It now takes two and a half Mexican dollars to buy ono bushel of wheat. How does that sound when Bryan claimed that the price of wheat always followed tho price of silver, and vice versa. UNITED STATES TROOPS, Their March Through Xenia Witnessed By Large Crowds, concluded and she to try names Xeuiana tnis morning witnessed the interesting and novel sight of a body of six hundred United States regular army troops which marched through the city. It was the Sixth U. S.

Infantry, under command of Gol. M. A. Cochrau, who are now on their practice march from Fort Thomas, to Columbus. They passed through here promptly at nine o'clock.

At an early hoar this morning groups of persons assembled on Main street to the coining of tho troops. A couple of bicycle squads passed through some distance in advance and when the main body arrived they were greeted by large crowds lining both sides of Main street. The troops marched through the city headed by the colonel and his staff, all mounted and having a fine military bearing. Then came the regimental band playing a spirited tuue. The six hundred men presented a fine appearance.

They inarched through the city with military step and with a soldierly bearing, making a sight well worth seeing. The rain of last evening had settled the dust and caused a cooler atmosphere, and marching was much more pleasant for the men, all of i'resh and in good A SOOIAL For the Benefit of the Starving People of India, Miss Mary Crawford, of oast of town, ia desirous of doing something to aid in the good cause of saving the lives of the poor, starving men, women and children of India, and she has thought that a social at which refreshments will be sold, might realize a little sum to help. She has, therefore, after consultation with a number of her neighbors aud friends, the Thursday eveniny of next week, September as the date for the social. The place, is her home, Mr. Alex.

Crawford's, miles east of Xenia, on the New Jasper pike. AVe trust that many persona will consider it a pleasure to help Miss Crawford in her noble undertaking. The members of the Sous of Veterans Band of Xenia, have generously tendered their services, free, for the occasion, BO that we will have some good music to help inspire the generous impulses of those who attend. Further notice will bo given, later, as to the nature of the refreshments to be served. As it is likely to bo nice moonlight by that time we trust that many Xenians will arrange to attend.

Drive out and have a pleasant evening. Proceedings of Third Day and Edification In Abundance, LUMBEETON, August 31, '97. Miss Blanche Oglesboo has so far recovered as to bo up and about again. Miss Mamie Peterson, entertained of friends Wednesday at whom seemed spirits. The large wagon train, under command of Quartermaster Atkinson, followed the troops.

The train con- aisted of ten or twelve wagons, piled high with supplies and tents for the soldiers. The troopa camped last night on the Crites farm south of Spring Valley. Near the camp was a small bridge and one battalion held the bridge against the others, making quite a military display while the wagon train crossed. In the evening there was guard mount and band concert, but the rain prevented as large crowd as would otherwise have been in attendance. The troops will go into camp noon to-day at the McClain farm near East Point school house on the Columbns pike, some four miles from Xenia.

This evening there will be another band concert and guard mount and crowds of Xenians will go out to witness the sight of regulars in camp. INDIA FAMINE FUND, Persons who have no better way of contributing tn the India Famine Relief Fund can leave what they wish to give at the GAZETTE office. $250 baa already been sent to Rev. J. A.

McConnelee, (one of the U. P. missionaries who went from Xenia last year) at Rawal Pindi, India, and whatever else is contributed will be acknowledged through the paper, sent to him, and his acknowledgment published. It is often said that the manager of an enterprise who uses only brains is entitled to wages as much as the laborers under him who do the manual work Concerning these wages of "superintendence," William Clark, In the "Fabian Essays." gives an instance of one way on which they may be, and often are, "earned." "A steel rail combination some years ago formed in America. This combination discovered that too many rails were being made and that prices were being cut.

Accordingly one of the Vulcan mill of St. closed, and stood smokeless for years, its owners meanwhile receiving a subsidy of $450,000 a year from the other mills in the trust for not making rails. That is how the owners of the Vulcan mill earned their 'wages of It is need- leas to add that no payment was made to the men for not working" a evening. And now tho report is circulating that Calvin Brice has purchased the S. 11.

It. and will take possession Sept. 1st. The Liberty Township S. S.

Association, will hold the 2nd convention on Sept. 12th, at 2:30 p. in. the Lumberton church. Everybody invited.

There was a pleasant social party at the home of Prof. G. W. Slusher, Saturday evening. Quite a number were present from a distance, and all that were present, speak in praise of the entertainment.

There will be quite a large acreage of wheat sown this fall. With wheat almost $1, hogs, $4 and better, farmers are entering into the business of farming with a that has not been manifest for some years. Rev. Oscar McKay has been invited by the official board, of Maple Corner church, to fill their pulpit each alternate Sabbath for the present year. He has accepted and we congratulate the Maple Corner church.

The death angel has again visited our community, and called another of our old citizens. Mr. Thomas Linkhart, of whose serious illness we made mention last week, passed quietly away at his home near Lumberton, Sabbath at about the noon hour. For more than a week he had been paralyzed, not being able to move or speak. Funeral Tuesday at 10 a.

m. at the church. The bereaved family have the sympathy of the community. The morning's devotions were led by Rov. MacDill.

The music by tho chorus class which was rendered at different times during the day, and which was much enjoyed was under the direction of Mr. Strong, of Sil- vorcreek township. MisaTagg's talk on "First Days of School" was most interesting and valuable. The great secret of power in the school-room is tho showing out of one's real self his individuality. The speaker insisted that teachers bo natural in the schoolroom, that they cultivate correct and pleasing manners, and that they do not gossip about their schools.

