The school in the Cove District closed
last Friday after very profitable term OF
ten weeks taught by Mrs. Lydia Dean, who
is one of the best of teachers and one Of
much experience, having taught ffty-ive
terms of school. 1t is the unanimous wish
of both scholars and parents that she may
be employed in the Cove school many more
terms. A large number of parents and
friends assembled to listen to the CLOSING
exercises, which consisted of recitations,
dialogues, tableaux, songs and music. All
of the parts were well rendered and reflect
ed much credit upon the teacher and schol-
ars. The appreciation of the school work
during the term was voiced in the remarks
made at the close by Hudson C. Brown, one
of the school committee, and by Harvard
Elwell and others. The school was recently
presented with handsome new flag by
Will Young of Boston, to take the place OF
the old one which was getting quite worn,
and it was first hoisted Friday. The gift is
greatly appreciated, and many thanks are
extended to Mr.. Young.

Goehel Documents Burned.

CINCINNATI, O., Dec. 13.-By the burning of the store of Lowery & Goebel Arthur Goebel lost the papers relating to the death of his brother, William Goebel, and the trials of ex- Secretary of State Caleb Powers, James Howard, Henry Youtsey and others, who have been tried or indict- ed in Kentucky for the. tragedy at Frankfort almost two years ago. These papers included affidavits, con fessions and volumes of testimony. Since the death of his brother Arthur Goebel has given most of his time to securing evidence for the attorneys in the prosecution in these cases.

For many years suffered with severe sick headaches and general debility. Lost all ambition and went about my duties in an aimless manner. Had a tired, worn out feeling all the time, but before I had taken half bottle of 5. B. B., felt relieved and am now feeling like a new woman.
 Mrs. A. ". Ham, Cambridge, Me, says: II was in poor health for long time. Twas unable to be around or attend to my work, was troubled with constipation, neural gia and poor appetite, in fact, every trouble that attends rundown condition of the system, and have taken two bottles of Burdock Blood Bitters and the Pills. The first dose set the machinery of life to work, and can say never took any medicine that gave such immediate relief and set nc gaining, for which I am truly thankful.

 Tim Hegarty, the much talked of fighter from Australia, was given drubbing from one of cur American fighters in Oakland, California, last night that he will remember for some days. Hegarty came here with a car load of challenges for McGovern and all the other leaders in the fistic cir cle. Kid Lavigne has been q good fighter, but to-day he does not stand as one of the top notchers, yet he thumped the Australian out i'll four rounds and did it easily. Hegalty tried to force the fighting, but he was met with punches hard enough to make him vince and in the fourth round q left hook sent him to the floor. He got up before the count of ten and was again 1oored and this time he remained until counted out.

SUNDAYS IN OLD VIRGINIA.

There is an idea prevalent that the strict observance of the Sabbath was almost wholly confined to the north. Nothing could be more erroneous. The '.blue laws" of Connecticut, surviving as a proyerb for hardness, have inn pressed the popular mind and fixed an idea which was. however, not abso- lutely accurate. As severe as these enactments were, they were scarcely more rigorous, wherever the observ- ance of Sunday was concerned, than those under which the colony of Vir- ginia was established and developed. Attendance on divine service was as strictly enforced, and abstinence from all secular employment as rigidly en- joined. It was q church-going time Religion engrossed the energies of the people,. Participation in worship was the law, and whoever failed in it was a law breaker and was dealt with ac- cordingly. Later on. that is, prior to the revolution, came a certain laXnesS t-the reflex of the taut-strung bow when the foX-hunting, cock fighting parsons were inducted into the liyings; but as the causes were temporary. the main cause being the political appoint ment by an absentee metropolitan, so the effect was not permanent. It was out of these conditions that the Hano- yer presbytery sprang. under the intiu- ence of Patrick Henry's model, the elo- quent 'Parson Dayies," later the pres ident of Princeton college. Indeed, while some of the English parsons who have made the time notorious, were dicing and drinking, and fighting, the laity were standing stanchly for the old customs, and were making the sad ding upon them of such miscreants one of the charges in their indictment against the government "at home" They withstood innovation. They kept the faith. They built churches which still stand to-day as memorials of their piety and churchmanship. Thomas Nelson Page in Scribner's.

CAN SULLIVAN STAND TIP


 When McGovern and Sullivan enter the ring a very ,interesting question will be! settled. Sullivan has always insisted he could beat McGoyern. and this in face of the fact that the Brook lyn boy has defeated several men who have thrashed Sullivan. Sullivan, however, claims he knows McGov- ern's style of fighting very thoroughly and can defeat him with little trouble. The testing of his theory should prove very interesting. At the close of tie McGovern-C Corbett battle, Sullivan smiled gleefully and said: That's ax- actly the way in which I would whip McGovern." Sullivan may perform the feat, but the chances are he will not. It is questionable if another man in America could have taken the bon- bardment Young Corbett did on Thanksgiving day and then send in q knockout punch. Sullivan has always shown considerable ability to take pun ishment. Tn fact, he has always been a target, and win or lose has been bad ly pumme1ed. He has never faced a hitter of McGoyernss power, and the chances are good he will succumb early in the contest.

SOME ANTIQUE SLANG.

Many of the familiar phrases of tie day have been in use since remote an tiquity. A learned German philoTo- gist has recently traced number of these so-called phrases through half a dozen languages to their beginnings Here is partial list of them.
 Hes a brickr' This phrase, mean ing good fellow, has been traced to the king of Sparta, four centuries E.. c. A visitor to Lacedaemonia, the Spartan capital, was surprised to find the city without walls and asked the king what he would do in case of in- vasion. Sparta has 5O,O00 soldiers replied the king, "and each man is a brick''
 ITO give the cold shoulder."--It was once the custom in France when a guest had outstayed his welcome, to serve him with a cold shoulder of mutton instead of q hot roast as q gentle hint for him to go.
 '"To kick the bucket. t."-This phrase dates back to the time of Queen Eliz- abeth. A shoemaker named Flaw kins committed suicide by standing on bucket placed on table to raise raise himself to a convenient raftel. To kick the bucket was, of course, his last act on earth.
 Catching a r."-Durng the war between Russia and the Tartars a private soldier cried out, "Captain I have caught Tartarv' The cap tain ordered him to bring his prisoner forward. file won't let mei'' the soldier shouted back, and Investigation showed that the Tartar was holdins back his captor.
 'Apple-pie order.''-As certain Hep zibah Merton, in Puritan times, was in the habit of baking two or three dozen apple pies every Saturday which were. to last the family through the week. She placed them in the pantry labelling one for each day in the week. The pantry thus arranged was said to be in apple pie order.
 "A feather in ones cap.'-It was once custom in their wars with the Turks for the Hungarians to wear a feather in their caps for each Turk they had killed.
 "Blackguards.''- When the Horse Guards parade in St. James park. London, crowd of bootblacks always crowd about to black the boots and do other menial work. These attendants at the guard mount have long gone by the name of "black guards.''
 "Deadhead. ."-In Pompeii people w1lo gained admittance to an entertain ment without paying admission were called "deadheads" because tbc checks used for admission were small ivory deaths heads.- Montreal Star.
