LeHlOx Furnace.

LeMOx Furnace.
 The wet weather for the past few weeks has been bad for the farmers about getting their oats and hay in the barn, though most of them got through having before the rains......Quite number of people have at- tended camp meeting the past week, but more would like to have gonc...... There is to be Sabbath school concert in this place next Sunday, under the management of our superintendent and wife, who seem to be doing all they can to make the school interesting. The store is once more open to the trade, having been closed for two weeks undergoing some necessary repairs. About lS0 tons of pig iron were shipped from this place week before las:...... Messrs. Averill & Servin are about starting the glass furnace, having few men at work getting ready for start...... Messrs. Perry $ Co. ,the millers, seem to keep their wheels moving, as should judge by the rumbling nside......Messrs. Perry & Beach are fitting up the basement room of the mill for the manufacture of paint. Tam told that this paint is highly recommended. Mir. Perry is man that does not take hold of such a business unless he thinks there is money in it, and have no doubt but what he will find this paying business. I wish them success.....T The Smith Paper Co. have pur- chased the polishing shop with all the ma chinery and intend to start pulp mill in this building this fall, which will make em. ployment for ten or fifteen men through the winter. Last but not least comes the rum shops. They seem to be busy and keep a large number of men at work on full time. They run them night and day. Is it not about time the town authorities took hold of the case and either enforce the law or repeal it. There are two of these shops one of them has been open for the last ten or fifteen years and has never been molest- ed. I would say, either grant license to them and make them pay for it or shut up their shops and make them pay the penalty of the law. HORACE.

Everetts of Eglemont, resulting in victory for the former, the score standing as follows: Lone Stars IS, Mt. Everetts II.

ALLEGED IRREGULARITIES IN NEW ENG LAND PosT- OBFl oEs.-A prominent seeds man, over his own signature, in commu- nication to the Boston Daily Nesos, makes the following startling revelations:
 Somewhat over two years ago laid be- fore the postmaster general, through the representative of my district, General But Ter, a list of about 800 letters that had been stolen in the course of five months. Near ly all these letters contained moneyeiu some form. The reply of shigh official was creditable to his manliness he stated thai without doubt nine-tenths had been stolen by post.office officials. 2" - -e
 Last season 1 sent to Representative Will Hams, member of the committee on post offices and post roads, a list of 1872 letter to my address that had been stolen within period of four or Eve months. In addi- ton to this vast number, 22G containing post-office orders were stolen in the same period. As sixty eight thousand were re- ceived during that period, it will be seen that the loss is nearly ? l-2 per cont. of the correspondence. have not by me the number of letters stolen the present season, but an inference may be drawn from the fact that thus far, between January lst, 1875 and May goth, I have had to apply fol four hundred and sixteen duplicate money orders to replace an equal number stolen. It is doubtless true that very small frac- tion of these letters were lost through the fault of the senders, but stolen is the word for the great mass. and nine-tenths of the thefts are by post. office officials,

A TERRIBLE DKATH-CREosoTE BY Ms TAKE.-John Shoren, an aged German, died at New York Monday evening from the ef- fects of taking spoonful of creosote by mistake. He had been in poor health for some time, and his disease being of neI- vous character his physician had prescribed among other things, narcotic to produce the sleep which he cou,d not otherwise have obtained. This was kept in a closet along with other bottles, among which was small vial of creosote of the same size and general appearance. Neither vial was la belled. On Monday evening the old man,
 feeling tired and restless, sent his daughter for the narcotic. The poor girl made fa' tai mistake and brought the narcotic, a spoonful of which her father, without no
 ,icing it particularly, swallowed. The next moment he threw up his hands in terror,
 crying out, My God! my God! l have made mistake. I'm burning up. Help! for Gods sake, help!' The fumes of the creosote at once led the gil to realize the situation, and crying and wringing her hands she rushed frantically into the street and accosted an officer, who at once called in the aid of the nearest physician. Mean while the sufferings of the old man were terrible. His body was convulsed with spssms, his eyes seemed leaping from :heir sockets, and in his agony he shrieked Wa ter water my stomach, my heart, my very soul is on fire! The doctor soon came, but all his ,fforts were in vain, and iu fifteen minutes after swallowing the pois- on the old man was dead. <| ..- t

New UhbHOE0.
 On Sunday last at monday three men were seen passing through Main street; one of them feigning drunkenness walked into the house of Edgar Bostwick and soon came out with bundle, joined his com panion and walked hastily on. What ex- cited suspicion was his going in so drunk he could scarcely walk and coming out a sober man. The family were informed and they found he had taken coat worth forty dollars. He was followed and the three taken in field near by. They were tried on Monday morning and the thief proper sent to Litchfield for safe keeping. The two men in company were doubtless i'm plicated, yet as nothlug could be proved against them they were released...... The lookup in the new hall is completed with the exception of doors. It is to be hoped this will prove restraint and that there will be less disturbance in town after there is secure spot to keep these vagrants......

Sunday Base BalI.-How about those ball plays just north of Falls Village and sometimes near Huntsville on Sundays. Somehow the boys fail to send in the scores of their games for publication. They per haps arc aware of the fact that there is ap Umpire keeping the tally of their Sunday games, Who will publish their scores to their entire satisfaction, and mention of their games in detail in THE NEWS is entire ly unnecessary. We presume that if this is their conclusion, they are right. Now then, boys: Hadn't you better stop that Don't you think 1t is about as poor paying business as any you know of, to play ball on Sundays?

CHRISTMAS was one of the dullest
days that Ravenna has seen for long
time, but every thing passed OF in a
very quiet and pleasant manner. The
business houses were generally open
during most of the day, but the reads
were in such horrible condition As
to preclude people from coming to
town, and in consequence trade was
unusually light. There were the usu-
al number of greetings and feastings
and social reunions incident to such
occasions, and to many it was . day
around which will cluster pleasant
recellectiOns.
