a memorable Fourth
of July in manner which they will
probably have reason never to forget.
Smart is sorely disappointed at his
failure to enlist.
Chas. Laufer, Jr.. brother of Lieut..
Geo. Laufer of the twin city company,
went to WinOna this week and there
enlisted in the Minnesota guards and
was sent to Chickamauga Wednesday
night in a detachment of thirty-four
recruits. The boys were bound to get
a sumptuOus treat of bareback and
beans, They will get it.

A man who went away from home
some time ago to attend a convention
of church people was struck with the
beauty of the little town in which the
gathering was held. He had plenty of
time, and while wandering about en-
tered the village cemetery. 1t was a
beautiful place, and the delegate walked
around among the graves. He saw
monument, one of the largest in the
cemetery, and read with surprise the
inscription on it: "a Lawyer and an
Honest Man" The delegate scratched
his head and looked at the monument
and examined the grave closely. An
other man in the cemetery approached
and asked him: 'Have you found the
grave of an old friend?" mo" said
the delegate, Il was wondering how
they came to bury these two fellows in
one grave. "-Exchange.
