A PEW years ago there was q Preacher
named Jordan who had a joint charge in
Somerset and Fayette Counties. II was a
time OF great political excitement and con-
sequent ill-feeling, and the reverned gen

portions of his flock. While preaching
his farwell sermon TO the Somerfield con-
gregation where he was well liked, he
spoke with great pathos of the approaching
separation, that the time would soon be
here when he must leave them. must bid
them farewell. never in all probability to
meet again. Thank the Lord r was the
loud and earnest response of a prominent
brother familiarity called dad" On
mature reflection he decided it was a very
good response, only he slipped it in at the
wrong place in the sermon. All can fancy
the Preachers feelings, although he was
satisfied the brother didn't mean it.

ing through the country districts, swind-
ling farmers with dry goods samples, and
IL win therefore be well to keen a sharp
lookout for them. Their game is to go
from house 10 house exhibiting samples OF
cotton goods. etc. These they propose to
sell for about one-quarter OF their real
value. and of course take a large number
of orders. therefore, with the promise TO
deliver the goods Dol Then they ex-
hibit a lot Of cloths and cassimeres. almost
worthless, which they sell for big price,
delivering the goods on the spot and re-
ceiving the cash therefor. OF course the
cotton goods are never forthcoming, while
the swindlers have disappeared with the
money they received for worthless cloths.

roosters. grown Fat under protection. strut

But it was q miserable failure in many in
stances. These roosters knew q thing or
two, did they. they knew that with the in
crease Of the Democracy there would be
an increased demand for Bourbon whiskey
and per consequence a scarcity of corn for
them.

A correspondent of the Pittsburgh
ChronieGi writing from Somerset County,
has been made by perverse C~ompositors,
TO speak of ''Sisterville" and Listerville."
We would suggest 10 our town ATcheolo-
gical friend to drop the willie" as it really
has no business there. and further it is u
reproach that willie, burg" or town"
must be tackled to everything American.
The name of the place so puzzleing to
Pittsburgh Typos, is Hamburg. Tie
name has been perverted for years in imi-
tation off man who formerly lived in this
County who had q broken jaw. He said
when he was q child "a tow licked i'm"
and he could never talk plain. He always
called the place ''Humbug' and people
followed suit. We think the place should
simply be called "Liston" in honor of its
founder and leading citizen THOMAS LIS
TON ESQ., lately deceased.

to the holding back Of the crops in expect

are now in store in New York, 1900, coo
bushels OF wheat against 100. 600 bushels
at the same time last year. II this and the
millions of bushels that are TO come, were

SOME time ago Mr.. T.. B. A. David,
of Telegraphlc fame, was residing near
Confluence for the benefit of his greatly
impaired health. Among other things
forwarded from the city was a piece OF
machinery that was left on the platform OF
the station for some days and attracted con
siderable attention.
Our mercantile friend Ross, whose
knowledge of machinery is equal to Mark
Twain's of Agricultural, was among the
first who noticed and commented on the
new churn. He decided that il was
entirely too large for a family 1iM oaly
one cots." Anxious to have his orthodox
opinions on churns supported by competent
mechanical authority, he called the Street
Commissioners and others. they decided
it too large, entirely too large. One OF
them demonstrated that by a few changes
in the cranks and crooks, he could make
il churn faster, gather the butter better,
besides making the butter more solid.
In the mids: of his animated lecture on
butter making. illustrated by the machin-
cry before them, Mr.. David came on the
platform and asked the Agent ii his wash
ing machine had come. There IL is Sir
said the Agent. but its in danger of being
transmografied. The crowd quietly bai
mournfully retired, and have ceased to
lecture on churns.
