EDITOR Press: 1 have heard several
persons doubt the statement of your cor
respondent, Lycurges, in the last issue
of the Press, in regard to the amount
of snuff sold during the past year in
this village. They claim that the esti-
mate is entirely too high-that they
did not believe there were one hundred
pounds of the article sold in Somerset
in year. Now the truth is, the esti-
mate is rather too low Let us see:-
there are at least tuUetue establishments
in this place where snuff is sold. Some
of them sell as high as one hundred and
seventy-fve pounds, and none of them
sell less than one hundred pounds, annu
ally. Averaging them at one hundred
and twenty-five pounds, we have an
aggregate of sirteen hundred pounds of
snuff annually sold in the small village
of Somerset. Besides this,-and my
statement was not made unadvisidly-
there is doubtless good deal of this in
| famous stuff FUSED" in this commu unity
which is not bought in Somerset. In
view of this fact, then, would it not be
we'll for the "Women's League" to add
to the list the "Snuff Rubber's Pledge?"
And there is another pledge do not
think it would be inopportune to circu-
late at this time. 1t is "Ihe Opium Eat
er's PEedge?"-It is almost an impossible
ity to ascertain the amount of opium
that is daily dispensed and consumed in
our midst, as those who deal in it are

PLAsTER.-J. Schuette & Bro. have
Just added another machine to their
plaster mills, which will now make that
establishment as complete as any IL this
State. The machine is of heavy cast
iron, in which the plaster rock is thrown
and crushed to pieces, work which had
previously to be done with large ham
mers. This viii save a great deal OF
labor and reduce the expenses in manu-
featuring. They will commence opera
tan again after New Year and we would
advise our farmers to get their supply
during the winter, thereby gaining the
benefit of good roads, low prices and
better convenience in hauling.

ignited the two adjoining barns, one be-

very soon consumed. The fire engines
were quickly on the spot and saved the
barn of Mr.. Chizak. the dwelling occu-
pied by Mr.. Prick and the barn of Mr..
John Hall all of which were more or less
scorched. The steamer did splendid
service and the hand engines were very
efficient, proving again that our fire de-
partment cannot dispense with two good
companies. The damage was light-prob-
ably not exceeding one thousand dollars
but would have been very severe, had
we had less efficient iremen.

evening was one of the pleasantest re-

After singing and prayer the children
were served with an abundance of whole
some refreshments and after several
more songs and the enjoyment of the
most pleasant social intercourse the chill
dren were dismissed and the older per-
soos remained some time longer Al
about IL O'clock oil had left, highly
