The spectacle of two men ill treot
Jngahorseby fust driving and beat
ing with a club was witnessed on our
streets one day last week. The poor
beast was neurly worn out with fast
drivingund yet tin-inhuman occupants
of the carriage urged it to still further
' speed. The law for the prevention of
cruelty to animals should be enforced
in instances of this kind. The next
time a similar case comes under our
notice we shall not hesitate to give the
names of the guilty parties.
Week ago lust Saturday Mrs.
O'Brien's house, next west of "The

Just week's issue but unintentionally
omitted. The cause of the tire is un
known, alt hough as the stove pipe pro
jected through a hole in the roof, the
mystery is not a grent one. The
township will at once put up a new
house on the lot next west of the one
where the burned house stood.
Nearly all the household goods were
saved.

Last Day of School.
Wednesday, of last week, the Pub
lic Schools of Ridgway closed until
after the usual summer vacation.
Although Prof. Johnson had been un
able to be about the day before, ow ing
to sickness, he was on hand for the
closing of the last day, and we will
add right here that he has lost but half
a day In the four years lie has taught
this school, and been tardy but once or
twice. No set programme was gone
through with,"the exercises consisting
of instrumental music and songs by
Misses Jennie and Katie Grcsh; songs
by Miss Nellie Jackson with organ ac
companiment by Miss Jennie Jackson.
"When ye gang awa Jamie" was sung
by Nellie Jackson and Willie Schram.
The recitation of the classes in geogra
phy and reading was one of the
marked features of the occasion, while
the grammar recitation denoted a
thorough knowledge of that branch,
although the class spoke too low to be
heard with anything like ease at the
farther end . of the room. The
geography class not only bounded nil
the States in South America, giving
their capital, chief products, etc., hut
named the rivers, capes, and moun
tains, besides u greut amount of other
interesting facts. Supt. Dixon pro
nounced words found in the lesson,
by request of Prof. Johnson, and
stated that the class could spell all the
names and other words relating to
South America. The drill on Europe
was equally perfect. The rapid adding
by Gussie Woodward proved him to be
u muster in that line. No other pupil
in the school, save, perhaps, Willie
Schram, attempts to compete with
Gussie for the honor of being the most
rapid and correct in adding upcolumns
of figures, several trials convincing tlte
audience that he was hard to beat, his
results, quickly reached, always being
correct. Further, this champion is the
smallest pupil in the high school de
partment. Prof. Johnson sjKike sev
eral times during the progress of the
exercises, saying, among other things,
that, among the duties of the Princi
pal of the school for the past four years
had been the carrying up, from the
basement, an average of ten tons of
coal per annum, besides the sweeping
and other janitor work in which his
wife assisted him; all this, lie said,
added to his other duties, necessitated
the working on an average of fourteen
hours a day, Sundays alone excepted.
He spoke with manifest difficulty,
although his words were distinctly
heard and attentively listened to by
the audience. Mr. C. E Holiday and
Supt. Geo. R. Dixon replied in well
chosen words to the remarks of Prof.
Johnson. The school room was com
fortably filled by pupils, their parents
and others. The closing song, " Sweet
By 'and By," was sung by . the
Misses Gresh. Pfof. Johnson grasped
each person by the hand as the audi
ence filed out the door, and thus
ended the last day of school.

A piece of lemon upon a corn will
relieve it in a day or so. It should be
renewed night and morning. The
free use of lemon juice and sugar will
relieve a cough. A lemon eaten be
fore breakfast every morning for a
week or two will entirely prevent the
feeling of lassitude peculiar to the
upproiich of spring. Perhaps its most
vuluabie property is its absolute power
of detecting any of the injurious in
gredients entered into the composition
of so very many of the cosmetics and
fuce powders in the market. Every
lady should subject her toilet powder
to tills test: Place a teaspoonful of the
suspected powder in a glass and add
the juice of a lemon ; if effervescence
takes place it is an infallable proof
that the powder is dangerous and its
use should be avoided as it will ulti
mately injure the skin and destroy he
beauty of the complixion.

A little girl of Mr. Lytles drank
half an ounce of solution of arsenic
this morning. Doctor Straight wasitt

use of the stomach pump. The girl is
stiil alive at 4 o'clock this afternoon,
with consideruMe hopes of her re
covery. The arsenic was used in the
family as u niediclneonedrop of which
was a dose, so it will be seen t hut the
