A Trustee Reaiens.
J,
Prof. Meserve resigns as a trustee
of the Institution for Deaf, Dumb
and Blind. It appears from his
letter that he is a life long republi
can, that he was appointed by Gov.
Garr, and that he now retires be
cause the places in the Institution
are given to reward politicians,
rather than to those of individual
efficiency and high moral character.
It does seem that never before in all
the scrambles for office, was there
such a hungry horde. Even re
publicans are resigning because a
political pull beats fitness for a place
in our State institutions. Burling

A Narrow soape.
Thursday afternoon, little Eugene
Cannon, a tot not more than 9 years
of age. was driving his father's
family horse on Spring street, when
his horse was frightened by the ap
pearance of a runaway gray horse.
Little Eugene saw that his horse
was going to run, and realizing that
he could not manage him, the little
fellow jumped from the vehicle.
The horse dashed off at a break
neck speed, and when reaching
Burrage's store, the phaeton struck
an electric light poll and was al
most competely demolished. The
horse was badly cut on the legs and
body.
