WE ARE COMING.

''we are coming, gently coming" said th'
snowflake at its birth,
Coming down 10 cloths with softness and witt
beauty sll the earth;
Forit seems so bare and dreary;
Of it every eye must weary;
| So we hasten at the bidding of the Holy Ous
on High
swe are coming, softly coming" said the mild
caressing rain,
Many months ago we left you, now We come
TO you again;
Very soon shall gladden. mortals
Fragrant buds from Springs gay portals,
For we hasten at the bidding of the Holy One
on High"
I'VE are coming hotly comir e." said the rays
of fiery hue,
TO arouse the hidden seedlings, bring the
wealth Of earth to view;
Birds and blossoms, bright in beauty,
All encourage us to duty,
As we hasten at the bidding of the Holy One
on High"
"Wc are coming, we are coming" said the
breezes of the wood,
.sTo revive exhausted nature, bless the wicked
and the good;
Now We cool the water flowing,
Now we fan the cattle lowing,
As we hasten at the bidding of the Holy One
on High"
We are coming, see US coming" said the
grass, the fruit, the grain,
"Sun has warmed, and rain has strengthened
breezes blown, but not in vain;
Look from land, or sea. or river,
From the gifts to bless the Giver-
We all hasssned at the bidding of the Holy One
on High"

B. p. C. & c. Rail Road Company

Articles of agreement have been filed
at the office of the Secretary of State

Now that the road is located through

Killbuck somewhere between this and
Holmesville. We understand that A
Wolgamot has offered fue acres of land
for depot. From what we have heard
considerable stock can be raised. A
meeting should be called Immediately
to see what could be done. The people
in the northern part of the county ar,
working hard for it. Let us not be be-
hind in this matter.

A Sad Accident.

A distressing accident occurred mile
or two above town, on Tuesday, by which
one of our old and respected citizens
Mr.. George Schamp, was instantly kill
ed. He was walking upon the railroad
track in the direction from which the
train was approaching. The old gentle
man was entirely deaf, and walked very
much stopped. The engineer first MOTTO
ed him when about two hundred yards
distant, walking clear of the track. When
the train was but two or three rods from
him he stepped into the track and was
struck almost instantly, and thrown
from the track. The upper part of the
head was mangled, the skull bone being
parted. No other marks were apparent
The train was stopped and the lifeless
body brought to town and removed to
his house.

Coshocton Agency.

We will pay premium to the Trus-
tees of any township in Holmes county
of full set of Iron Road Scrapers, to
be used on the public roads in their
townships, which sends us the largest
number of orders for Reapers and
Mowers during the season of 1871.
Scrapers to be delivered at Millersburg

having had twelve years experience in
examining and dealing in Reapers and

Problem Extraordinary.

Suppose a man and girl were mar
ried; and-which is of course, imposs-
ible-that, at the time of the hymeneal
contract, the man was thirty-five years
old, and the girl five; which makes the
man seven times as old the girl. They
live together until the girl is ten years
this makes him forty years old, and
four times as old as the girl; they live
until she is fifteen, the man being forty
five-this makes the man three times as
old; they still live until she is thirty
years old-this makes the man sixty,
only twice as old. And now, as we
haven't time to work it out, perhaps
somebody will be good enough to tell
us how long they would have to live to
make the girl as old as the man.

Puzzle.
The Fashions.

Gipsy bonnets quite take the lead of
other styles and are made in colors to
harmonize with the costume with W hich
worn. Bonnets for promenade and
church are of the darkest, richest colors
in the costume, and the shades of the
bonnet should approach each other very
nearly. The Scotch bonnets of velvet
are very stylish. Lace for bonnets is
less used than ribbon. Hats are likely
to remain in fashion for some time to
come, in some form or other, and bon
nets will bear some resemblance to
them.
In collars, the linen with deep turned
down points in front and edged across
the ends with Valenciennes lace is a
pretty style. The newest linen collars
turn down all around, being quite shall
low in the back, and gradually widen
ing the back, and gradually widening to-
ward the front, where they are two
inches deep. They are worn with any
kind OF fancy tie of fringed silk folded
narrow in the back and tied in front in
a loose sailor knot.
The neck of the dress is not cut low
when collar is to be worn with it. A
great deal of distinction is given to the
high bodies of rich silk dresses by the
collars of Valenciennes lace and fine
embroidery worn with them. Ruches
of tulle or simple ruffies of lace are
pretty.
Chignons seem to be entirely displaced
by chataleine braids. They are worn in
long loops, descending low upon the
head, touching the neck and soiling the
collar. 1t is style that is becoming to
nearly every one, although there is no.
thing prettier than nicely arranged
chignon, which has had, however, q
most disastrous effect upon the hair.
Buttoned boots are still worn, but the
very latest styles of walking-boots have
curved sides, and are laced, having pref
ty and stylish Empress" heels attached.

Singular.

Jack Martin, an aged and well known
citizen of Gambler, met with singular
accident last week. He was drawing
water from a well about fifteen feet
deep, when he slipped on the ice, and
fell head first TO the bottom. There was
about three feet of water in the well. A
neighbor, who saw the fall at once went
down after him, and he was got out
alive, and with only few cuts and
bruises of not a serious character.

Early Indulgence of lppetita.


Parents should ponder well on the
danger of an early and capricious in
dulgence of the appetites and imagin-
ary wants of their children. Repeti-
ton soon becomes habit, and habit
once formed, even in childhood, will Of
ten remain during the whole of after
life, acquiring strength every year, un-
til, at last, it sets all laws, human and
divine, at defiance. Let parents, who
yield to the cries of their children fol
dainty and promiscuous food, or who
allow them to torment domestic animals
or to strike their nurses, or to raise the
hand against any person, consider well
on the consequences. The moral effects
of pampering the appetites of children
are most melancholy. Is the mother
afraid of an explosion of passion, bribe

Local Papers.

An exchange gives the following in
structions for making and supporting a
good local paper, and it suits SO well
that We publish it entire, and commend
it to our readers.
The first step is to subscribe and pay
in advance yourself. This you can easily
do. The next is to encourage and per-
suade your neighbors and friends to 60
and do likewise. This will help to sup
port your local paper.
Whenever you have anything to sell,
if You are in trade, or following any
mechanical pursuit depending on the
public for patronage-advertise in the
local paper. These local advertisements
are much more interesting reading mat
ter than people think. They give a
business aspect to the paper, and render
vital aid in its support.
Get your letter heads, notes and re-
ceipts printed. 1t is a nice and orderly
course of business, and helps to support
the local paper.
This much on the subject of support
ing the local press. The next thing is
to make the local paper interesting.
If you can learn any extraordinary
occurrence-send word to the printer.
When you get into the spirit of wri-
ting-if you can write short, spicy
pungent articles, do it-and send them
to the printer-they help make up the
paper.
If the printer should happen to differ
with you sometimes, and throw out your
article don't get mad and stop your
paper Try again.
To pick up the paper and lay it by the
side of some city weekly, made up Of
the 'offar of daily issue, and sneer al
the comparative size of the two, does
not sustain your local paper. The large
papers are full of stuff you don't cart
for.
Reader, will you please think of these
suggestions and see if you can not de
something more than you are now doing
to sustain your local paper.
