On the Bradford Branch of the Erie
Railway there is a house wherein the
father sits in Pennsylvania, the
mother in the State of new York, the
son in the county of Mexican, the
daughter in Cattaraugus county, the
grandmother in one town and the
grandchild in another, and the hired
man in state of ecstasy of looks out
upon a flowing oil well --Ncw Era.
TIE Modoc is the name by which q
large new engine just put upon the
Eastern Division of the p. & e. r.. r.
is known. Its drawing capacity is
much greater as well as its weight
than any other engine On the road.
Its weight is forty-seven tons. 1t
passed east Monday with eighty
loaded cars, the freight of which
would weigh between nine hundred
and a thousand tons, forming train
about u half mile in length. The
Modoe has four driving wheels en-
each side, being one more on each
side than any other engine on the
road. An ordinary engine weighs
probably not half so much as this one,
the capacity is less than half from
thirty to thirty-four cars being the
usual number hauled by ordinary
engines between Remove and Sun
bury.
TEE Governor of Michigan cele-
bratcd Washington's birthday by is
suing All address to the people of the
State on the right improvement of
the centennial year. After inviting
them to cultivate the proper patriotic
sentiments, and cautioning them ear
nestly against political quacks, he
comes down to business. He wants
American history taught a great deal
more generally and thoroughly in the
public school than it is taught now;
in Michigan five schools out of six do
not even make prctense of teaching
it. Unless this neglect is remedied
Gov. Bagley fears we shall "become a
nation of doubtcrs and croaSers.n -
Secondly, he wants every man who
Gowns Il piece of Gods ground" to
celebrate the centennial by planting a
tree or it. This is a valuable recon-
mendation, and if it were possible
also to prohibit MGR from cutting
down trees unnecessarily, it would be
great benefit. In Germany no man
is permitted to cut down tree, even
on his own place, without consent OF
the authorities. Bot this is u free
country, and it would be considered Il
hard case if we were not at liberty tC
destroy our own property. Lastly
the Governor wants every man to dC
his part toward handing down tho
legacies Of their fathcrs-sinplicity
and economy of government, the fre,
school, free church and free press.
