it, and cheerfully recommend it to my neighbors

And all the productions of our Farmers Garden

more advantageous than can be had in more dis
tant cities, saving double freightage and two or
three commissions to producers, traders and con-
sumers, and Reliable House, Quick Sales, and

His House is said to be most eligible, ample ac-
commodations, airy, and finely adapted to the
sale Of Home Productions, and the preservation
of perishable fruits.
AS the Peach World will be pressing, and the
sale immense, it may be well that those who wish
the services of this House should make previous
engagements, as engagements will be many; and
it is desired, so that they may be prepared for
the market; and they will not sell the inferior
productions without the good and the best.

capital of this congregation of brokers and
jObbers is said to consist of twenty shares, at
5000 each. To this company, all the
mineral lands, mill privileges. and prospect
i've town sites in st. Domingo have been
granted. They also have the monopoly of
banking, of building railroads, and of run
niDg steamboats,. They are authorized in
the event of annexation, to survey the whole
pulic domain of the Republic. and to have
one fifth of the same by way of compensa-
ton. This one-fifth they are to locate for
themselves. in any portion of the island se-
lected. With such fine bargain in pro-
spective. il is no wonder the scheme is pushed
upon the attention of the Senate with such
pertinacity. The dividends will be large,
and hence the interest felt in the movement
at the White Houss.-Age.

Hon. SAMUEL GRIFFITH, the newly elects
ed Democratic Congressman from the Mercer
district, is native of Wales, having been
born in that country in 1916 and emigrated
to this country with his father and the other
members of the family in 1918. Ills father
was miner and worked at that business for
a number of years in Mercer county. At
the age of 20 Mr.. Griffith left his fathers
residence for the purpose of acquiring an
education, and in 1912 graduated from Allie
gheny College. at Meadville, with high hon
ors. He became principal of the High
School in Mercer, studied law and was ad-
mitted to the Bar of that place in 1S46. As
a lawyer, Mr.. Griffith occupies front rank
in his profession. In 1s49 he was married
to sister of Gen. HENRY D. Foster, of
Greensburg. Mr.. Griffith's majority in the
district was 769. Two years ago it gave a
Radical majority of 1912. lie revolution
ized his district even more thoroughly than
Mr.. Speer did our own. In this portion Of
Cambria county, where the natives of Wales
apd their immediate decendents form 80
large portion of our population. Welsh
Democrat is regarded as great political Gu
riosity. A Welsh Democratic ConSressntdH
is certainly fiat contradiction of Solomon's
declaration, that there is nothing new under
the sun.
