A MYSTERIOUS WILD MAN.

Strange Adventure that BefelI Commits
sioner Butcher in San Jacino Bottom.
Commissioner j. c. Butcher who came
In from Harrisburg yesterday to attend a
meeting Of the commissioners court, was
engaged during the recess hours yester-
day in relating a strange adventure which
befcll Mr. c. h. Bering aud himself q
day or so ago while they were hunting
in San Jacinto bottom In their search
for game they penetrated deeper and
deeper into the recesses Of the wood and
In a spot where the foliage and the long
moss were so thick as tu, almost block
their passage, they came face to face with
wild man.
The strange creature of tho wood had
long name like hair falling far below his
shoulders and he shook mat IF II from Ia
front Of his eyes and glarcd ut the hunters
as If intent on dlsputing their right to the
wlds
The wild nan was clad principally in a
yard Of sunshine, which struggled through
rift In the trees, and dcyilsh smile of
defiance. Additional TO these the strange
creature was attircd in a brecch clout OF
leaves.
The hunters were so taken uback by the
unexpected presence and the uucouth APP
pearance of the stranger that before they
had time TO test the Conversational powers
OF the wild man he Widra away into the
dense forestry without more ado.

The first terms examinations are
now over, and while some have
come up to expectations others
have fallen far below what was cX-
pectcd OF them. We hope that
parents will remember that those
whose record IL not so good as ii
ought tD be need TO be stimulated
and encouraged Mt home as well rs
at school. On the other hand,
those who have done well need
also TO be encouraged in order that
they may put forth greater efforts
and hence do more and better work
In the future.
The greatest thing any school
can do for its pupils is to instill
within them profound respect for
virtue and morality and deep
seated hatred for vice and immor-
