THE enlargement and re6tting Of Mr. Oat-
mau's grocery establishment is almost COM
plete, and he can soon boast of the finest
business stand in Ebensburg. The adoption
of the cash system and the reduction of his
prices from to 10 per cent, has added 30
rather than diminished his sales, and he has
determined to give himself plenty Of room to
make grand display and do larger trade
than ever. Mr.. Oatman is deserving of an
iuc eased patronage commensurate with his
increased facilities for doing an immense
business on a fair and reliable basis.

Preservation of Fence-POsts!

ANY kind of timber, when employed
for fence posts, will be more than twice
as durable if allowed to become thorough
~ seasoned before being set in the ground
The durability of seasoned posts may be
promoted, so as to make them last an age,
by the application of heavy coat of coal
tar to the portion buried in the earth, and
few inches above the surface of the
ground. Some farmers set the ground-end
In hot tar, and let it boil fifteen minutes.
When cool, cover with Liar, thickened
with ground slate or ground brick. The
boiling stitfens the albumen and causes
the pores to absorb tar. The coating pre-
vents the action of moisture.
But this treatment of green posts would
do very little good, and, perhaps, mischief
A boiling IN lime water is also beneficial.
Timber that is first water-logged and then
well dried, lasts well; because the water
soaks out the acid that hastens the decay.
Others contend that the better way is to
season the post well before setting it; and
when the post-hole is filled within ten
inches of the surface of the ground, 10
apply heavy coat of tar and fill up with
earth.
AS fence-posts always decay first near
the surface of the ground, it is only neces-
sary to protect the post few inches above
the surface, and about foot below it.
The timber begins to decay, usually, on
the surface of the posts. Therefore, il
the surface can be protected by some anti
septic material, posts will last lifetime

Too Finely Drawn.

THE Hamilton (Nev.) Inland Enapsre
tells the following good story: mining
claims sent to the East for sale are usually
accompanied with well-written reports,
setting forth in glowing colors the great
merits of the property offered. Lately
we heard of case where well known
mining expert, and as well a collator of
news, was engaged to report on Treasure
Hill mine, which was to be put on the
Chicago market Everything else being
in readiness, we local put in his biggest
ticks on his report, and succeeded, doubt
less, in getting up the most voluminous
and highly colored document that ever
descended from Pogonip. In due season
the papers were dispatched to the agent
in the lake city, who, unfortunately, was

He wrote to the owners of the property
here that to sacrifice it for the nominal

reason had dismissed negotiations, which

early sale of the property. In fact, he

The Last Crack of the Plantation Whip.

THE harangues of Democratic Sena-
tors on the subject of admitting negro,
duly elected by reconstructed State, to a
seat in the Senate, are doing fine work
for the Republican party of future years
Not only does the candidate for Senatorial
honors patiently hear these impotent
gnashings of teeth on the part of defeated
and spiteful rebels and their allies, but the
future voters hear it also. The revilers of
the negro have made their record in the
hearing of the race they have oppressed,
degraded, and insulted. As the Demo-
cratic party gained the abiding good will
OF the emigrant population of the United
States by its advocacy of liberal naturaliza-
ton laws, so the Republican party has for
ever joined to itself the votes of the race
it has liberated and ennobled. Had the
Democracy been little wiser since the
war, it might have conciliated at least a
portion Of this now large element of po-
litical power But that is now impossible.
To the very last the organs and orators of
that vile, treacherous and wicked party
have pursued the negro with their per-
solutions, sneers and insults When the
negro had no political power, they could
insult him with impunity. Times have
changed, however. The contest between
the people, and the old, despotic, mis-
named Democracy will not be so close as
heretofore. And for the fate of infamy
and defeat which is before it that party
may blame its own vindictive, arrogant
ana short-sighted leaders. Toledo Blade.

Pollen for Bees.

