Death of Mercersburg Hotel Man.
AS the result of second stroke

Death of Mercersburg Hotel Man.
AS the result of a second stroke
of paralysis George Lackhove, the
well known hotel keeper at Mer-
cersburg, died Sunday afternoon
about 1:30 o'clock. His death
was a great surprise to his many
friends, who believed that he was
on fair way to recovery. The
second stroke affected his entire
left side and he lapsed into un-
consciousness and remained in
that condition until his death.
Mr.. Lackhove was suddenly
stricken with paralysis about
three weeks ago at his home and
his condition for a time was crit
ical, but he soon began to i'm
prove. Sunday he was able to
sit up and a mum Der of his friends
called to see him and it was while
conversing with his family that
he fell a victim to a second stroke.
Mr.. Lackhove was born and
reared in Mercersburg and was
a son of the late Leonard Lack
hove, at one time a prominent cit.
izen of Mercersburg. About sew
en- years ago Mr.. Lackhove be-
came proprietor of the McAfee
hotel in Mercersburg, and was
widely known as an obliging and
successful hotel keeper. He was
a brother-in-law of Landlord
Funk of the Cooper House, and
of j. Frank Sheely of the Repub-
lican office, both of this place.

Institute Notes.

The attendance of teachers al
the institute this week, and the
interest they manifest in the
work in hand is commendable, in
deed. 1t is a pleasure for the
McConnellsburg people to have
with them, week each year, the
custodians of the educational in
terests of the county; and the
genteel appearance of the teach
ers, and their courteous orderly
bearing, show them to be body
of people of which any county
might be proud.
Of the eighty-th teachers in
the county, eighty-two are pres
ent-Miss Bottonfield of Union
being absent-and her absence is,
doubtless, not voluntary on her
part.
There are almost twice as many
male teachers as females, there
being "a of the former to 80 of
the latter. Taylor with 8 schools,
and Tod with 5, employ all male
tt achers. Bethel has the largest
proportion of female teachers,
there being 5, to 2 males. Twen-
ty-six of the eighty-thl ee teach
ers are teaching their first term.
In contrast with this, is M. M.
Horton, of Wells, whose work
covers a period of A years, and
Mr.. Ready, of the same town
ship has had like long exper-
ience-part of the time as presi-
dent of a college. r. r. Sipe, of
Licking Creek, is teaching his
26th consecutive year in his home
township; L. H. While, of McCon-
nellsburg, has been teaching 19
years; E. E. Kell, of Dublin, 16
years, and W. G. Wink of Taylor,
Is years.
A portion of the time each day
is spent in a teachers confer
ence;" and the readiness and abil.
ity with which the teachers dis.
cuss the various practical sub.
jects relative to their work, is
very gratifying.
The instructors are able, and
their work much appreciated by
all who hear them.

The Star Shower.

The star shower, or fall of leon
ids, which was billed for last
Thursday and Friday night, came
off in fine shape. Owing to the
cloudy weather, it was not obser.
vable here; but in many parts of
the country, the spectacle was
fine. AS this phenomenon occurs
at intervals of thirty-four years
and one day, it is not in the range
of human probability that many
persons now living will witness
the next one, which will occur
November 16, 1885. A few per-
sons are living who remem Der
the display of November 13, 1888,
and, of course, more, who saw it
November IA, 1867. The condi-
tions were very favorable in Cali
fornia, and dispatch from Los
Angeles says:
''The fall of 'leonids was quite
marked in this city just before
daylight. The display was at one
time brilliant but there was a
steady fall of the brilliants after
l o'clock. One watcher counted
3S5 between and 5 o'clock, while
the total number seen in this city
is estimated at 1000. Some of
the meteors were very beautiful.
One hundred meteors were count.
ed between 400 and 4. 20 o'clock. ("

Plenty OF Arm Motion.

Have our readers ever stopped
to consider how often printer
moves his arm during an ordina.
ry days work? We know some OF
you have not, so we'll tell you.
An ordinary days work for a
printer is about 10000 ems OF
type, or, in palmer words, the
compositor picks up, including
spaces, $4,000 pieces of type.
Besides the type, he picks up a
lead to put between each line of
type, making a, total of about GOO
leads he handles in a day. This
makes a total of 19,600 pieces
handled, or $4,000 motions of the
right arm for days work. Do
you doubt it is tiresome? If so,
try it and tell us how it feels.
Surprising it is but few printers
suffer of paralysis.
