About eleven o'clock on the above night, fire was dis­ covered in the rear of the school house, and the parties who arrived first discov­ ered that boxes had been piled up at th'e rear of the building, saturated with kero­ sene and set on fire, and had it not been discovered just as it was the building would have been destroyed, and, it being so dry, probably other bujldings near.

No parents who has a sincere regard for the welfare of his son will premit him to start out as an amateur' printer. Amateurs never amount to much in any­ thing, but owing to the peculiar character of the printing business, not one boy in a hundred who begins as an amateur ever becomes a first-class workman On first sight printing seems to be so easy that most every boy imagines he can master the whole art in a few months. After he begins and gets along to where he can deliver work that'is a trifle more readable than "copy" and is not all offset, his appetite is whetted by the money he has received for it from good nature or charitably disposed friends, and he imagines that all he needs in order to make a large fortune very quickly, is a large and more expensive outfit. So the kind parent puts his hand into his pocket, Or his name upon a note, and young America has his heart's desire. What then? Failure in almost eyery case; and not only failure, but very often a life practically thrown away; for the boy who has never been taught* and has prematurely been allowed to be his own master gets to be incapable of learn­ ing or doing anything thoroughly. You might just as well expect an old dog ta learn new tricks, as an amateur printer to be a first-class workman. The moral of this is, that if a boy de­ sires to become a printer his parents should put him into a printing office and have him taught the business regularly. There is just as much need for him to study the art of printing as therens for a candidate for the bar io study the principles of law. Furthermore, amateur printers are an unmitigated nuisance, as a general thing, for they are not cont&t to print for their own edification, but in­ sist upon forcing their meretricious pro­ ductions upon consumers who would prefer, if left to themselves, to pay a fair price for decent work.--Press and Type.

Hughes Smith was bori/ near Wilkesbarre, Penn., January 14th, 1825, on the soil made famous by the Wyoming massacre, from which her ma­ ternal grandfather escaped by conceal­ ment in a cave formed by overhanging roots and turf of a large elm tree on the bank of the Susquehanna. The names of several of his family are to be seen on the monument erected to perpetuate the memory of that tragic slaughter. De­ ceased traced her genealogy through hen. maternal line of three generations to King George III. and Hannah Lightfoot. Her father was of Welch extraction. She received a fair common school edu­ cation at Whitesville, Allegheny coanty, New York, thence she entered Alfred Uni­ versity for a three years' course, where she maintained her standing second to none of her numerous classmates and from which popular institution she grad­ uated with the degree of A. B. in 1848, and in a few years she received the de­ gree of A. M. from her Alma Mater. On the 13th day of April, 1848, she was married to her surviving husband, Asa W. Smith, by Rev. N. V. Hull in the chapel of the University, at the special request of the faculty, and in the pres­ ence of hundreds of her own and hue band's former classmates, whose willing hdnds had decqrated the chapel in a splendor never to be forgotten by the wedding party. For three years of her early married life she was associate prin cipal with her husband, first of Couders- port Academy, Pennsylvania, and second of Addison Academy, New York. On the last day of January, 1854, she with her family came to Woodstock and th'e following autumn g humble home was built on the site of the present family residence, whence she passed the portals of death October 21,1889. She leaves her surviving husband, daughter Cora Agnes, sons Arnold Douglas and Roscoe O., all of whom ex­ cept Arnold were at her bedside adminis­ tering to her cotnforts as best they could during her long and painful illness. Arnold, Who resides at Renville, Minn., was present to watch by her bed during six short days of her suffering in the mouth of August, and returned to his home with elated hopes of her final re­ covery, but who when the final summons came was obliged to telegraph back "Im­ possible to come." Deceased was a scholar of rare attain­ ment, having never laid aside her study of books and nature in all its comprehen­ sive grandeur, and died in love and in full faith in the existance of the God of Nature, whom she adored and worshipp­ ed. and who had given her the stars, the birds, the running brook and the gems of earth to study and admire.

After spending some time in contemplation of the mysterious aperture, the spirit of curiosity, so strong in the average AmerJ ican, prompted an investigation into the mystery, and they proceeded to enter, the introduction being made on hands and knees, the hole being too small to admit pf but an ordinary sized body. After crawling some distance into the gloom of the secret cavern, it grew larger, and at a distance of twenty feet from the opening, the explorers were able to stand erect, and walk with ease. It prov­ ed to be a subterranean cavern, sur­ rounded on all sides with solid rock, and looked as though it might at some time Where the proof is conclusive, tot the !®en. habitation of man, The investigation was not satisfactory owing to the deep gloom which prevailed, and the farmers came to the city the next day for the pnrpose of securing dynamite with which to enlarge the opening by blasting away the surface rock, when they hope to find something of sufficient value to repay them for their trouble. It seems to be a natural cave, and no doubt has lain empty from the beginning of time, and might have remained so to the end had not the water when at high tide worn away the earth sufficient to ex­ pose to the eye the narrow opening. Footfalls on the floor of the cavern gave back a deep, hollow sound, which would indicate that the cave consists of much more space than has yet been ex­ plored. The parties who discovered the curiosity are of the opinion that we have in this a rival of the great Mammoth Cave of Kentucky.--Rockford Gazette. ROOMS TO RENT.

Croup is the terror of young mothers especially during the early winter months, as it is then most prevalent. To post them concerning the cause, first symp­ toms, treatment, and how to prevent it, is the object of this article. The origin of croup is a common cold. Children are subject to it take cold very easily and croup is almost sure to follow. The first symptoms of croup is hoarseness; it is a peculiar hoarseness, easily recognized, and once beard always remembered. Usually a day or two be­ fore the attack, the child becomes hoarse aiidsgradually shows symptoms of hav­ ing taken cold, and this is where the mis­ take is usually made, the mother think­ ing her child has just taken cold, gives it no especial attention until awakened in the night by the violent coughing of the child, finds it has the croup, and remem­ bers it has had a cold or been hoarse for a day or two. Such circumstances often occur, and in many cases the mother has nothing in the house that will relieve it, and may be several miles from a physi­ cian or drug store. You can well imag­ ine the situation and her distress. The time to act is when the child first becomes hoarse, or shows symptoms of having taken cold; if Chamberlain's Cough Reml edy is freely given from that time on, all tendency to croup will disappear and al- danger be avoided. The remedy prevents tally ten thousand cases of croup every year. It is the main reliance with many mothers throughout the Western States and territories; they have learned its val­ ue and how to use it, and in those fami­ lies croup is seldom known because it is always prevented. Can any mother who has small children afford to be without such a remedy? It costs but fifty cents, can she afford to take the chances for so trivial an amount? For sale by G. W. Besley.
