runway of Bryan & Co.'s steam saw
mill, they noticed that the runway
looked as if it might give way at any
moment. They Immediately stepped
from under it, when down it went with
a crlsh, it being heavily loaded with
lumber. Had they remained but a
moment longer under the structure,
they would have been crushed to death

Says an exchage: Advertising is a
great bother. 1t only brings a lot of
tolks to your place of business. If
they want you let 'em hunt you up.
Then if yon get your name in the paper,
you'll Ii be bored with drunmers, aud
people from the country will call on
you aud you'll have to do up bundles
for them, which will exhaust your stock
SO much that youth be obliged to buy
more goods, which is great trouble
if you advertise too, it gives your town
a reputation abroad, aud folks vii. go
there aud settle down, and crowd your
quiet place aud make it too lively. Ii
you don't want to do anything, keep as

A recen. act of Assembly requires
the executors, administrators, or friends
Of the deceased person, to put an afii-
davit on record in the Registers office,
setting forth the day aud hour when
the death occurred. Friends aud par
ties applying for letters of administra-
ton will do well to bear this important
fact in mnd, and thereby save much in
convenience in receiving their legal pa
pers. The act in question can be found
