THE report that the Light Guards were to have a target practice op near Monninger's, on Thanksgiving day, caused consternation among the people of the north end, but tbe boys didn't go up, and tbe excitement was allayed.

Home ten years ago be was sent to the penitentiary tor robbing a man. We met him at IndlanspoUs, en route to the State's prison. Said he: "I intend to come back and be a better boy the rat of my life." But be didn't. Kver since ho ha* been more of a curse than a benefit to sxHety.

THE*crtenaive alterations in tbe base ment of the Congregational oburoh are abont oompleted, and all are so well pleased with tbe new order of things that tbe ladies propose to celebrate tbe event next Thursday evening witb monster Social.

IN getting ready for church to-morrow, don't be in a hurry if you do not arrive until after tbe commencement of the service your arrival will be more conspicuous and attract more special attention than if you were on time. After you get seated try and get asleep, as tbe minister will be pleased with quiet auditors. After church stop in the aisles or door and salute all your frienr's, and extend your acquaintance no one is in a hurry to leave. Be sure to step on all of tbe trailing dresses be fore you, thereby making your exit less noiseless.

A CHANGE was made this week in the well town firm of Wright A Kauman, grocers on the corner of Main and Seventh streets—Mr. Peter Kauffaaan selling bis interest to Mr. James King, formerly or Yermillion county but tor many years in tbe wholesale grocery trade of Cincinnati. W« shall miss Mr. Kanffaman from this wide awake firo, but at the same time welcome Mr. King, who will bring'his family here and make this city bis future home. Speaking of this change the Express points this suggestive moral:

Mr Wright and Mr. Kauffrnan are both ot them able business men, vigilant and attentive to every branch of their trade. Tbore are others who work -wen aa bard as tbey: yet who do not seem to rise to such success. Why 1s t? The flies ot the city newspapers record tbe answer. They advertise 1

CHARLES PJUTCHARD, brother of tbe Jounty R« order met with a terrible and fatal accident on Wednesday. In company with Edward Gllkerson and William Wiidy, he was hunting quails, south or the city. Pritcbard and Wildy sat down to rest. Soon after, hearing a report of Qilkersen's gun, bcth sprang up. Pritohard, while in a stooping position, grasped his gun with tho muzzle toward him. It issuppo9ed tbe hammer caught in the K«UW» causing a discharge of the gun. The contents of the barrel entered the lower abdomen, passing through and tearing away two or three inches of the spine. His companions immediately procured a spring wagon and brought him to tbe residence of M. B. Harrison, his brother-in-law, where he died in about an hour. Young Pritcbard was twenty five years of age, very populur among his young associates, possessed gf good business faculties, and gave promise of beoomlng a useful man. lie was born and raised near Pralrieton, where his parents now resjde.

OOR neigh oortown of Farmers burg •nee boasted one of the best conn try

schools in this vicinity. This was in the days of Prof.Crawford. Times baveobang ed sadly down there. Tbeoonditionofthe school is a disgrace to a civilised community. One of our cUisens, wbo has been In that vicinity tor several weeks, the bearer of a request that Tbe Mail, which circulates largely in that vicinity, touch up" tbe trustees—all other effbrls in that direction having failed. The embassador informs us that an attempt is made to beat the room with a small box stove the top is broken and is partially covered with a plow share. Wben tbe lire is stirred the grate fells out, and coal smoke fills tbe room. The partition door Is off the hinges, and the outside door, for want of a fastening Is (trapped with a boar.u The stops are out of the windows, and occasionally a gust of wind causes tbe sash to come in witb a crash. On the first oold day last week the children, wrapand gloved hovered abont tbe miserable apology of a stove—some went ont to the neighbor's houses to study and two larger girls used tbe oomPortable depot waiting room far a study. We are told that this condition of things Is dimply tbe remit of carelessness, no one of the trustees seeming to take a*i !nterest,and all apparently foeliqg that what is everybody's business Is nobody's basins**." It Is to bs hoped that attention having been called in this public manner, that the exoellent lady teacher and tbe children will be made comfortable tor the winter.
