The children at the Oakfield Acad-
envy went out to the cemetery, Tues

would be in good shape for Decoration

and strewing flowers over ones which
sleep here, never to wake till the
dawn Of another brighter and better
world.

came down and frightened the team,
which started to run but were stopped
before they had gone a great distance
and when an inventory of the break
ages were made, nothing was found to
be broken but the tongue. One Of
their number went to a neighboriDg
farm house and borrowed a tongue,

ceeded on their way homeward. They
were indeed fortunate that no one was
injured. The following are the names
