"OF late years advertising has as.
sumed a very important phase--in fact, has
become a science in business, and no one
has done more, or as much, TO make it so, as
Geo. p Rowell a. Co., of New York. Their
prompt and systematic mode of transacting
their business has gained the confidence of
all large advertisers, and has raised them
in few years from one of the smallest to
the leading advertising house in the world"

In a l;ttle village in Vermont there
lived farmer named Ransom. They
were not pious people-rather of the
reprobate order; in fact, they neverwent
to church. Once, however, the family
were prevailed upon to attend preach
ing. When they made their reluctant
and tardy appearance the services had
begun, and they had hardly taken their
seats when the preacher gave out the
first hymn, reading it somewhat thus :;
" Return, We ransom sinners home.
" All right !" cried the head of the Ran

hat on his head. "Come along, ole

published at that place:
In reviewing the events of the year
just closed We have just cause to be
proud Of the record of our town.
Union City has never been in II more
prosperous and promising condition
than to-day. Our growth has been
steady, rapid and healthy. New en-.
terprises have sprung up among US
and are prospecting. Our business men
are beginning to be awake to the im-
porlance Of the position Union is to
hold among her sister towns, and to
manifest that enterprise and public
spirit without which, no town can
permanently thrive, however great its
natural advantages. Our future pro-
gress rs town Is more certainly as
sured than at any previous part of our
history. 1t rests upon the business
men and capitalists to see to it that
we lose no ground this year that we
have gained in the past, and TO take
advantage of the constantly recurring
opportunities to build up Union City,
aud thus benefit themsel YES.

Woman Suffrage in Pennsylvania.

In the Philadelphia Court of Nisi
Prius, Judge Sharswood delivered his
opinion in the suit of Mrs. Burnham
against the election officers of her pre-
cinct for refusing her vote at the gen
eral election of last October. The
plaintiff claimed that she was duly
qualified in all respects accor ling to
the constitution and laws of Pennsyl.
vania, while the defense held that she
was not freeman in the sense in which
that word is used in the Constitution.
Judge Sharswood ruled that while the
provisions of the ninth article of that
instrument, commonly called the Dec
laration OF Rights, extended to and in
clude both sexes, and that when the
words "man" or "men are therein used
they comprehend also women, and
while it is equally clear that a woman
who is born in this country or natural
lied, as she may be under the acts of
Congress, is a citizen as fully entitled
TO the protection of the government as
a man, and with II right fully to enjoy
all the privileges whlci properly be,
long to citizens. it does not follow that
the ele ,tive franchise is one of theiI
privileges. That is exclusively regulat'
ed by the Constitution, which has tx.
cluded many citizens from it by reason
OF age, nou-payment Of taxes, non
residence within the commonwealth
and the election district for certain
period oftime. Neither had the amend
ments to tlN Constitution fthe United
States any bearing on the question
since the right of the plaintiff To vote
was not denied or abridged on account
of race, culOr or previous condition o
servitude." The only question was
whittier the word "freemin, as en-
pluyed in the Constitution of Pennsyl
vania, was intended to con6ne the elec
tive franchise to male citizens. Afte
all exhaustive examination Of the law
and precedents bearing on the subject
the Judge said that the unifnrm con
structinns of the provincial charter
and constitutions in which the wore
was employed as we'll as under tn
constitutions since the revolution, ha
been in accordance with the ductrin
that none but males have the right I
vote, and that Pennsylvania had uni
form and uninterrupted usage Of neal
ly two hundred years shaving tina
women were never intended TO p.,s
sess the elective franchise. Judgmer
was therefore rendered for the defenC
ants.
