-We nre verv mnnh afraid I'VE an

We are very much afraid we shall
be obliged to go without an organ this
year. The makers, as we understand
the offer, want to sell us 1925 organ,
and take 75 cents in advertising and
$l24.25 in cash. The offer is liberal
one and we do not doubt that we could
make money out of it, We could, of
course, raise the $124.25 without any
trouble, but we do not for the life of us
see where we could find room for the
rs cents worth of advertising. If the
manufacturers want to do 81 900 worth
of advertising we are willing to do it,
and will take 1875 in cash and 1925
organ as compensation, or we will make
almost any kind of an arrangement at
this rate, but we really fear we shall be
obliged once for all to decline doing
business on the magnificent terms Of
fered by them. - Stilll0ater Lttnberman.

"A lawyer once asked the late Judge
Pickens, OF Alabama, to charge the jury
that "it is better that ninety and nine
guilty men should escape than that one
innocent man should be punished. :"
" Yes" said the witty Judge, II will
give that charge; bNt, in the opinion of
the Court, the ninety and nine guilty
men have already escaped in this coul.

Fatal Accident.

A fatal accident occurred at the
camp of S. Flanders, in the town
ship of Ossinlse, on Thursday of last
week. The facts as we learn them,
are substantially as follows: On
Monday Paul Bousha, employed at
the above camp, in some way re-
ceived slight blow from the limb
of tree that was falling, which
frightened him so that he dared
not venture to work on the two
next days; but on Thursday he
again went ont. and was engaged
in emitting a road near where tree
was being cut down. When the
tree commenced falling, BOnsha
became bewildered and ran some
distance, in the direction Of the
falling tree, and toward the log
road. He was struck on the head
by some of the falling branches,
and instantly killed. The body
was brought to- this city on Satnr-
day and an inquest held, the verdict
being in accordance with the above
facts. The remains were buried
on Saturday.
We learn that the deceased has
two married sisters 10 Detroit, and
n mother at Detroit or Windsor.
He was about thirty years of age,
was formerly a sailor, and last sum-
mer worked on the harbor works
ut Sand Beach.

The Prospects,.

At present the prospects for sue
cessful business with the lumber
men are decidedly discouraging.
There has been no snow at all in
most Of the numbering region dn-
ring the entire winter, and lumber
men in many instances will fall very
far short of getting in their con-
tracts, unless from four to six weeks
sleighing shonld yet be in store be-
fore the opening of spring; and
such an event is, no doubt, almost
among the Representatives,. The
season is now too far advanced to
look for any continued sleighing,
even if snow should come. The
present indications are that about
half n stock of logs will undouht-
eddy be put in, and with this amount
the mills would not he able to fur
nish labor for the workingmen, who
depend upon the mills for bread
during the season of operation, and
many will no doubt, unless they
seek some other means OF gaining
livelihood, be in rather limited
circumstances.
Now what remains for the labor
ing mani He is better Off than he
imagines. There are hundreds Of
men in this city who already own
farms in this county, bnt who will
not settle upon and cultivate their
lands so long as they are able to
earn half enough in town to main
tain scanty living. Let them he
driven to their lands, and by the
time they have farmed it two years
they will he thoroughly convinced
that they can make more money,
and a better living, In one year on
a farm than they could in four or
five years hanging about town; and
then, too they would be helping 70
settle the county, enhance the value
Of their own property, and bring
ing the reputation of the agricul-
tural resources Of the county still
higher in estimation. The time i:
surely coming when these owners
Of land will he compelled to cult
vate their farms, and the sooner
they make n commencement, the
sooner they will comprehend how
unwise they have been in allowing
so much valuable time to pass away
before they made movement to
ward agricultural pursuits.

No special activity in trade has
marked the week Just closed. Bus
mess has perhaps shown a little

to the short run of olighing inioyeh,
but merchants are not confident
that the improvement is lasting.
The agitation Cf the tariff question,
with its contemplated changes, to-
gether with the silver question.
still unsettled, have undoubtedly
had depressing effect and ten
dency to produce an uneasy and
dissatisfied tone.
Dry goods have ruled quiet and
prices steady, except IN y certain
line of prints, which have beer
marked down l-2c.
Drugs and chemicals have met
with a light order trade, and val
ues on the whole are unchanged.
OF oils, kerosene has declined lie
per gallon.
Most lines Of hardware goods
exhibit considerable strength, but
the movement is light.
Trade in groceries have been
moderately large; teas continue
firm raisins. dried fruits and can
ned goods dull, with values I'M
changed. Hats, caps, furs, boots
and shoes, owing to the unseasona-
Die weather, are dull stock.
