AS the weather ofthe past ten days

SALISBURY Y.

DIR. and Mrs. LanSley and sons and
Mr.. G. G.. Deland of Elizabeth, N. j.,
are spending the summer in town en-
joying the pure air, increasing in avoir-
dupois and having good time gener-
ally.
During the strike some of our en-
terprising citizens saw fortune in get
ting their cattle TO Boston while the
stoppage an trdnSitu of western cattle
existed. So away they fastened to
Boston, and few of the earlier car
loads brought good prices, but bad
luck caught the hindmost, and one or
two of our largest dealers found that
they had arrived too late; the market
was glutted, and the profits of these
good people are yet unrealized. They
now prefer to discuss the centennial at
Bennington, the crops, or the-any-
thing rather than the cattle market in
Boston.
The church at West Salisbury in its
garb of white, and the cozy parsonage
near by, indicate the christian ten
denotes and fellowship of the COM
munity here. On bright Sabbath
morning the bell cheerily summons to-
gether those who desire to listen to
superior discourse by the Rev. Mr..
Vandecar, the pastor in charge. BY
the way, the people here have found
out that brother Vandecar is an in
telligent, progressive, thoughtful stu
dent, worthy of large church. The
Sabbath school is doing good work
and many of the people show marked
intelligence in the study and discussion
of their biblical lessons.
One of the live, intelligent sub
stantial men here is Mr. Columbus
Smith. A select company assembled
at his beautiful villa. Saturday evening,
and after delightful hour spent in So
cial discussion, all sat down to boun-
tiful table presided over by the hostess,
whose womanly grace, good taste and
tact, compelled all to feel the freedom
of home mingled with all the elegance
and comfort that wealth and refinement
could provide. Such people as Mr..
and Mrs. Smith are not only comfort
to themselves but a benefit TO the whole
community in which they reside.

informs us that he has stalk of corn

Mr.. L. d. Jenney met with an ac-
cident that might have had serious re-
suits one day last week. He was driv-
ing down the road leading to the creek,
when by chance the side straps failed
TO perfect the object intended for them.
This let the wagon upon the horse,
which Immediately manifested its dis
pleasure by kicking furiously and run
ming away. 1t was only by refining
him into quagmirc that he succeeded
in stopping him. 1t was narrow es-
cape for Mr.. Jenney, who is an aged

Among the articles of food on the

Wednesday August LIST, 1877.

1t will be seen by advertisements in
our pap that the Masonic fraternity have
commenced operations in this town. We
are not Freemasons ourselves. We have
no intention of ever becoming such, We
shall probably die, as we have lived, igoo-
rant of the meaning of those mysterious
winks whereby the brethren communicate.
We have not the slightest idea when you
are to tickle the palm of a mans hand,
when to crush the top point of his great
toe, when to stick him in the ribs, or
when to treat him with any other Masonic
familiarity. But we wish the Brethren
all success in this island. We have our
selves known noble instances of charity
shown by Masons to the families Of their
brother Masons. And, judging from the
character of those prominent IN the move
ment here, we believe the Eureka
Lodge will be kept pure from the influence
of such men as are, we regret to say, con-
nected with some Lodges in the world,
men whose moral character is corrupt
enough to poison any atmosphere.
Masonry, if we are correct in our belief
about it, processes to teach the universal
brotherhood of man. 1t, by getting into
active operation among US, it can help
us to "lovc as brothren," it will do a
good work, and we say to the Masons

NOTES ON THE PROGRESS OF THE
WAR.

The European newspapers have been COM
planning Of the scarcity of news in regard to
the war, and of the uncertain and even con-
Trajectory character of the kilograms received.
The complaint seems to be well-founded and
the causes of the matters oOmplained of are
not far to seek. It is obviously the interest
of the leaders of large armies to keep their
plans concealed as mu oh as pos, IDLE, and as
newspaper correspondent are only with the
armies on sufferance it is plain that they dare
not write anything which the generals in
command do not wish revealed. When the
intended movements are accomplished, the
case is of course different ; all the world
knows now what Was aimed at, and the pens
of the correspondents are free. With regard
to contradictory kilograms, we have only to
remember how many great interests are affec-
ted on either side, to account for the fact that
mere flying reports are eagerly seized on and
t2legraphed as facts by those whose interests
may be thereby promoted. The war has so
far presented two great surprises to the
Western Nations of Europe. They are sur
prised at its slowness. They remember the
Franco. Austrian war. when in seven months
the Austrians were driven out of Italy the
Prusso-Austrian war, when the Prussian ar
mics threatened Vienna & compelled peace
within seven weeks and the last great war,
when the German army entered Paris triumph.

cut. Gov. Jewell, according to report, came
1t over the Russians while Minister to that
country. 1t is said as a matter of fact that
Gov. Jewell, while Minister in Russia, found
out the secret of the famous Russia leather.
The secret Is the result of the use of birch
bark tar, with which the skins are dressed in
place of tallOw or grease, the latter substances
being so largely used as food among the low
er classes. This tar, which is carefully saved
as 1t exudes from the wood when burned,
was first used as substitute tor wheel
grease IN Russia. as it 10 this day, and then
for the filling and dressing OF skins. BY a
system of careful inquiry, and literally fol.
lowing his nose during his visits to some OF
the great Russian tanneries and curriers'
shops, Mr. Jewell found this compound In a
great kettle ready for use, and thus the mys
terry was solved. 1t is not expensive, costing
about $40 barrel, and he Immediately or
dered ten barrels and sent them to various
leading manufacturers 10 this country with
Instructions; and the result Is that genuine
Russian leather goods are now made in
America, and doubtless will be sold at nearly
fifty per cent. below former prices. -Fdterson

Admitting the facts to be as they are repor
