PoTAro KEEPING As potatoes rip

sorts such as Early Rose. are often
damaged greatly by wire worms or
white grubs. We never made any
thing. but often lost. by storing pota-
toes instead Of selling them. 75c. a
bushel is worth more nov than a dollar
in Spring A good way to dig pota-
toes in drills, is to plow furrow close
to the row g,ing up, then do the same
down the next row; then plow beneath
the first row, turning it upon the 6rst
furrow, and so on through the field.
The potatoes are all exposed. and can
be raked out with the hoe or harrow
To sort them in the field is a saving Of
time and labor Gather up the tops

Pay That Little Bill.

1t was only little bill Of 80. "a that
William Whitback owed to Mr.. Ford,
the carpenter and builder. He had
been owing it for somc time. and had
not found IL convenient to pay the bill /;
not that he could not have done so, but
simply that it was small amount and
would net make much difference With
anybody. Mr.. Ford was building q
house for . Mr.. Miller; aud certain
Mrs. McQuade, hereinafter mentioned.
had agreed to purchase the said house
and lot { when completed } to'pay GER
tain amount down, and the balance in
instsllments. Now, it happened that
Mr.. Ford needed a little more paint
with which to complete the painting Of
the house. and as he had overdrawn his
account with Mr.. Miller, be went to a
dealer in paints and oils. and said he
lacked little paint with which to COM
plete the painting Of house be was
building. and when paid for his work
on that be would pay for it and also
settle the bill the paint and oil house
had against him.
Mr.. Payson. the proprietor Of the
paint and oil house did not happen to.

book keeper had told him that there
were good many accounts standing
out that should be settled forthwith
They both went to work and made out
a list Of customers whose accounts had
been running good while, and when
it was completed gave orders to the
statesmen to sell no more goods on credit
to those parties until the old bills we're
settled. Mr.. Ford's bill happened to
be one Of those selected for imqeaiate
and unconditional collection not me-
cessarily because Of any fear that Mr.
Ford was not good" but from the
fact that the 6rm actually needed the
money to pay maturing bills and notes

tsB- The Aldine for November comes to us
richly freighted with art and literary treasures,
something after the manner of ono of the ar
gosles of old, that made periodical returns
from distant lands, bringing the most valuable
things that could be seized In all. Artlstlcally,
the place of honor Is held by an exquisite pic
ture called " Dinner Times" after the German
Knaus, showing q dark-haired Gretchen feed
ing her ducks, which is followed by other
splendid pictures.
Quite a material change is evident in the
literary management of The Aldine, under
what we must supposethe new editorial charge; /;
aud undoubtedly strength is added, without
any apparent deficiency In grace and dellcacy.
The most notable changes are to be found In
the appearance Of slashing editorial article
under the editorial head, " "Amerlca's Exam
ple," which reads as II there might be an In
tention to follow 1t with others Of the same
vigor,-and In the commencement Of con-
tinued story, "Lost Lillian Bracy Tradition
of Charles II.'s Time" which opens with a
graphic picture Of May-day of that period,
and promises TO possess a most absorbing In
terest, allowing few who commence it TO lay 1t
down unfinished. Rumor has 1t, that this
story, which bears no name, Is really one of
the unpublished MSS. left by the late g. p. X.
James and the intrinsic evidence of style and
incident would favor the supposItion. There
is anoIher story OF much power, complete, by
Mrs. IL. q. Rowe" The Eagle In the Sea-
Birds Nest" and great variety Of other in
terestlng reading matter.
The Aldlne Company has determined to es-
tablish an Art Union, similar tothe well-known
Art Union in England, and distribute its works
Of art, both sculpture and paintlngs, which are
constantly collecting, among It's Subscribers.
Art premiums, valued at $500, will be dis
tributed among each series of5 600 subscribers.
Subscription tickets, at 5000 each, entitle the

Fatally Injured. On Tuesday last
about 8 o'clock, one of the hands employed
on the local freight, was so badly injured
while shifting cars near the furnace at
Newport, that he died about @ o'clock that
afternoon. The young mans name was
Glenn McCauley, resident of Harrisburg,
where he had recently moved and where
he had wife. The accident happened by
Mr. Cauley getting his foot caught between
the rail and plank, causing him to fall,
and the car was so near him, that before it
could be stopped the wheels had crushed
him. He was taken to Newport, when
every care was rendered him, and after his
death his body was taken to Hun tingdon,
where his mother resided.

