Burglars Burgle. On Friday night the store of Hurst Brothers, at Mt. Meridian, was broken into by thieves. There is nothing strange or new in this announcement, as Hurst Bros, have sufiered from these visitations annually or semi-annually for lo, these m any years. On this occasion the thieves forced an entrance through a window, and they appropriated to thei^ own use the jewelry in stock, together, with clothing, hoots and shoes, etc., to the value of about $300. One of the thieves changed his clothes while in the store; leaving his old and much worn suit on the floor, and from the size of the garments he must have been quite a small man these clothes were brought in by Mr. Hurst and left with Sheriff Glidewell, to aid in identifying the thief, if he should be arrested, and Hurst Brothers otter a reward of $100 for the arrest and conviction of the guilty parties.

A special from Lawrenceburg, Ind., says: A mule and a horse belonging to John Billingsley, north of this city, while feeding in the bottom lands, was caught by the overflow of the Ohio and Miami rivers, and forced to take refuge on a little knoll, where they remained for three days and nights, suffering terrible exposure. The mule then started for dry ground. The stretch of water was fully four miles wide, much of it overhead in depth, and the trip necessitated swimming the swiftly-flow-ing current of the Miami river. The mule made the trip in safety, walking and swimming fully fourteen miles. The horse remained on the knoll and died of exposure. Which is Which. The following story is vouched for by the Crawfoidsville Star: “The other day a woman shipped her husband’s remains and a dog eastward on the Big Four railroad. At Crawfordsville she got out of the ladies’ coach at Plum street and raced up to the baggage car and rapped on the door to see how the body and dog were getting along. “How does he seem to be doing?” she asked, with a sob. “Who, the corpse?” was the kindly
reply.
“No, the dog.” “Oh, he’s comfortable like.” “Anybody been sitting on him?” “Who, the dog?” “No, the corpse.” “Certainly not,” replied Dan Don-
novan.
“Does it seem cold enough in there for him?” “For who the corpse?” “No (with some asperity) the dog.” “Yes, I guess.” “Does the jolting affect him much?” “Affect who, madam, the dog or the
stiff?”
No, the corpse.” “I think not. He hasn’t said a
word.”
“Then you’ll keep an eye on him; won’t you?” And she sobbed. “On which; the corpse?” “No, the dog.” Donnovan fell back in a swoon and Postal Clerk Maxwell poured a bucket of water on him.”

For borrowing car fare a Chicago juage discharged a juror, one of the panel in a breach of promise case. When court adjoi’med one evening the juror approached the attorney for the the plaintiff and asked him for a quarter, stating that he was without car fare to take him home. The at torney gave him the money. Next morning he, in duty bound, informed the judge and the juror was called into the jiidjro’ij fha.mhers He admitted ho had borrowed the money, and said he intended no harm. “If you needed money,” said the court, “why did you not borrow from one of the jurors?” “They all looked as if they were as poor as I was,” replied the juror, who was fined pay for three days’ service and dropped from the box.

