a writer in the Record of The Times
says; Much attention has been bestow-
ed and capital expended upon railroad
communications westward by north
ward routes. Wilkcsbarre and William
sport are upon the same parallel of lati-
tude, and but eighty miles apart, by
the route proposed. The highest nec-
essary grade Is twenty five feet to the
mile. And this is the maximum grade
of the =. & Il. II. IL. between William

Are not these simple facts worthy of
consideration ? Another fact Is signiil.
cant of an inviting market for anthra-
cite, by this route. Large trains of
empty freight cars are going wc5t daily
from Williamsport, to bring the grain,
flour, bacon, beef cattle, and swine, of
the West TO market. These trains can
carry coal ut low freights. Vessels
bringing these heavy commodities to
the Eastern lake ports are now obliged
to purchase ballast for their return
rips. How cheaply can these ca rry
coal TO the further West! We need not
argue that anthracite finds market in
the regions Of bituminous coal, facts
settle this question. The importance
of this short link in so vast conncc-
tion should enlist the earnest and liberal
cooperation of our citizens in its imme-
diate construction. BY this route in

THE annual cry about MAD DOGS /:

THE annual cry about MAD DOGS is
again taking possession of the news.
papers. Whether an authentic case of
hylrophobia ever occurred in this coun-
try is much doubted. However this
may be, it is very sure that dogs are no
more liable to the diseases which fright
on people into the idea that they have
an attack of hydrophobia in cold than in
warm weather. In fact, in hot coun-
tries, the disease Is scarcely known. If
a dog becomes sick for any reason,
and especially in warm weather, he is
very likely to froth at the mouth, for
this is his only means Of perspiration--
in other words, that which passes
through the pores of the skin OF human
beings and of most animals, can only
pass from the dog through his mouth.
This induces frothing, which is too often
at once taken as evidence of hypropho-
bia by nervous people, and alarm mag
niles the trouble until madness is im-
agined.
The cruel and senseless practice OF
muzzling dogs, so often resorted to by
municipal authorities, would drive hui
man beings to madness if practiced up.
on them, but the helpless dog usually
manages to bear 1t with equanimity
We suspect that more real good would
be accomplished ifsuch authorities were
muzzled instead of the dogs.
There is much more danger from cats
in this regard, than from dogs-a hun
dred TO one. 1t would seem to bo the
part of prudence, therefore, to apply
the muzzling practice to them instead
Of to the less dangerous animal

AN exchange very appropriately re.
marks that every citizen of town
ought to be interested in building it up.
Every capitalist of a town ought to use
his means in stimulating some wealth
producing industry, Tho man who in
vests his money in an establishment
that makes plows, thrashers, reapers,
mowers, paper, hubs, spokes, shingles,
wooden goods, etc, is local benefactor.
There is 10 mistake about this. All
such enterprises naturally stimulate the
growth and add to the wealth of the
communities in which they are estab-
lished. Every dollar kept at home has
its advantages, more or less, for every
citizen. The most wealthy and pros
porous cities and towns in the world are
those that work on the cooperative
plan-that aim to build up their own
merchants, manufacturers, mechanics,
laborers, etc. Every cent diverted from
home is so much taken from home con.

extent, the ability Of homo men to meet

For the Columbia,
4 Turnout nj Benton.


Scarcely had tho excitement of the
church festivities at Benton passed
away, when it was revived by the Odd
Fellows "turn out" which took place
on Saturday last, and though the unfa-
vorable wealth er interfered much with
their arrangements, yet it was decided
success. They formed in front of their
hall in usual order, and marched to the
church, the members being in full re-
gala, and the lines graccd by a large
number of "Rebeccas' with their neat
and pretty collars, the procession made
quito a display. The services at the
church opened with singing by the
"Order," and after making very ap.
propriate prayer, Rev. Mr.. SPEAR de-
livered very excellent address upon
the object and uses of Odd Fellowship.
Rev. Mr.. DAY followed with spicy
development of the claims and princi-
pies of the Order, proving them by facts
and illustrating tn en- by many mirth
provoking anecdotes, gathered from his
twenty years experience of their use
fulness. Mr.. KNAPP spoke of the re
cent organization of the Lodge at Ben
ton, being less than six months ago,-o
the increase of its members until il
counts nearly sixty-of the encouraging
prospects before them, and closed the
services at the church, by few remark:

