tavern stand recently kept by George
Schafer, and is determined to spare no
efforts to please, and to make those
who stop with him feel at borne. Tills
building has not been used as u tavern
for many years, and is now owned by
Aaron Clevenger, whose son William
has erected a line three story building
on the east end of the lot and Is carry
ing tin the furnitiim business.
As already intimated the Fulton
House was known as Mrs. Windle's
hotel, and Cook's tavern was a build
removed a few years ago to make
room for the present Cooper house.
It was kept by John Cook, an uncle of
the late Squire Jacob, and Michuel
Cook.
John Cook came here from Licking
creek llridge ( Harrlsonville), where
he had been keeping a ti vern during
the forties.
John Render says, Cook's wite,
Aunt Hannah, us she was generally
known, was greatly interested in poli
tics, and that during the campaign in
1844 she was bitter in her denuncia
tions of Polk. Some one was teasing
her one day "Polk! Polk, elect
ted! He'll only get one vote, and that
will be Sam Michaels down at McCon
uellstown." About ten years after the above oc
currence, John Linn, a well-known
carpenter of this place, was helping to
put a roof on Cook's tavern. Cook,
himself, besides being u tavern keeper,
was a good gunsmith. In the spout
ing, John and his companion found a
piece of steel which looked unusually
good, and they took it to a black
smith shop and hud two nail sinkers
a carpenter can tell you what a nail
sinker is and John says he has car
ried his in his pocket ever since, has
it now, und would not like to part with
it.

There seems to tie a "mad dog"
scare ut Laurel Ridge near Rig .Cove
Tannery. Lust week II. Frank Slilves's
dog showed signs of discontent so
greatly that the attention of the fumily
was attracted. On Wednesday morn
ing of last week, Mrs. Slilves thought
it prudent to tie the dog, and attempt
ing to do so, the dog bit her in the
hand. She did not become thoroughly
frightened about the matter until Sat
urday, when her hand gave her puln,
il nil she learned that the dog had been
roaming over the neighborhood, and
had bitten a dog belonging to William
Drown at Potts' Mill, and also one of
Robert Mellott's. Dr. Garthwalte was
consulted, and, on Sunday evening,
Mrs. Shives and the Doctor left for
Baltimore where she will undergo tlio
Pasteur treatment at the Johns Hop
kins hospital. We sincerely trust
that Mrs. Shives may not suffer se
riously from the wound.

tary. Subjects discussed:
1. How do you teach 1'. S. History!'
2. How do you teach Arithmetic!' X
Benefits of, and how to secure, a Pub
lic School Library.
These subjects were ably discussed
by Mr. James Keefer, Mr. L. Harris,
Mrs, Cook, Mr. Ray and Hon. Geo.
W. Skinner. Among other good
tilings, Mrs. Cook and Hon. Geo. W.
Skinner suggested that we notify our

endeavoring to procure u Public

terially help us.
All present agreed as to the great
advantage of u well selected library in

necessary funds. mil be reached to sup
ply the same.
One patron thought it would bo well
to instruct children more thoroughly
in "practical measurements" so that a
boy could calculate readily the
amount of wood in any rank or the
number of boards in any log. Patron
No. 2 replied, "Tlyre are many peo
ple around here who alrcudy know
how to rank a cord of wood with much
less than one hundred and twenty
eight feet." This was u very spleeny
remark und I very much suspect a dis
ordered liver in his cuse.
The discussions of the various top
ics were interspersed with songs and
a high class literary entertainment by
the school.
