HOUSEHOLD GooDs BuRNT.-Dr. d.
Newoomb, while removing from this
place to New Hartford, last week,
met with q severe loss In the purn-
ing Of all his househould goods.
IL appears that last Friday when
the DIR. was ready to load his goods
ON board the cars, there vas
nothing that could be given him bat
an open stock car and 1t his request
they were loaded on 10 that and
shipped at his own risk, which will
In all probability prevent him from
obtaining pay for his goods.
The car was placed I'm the train
close to the engine and the wind be-
ing high, sparks were blown on to
the cotton mattresses aud in a few
minutes and before the fire was dis
covered the goods were all ablaze. 1t
is a severe loss to his family, M all
the little household mementoes,
which had been accumulated in q
number OF years were consumed In
the devouring flames.
As the car WINS placed too close 10
the engine 1t is thought that damages
may yet be secured, ding
the goods were receipted for at his
own risk.
STRANGERs.-We notice ON our
streets the present week an unusual
number Of strangers. They are peo-
pie from all parts Of the East and
they are hooking for q locality 10 set

Ing their way leisurely through our
streets, looking first In one direction
and then In another. we are too fire.
quently reminded of am apparent
want In our city-the want Of more
care and attention 10 show them
around. 1t il an admitted fact that
the location Of our city and the gen.
eral character Of our people. are great
recommendations to strangers, but
this Is not sufficient; kind word In
season will do more than all these to
induce men Of capital TO settle among
us. We Deed an organization for
this purpose In Cedar Falls, that
strangers may be sought out, taken
by the hand and made at home
among US.
Only those who have travelled
among strangers can truly appreciate
kind words or little attentions that
cost nothing but little time and a
little care. People, young and old.
should be made ut home among us.
A noted writer once said that 1.-THE
worth Of State i'm the long run, ID
the worth Of the people composing
It." and the Same will apply with
equal force to towns and cities. That
worth ID made up by the friendly
spirit. hospitality and enterprise OF
the people. Shall we not have an
organisation for the purpose Of look
ing after strangers. We throw out
the suggestion, fellow-citizens. Act
upon 1t IL you would have our city
more prosperous.

EAsrER.-An exchange says "the
first Council of Nice, held In the year
325, decreed that the feast Of Easter
should be celebrated on the Sunday
following the full moon, which falls
on the 2lst of March, or on the days
following till the 18th day Of April.
Hence Easter can be no later than
the 25th OF April, nor earlier than the
ed day of March. This year full
moon falls on the eth Of April; Civ
Ing US Easter next Sunday"
That settles the point a. TO how
Easter comes, but It does not explain
why II came to be the anniversary
for eating eggs. There II something
egg-traordinary about that which We
cannot xpIain. Will some one who
can remember back towards the ris-
ing OF the sun please volunteerus the
information.

Seymour and Blair Forever.
.'- ~ = --~-~oS~--~~~~~---~- ''
The jollifcation and ratification of
the nomination Of Seymour and Blair
eliminated last night in magnificent
display, the like of which has never
before been witnessed in Columbia.
For the past two weeks, the Commit
tees-and, we may say, the citizens
generally-have been on the qui viue,
and men who know what the word
'swork" means, in its full sense, put
their shoulders to the wheel, with
the earnest determination to make
one strong pull for the old, time
honored and trusted Democratic
party.
Without disparaging other parties
who were instrumental in getting up
the demonstration, we deem it q
matter of justice to mention Messrs.
A. Palmer, 81. Beard, John McKen-
zie, Wearn & Hix, M. A. Shelton,
John Meighan, J. T. zealy and W.
T. Walter, as being the principals.
A programme was decided upon,
and the different Ward Committees
bestirred themselves. Many of the
buildings on the line of march, of
the procession, were brilliantly and
tastefully illuminated, and the pro-
cessionists, by their cheering and
other demonstrations, showed an
evident desire to give credit wher-
ever it was justly due.
Nickerson's Hotel was beautifully
decorated with transparencies, and
burning tar barrels, in front of the
building, lent additional attractions.
Mr.. Palmer's store was graced
with an immense banner, bearing the
inscription, in mammoth letters,
Seymour and Blair" surmounted
by monster flag.
Messrs. Hope advocated "Hope on,
Hope ever, for Seymour and Blair"
Other buildings were decorated, but
the prevailing epidemic" was "Sey-
mour and Blair"
The incessant ringing of bell,
with peculiar dinnerish sound, at
tracted attention. It was attached
to u vehicle on which was o magnifi-
cent transparency-conceived in the
fertile brain of Mr.. Richard Wearn,
and carried out by the artistic pencil
and brush OF his partner, Mons. Hix;
the frames, etc., improvised by
Messrs. Kirk and Purse. This cAef
d'@uvre presented four sides-sur-
mounted by revolving turret. On
the sides were life-size half-pictures
of the Democratic candidates for
President and Vice-President-Sey

election of Seymour and Blair. The