They returned to the hall where foul

thing that could satisfy the hungry, or
tempt the feeblest appetite, all got VI
in style that was credit to all con
cerned, and must have been unexcep
tional to the most fastidious. Tho "fcl-
lowship" of the Order was demonstrat

History OF THE WAR IN EUROPE.
The National Publishing Co. of Phil
adelphia, have just issued a very valua-
bic history of the late War between
Germany and France, from the pen of
one Of our most popular writers, Mr..
JAMES d. MCCADE, Jr.
In large volume of 500 octave pages,
the author tells wonderful story-all
the stranger because of its truth. He
tells Of battles which have shaken Eu-
rope to its centre, and the consequences
of which, even we of the Western
World must feel of patriotism, hero.
ism, military skill and statosmanship,
never surpassed in history. The author
writes with the weight and force of
truth, and the great merits Of his book
are its reliability and strict impartiality
The book is complete in every par
ticular. 1t describes the causes of the
war, and the events which preceded it ;
the opening campaign, and the first re-
verses of the French the effect Of these
reverses upon the French people; the
| frantic effort to rescue the beaten army
and the terrible disaster of Sedan; the
capture of the Emperor Napoleon, and
an entire army; the Revolution in
Paris; tho rise and formation of the
Republic; the flight of the Empires:
from Paris; the siege and surrender o
Strasbourg and the frontier fOrtresses o
France; the triumphal advance of th'
German armies to Paris; the efforts o
Bazaine to escape from Metz, and thC
final surrender of his army; the invest
ment and siege Of Paris; the detailed
history Of this great siege; its plans
sorties, battles, successes and failures
the course of events in the bcleagureC
city, given in the form of full diary
Of the events Of the siege; the cam
paigns on the Loire, and in other por
tions of France the peace negotiations
the surrender Of Paris, and the treaty
the naval history Of the war; the diplo
matte history on both the German and
French sides; the history of the forma
tion of the great German Empire tn
proclaiming Of King William Emperor
and the realization of German unity
the events Of the civil war and secont
siege Of Paris, its terrible scenes of blood
shed and vandalism, with minuteness
graphcness and brilliancy, which leaves
nothing to be desired. No intelligen
person can afford to be uninlormed a
to these events which have left so dec
an impression on the world history
aud few will fail TO read this splendi'
work; or, having, read it, to endors
it as the Standard American History G
the War.
In this age of sensational literature
we cannot too highly commend thi
brilliant and thoughtful narrative to on
readers. The book is handsomel,
bound, and illustrated with 100 map;
portraits, battle scenes, and views {
the principal localities connected wit
the war. No expense has been spare
by the publishers to make it worthy G
the support Of the public, and we pre-
dict for it an immense sale, especial
as its low price brings it within th
reach of all. 1t is published in bot
English and German, sold by subscril
tion only, and the publishers wan
agents in every county.

WE see by our exchanges, that the
latest new scheme for swindling farm
ers is on the tapis. The article now
offered is a wrought iron plow point,
tittingintoa a hollow square, the economy
ofwhich is wonderful. Those that have
been bitten find that wrought iron points
cost more apiece than entire shares of
cast iron. AS these plow point swim
dlers are understood to be making q
hurried sweep through the country,
papers desirous of saving their patrons
pockets will direct attention to this
swindling scheme. 1t cost the farmers
Of the West about two hundred thous
and dollars last year.

EVERY man that advertises not only
lets the public know the fact of his hav.
ing certain articles for sale, but also
makes it plain that he is anxious to
please the public, awake to the move
ments of trade, alive to the progress of
his day and generation, aud that those
who deal with him arc doing business
with man who "faces the music.n
Advertising judiciously done always
pays, and the newspaper that is sure of
being read in many hundreds of fami-
lies is the best to advertise in; the news.
paper that goes into every family and
is usually read by every member Of it.
y mere advertising sheet Is worthless
because not read and seldom looked at.
The advertisements in n regular news
paper arc read because they form part
of the news each week in which every.
body feels an interest. Advertisers feel
Il possibility, too, in what they put
in these that they do not feel when they
patronize some cphomcral mode that
has no reputation to sustain. To advcr.
tise by means of "dodgcrs'-small bill.
served at each house-is good mode
in conjunction with the weekly paper
but only in such conjunction, for other
wise the dodgers would seem to circulat,
privately what they would not say t,
the public. The true secret of extenslv,
business is extensive advertising in tn,
newspapers of the vicinity, close atten
ton to business, and good goods at fai
cash prices.