GIVE all bees flour for pollen as soon as
they begin to fly in the spring it is as
essential for. them to have it as honey.
They will live on it and water for weeks,
if the weather is so they can fly out every
few days, if they have no honey. Pollen
and water constitutes the chief food the
queen eats when she is laying eggs A
queen in well stocked hive, as to honey
and bees, would not lay but few, if any,
eggs if she did not have pollen. Hence,
the necessity to supply the bees with it in
early spring before they can gather it
from natural sources. As soon as bees
begin to gather it, they feed their queens
with certain prepared food, which is
constituted chiefly of pollen and water.
Bees do not feed their queens unless they
are laying, or they wish them to- They
then tend her regularly, and offer her
food every few minutes. CAT other times
the queen helps herself to food as any
other bee.) Hence, the necessity OF fur
nishing them with a substitute for pol
len, SO as to have them strong and popu-
Ious early. For herein lies the secret of
Bookkeeping. Take eats, rye or Duck-
wheat, (either will do), prefer oats; get
it ground fine-it need not be bolted;
feed in baskets, as they are handy to set
out or take in at night, or if it should
storm they should be set in a warm,
sheltered place out of the wind. To get
the bees to find it readily, drop few
drops of coil of anise" near the basket
and it will attract them to it.-Cor NEus-

A Year Ago.

A year ago to-day, Andrew johnson
abdicated his throne and started for Green
Vile giG Baltimore, denouncing the ad-
ministration that was to succeed him, and
hurting parthian execrations over his
shoulder as he went.
A year ago day, General Grant took
the helm of state without any ostentatious
trumpeting, and only announced that he
would try to reduce the national debt, and
do his simple duty in all things.
A year ago today, there went up ma
ignant cry of rage from the baffied De-
mocracy; declaration that Grants cleo
ton meant national distress, and savage
prediction that it would be followed by
plumber of the people, official dissolute-
ness, and an increase of the debt.
A year Las passed. One-quarter of
Grants term has expired. Has a single
one of the predictions of the flatulent
oracles of the Democracy been realized :?
Has the American Samson been shorn of
any OF his locks? Has personal liberty
been narrowed down? Have popular
franchises diminished? Has our honorf
among the nations suffered any decline?
Every one of the modest promises of
the incoming President has been redee M
ed. Our revenue for the year is twenty
six millions greater than in 1868, and our
national expenses are sixty millions less
Our debt has been largely reduced. Our
taxes also are about to be diminished at
those points where they are the heaviest
burden to industry. The national credit
is improving month by month and week
by week, under the unconditional and
unanimous assurance of the Republicans,
" The debt shall be paid" Credit is the
blood of the national life, and ours is as
Stunning new color day by day, judging
by the infallible pulses that throb in Wall

verdict rendered to-day is-Grant's first

IHEreason of the superiority of the watches
made in this country by machinery over the
foreign watches made by hand, is selfevident.
1t is an impossibility that the hand should be
controlled and guided with the exactness of a
machine. In Europe the different parts of a
watch are made by different persons, perhaps
hundred miles apart. One whole family,
father, mother and children, are all engaged in
the process of making one ofthe five wheels of
watch another family make another wheel.
and so on. These different parts are purchased
by the Watch-makers, and the watch is put
together and made ready for the market Per-
haps it is sent to this countsy, and after being
sold, part becomes broken, and the watch is
useless. 1t can be taken to q Matchmaker.
and he can make By hand a new piece, but the
cost of repairing will be great, and where the
parts have passed through so many different
hands in their construction and repair, it will
be miracle if they are all made with that ac-
curacy and adjusted to each other with the
nicely that is indispensable to the correct run
ming of q watch.
In contrast to this crude and disorganized
system of manufacturing, the mind turns with
relief to the method we have adopted in this
country, as developed at the factory of the Ma
tlonal Watch Company, at Elgin, Ill. An i'm
mense building is erected, a corps of the finest
mechanics that can be obtained is EMPLOYED.
A Superintendent of unrivalled inventive
genius is placed in charge. Machines are then
invented and constructed for the manufacture
OF every plate, wheel, pinion and screw used
in watch. The different parts of the factory
are filled up with these machines. Men and
girls are employed to operate them. The
wheels, the pinions and the screws are turned
on out by thousands, every part eractzy alike.
lhese are brought together, under the same
root, made into complete watches, and sent
out into the market. If after purchase, a
wheel breaks, the dealer has but to send to the
factory and purchase its duplicate, and the
watch is as good as new. Surely this brief
comparison is sufficient to convince any re-
hecting person ofthe superiority of the Ameri-
theory and fact The Elgin Watches are sell
ing in all parts of the country, and are recog-
nized by dealers and experts as surprising in
durability and correct time-keeping their
foreign and other competitors.
