splendid serviceableness of the manufacture

The Hunters Paradise.
? Harrisburg Patriot.

From tie Harrisburg Patriot.
A former Dauphin countian writing from
Stockton, Muskatine county, Iowa, under
date of Nov. 10, to sportsman in this
city, says:
You can shoot half dozen or from ten
to twelve mallards any evening just before
sundOwn in as many minutes. The finest
varieties of ducks are sold in the Davenport
markets at two dollars per dozen. l killed
fifteen prairie hens one afternoon, and
finished my afternoons work on the river,
at sundown, by bagging eighteen wild ducks
Any practical sportsman can kill as many
as he needs during the sporting seaso inn
the spring and fall months, and nobody
cares TO destroy what he can not use. &
X X
Right here at Stockton Fulton Station, the
second station from Davenport on the Chi
cago, Rock Island and Pacific Railroad }
you can shoot all the prairie chickens, ducks,
brant, wild geese, snipe, rabbits, and smaller
game you need any day during the shoot
ing season. As for fish, why, sir, you can
buy the best varieties at five cents per
pound, or catch them by the barrow load
with hook and line, &c We have stur-
geon, buffalo, pickerel, salmon, cat and other
fish, some species weighing from FIVE to
Fifty pounds each This is no exaggeration.
Refer to any responsible party in Daven-
port, Muscatinc, or elsewhere in the State
for the truthfulness of my assertion. This
is, truly, the hunters paradise.

NORTHERN PACIFIC RAILROAD.

As there is considerable stock of the
Northern Pacific Railroad held in this
county, the following in relation to the pros
poets of the road will be of interest.
The Railroad has now built 555 miles of
the proposed 1000 miles, Under the
Government grsnt the period for complet-
ing the road expires in about two years,
but an effort is to be made at the approach
ing session of Congress to have the time
extended eight years. The Vice President
of the company, who has just returned from
an extended visit to the region traversed
by the road, says while the Minnesota Di-
vision, 250 miles, from Duluth to Fargo,
has been operated both winter and sum-
mcr, the Dakota Division, 200 miles from
Fargo on the Red River, to Bismarck, on
the Missouri, has never been operated in the
winter. The traffic did not justify it, and
the snow was a serious obstacle to over
come. During the past summer the reve-
nue. from the Dakota division of the road
has been au average Of about $4,000 per
month. The increased business and the
desire of the War Department that the road
be kept open have led the company to build
between forty and fifty miles Of snow fence
in Dakota, and to arrange winter time
table between Fargo and Bismarck which
will give tri-weekly trips, a train going one
way each week day The principal points
west of Fargo are Mapleton and Casselton,
the center Of extensive Dakota farming
operations, and jamestown, government
post, half way to Bismark. There are four
other points which have been named and
ten sidings which are not at present the
sites of human habitations. The Pacific
sections, already completed from Tacoma,
on Puget's Sound, is being extended thirty
miles to the Puyallup coal fields. The COM
pany is about to establish a stage line and
teams to run between Bismarck and Dead
wood City, in the Black Hills. The road
may yet have future

OF considerable depth, petrifed wood is tax
en-, in which there is chloride of silver
worth nearly 81 900 ton. The formation
is sandstone, out of which horn-silvcr is
taken. This shows that the deposit of silver
was made subsequent to the surrounding

became the sandstone.

Wedding Anniversaries.

Fashion has established the custom, of
late years, ofcelebrating certain anniviverics
of the marriages, these being named as fol-
lows The celebration at the expiration of
the first year is called the cotton wedding ::
at two years comes the paper at three, the
leather at the close of five years comes the
wooden at the seventh anniversary the
friends assemble at the wooden, and at ten
comes the tin. At twelve years the silk
and tiue linen at fifteen the crystal we'd
ding. At twenty, the friends gather with
their china, and at twenty five the married
couple that have been true to their vows
for a quarter of century are rewarded
with silver gifts. From this time forward
the tokens of esteem become rapidly more
valuable. When the thirtieth anniversary
is reached they are presented with pearls :;
at the fortieth, comes the rubies and at
the fftieth occurs the glorious golden we'd
ding. Beyond that time the aged couple
are allowed to enjoy their many gifts in
peace. If, however, by any possibility they
reach the seventy-ffth anniversary, they
are presented with the rarest gifts to be
obtained, at the celebration of their diamond
wedding.
In issuing the invitations for celebrating
these anniversaries, it is customary to print
them on a material emblematical of the
occasion. Thus, thin wood, leather, cloth,
tinfoil, silk, and gold paper, and other ma
terials are brought into use.
OF course, those who accept such invita-
tions, and pariake of the hospitality of the
host and hostess, are expected to contribute
to the collection of gifts that viii grace the
occasion-HWS Manual
