LAST Tuesday afternoon a terrible dis
charge of "heaven's attillery " shook
our town and woke the echoes of
the hills: It was ascertained that the
heavily charged thiinder clonds bad sent
a bolt earthward in the form of a large
hill of fire which struck a small bass
wood tree, amid a clump of higher trees,
on the steep bank north of E. C. OLIVER
Son's planing mill, shattering the tree.
When the bolt struck, Mrs. WINO, who
was at work it Gus. BrIADLEy's, was , go
ing out through the kitchen with a *el
in her handrwhen she was struck bY a
discharge and one arm and side of ;her
body was paralyzed so as to preterit 'her

THE people at pig Pond Springfield
township, -says the Troy Gazoe, are still
very much 'undecided am somewhat ex
cited about their "sea serpent," as some
of them facetiously call the mysterious
visitors that frequent the pond. The pond
is a shallow one, half a mile long and less
than a quarter in width, and almost any
day there can be seen what appears to be
a big fish of perhaps the lengths( a man's
body, swimming hero and there, sloe ( ly
turning and gliding through the war.
iimnetimes a dozen or more of these ill
be seen at a time. The question arises,.
what are they ? If they are large fish,
where did they come from, and of what
variety are they? Marry suppose them
to be schools of bullheads swimming in
masses, others think they atelarge cat
fish, and others think that they are the
sea serpent with his -numerous brood.

Fellow teachers of Bradford county, are you pre

Towanda, August It to .T.:41 . Certainty you are;
why do I ask ; and yet In consideration of the very:
low-salary which many of us receive at the present

go. But let me tell you In alt candor. I believe we
can't afford to stay away and lose the golden har

especially those who were at Towanda during the
two weeks drill last summer.

Many a time I have gone after a toilsome summers

determined tomtit Mot lield of labor. I knew I'
was not doing all that should or ought to be done
In the'sc , tool room. I felt unworthy to take under
my charge the training of the immortal mind.

were far superior to me in our profession. getting
some new fund Tor thought; grasping at some new
ideas that were advanced by those wiser ones;
catching eagerly at every new method which I felt

reenter the sehool-room. that I might put in prac
