CLINTON.
June Sth.-Orchard inspectors,
Messrs. Nuttnberger and Bullock,
gave a demonstration of the method
of planting, trimming and spraying
apple trees last Thursday morning,
in the Curtis orchard. in which the
State has taken one acre to care
for as an object lesson or school for
the orchardists of Wayne county
and vicinity. They are spraying
the acre to-day for the codling
moth. The orchard is conveniently
located on the north and south
Forest City. The large orchard
has always been considered a profit
able one, under old methods. 1t
would be well for all fruit growers
to take the time and inspect the
acre from year to year, as Wayne
county apples are said to possess
an extra fine flavor. Mr.. Nutten-
berger also gave q talk on the in
sects and fungus growths Of all
fruit trees in Moosic Grange hall.

Jurymen Pnid the Vine.

A Texas correspondent tells Law
Notes" how an obstinate juryman
was circumvented by his fellow
judges of the facts. The offence
charged was assault with intent to
murder. After the jury had been out
asout two hours they returned the
following verdict: I'VE, the jury,
find the defendant guilty of aggra-
waited assault, and assess his punish
ment at $25 fine, and herewith pay
the fine" On inquiry as to the
meaning of the last clause of the
verdict, it came out that eleven Of
the jurors had agreed that the de-
fendant was not guilty. but the
twelfth doggedly hung out for con-
viction for aggravated assault, and
would not consent to q punishment
less than a fine Of s25. Finding 1t
a hopeless task to bring over the OBJ
stinate one to their way of thinking,
the eleven finally decided to agree
with him, and "chipped In" enough
to pay the fine.

Levi Williams borrowed u gun
to shoot some crows and when TAX
ing the weapon back to the house
neglected to remove the shells. The
gun beng placed against the house,
fell over, and was discharged. Some
of the shot went into two of his
sons legs. DR.. f. b. Gavitte from
White Mills, and DR.. Nielsen, OF
Honesdale, were called to remove
the shot from their legs and feet.
We hope that the accident will not
be of a serious nature, but people
should be careful of guns, especially
when around the house where there
are children.

A few days ago one Of the teach

ing that he would not be allowed to
go home till he had prepared his
days lesson. When the rest OF the
students had gone away and there
was none to watch them the master
shut the boy up in small room
and demanded all his ornaments.
On the latter's refusal the master
gave him several cuts with q blunt

kill the boy and the boy also was
suffering from eXcruciating pain, he
requested his teacher to kill him by
stone lying in the school compound.
No sooner said then the master
agreed to it and went to bring the
stone. The master had hardly lifted
the stone when black serpent rose
up and coiled itself round his arms.
The half dead boy, seeing that his

An Anuarium Clinic.

l once attended a clinic at the hos
pital tank in a great aquarium. The
patients were mostly afflicted with
fungus, which, to judge by their de-
jected air, must be an extremely de-
pressing malady. The doctor laid
stretcher over one end of the tank so
that It's sagging cotton webbing took
up little pool of water. Capturing
a sick whitefish with a dip net, he
laid it out on the stretcher, and
grasping it firmly by its thick shoul-
ders he dipped cloth in strong
brine, with which, despite its an
guished writings, he bathed that
unhappy fish from tip to tail. Re-
leased the patient sank dismally.
belly upward, to the bottom of the
pool Had he been a salt water fish
instead of a denizen of the Great
Lakes he would have been treated to
a fresh water bath, since fungi are
destroyed by a short stay In the
wrong sort of water, while the fish,
though lamentably incommoded,
survives to tell the tale. Those who
succumb to the hardships of captiv-
ity or the onslaught of blood thirsty
kindred have their brief epitaths
written up In the aquarium necrol-
ogy-"May 2. one perch; June, one

WHITE MILLS.

June Sth.-The White Mills
school board rcorgani2ed and the
following Officers were elected:
President, John Tunan, Sr., secre-
tary, John Sonner; treasurer, Jos.
Stephens. The county superin-
tendent met with the board and ex-
planned what they would need, and
the benefits derived therefrom, by
adopting the High school studies in
this district. 1t is generally known
that the teachers of White Mills
school were teaching more scholars
than they could give the necessary
attention to and it would soon be-
come necessary to engage another
teacher. After careful considera-
tion by the board they thought it
would be doing the people of White
Mills an injustice if they did not
take advantage of the extra appro-
priation which was allowed to the
Independent districts that would
qualify, and they unanimously
adopted the high school, which will
demand another teacher and the
benefits that will be derived there
from by the people can not be over
estimated. Fred Houth, our retir-
ing secretary, should have great
praise for the interest that he has
taken in the White Mills school
while serving as secretary. Moth.
ing has been left undone on his
part. The teachers have all beer
reappointed for another year and il
speaks well for their past services
as the board has never received {
single complaint during the year
Parents should get in closer toucl
with the teachers and the results
will be far more satisfactory to al
concerned.

Peter Maher grinned. Stepping in
he lightly tapped Mike Morrisey on the

1t wasn't until long after midnight that
