enough grapes to make twenty-five bar
rels of wine. Who can do better?
Our old friend J. L. Cook, we found at
his Dry Goods Store, busily engaged in
waiting on his customers. He is con-
stantly growing richer, which fact we
are glad to learn. Parties unknown re-
Gently made efforts to enter his store in
the night and had progressed so far as to

expected pistol shot from the clerk, sud-
denly suggested to the villains the pro-
priety of changing base of operations,
which was done.
Messrs Elliott Brothers are agents for
all kinds of Farming Impliments, Lum-

4BRICK. PoMERoY ON ERIE

The. following extract is taken from
one of "Brick" Pomeroy's recent letters
to the Dessucrut:
I'VE like the Erie Railway. There is
no more attractive road to travel in the
world. The cars are SO wide, easy rid
Ing and cleanlY kept. A person has
room enough to roam around, spread out,
rest; take comfort, lean back and enjoy
himself There are other good railroads
I'm the world, but none whose cars are so
attractive. as those of the broad guage;
we'll managed and rather extensively
known Erie Railway Company. The
sleeping ears are better thar the bridal
coaches of our forefathers, and far ahead
of what the ancient kings and queens
opfeyed, and they thought they lived
high"

Judgment predicted that before three
years would pass, we would have the 10

ask, what has become of the men who
were so active in the once great enter
prise? Why don'tthey still agitate the

asleep? Are there not men with minds
active enough to take the matter in
hand? All we want is SOME mani that
will take hold of this matter and we,
along the line, will back him and let him
work the question up and we are sure of
the result; and in two years we will join
