This flourishing institution for the
higher education of young women has
just closed a year of great prosperity,
graduating a class of twelve in litera-
ture, music, and commercial 'seieneo,
iu addition to over 70 certificates from
the Educatiou Department won by its
students daring the year. Every depart.
ment is most thoroughly manned and
its large staff of (18) teachers has been
very carefully selected. For a school
offering first-class advantages in the
way of board, tution, gas -lighting,
team heating, etc., the rates are very
low, running from 539 to $46 per term.
The yearly rate. is still more favorable

Mrs. A. Seebeck asked through Mes-
srs, Dent & Thompson, of Mitchell, for
"32,500 damages for sending Wm. See -
back, wnile infected with smallpox, to
her residence in the towhship of Logan,
causing her to catch the infection from
her son, permanently impairing her
health." The case has since been com-
promised for 3500, which with the re-
sult of the Logan suit, will make the
total about 32,000.
Early the other week, all went mer-
rily at a very interesting wedding un -
111 Ibm bridegroom was called upon
to
produce the wedding ring. In vain he
felt his pockets for the missing article..
Nothing could be found except a hole
in one of his, trousers' pockets, through
which the ring had evidently fallenin-
to his boot, What was be to do? "Take
off your boot," said the minister. The
suspense and silence was painful. The
young man ; sitting down, removed his
boot, the ring was found -also a big
hole in the heel of his stocking, which
led the divine to remark: "Young man
it as time you were married!"

It's Sometimes so With us.
A prominent gentleman refused to
pay up his arrears on subscription,
claiming that be hadn't got half a
dozen copies of the Murphyboro' (Ili.)
Journal. That paper cleverly remarks:
"A lot of other delinquents claim they
don't get the paper half the 'time. We
never hear such complaints from those
who have paid. We don't understand
how the postmaster can tell who are
in arrears and who are not; we never
said a word to him Eabout it. It isn't
right that he should discriminate. He
has no right to hold their papers back.
because they are paid for. But it is a
way postmasters all over the country
are in the habit of doing. We have
heard the complaint for the past twenty
years. It should serve as a warning,
however, to deliquents. If you want
your paper,regularly you should pay
in advance. We have no jurisdiction
over postmasters. It is more than like-
ly they do it through a mistaken kind-
ness to the publishers.

The Mitchell Advocate says:—A
young man of the 3rd line of Logan
has had quite an experience in hunt-
ing up a wife. It 18 said that he 'pro-
Prosed" to several, and a few weeks
ago was to have married a young girl
of this town. The day was set, the wed-
ding gown procured, but at the last
moment the lady repented, and the
match was declared off. Determined
not to be outdone, Will went for pas-
tures new, and it was not long before
his good looks and well lined pockets
won the affections of another of Mit-
chell's charming daughters, The license
was procured, the minister engaged and
the knot was to be tied in Trinity
church Wednesdayv
evening last. The
sacred building was brilliantly lighted,
the organist was at her post, and an
anxious congregation awaited the ar-
rival of the "happy couple." Time went
on, when it leaked out that the mar -
'daze was off, the father of the would-
be bride having interfered. The con-
gregration soon dispersed, sadly dis-
appointed at the turn affairs had taken.
Will is greatly depressed, but declares
that the snow will not fall before he will
be united to some fair damsel of the
neighborhood,

Wednesday afternoon a barn belong-
ing to Hugh McIntyre, three miles out,

Wingham: While engaged in hoist•
ing peas in the barn on his farm, now
leased to his son•in-law, John Fife,
Lawrence Tracy met with a serious ac
cident, in having the three largest fin-
gers, of the loft hand so badly smashed
that amputation was necessary. The
first and second fingers were taken off
at, the knuckle, the third between: the
knuckle and first joint. The old gen•
tleman stood the amputation well.

with a lady in order that she might
take the early train, when the horse
got frightened and bolted, throwing
them' out of the conveyance, but with-
out injury to them. The fright how-
ever, caused the bursting of a blood-
y easel in the horse, and it dropped dead
in a minute. It was a fine driver and
is quite a loss.
