Doing Good.
TFor THE PRESS. !

FOR 1HE IRESS
To do good is to do the will of the Lord, thus
initiating the great Redeemer, for "Jesus of
Nazareth went about doing good.'' And anoth-
er scripture exhorts saying, "But to good,
and to communicate forget not: for with such
sacrifices God is well pleased" Obedience to
the commandments of the Lord, is the best sac
rifce which we can bring to him in the services
of Christian life. Church members, as well as
other people; are too apt to forget the Apostle
James definition of pure religion-"Pure, relig-
ion and undefiIed before God and the Father is
this, To visit the fatherless and the widows in
their afiiction, and to keep himself unspotted
from the world" James 1 and 27. And we
fail TO remember the teachings of Jesus in
Mathews gospel 25 chapter from the 35 to the Al
verse, where it is clearly shown that feeding
the hungry, clothing the naked, visiting the
sick and those in prison, is large part of what
we are to do for the Lord in doing good, thus
filling up the true mission of life.
We have been impressed in regard to this
work OF visiting and helping the sick and needy,
by remembering the life-work of noble Chris
tain woman, who died in our midst last June,
having been a resident OF Somerset twenty
nine years. That woman was no other than
Mrs Catharine Sain. We would do well not to
forget the peculiar excollencies Of character
which made her blessing to so many house.
holds. She denied herself. and in many sick
room she was like mother nurse and he'll
per. Very many homes miss that angel of mer-
cy which quietly went about doing good. We
write these things not. because Mrs Sain was a
member Of our church, but because this class
of humble citizens and humble christians are
not held in as high esteem as they ought to be,
by the busy throng which is rushing on in pur-
suit of riches and pleasure.
We owe this woman, and all like her, debt
of gratitude and kind remembrance which we

AMERICAN LEAD PENCILs.-We learn
from the Philadelphia Ledger that sew
en- years of patient study has resulted in
the invention of series of machines by
which Americn lead pencils are made,
in Jersey City, entirely by machinery
From the time the plumbago and rough
strips of cedar and other woods enter
the machinery, until they are turned
out together polished lead pencils, ready
to be tied up in packages, 10 hard labor
is required. The materials. used are all
American, the plumbago coming from
Ticonderoga county. New York, and the
cedar from Florida. The pencils are
made Of five different grades, and they
are said to be of such quality that they
can compete at once with the best pen
ellis of German manufacture. If such
should prove TO be the case, American
pencils will have no difficulty in finding
market, for the process by which they
are manufactured is the cheapest in the
world.

Novel Explosion.

Mr.. George w. Strong, living at Lo-
gan, Ohio, bought, some time since,
new cook stove. After it had been in
use few days, Mrs. S. kindled fire in
the stove preparatory to getting supper,
one evening, and as she was about leav-
ing, terrible explosion took place, blow
ing pots, kettles, stove-lids, &C., about
the room promiscuously, and creating a
great sensation in the neighborhood, but
luckily, doing no further damage.
1t was afterward ascertained that the
explosion was caused by powder which
had been used in mining the coal, which
becoming damp was not ignited when
the blast was set off. This powder, by
some means got into Mr. SIS coal pile,
and thence into the stove, with the result
above stated.
Mr.. S. states that the stove is a re-
markably heavy and strong one. If it
had been one of the light stoves, now in
common use, the consequence might
have been very serious.
The name of this stove is the 'Sensa-
tion," said to be the best in use, and sold
exclusively by G. II. Stafford, Somerset,
OHIO.

The Outlook.

The improvements in progress in our
village at this time are worthy of a pass
ing notice. The Catholic Church have
their large, sweet-toned bell put into the
tower of the church, and has been htard
over four miles distant Mr.. Jacob Dit
toe, by his son Michael, has remooeled
and improved his dwelling house, both
outside and inside, so as to make it ore
of the most elegant dwellings to be seen
either east or west. DIR. Magruder has
built substantial business house on the
place cleared off by the late fire; it has
two large rooms with narrow hall be,
tween to give access to the upper story.
1t viii have open front, and finished in
modern style and will make fine APP
pearance. Mr.. O'Keeffe is now bull
ding fine residence on East Main street
which will be inclosed in few days
1t will have an elegant verandah with
bay windows in front and end and when
finished will make an elegant appearance.
So mnch for our last winters improve
ment. I hope, in the coming spring,
we will further improve the ap-
pearance of our town by taking down the
old rickety and unsightly bridge across
the Railroad cut, and arch the chasm, SO
asto hide the ugly appearance.
Business of all kinds seems to be revi-
wing. The valuable accession to oul
place of the Messrs. Ashbrook, who
having repaired their Steam Mill ad
joining town, are now operating it, so al
to assist the business of our place, ant
with profit to themselves, and giving en-
tire satisfaction to the public. Mr.
O'Keeffe is another valuable accession
to our town. He is not only erecting
fine dwelling house, but is at all time
ready to give cash for all the saleabl
horses offered in this market.