Not only is the teacher given to educate the boy bub the boy is given to educate the teacher. The namoflof the one hundred and iiinoiioen teachers who had enrolled, were read that others might be induced to do likewise. Dr. White talked upon the subject of "Oral Instruction." increasing place in the American schools for skillful oral teaching. In order to give an oral lesson there aro certain things that must be observed 1st there must be preparation on the part of tho teacher; 2nd the teacher must see tho natural order or sequence that exists between tho facts to he taught there should be a reproduction of the lesson at the close of the recitation by the pupils; 4th there should be reviow at the opening of the next lesson 5th the lessons branch should constitute a In presenting a subject the teacher should allow very few diversions.

When we properly unite oral instruction with book study we will have a stronger method than the Germans. The great work of the teachers in the secondary schools is to teach tho pnpila how to study the text-book. "Teaching Grammer in the Elementary School" was next discussed by Miss Tagg. She dwelt upon the great importance of teachers using correct English. Useful devices were given by which the child might be led to use more correct English.

Teachers were advised to begin the study of Grammar by imparting to the pupils some knowledge of the history ot the English language. SUnlI, Rachel Maxwell, H. Sayre, F. D. ricott and E.

White gavo another very helpful talk on "Natural Motives." As we were shown yesterday that the desires affect the will and the will prompts the deed, then the pupils must bo led to desires for good knowledge, and future standing, approbation, efficiency, self-control good. In them must bo developed a sense of honor, right and duty. It is our duty to bring ourselves and our school to such that we can appeal to these high motives and discard the artificial ones.

piano solo by Miss Conner OBITUARY, Mra. Mary Dunn was born Dec. 12th, 1816, died August 27th, 1S97, aged 80 years, 8 months and 15 clays. She was married to Martin K. Dunn.

There was born to her one child, who survives her. She leaves the son, five grandchildren and three great grandchildren to mourn her loss. Early after marriage she united with the P. church at Glady chapel, about four miles northwest of Xenia, lived a consistent Christian during the remainder of her life, attending church regularly until age impaired her hearing. She was a good, quiet and generous lady, always ready to lend a helping hand or do an act of charity.

She was a patient sufferer, and said she was willing and ready to go, and expressed a desire that the time would hasten when she could leave this world of affliction and join the innumerable host of the redeemed. was followed by Dr. White's talk on "What Instruction Shall be Given in Connection With Book Study." The problem is how instruction and book study may be skillfully united. Much depends upon the intelligible assignment of lessons. They should be assigned so intelligibly and clearly that the pupil knows what is to be done, and where he may find the desired information upon that subject.

The great majority of pupils never rise in their study above the teacher. The should be faithful, searching and inspiring. After recess Prof. Cox introduced Mrs. Elizabeth H.

In correspondence week in reference to the dinner given S. P. Faulkner and wife, we failed to note that Mr. and Mrs.

Faulkner desire to express their thanks to Mrs. Canby, of Xeuia, for the beautiful present sent them for the occasion. Mrs. Canby could not be present, but remembered them with a fine present, and Jesse Painter did likewise. John St.

John was twenty years old Saturday, aud he was taken to Xenia and held thereuntil about five o'clock, and was then accompanied home by his uncle. When they arrived home he found sixty-five of his young friends, and an elegant supper that his father, C. M. St. John, spared no pains or money in preparing was served, and they had plenty left after all had eaten.

The yard waa lit up with torches and the young folks enjoyed an evening in great mirth. Johnny was completely surprised, but after attaining his normal condition it waa very perceptible that it had not affected his appetite in the least. UNNECESSARY HEROISM. A Connecticut Man's Experience With Substitute Bathtub. One oC those ridiculous situations which at the time bring the cold sweat out on a man's brow and even after remains with him as a source of mirth, occurred to a merchant a few days ago.

He thought he would take a bath, and as his fiat is minus one of the chief requisites for the hath extemporized one out of a small washtub and enjoyed a cooling ablution. He had just concluded and stepped from the tub for the lowel when suddenly the top hoop of the tub burst with a sharp report, and the man saw to his horror that the whole contents of the tub would soon be flooding the floor. At the same moment he thought of the store beueath and the amount of damage the water would do if it ran down through the ceiling. He is a man of quick thought and in a moment he did the only thing possible, threw himself down beside the tub and, clasping his arms around It, held the already fast swelling staves together. He was successful in keeping the water what a situation! He dared not yell, for he was harrdly in a condition to receive callers especially as he knew that all in the block at the time were of the gentler sex, and he realized at ouce that the only thing left for him was to stay In that position until the return of his who was out on a shopping expedition.

Like the hoy who saved Holland, he manfully remained in his most uncomfortable position until relief in the shape of his wife appeared. Then to cap the climax, when he asked her to get a rope or any old thing to tie a-bout the tub, she, after a long lit of uncontrollable laughter, asked him why he didn't carry tub and contents out to the sink room and pour out the water. With a look that froze the smile on her face he did as she said, and without a word donned his cloth- Ing and wandered out into the cold, unfeeling world, a crushed and humiliated Sentinel.

He 'had neither time nor disposition to he trouhled with them." reading lessons should be preceded by vocal drill.

Give much drill on tho rising inflection and articulation. The possession of. a fine voice is a thing of great value in the teacher as the voice has a great influence upon the school. The grammar grades will not improve until there is more attention given to the teaching of reading. In the reading class it is generally better to have the pupils speak of commendable points in each other's reading than to oiler petty criticisms.

Bring the child to know it is a real accomplishment to be a good reader. In a reading lesson each child should receive a due share attention but not an equal share. The following committees were appointed On resolutions, Geo. H. OOURT REPORT, COMMON PLEAS COURT.
