BUFFALO WHEN A BABY.

The following statement in regard to that
city ns il was. has been handed the editor Of
the Saugertrs Telegraph, by Tierck Myer, Jr:
of that village. Things are strangely altered
since then; 4 .
Tho only stcam vessel, in 1925, on the great
chain Of lakes above Niagara Falls, was the
brig Superior, OF 346 tons burden--it required
about ten days for her to make a trip from Buff
falo to Detroi, and back; and one schooner be-
sides, in harbor made up the sum total OF all
tho shipping in sight. II would seem incredi-
bic to those who travelled the lakes and streets
in the lowor part Of Buffalo the past year. that
such magnificent improvements should have
been wrought in the short space OF % years,
but such is tho fact. In 1896, there wero but
four buildings whore Buffalo now stands, tho
first of which was built by Martin Maddaugn,
German, who was great favoric win inc
Indians; and although the small spot of land
which he had settled upon, was sold long
before his death, he was permitted TO occupy
Il till he died, IN 1922. In 1871, Buffalo con-
tanned about 100 houses and 500 inhabitants.
AT that timc, merchandise was transported
from Albany up tho Mohawk river, across tho
Portage to wood Creek, thcn hoaied via Oswe-
90 TO Lewiston, carted around Niagara Falls
to Ft. Schlosscr, thence in boats to Buffalo UP
Niagara River. requiring about four weeks time
from Albany 10 Buffalo, and u cost oil sixty dol
lars per ton. A French gentleman traveller
VIII, visited Buffalo in June, l796, says: I'VE
arrived late at the inn, and after very ndif-
ferent supper. werc obliged to lie on the floor
in our clothes; there were literally nothing IN
the house, neither furniture. ram caudes nor
milk. gv

CAPITAL FOR THE YoUSG.--It is n consola-
ton for z II right-minded young men in this
country, that though they may not be able to
command as much pecuniary capital as they
would wish to commence business for them-
selves, yet there is q moral capital which they
ca n have, that will weigh as much as money
will with people whose opinion is worth hav-
ing. And it docs not take groat while to ac-
cumulate respectable amount of this capital.
1t consists in truth, honesty, integrity, to which
may be added decision, firmncss, courage, and
perseverance,, with these qualities, there are
few obstacles which may not bo oyercomc.-
Friends spring up and surround such young
man almost as if by magic. Confidence flows
out to him and business sccumulates on his
hands faster than no can ask it. And in few
short years such young man is far in advance
of many who started with him, having equal
talents and larger pecuniary means; erc long
our friends stands foremost among tho hon
ored. trusted and loved. Would thatw could
induce every youthful reader to commence
life on the principal that moral capital is the
main thing after alll--[ Boston Investigator.

HORRIBLE PHENOMENA.

Fl Il Is not generally known, says tho Charles

terious vault, in which no one now dares TO
deposit the dead. 1t is in a churehysrd near
the sea side. In 1907, the first coffin that was
placed in il was that of Mri Goddard; in lS-
os. a Miss A. M. Chase was placed in Il; and
in 1872. Miss ID. Chase. At the end OF 1917,
tie vanlt was opened for the body Of Hon: !.
Chase. but the three first coffns were found in
confused state, having been apparently tossed
from their places. Again was tho vault OPEN

effects Of dampness, Of bad smells, and ol

cleanliness keeps up free perspiration, re-
news the air relresheS the blosd, and even
animates- aad enlivehs the mind. Hence
we see that persons attentive to the cleanli-
ness Of their persons and theiA habiiaiions,
sse generally more healthy, and less exposed
TO disease Than those who live in filth and
nasIiness; and il may, moreover be re-
marked, thai cleanliness brings with it,
throughout every Fasi of domestic discipline,
