JERIcHo-A BIRTH DAY PARTY Deacon
John t. Clapp. of Jericho. invited a few of
his friends to dine with him, July Both, the
eiehtieth anniversary of his birth day. The
invited guests, including children and
grandchildren, filled his house promptly,
expecting an ENJOYABLE season, and they
were not disappointed. The good deacon
knew bow to keep them in right good
humor, and royal dinner contributed
largely to the prevailing good cheer. After
dinner the party repaired to the parlor, and
their names and ages were registered. The
dates of births ranged from April
l2th. 1873, the Youngest. of the
"Old Peoples Party" The last named
is young lady OF commanding presence
and influence, and her quiet. unassuming
department made her the belle or doll among
all the ladies. She did not mako the slight
est objection u having her age recorded,
which could hardly be said of some who are
in the forties or f!ties or upwards.
There were six persons present whose az
gregate age is sol years. There were fl
teen other persons present between 60 and
80 years OF age. There were also a good
many young people present. This class in
includes all under sixty years Of age, and
We cannot properly give them prominence
IN THIS account OF an 'Olu feOple = farty.
They are worthy young people, and We
hope that every one of them will celebrate
the eightieth anniversary of their birthday.
The records having been completed and
order restored. there was singing from Watts
Psalms, and prayers. Then followed a well
spoken welcome by Dea. Clapp, who ex-
pressed great pleasure at meeting his
friends on the occasion. Kindly remarks
were made by several of the guests, and
pleasant hour closed by reading the follow
ing lines, written for the occasion. by a lady
eighty-four years Of age:
A Crown for the honor'd brow.
The Laurel round 1t press,
Whose fourscore years OF life have passed,
In ways of Righteousness
The hoary head adorned
With VISIONS diadem
More glorious Is than Monarch crown,
Or midas costliest gem.
In Joy or sorrow led
Ger all LIES changing road,
In hope or fear, In light or shade,
Thy trust was still in God.
The shades are length'nng now.
The darkness OF the grave
Will shortly gather round thy brow
Still Christ hath power to save.
In God hath been thy trust
And when thy race Ia
1t may be written DER thy dust,
''Seryant Of God, well done"

About all the mills on Puget Sound
are having new and improved ma
chinery and steam power added to
them. Port BlakcIy is having an
addition that will increase the man
uiacture OF lumber to nearly 10000
feet in II hours. Port Madison is
having two new engines where they
only had one, and a new gang saw,
which will make them equal in run
ming ability to Port Blakely. The
Port Gamble mill Co. have added all
the late improved machinery for the
manufacturing Of lumber thereby in
crcasing their capacity about one
fourth. The Seabeck mill is being
enlarged and new boilers and machi-
merry pat in that will make her rank

has in the past twelve months been

Neutrality-suspicious. latest
step forward is made by an ingenious
logger and is an invention forfelling
trees. The Seattle L,ieY,yeacsr gives
the following description of il, and
if il is successful. which seems doubt
ful to u, will work radical change
in the loggingenterprize ofthis Coast
as we'll rs elsewhere: "The inven-
tion consists of thin metal wire ex-
tending between two galvanic bat
teries which is brought to a red heat
as soon rs those elements are set to
work, and it will stay in that condition
rs long as they are working. 1t is
said this wire will cut through the
hardest tree, and there is neither
waste, chips nor sawdust, but leaves
merely a black char. BY this
method an ordinary tree can be cut
down in fifteen minutes. whereas by
the present way it would take three
hours Of hardest labor"
