An energetic young teacher in a
country school has made a sugges-
ton which will doubtless be taken
advantage of. She wants every
child to make histor" of the war
by pasting into scrap book what
ever newspaper anecdote or account
of battle that is authentic and in
teresting. The pages are to be
illuminated by picturesand portraits,
and, ofcourse, one ofthe many views
of the fated Maine will form a
frontispiece. Such a book will have
untold value in the future, and may
now be prepared without expense
or trouble.
A miraculous escape happened
to Il child between 2 and 3 years of
age, a son of Washington Roush,
Washington township, on Monday
afternoon. The covering over n
well not being properly adjusted,
the child fell through, dropping a
distance of twenty-five feet striking
the water. Its disappearance VS.
noticed and a ladder was placed in
the we'll, when a boy descended and
found the child floating on the wat
| Ell on its back. When brought to
the surface it was unconscious and
had turned black. Proper remedies
were used when the little one soon
became conscious, and upon eXami-
nation it was found that the child
had not received even Il single
bruise.-Comier.
The Mitilinburg Telegraph OF last
week says Mr.. j. j. Steininger of
Hartleton was in town one day last

stalk of rye seven feet and ten and Il
half inches in length. The signifi-
canoe of all this is apparent. lie
is an old soldier, served in the war
for the Union, is commanderof John
c. Schnure Post, Grand Army Of
the Republic, and is Noteworthy
patriotic, whether in dealing out
medicine to cure the ilI and reinvig-
crate the age, or in cultivating
products for the aommisarit depart
rnent Of the volunteer invading
army of Cuba. Evidently, fromall
this we inferhe desires us to use that
stalwart stalk OF rye for a flag pole.
Comrade, from the depths Ola CRATE
full heart we thank you.
