The very favorable weather the work on
the Berks County r. Il. has progressed
very rapidly Of late. During the last
month the grading of sections 20, CYRUS
Dillen. go and %, Wannamaker d Beard,
and 80, j. A. Breen ~ Co., has been
entirely finished. Also sections "a aud
So. These Two sections include a dis
lance of nearly four miles and have been
graded by the company under the imme-
dlate uperntendence of Messrs. Wanna
maker, Beard Il Crietz. The work
though not heavy, was very difficult
owing TO the low, swampy nature of the
ground, ald had the winter been cold Il
could not have been finished before
Spring. The amount of work yet re-
manning TO be done is very small and in
the course Of six or eight weeks there Is
every prospect of the road bed being
ready for the iron.
The railroaders celebrated Christmas
in their usual pleasant way, and this
week there is a very unusual crop of
damaged eyes, chewed of fingers and
halt-scalped heads, but the owners of
such undesirable articles don't seem to
mind and no one else cares as long as
the navvies keep their fights TO them
selves.
The number Of school states manufac-
tured In this place is something astoni, h.
ingi It Is as wonderful TO me where they
all go to as what becomes Of ali the pins.
Ten thousand would not be too many TO
estimate as the number turned out in a
single day. A great deal of roofing sate
is taken ont here, and some very heauti-
full mantels are made. The place ie very
well named slatington, for it is made Of
slate.

A GOOD BOOK.

We always welcome with pleasure any.
thing that will have an influence in the com.
munity on the side of temperance. We also
share the popular dislike Of book agents, as
4 class. But we have been shown 4 copy Of
new book, "The Rumseller's Daughter,
or Woman in the Temperance Reform, pub.
lished by GOOdspeed 4 Co., New York,
which fills our ideal Of a temperance book,
aud for the time being puts away the pref.
udice against agents, We feeling inclined to
give encouragement to any honorable means
Of circulating SO good book. 1t is thrill
ling narrative from life, the heroine being now
living. We are free to confess that we new
er read more enhancing tale, one more
likely to attract and interest the youth, who
seldom find temperance works interesting
and at the same time the arguments against
this greatest curse of our country and the
world are Of character which carry con-
viction with them. 1t traces the temper.
ance reform from its earliest beginnings up
to the present time, and will be Of value to
those engaged in the present movement. 1t
is founded on facts within the authors
knowledge, and is, without doubt, the most
exciting temperance book ever written.
From the very frst line the readers atten.
ton is riveted, and the book cannot be laid
down until it is read through. Buy it and
it will do you good. 1t will do your family
good, and will be lasting benefit to your
friends and the cause.
Mr. John Carrick is agent for the book in
this vicinity, and we cordially recommend
every one to give it careful examination.
Especially to parents who have children
growing up would we urge the advisability
OF placing in their hands reading which,
while as enhancing as any novel, will be in
culcating moral principles upon their minds
which will manifest themselves in later years
in making them truer, nObler, purer men
and women.

prices firm and likely TO be held through
Brighton yards.
Sheep and lambs. Very few selected lots
OF lambs this week. One lot bargained for
last week said 20 have brought 9c nothing
mt that price to-day. Lambs are still small
in the country; considerably many will DO

quote lambs "a to SIC; sheep A 10 54c, with

demand for that kind of poultry, but the old

Earle feels bad about it. He thinks the
editor Of the FARMER is a Canadian, aud
uses some more of his elegant little titles.
We don't blame him for that. The poor
fellow, we suppose, can't help once in a
while giving vent to his natural line Of
thought. However, for his relief, we will
state that the editor OF the FARMER is ma.
tive Of Vermont, and never was a citizen Of
any other state or country, though he has
been in Canada, and saw Earle there. The
clearest indication Of the distress Earle feels
about Polan is the expression, wrung from
him In his agony, 10 that We were not un.
der obligations to Judge Poland !"
