A great crowd gathered to v.itness the sport, and the cross streets and alleys were guarded so that Itoynard could not escape, As he was let loose ho started up Main street, but it wns a hurd run through the heavy mud and ho did not make very fast time. The hounds followed soon after. yelping nt the top of their lungs, ;and just behind them came a number of horsemen including C. E. Savage, Frank Aurand, J F. Caldwell, J. A.

The horsemen lost sight of tho fox, and tho hounds fulled to catch it Several dogs were wounded in going through barbed dro fences. .Tho fox went up along tho ridge, anil then went to the river this side of the Halt Way house where William Glger shot atShlm, but missed him when the fox ran back, toward the ridge By this time three dogs made their appear. nuce In a Held of Hlrnm Sweppenhelser's in Centre township, and their barking drew the attention of Mr. Sweppenheiser and hi son who were In the barn.

He descrlb- cd tho process ot treatment as follows t Take a tablcspoonful each of turpentine and liquid tarj put them Into a tin pan or cup, and set fire to tho mixture, taklnir caro to have a larger pan under it as a safe guard against the spread of the flames. A dense, resinous smoke arises, making the room dark. Tho patient Immediately seems to experience relief; the choking and rattlo stop; the patient falls Into a slumber and seems to Inhale tho smoke with pleas ure. Tho fibrinous membrnno soon be comes detached, and tho patient coughs up fibrin, in which, when caught on a glass, tho microbes may be seen to dlssolvo In the smoke. In tho cour60 of three days the patient entirely recovers. This remedy has proved successful In many Instances, aiut householders everywhere should bear It In mtnd. A prominent gentleman In Clmrlestown, Mass , who applied the treat ment to his own child, after tho sufferer was given over ns Incurable by his family physician, suggests that before burning tho Ingredients named, all such articles as would bo likely to be Injured by tha thick smoko should be removed or covered up closely.

SOME EXCELLENT I1ULES FOR I'ltEVENTINO WEAK EYES AND l'llESEHVINtl SIGHT. "Near slghtedness, weak eyes nnd blind ness are increasing every year," said an oculist, "and thero Is no necessity for It. The eyes are more important to a person than any member of the body, and but few persons take proper cart of them. Of all the senses with which the human body Is Invested, the most peculiar In Its operation is that of sight. Tho apparatus ot vision Is more complicated in its structure than that of any other of the special senses. Some excellent rules for relieving or pre venting weak Bight are. Rest the eyes for a few moments when the sight becomes in the least painful, blurred at d Indistinct, Do not read during convalescence from illness. Never read while lying down. Never rend in the cars. Nover read small print long nt a time. The light should fall on tho book over the left side rather from above the level of the .head. Take plenty of sleep. Ten hours' sleep for deli cate eyes is better than eight. Tho gener- nl health should be maintained by a good diet, air, exercise, amusement and n prop cr rcstilctlon of the hours of hard work, and if these rules are followed out oculists, each as myself, would havo to go out of business," For a time my life was despaired of.

Grimes arrived at 10:15 a. m. Tho institute opened by signing and devotional exercises. Prof, Cope advised teachers to Jlbrow away tho books until the pupils are old enough to understand them; to teach the child how to talk and write. A pupil may learn how from the book, yet will not do it when ho writes. It is only by constant practice that one learns to do a thing, nut by seeing done tiring newspapers and other news of the day in tho school, have the pupil discuss It, let them correct each others' pa pers. They will notice mistakes on other papers rjulcker than on their own. After singing, adjourned to 1 p. m. One o'clock found the house crowded four schools, Hartzeis,H!ppcnstie.'F, Camby and Kitchen's attending in a body.