BBPUTY MARSHAL, A. B. WOOD.
M hen such a widely-known public man as A. B. Wood, Deputy Marshal of West Indianapolis, Ind., makes a statement, the world knows that it is true—that he means every word of it. Mr. Wood resides at 81 Marion Avo., West Indianapolis, Ind. He has been cured by the great medicine, Dr. Greene’s Nervura blood and nerve remedy, from utter nervous prostration and exhaustion. He deems the cure most wonderful, and the medicine which cured him a moat wonderful remedy. He is anxions, therefore, to tell the world of his remarkable restoration to health, and to thus lead others to health by
the use of the same grand remedy.
“I had been troubled,” said Mr. Wood, ‘‘for twenty years with nervousness, heart disease and gastric catarrh of the stomach, ending two years ago with a complete pros-
tration, and was taken to my bed.
I was under the care of two eminent phy-
The atari Mag Experience of a Montana Man. Who Still Survives the Shock. Charles B. Hoffman, of Butte, Mont., was standing at the mouth of a mi no not long ago when he was struck by lightning. The thunderbolt, he thinks, first struck the straw hat he was wearing, and It tore a hole in the hat that cut part of the rim. Then it tore hia clothing into shreds and left hiru naked. Both his overalls and the shirt he was wearing presented the appearance of having passed through a sausage mill. Noliody can tell him why he was not killed by the lightning. The bolt, he says, after passing through his hat, struck him on the shoulder and ran the full length of his IkhIv, burning the skin to a crisp on the side and legs. It also cut his left foot on tho side and bottom, lireaking the bones of
the foot.
"My clothes were torn to pieces and thrown from my body,” said Mr. Hoffman to a writer for the New York World, "and my shoes were torn from
my feet.”
He became unconscious ns soon as ho was struck by the lightning and did not revive for an hour and a half. When he regained his senses Hoffman was in great pain and he was confined to the hospital for nine weeks. When Hoffman'sclothing was examined after tho accident it was seen that in many places the lightning had cut the cloth as neatly as if it had been done with a razor. Some of the cuts were long and straight. The lightning took his clothes off quicker than he could have undressed himself, and it threw them in a pile on one side of the track, with his shoes carefully deposited lieside tho pile. The clothes seemed to have been neatly folded until they were examined and found to be a pile of rags. Hoffman's "pants” hail lieen yanked off him without the formality of pulling them over his feet. This seemingly impossible task was accomplished by the lightning first cutting each leg open, and then it appeared to have taken them by the seat and dropped them on tiie coat, and to finish the job by depositing Mr. Hoffman’s straw hat on top of all. After it got through with Hoffman this remarkable streak of lightning ran along a metal track into the (ilengary mine, at the mouth of which he had been working, ran to the end of the shaft, whicli is four hundred

The Pedagogue. Of the times when I used to go to school, We had to follow certain rules. These rules were made by fickle men. Who called themselves ‘‘school masters”
then.
The rules were various we know full well, Such as standing, when we went to spell. Not to whisper, was a rule And tell no tales, outside of school. The pedagogue’s function is to teach And not to "learn ’em” As they used to preach. The highest aim in all his strife To impart true knowledge to the little life That comes hovering around at morning's
light.
In every lesson, he looks within “As a method in me chiVi And a method in the thing,” In each new lesson he must bring The child’s old knowledge to form the ring. All these he must do and many more, Before the child’s with knowledge stored. He tries to reach the powers of mind:— Cognition, feeling and will combined. And gives to each what he thinks best, To advance it, along with the rest. He seeks to teach that higher power Which rules all things to this very hour, In every lesson great or fine To make them conscious of the Creator divine. Of all the professiuns since the birth of time, The pedagogue has stood first in line.
He’s stood the oppressions of time and place , • But has brushed the mist from before his f**" C

Then when man’s race is run, When the pedagogue’s work is done. They will all be sailed te rest; And when the Judgment Day shall come, The Judge will rise and address his Son, Saying the pedagogue is second to none. —A Madison Pedagogue.

The Animals’ Iron Shoes Make Then*
Especially Susceptible.
The horse is easily killed by electrioity. It is popularly supposed that the current, on entering the body, meets with some physiological susceptibility that makes this animal more vulnerable than others to the action of such a current. The London Lancet holds that there is no good ground for this assumption. The explanation lies elsewhere. The hoof, and more particularly its crust and sole, is a good insulator, but the shoe presents to the ground a large metallic contact, and this contact is in connection with metallic conductors in the shape of nails which pierce tho strongest part of the insulation, and afford au easy electrical path into the body. The contact with earth is further improved hy the great superincumbent weight of the animal, and it may often happen that in passing over wet ground the external surface of the hoof and the wet fetlock, ^specially in the ease of untrimmed horses, may become sufficiently wet to form a good surface conductor, and so carry a current directly from the earth to the upper part of tiie body. In this way the snfctv of the natural “resistance” of the hoofsia neutralized. A horse, too, covers more g.-uund than a n.a:; and rr.ir, gvcaLcx ri .k from being in contact with points
apart. Farriers
ought to consider the above well, so as to induce them to tie stow extra care upon tho driving of the nail, to see that it does not penetrate to the

You’ll git my name, and as soon as I go out of here some other smart rascal will come up and ask me how Mandy and the children is, and when I saw my son, the cashier in our bank down to the Corners.