Run OH.-The WaynesbOro' Record says:
"on Sunday last whilst two young men of
this place, Haughman and Brennan, were
on their way from Mechanicstown, in a
buggy, the horse took fright at freight
train of cars as it was passing over a
bridge, and commenced running. 1t ap-
pears the lines broke, the young men were
thrown out, and the vehicle, said to have
been a new one, was thoroughly demolish-
ed. The horse which was captured be-
tween this place and Monterey, belonged
to DR.. Bowls of this place. The buggy
was from the livery of Mr.. John =. Funk.
The young men fortunately escaped with

A Bold RObbery-A Safe Carried away and
Broken Open.--Between and2 o'clock yes
terday morning the night hands at Wister's
furnace, below Mulberry street, on the op-
posite side of the canal, heard noise
which was later in the morning found to
have emanated from the operations of a
number of burglars in breaking through a
safe which they had carried from the brick
Office of the Wister firm to place where
they could work without probable moles-
tation. The Office is located at the edge of
basin in which large number of logs,
grouped together into small RATS, are kept.
The burglars entered the Office from the
towpath and rolled the safe out of the front
door, evidence of which is seen in the
broken steps. They then rolled their
plunder on one of the RATS, which they had
drawn to the shore, and boated to point
about 200 feet distant, on the opposite side
Of the basin. Having selected a place
where the employees Of the furnace could
not observe their operations because of ore
banks, ETC., they unloaded the safe and
commenced chiseling it open, using a
sledge hammer and several other imple-
ments which they had stolen from the
blacksmith shop about twenty feet in the
rear of the furnace. The noise produced
by the sledge hammer blows was heard
about an hour by the furnace-men, who
suspected nothing wrong.
Yesterday morningafter daylight the safe
was found with the bottom chiseled and
hammered out and the books and other
contents piled up near it. All the burglars
carried away were few insurance policies
and two Pennsylvania railroad shares, no
money having been kept in the safe. The
burglars first attempted 10 gain access to
the interior Of the safe by breaking open
the door, but this work not proving salts

Anew Railroad Order.-The management
of the Pa. r. r. company has recently issued
an order bearing the official signature of
Thos. A. Scott President, to every person
employed by the company in any capacity
whatsoever which is not only novel in its
character but worthy of general imitation
by similar corporations. 1t sets forth that
the company pays fair compensation for
the time and services of its employees and
in return demands that they shall devote
their entire attention to the duties of their
respective positions. That they are not to
act in any executive or other capacity in or
for any other corporation or to give their
labor to any other firm or business. That
they are not to be interested in any way,
directly OF indirectly in the supplies or bust
ness of the road, and that all emoluments
and profits accruing from any such employ
ments or interest, belong naturally to the
company and not to the employee, and are
to be turned into the treasury of the rail-
road. In fact the company enters upon
new and enlarged sphere of usefulness,
free from combinations that must, it
would appear, attach to all great enter
prises in their early stages. The announce
ment of these facts must have vastly
beneficial influence upon the stockholders
interests. The policy of acting through
companies which were managed in connec-
tion with the central controlling power of
so great a corporation as that of the Penn
sylvania railroad was no doubt rendered
necessary at the time when the road was
begun, and much Of the unrivalled success
and unprecedented growth of this company
was due tothe wise direction of that policy;
but now it is able to stand above it and
needs no such help, all the best efforts Of
brain and a muscle employed by it should
and must have but single allegiance to
one central point of interest. That no one
may be aggrieved by this change Of policy
strict conformity to it will not be made
imperative until the first of January next

Another Terrible MarnIng.-sunday af.

Another Terrible Warning.-Sunday af-
ternoon, Mr.. Henry Fink, of Dover, was
out chestnutting in the woods. AS he
went in his buggy, he put his gun in the
box under the seat Returning in the eve-
ming he endeavored to extract the gun
from under his seat, taking hold of it by
the muzzle. The cock was caught in the
operation, which snapped and discharged
the whole load into the palm of his right
hand shattering all of the eight bones of
the wrist and passing up into the arm
where it tore the flesh fearfully and broke
both the bones of the forearm. The injury
was SO great that amputation was neces-
sary between the wrist and the elbow.
Drs. Kerr, Ahl and Mclaughlin performed
the operation. The sufferer is doing as
well as could be expected. Telegram.
