Mr. Clem met with quite a painful accident recently. While splitting wood he made a mis lick and cut his boot but his foot was there for a share of the honor. Wednesday, Nov. 28th was a cloudless day, but yet there was Snow in district No. 1 and 4. We suppose the teachers will endorse tins sentiment. Come again, professor. Win. F. Johnson attended the biblical geological lecture at our place last Friday night, at the close of which Prof. Fuller gave a phrenological examination of'Mr. Johnson. This latter gentleman is also a phrenologist. We saw Messrs. Friend and McAlhaney out last Saturday posting up “corn sale” bills and Oh such elegant bills! My! How we envied thelm their trip. Mr. Hart, we learn has the mammoth corn of this township—ears 15 inches long. He is preparing a log wagon with block and tackle to load and haul the corn to his crib.

PLEASANT MILLS INSTITUTE. The institute held Nov. 24th was a grand success and was attended by a large number of persons. Every teacher in the township was present. The teachers and scholars put forth every effort to make it a success. The forenoon was taken up by the teachers, but the afternoon was given to the scholars. A lenghty program was prepared which lasted nearly three hours and then omitted about a fourth. The general opinion of the popple is that the Pleasaat Mills school cannot be beat in literary work. The scholars had the stars and stripes floating above the school house, and no pains was spared that would help to make it interesting. The school house was beautifu’ly decorated with flowers and plants. The school building being too small for the afternoon services they obtained the U. B. church. The teachers express their wishes to have another institute at Pleasant Mills. Should we again have the privilege come and see what we edn do. Yours Truly, gko Dowdkn. The Top Shelf.
