A good programme has been prepased. THE young friends of Miss Mary Block gave her an agreeable surprise on Thurs­ day evening of last week, it being hor eighteenth birthday. They enjoyed an evenfibg of real pleasure and on their de­ parture left tokens of their regards in the shape of several beautiful presents. Miss LULU BABBITT, sister of Mrs. O. N. Owen, died at the home of her parents, in Elgin, On Monday morning, of con­ sumption. She had been confined to the house for about a year, and a few weeks ago La Grippe set in which ended as ve. Her many friends in this village deeply sympathize with her parents and friends in this their hour of sorrow. WHEN men get to lawing it there is qo telling where they will wind up. An ex­ change tells of two farmers of St. Charles Co., Mo., who twenty-five years ago went into court over the ownership of a colt valued at eighteen dollars. The case has just been decided and, thecoats in the case amount to eighteen hundred dollars while the colt died several years ago. HERE is a clever little gem which is going the rounds: "He didn't read the papers for they hadn't any news; at least they didn't coincide with his especial views, and when became to town one day with criticisms ripe, he climbed an eke trie iight post to light his ancient pipe; he hadn't read tbe papers--but he knew just what was best, he simply touched the wiresr-the fluid did the rest.

This recipe comes from Kansas. ONE of the most dastardly outrages that has come to our notice for a lpng time occurred on what is known as the Pingrey Farm, 3% miles east of Nunda, on the night of February 25th. The particulars, as we learn them, are as follows: On the evening above mentioned the daughter of the tenant on the farm was married, and friends to the number of about seventy-five had assembled to celebrate the occasion. Some time dur­ ing the evening two young men by the names of Fred Lequest and Wm. Holtz, came there uninvited but were not allowed to enter tbe house. They were given Cigars but1 demanded something to drink, which was refused. They went, as it was thought, away, but returned soon after and with a club smashed in the kitchen window, where the women folks were preparing supper. The noise of the breaking window startled the entire party who rushed for the kitchen from all parts of the house, and the kitchen being over tbe cellar the floor gave away and about fifty, men women and children, were pre­ cipitated into the cellar, together with a red hot stove, boiling water, and three or four kerosene lamps. One young man, Charles Rosenthal, was caught undor the hot stove, and was so badly burned that ho died on Fnday night last. Miss Buhrman, a young lady about 19 years of age, was badly scalded and is now laying at the point of death, while all were more or less bruised and burned. Had the kerosene ignited not one would have escaped alive, but fortunately it did not. Lequest and Holtz, after breaking the window ran away, and for a time it was not known who committed the deed, but Detective Benthusen was put upon the rail and soon succeeded in running the culprits down and they are now in Woodsto k Jail, committed withodt bail, to await the action of the Grand Jury. Much praise is due Detective Benthusen for tbe speedy manner in which he brought these villains where they will be obliged to answt r for this great crime.

About the year 1830, by an mwiflgnfaj circumstance, women's riding was revo­ lutionized. An Englishman q&ade a wager to ride a steeplechase on aside sadSSle. A preliminary trial showed him, I imagine, the rashness of the So to the danger by enabling him to sit safely, Mr. Fits- hardinge Oldacre, I think, invented the third pommel. Looking back one wonders how it was that women had not long before invented it for themselves under stress of urgent need. But one generation followed another and no (me seems to have thought of it. Once in­ vented, however, it was immediately adopted, and a three pommeled side saddle came into general use. This in­ vention at once reinstated women's rid­ ing as a fine art by producing a new de­ parture under improved conditions. For the prip oM»in»Me by its means gives the greatest possible security in ex­ change fo» the least possible expenditure of force. Baddies of this kind were cumbrous and very heavy, but during the follow-, ing fifty years the weight of construc­ ting wse reduccd, an.i little by little every unnecessary item was cut away, till in course of time tbe three pommeled saddle evolved into the long, light hunting saddle actually in use at present. It differs in several ways from lis pivtOtypH. lii vliia xiiuuera saddle the long narrow cantle is built over a sort of tunnel, which takes in the horse's withers and allows the seat of the saddle to lie flat; while the old fashioned seat doped up and tilted the rider's knee with much the same effect as riding up hill. All traces of the outer pommel have disappeared, leaving a free space where no resistance is necessary. Finally, the left hand pommel is placed high up the thigh, where the grip is strongest, the pressure having formerly been placed just above the knee, BO that a shorter stirup was necessary. Now, such greater leverage mt to an exaggeration of movement, which prevented all rhythm, for obviously the closer the rider can cii the more possibility there will be of being "one" with the horse, of riding so as to blend with his action, of, so to •peak, following the pattern of his movement. In the modern saddle all modifications tend to diminish effort and by greater security to enable the rider to sit very still. Strength of seat seems to me to be the result, roughly speaking, of three grips, caused by the opposing pressure of the two legs against the pommels. Of these grip®, the first results from the downward pmmnm of tbe whole length of the right thigh and the upward press­ ure of the left. The second is the grip, just above the knee, of the right thigh against the pommel, involving the press­ ure of the leg ja'st above the ankle on the saddle flao below. This grip is counterbalanced by the left leg's inward pressure sA the knee. And, third, thl hook back of the right leg ovej the pom mel as opposed to the pressure vof the stirrup foot. Moreover, by sitting far back the leverage of these three grips is in­ creased, and the consequent distribution of the weight makes the balance right, The legs must be immovable on the saddle, but above the waist the .body sways and gives to the horse's action, and from constant habit a good rider adjusts the l&lanee almost by instinct, and carries^ the horse's movements in a multiplicity of tiny curves which pass imperceptibly from one step to another without any jerk or abruptness of move- BnpTjf.,--i nti Illustrated, ^ -> A £ove Party.
