HE CARRIED THE SAMPLES.

A certain York county preacher for
a long time had been dosing himself
with a fiery concoction prescribed for
some stomach trouble. One day while
dining at hotel he treated himself,
as usual, to the regulation heroic dose.
An inquisitive Boston drummer on his
right hand inquired the reason for TAX
Ing the medicine. The preacher ex-
planned his stomach difficulty, and the
benefits of his treatment, and the
drummer, who was himself subject to
indigestion, then related his own
symptoms and politely requested the
privilege of trying the remedy. The
sympathetic preacher freely gave him
a very generous dose, which speedily
took effect.
AS soon as the travelling man recov-
cred his breath and wiped his tears
he thus accosted the minister:
Il understand that you are
preacher?"
Il am, sir"
do you preach hell-fire?"
Il do, sir
well, you are the first preacher
that l ever saw who carried round
samples of it. "-Boston Herald.

Selecting Teachers.

The various boards of school trustees
are expected to meet in their respec-
tive districts next Saturday for the
purpose of organization for the ensu-
ing school year. The school year COM
mences on the first of July. At the
first meeting the trustees are required
to organize by the election of clerk.
1t is the only meeting that gives them
the opportunity; as, if they fail to
meet or neglect to select a clerk, tha
duty then devolves upon the school
superintendent. 1t is also customary
for the teachers of the ensuing school
year to be selected at the July meet
ing. This is not compulsory. They
can do this at the first or any subse-
quent meeting. 1t is probable, how
ever, that most of the teachers will be
appointed at the coming meeting.

MINING NOTES.

Wildman-A cleanup of the test
run on ore from this mine was made
a few days ago. According to reports
which have leaked out the yield was
very satisfactory, leaving good
margin of profit over all working
expenses. This outcome ought to
materially aid in the disposal of the
mine, or at least in getting the pro-
perty started on permanent basis.
Gold Top-The cleanup of this
gravel claim at Pine Grove is nearly
finished. 1t bids fair to be sufficient
to pay all outstanding claims at least.
Bunker Hill-The cleanup at this
mill fell little behind the unusually
good yield of the. previous month,
still it was highly satisfactory,
amounting, we are informed, to
between s12, 900 and S13, 900 for the 20
stamps. The pressing need of the
company is "a new hoist of greater
capacity, and the directors are taking
preparatory steps to that end. The
present hoist has answered for the
depth of 1900 feet, to which the mine
has been prospected, but to explore
the property to greater depth will
involve more powerful hoist.
