pledge he faithfully kept paying into the school fund $7000 This so pleased the people that they wanted Mr Tucker kept in the office and the Tucker principle ap plied to other offices They were indignant therefore when the county convention ignored Tucker and nominated another man for the place The hubbub rose higher and higher till it reached a climax in a large mass convention the largest ever held in the county a few days ago The chairman was Mr Henry Larimore had entered the room in his shirt sleeves and with only one He was chosen with a tremendous aye and puttiug on his coat and with a single suspender Mr Larimore took his position on the stand and proceeded to deliver a brief at the close of which the meeting gave cheers for the one gallows and then buckled down to work It resolved that salaries of $1500 for the collector $1200 for probate judge $1200 for county clerk and $1200 for circuit clerk were sufficient and that no can didates should be supported who would not

proved that it cost much and furnished exercise to but very few and the gymnastics were allowed to give way to boating and walking and other natural forms of exercise because the very mechanical

Chalk Several days ago an application reached the patent office from Strong and KateM Strong of Talladega Ala for a patent for an ant guard The petition which was a very funny one set forth that the Strongs who are man and wife had jointly put their minds together and had invented the most wonderful thing ever heard of to wit an which they went on to describe at great length They claimed that it was patentable as it was new and useful two things that are necessary to secure a patent The guard consisted of drawing a chalk mark around a table or other place by which it was claimed the approach of ants was stopped Mr Strong says and Mrs Strong swears it is true that an ant cannot walk over a chalk line and that all that is necessary to keep ants away from anything is to draw a chalk line around it It appears that chalk makes an legs slip up as soaping a track prevents a railroad engine from starting The petition was novel and caused considerable fun At last the commissioner of patents looked over the precedents and directed his law clerk to write a decision refusing the application on the ground that there was nothing new in the invention claimed that chalk had been used for such purposes heretofore and winding up with the general statement that such ideas are not patentable This decision was sent to the Strong family but it failed to satisfy them They had made up their minds that there was millions in their invention and they did not intend to be cheated out of it by any such decision As they have money they can pay lawyers To day there was filed an appeal from the decision of the commissioner of patents This appeal will be tried in September next in the circuit Letter to Hart ford Times American Ingenuity has again triumphed in London where the correspondent of the Rochdale Observer after hoping as usual that free trade was about to come in with a rush in America thus dilates on the latest arrival: This reminds me of the splendid new tram cars that have just been placed on the North Metropolitan lines They are so admirable that it is hardly possible to speak of them without enthusiasm They are 20 years in advance of anything that has hitherto been seen in and they are not only an American patent but they are brought over from America made and finished ready for placing on the rails They are made so light and easy of pull that they will carry eight more persons than those on the line before with only two horses (a third being hooked on occasionally for a bit of up hill) There are 11 places on each side of the knife rail outside and 11 on each seat inside and as they are very often full the two horses carry 44 persons besides the driver and conductor The most striking improvement is the outside seat Every seat is a separate flapper with a leather covered fixed cushion upon it When you are not sitting upon it you cannot see it for it has flown up with a spring and concealed its cushion in a hollow place in the side of the knife board You pull it out by a leather handle turning it upon its hinge till it lies flat upon the seat cushion upwards and you sit upon it and keep it there You must either sit upon it or hold it down or it will fly back to its place and conceal its cushion in the hollow of the knife board And so it never gets wet in the rain When you do not sit upon it it packs itself away and keeps itself dry ree trade gives us all the benefit of this fine American and the North Metropolitan tram way company goes on paying its shareholders 8 per cent The ox Girls as they used to be called 29 years ago when the Rochester (N Y) knockings attracted so much attention have been so little heard of lately that many persons suppose they have gone to the spirit land from which they claimed to receive innumerable communications They have not however They are in good health are said to have as firm faith in Spiritu alism and to he as extraordnary mediums as ever though but one of them now gives public exhibition of her powers This is the youngest of the three sisters Margaret ox or Margaret ox Kane (she was reported to have been mar ried to Dr Kane the Arctic explorer some time before his death though his relatives vehement ly denied the marriage) who is reported to be holding seances in London The second sister Catharine or Kate is living in rance the wife of a renchman possessed of a title The third sister Leah is Mrs Underhill and a resident of New York The rise of spirit rapping was ac cording to the believers in it as follows: In 1817 Michael Weekman of Hydesville Wayne county was surprised by knockings upon the door of his house which he could not possibly explain They so troubled him that he moved out and John ox and his family entirely honest and respectable folks moved in The knockings they were louder and more frequent than before The oxes tried every way to un ravel the mystery but all to no purpose inally Kate ox then only nine years old observed that such sounds as she made were exactly imi tated and this led to communications from the invisible source that were quite astounding to the family Kate and her sister Margaret es pecially the former seemed to act very sympa thetically on the who or which grew to be so annoying that Kate went to Rochester to get rid of them The rappings followed her and so much curiosity was felt in the matter that a lecture was given November 14 1848 in Corinthian hall stating the alleged facts This was the first introduction of Spiritualism to the public and its phenomena have excited more or less attention since the world over President Raymond of Vassar as a Teacher Some small men cast large shadows some large men cast small shadows Dr Ray mond was greater than his reputation He was unambitious of fame He was a teacher an administrator and a pioneer and he found his reward in his pupils his college and the silent influence of his work in the community His character was essentially that of an instructor said a friend to him in a quiet conference in his parlor one day last spring you do not weary of going over and over again the same dry and dusty path the alphabet of mental and moral replied Dr Raymond with quiet significance because you are not a teacher An investi gator finds his enjoyment in exploring new fields: a teacher in developing new His interest was in his pupils his reward was in their affection When last commencementday the valedictorian speaking for her class hade him good by the tears came unbidden to his eyes said he afterward to WB HARRIS LAND SURVEYOR 6 Block 365 Mitin street
