Garland Grosser place down tho river, says he never saw such an electrical display as that which occurred during tho rain storm last Friday. The lightning played all sorts of zig-zag pranks in tho vicinity of his house, and struck tho ground thirteen times in the neighborhood, although no damage was done to stock or other property. Uncle George Shields also noticed the queer antics of tho lightning at his place, and says it would flush along the barb wire fence for a considerable distance, sending forth a sheet of fire. Farmers and others who attach barb wire to barns and other buildings ought to discontinue the practice. It is a bad one and very liable to result in heavy loss.

The floral decorations were hand some, aud there was a profusion of pretty, sweet-scented flowers forthcoming from the audience for their favorite graduates. Al though uncomfortably crowded remarkably good order was main tained throughout the entire ev ening and marked attention was paid the production of each proud and ambitious member of the class. It was near the midnight hour when the exercises were concluded.

Without exception the efforts of each and every member wore well received and heartily applauded. In order that all of our readers may have an opportunity to judge the respective merits of the different productions we will, beginning with the next issue of tho Skntinkl, publish one or more of the essays and orations each week until completed, pro- "trie Doctors tout mo my cough was incurable.
