the fattering manner in which you have

proud of them. If praise be due US, we

they have nobly and faithfully executed

would say, your conduct toward us, and
the feeling you have expressed has cast a
pleasure around the memory of the duties
we have performed and the days we shall
pass, as soldiers, in your State, that shall

Again, gentlemen, return our thanks,
and hope we may soon meet again to re-
new the friendship and friendly relations
of the soldiers life.
Very respectfully,
w. A. PIERCE, Captain,

Mr.. EDIToR:-Please publish the fol

There have been more hogs sold in
our market this season gross than dress

ers that 1926 gross for hogs weighing
800 to 400 pounds will bring as much as
the same hogs at 81 dressed, by deduct.

and twenty FIVE cents for hogs weighing
$50 pounds gross is equal to 81 nett, by
dedueting so pounds from the hog.

Pennsylvania Coal Company, to recover
large amount of tolls claimed to be due
to the plaintiffs under an agrcemen. with
the defendants for eplarging the plain
tiffs canal for joint use-which 10 the
aggregate involves upwards of 81 900,
600. The evidence in the case was ia
ken before referee, and in documentary
form amounts to some 1875, 900 folios, aud

is still in progress, counsel on each side

DREss-THE LENGTH OF THE SKIRT.
DIR. Do Lewis in his talks about health,
says great many good things, aud gives
much advice which might be followed
with profit. la recent article on the
length of Ladies Dresses, he discourses
In this wise:
The most earnest efforts looking toward
dress reform have had reference to the
length of the skirt May | be permitted
word on this point? | think one Of wo-
mans first duties is to make herself as
beautiful as possible. \ long skirt-a
trail even-is in fine taste Among the
dress features of the stage, none is 80
beautiful as the trail. The artist is ever
delighted to introduce it in his pictures
of woman. | confess admire it, and
tina, wish it could be again made COM
mon on all dress OCCASIONS. Fer the draw
ing room it is superb. 1t is saidtha ex.
pense and inconvenience are involved, |
ask, are they not in paintings, statuary,
etc ! When We meet on dress occasions,
l cannot see why We may not introduce
this exquisite feature.
For church and our usual afternoon
sittings, skirts which nearly touch the
floor seem to me in good taste, and every
way proper; but, for the street, when
wet, snowy, or muddy, for tie active
duties of housekeeping, which involve
running up stairs, for the gymnasium,
etc, etc, need not argue with those
whose brains are not befoeged by fashion
that the skirts should fall to about the
knee. If Miss Fastiiious suggests tina,
the adoption Of such costume would ex.
pose the limbs, you have but to point ,c
what may be seen in wet weather on the
streets. The attempt to lift long skirts
out of the mud displays the lower extrem
tiles much more than the shortest skirts
Nothing is more ptiable than this stree
exhibition, except, perhaps,a womah's at
tempt to 90 up stairs with candle in on
hand, a baby in the other, aud a bowl O
cat, ip tea in tn. other.
