The Oneuinp and Closing of Nails.

1t is no doubt the desire of every one |
that there will soon be change i'm the
time of the arrival and departure of the
mails at this point. As it now is the
train arrives at S 10 when on time. The
mail is ready for delivery generally at
few minutes after half-past eight-from
seven to fifteen minutes being spent in
distributing according to the size Of the
mail. This gives three quarters Of an
hour or more, for delivery and answering
letters before the mail is closed, which
is at half-past nine, and frequently
quarter before ten, which is always the
case when the train is behind time.
What more than this can any one ask !!

go to the Post Office as soon as they
know the train is in, when they know
the mail has not yet been received al

keep up an unnecessary amount O

New SwindIing Dodge.

A new swindling dodge has made its
appearance, and the public are cautions
ed against it. The person whom IL Is
desired to victimize receives hand
somely written circular from ahypothet-
ical gift concert agent, informing him
that he has drawn piano worth 500,
at the late drawing, and requesting the
remittance of the small sum OF 81 to
cover expenses of boxing and express
ing. II the victim bites, he will wait
long and vainly for his $500 piano. The
trick has been piled successfully in some
Western cities, and the public will do
well to pay no attention to such circu-
lars, which will undoubtedC find their
way into this vicinity before long.

Cool Water.

Let a jar, pitcher or vessel used for
water be surrounded with one or more
folds of coarse cotton constantly wet;
the evaporation Of the water will carry
off the heat from the inside and reduce
it to a low temperature. In India and
other tropical countries, where ice can
not be procured, this excellent expedi-
ent is common. Let every mechanic
and laborer have at the place of his
work two pitchers thus provided, and
lids or covers, one to supply water for
the evaporation, and he can always have
a supply of cold water in warm wealth

ted that he had received assurance

defeat Greeley, and would come
back in body and elect O'Conor
who has already consented to be-
come candidate.

A Cheerful Home.

A single word may disquiet an entire
family for whole day. One surly
glance casts gloom over the house
hold; while smile, like a CLEAN OF
sunshine, may light up the darkest and
weariest hours. Like unexpected flow
ers which spring up along our path,
full of freshness, fragrance and beauty,
so the kind words and gentle acts, and
sweet dispositions, make glad the home
where peace and blessing dwell. No
matter how humble the abode, if it be
thus garnished with grace and sweet
ness, with kindness and smiles, the heart
will turn laughingly toward it from all
the tumults of the world, and home, if
it be so homely, will be the dearest spot
beneath the circuit of the sun.
And the influences of home perpetu-
ate themselves. The gentle grace of a
mother lives in her daughters heart af-
ter her head is pillowed in the dust Of
earth; and fatherly kindness finds its
echo in the nobility and courtesy of
some who come to wear his mantle, and
to fill his place; while on the other
hand, from an unhappy, misgoverned
and disordered home, go forth persons
who shall make other homes miserable,
and perpetuate the sourness and sad
ness, the contentious, and strifes, and
railings, which have made their own
early lives so wretched and distorted.
Toward the cheerful home the chill
dren gather Gas clouds and doves tC
their windows" while. from the homt
which Is the abode of discomfort, ant
strife, and trouble, they fly forth as vul
lures to rend their prey.
The class Of men that disturb and dis
tress the world are not those born ant
matured amid the hallowed influence
!, of Christian homes; but rather thos
! whose early life has been y seeRe o
e trouble and yexation, who have starte'
i wrong in the pilgrimage, and who's
r course is one of disaster to themselve
and trouble to those around them.

We listened TO 4 very interesting
debate at Shanesville one evening last
week, between two young men, on the
Presidential merits of Grant and Gree
lev. The Grant man handled his op-
ponents arguments pretty roughly, and
did not leave any thing unanswered.

rests during the last week. That's right

that they are fined to the extent of the
law, and no grace given them that
would enable them to escape justice.

What am Honest Farmer Thinks Of

I Country.

Said an honest son OF tolito us the
other day, when l bought my farm ana
started out in life to make living for
myself, my taxes amounted to eleven
dollars, and when they were due l had
TO sell a COW for that amount to pay
them. and the other four cows which l
kent. were worth in the market just
forty-four dollars, my taxes are now
seventy dollars, and this year l sold a
cow for just that sum, and the iour
retained are just worth four times sew
enty, or two hundred and eighty dol
lars, so that my taxes are at this time
only the price of the cow, but the four
l retain are worth just two hundred and
thirty-six dollars more than when | paid
eleven dollars tax, and the price OF all
nv other stock has advanced in the
same proportion. On this principle
can afford to have my taxes double ev'
cry year and would rather enjoy being
ruined in that way.

Railroad Tickets Good Either Way.

In the Supreme Court of Massachu-
sets, recently, case of interest TO the
travelling public was decided. In 1865,
Mr.. J. A. Coleman, of Boston, attempt
ed to ride from New York to New Ha-
ven, on coupon ticket, which was re-
jected by the conductor on the ground
that, although it was good from New
Haven to New York, it would not pass
the holder in the opposite direction
Mr.. Coleman insisted that the company
was compelled to receive the ticket, as
it represented money paid for a passage
between those points, and he was put
off the train by force. He sued the New
York and New Haven Railroad Com
pany and recovered. The railroad OBJ
tanned new trial and were beaten
again. On exception to the ruling Of
the Judge the defendants obtained 8
third trial, which terminated in ver-
diet for Mr.. Coleman for $1,000.
