UPPER FLATS IrEMs.-on last
Tuesday, we attended the funeral of
one of Mr.. Robert Picken's children.
1t was little boy 10 months Old
The bereaved parents have our SYM
pathy.
Mr.. Albert Roush, who was badly
hurt by a fall some time ago, is now
able to be around again.
Our school has been well attended
forsome time past. The teacher says
that the pupils make very rapid
progress in their studies. The adj
vanced class in Arithmetic was con.
siderably amused at the manner in
which the teacher explained cube
root. He cut blocks out of large
turnip which answered the purpose
admirably.
We were almost overwhelmed with
surprise at hearing of the death of
Miss Aggie Ball, of Robinson District.
She attended our last 4th of July eel
bration, and incur estimation was one
of the finest looking young ladies on
the ground. BY her unexpected fate,
We are warned that we too must die
sooner or later. Death is no respect
er ofpersons. Therefore weall should
live day by day, 50 that when we are
summoned to our eternal home, we
shall be ready and willing to go.
DR.. L. f. Roush, one of our worthy
delegates, sent US copy of the State
Treasurer's Report fol the fiscal years
1867 and 1S77-S, which we prize
very highly. May the Doctor become
distinguished in the House of Dele
gates,
When snow falls to the average
depth of IA inches, we put our
"bri,ches' outside of our boots and
tie strings around them. This ar
rangement was very fashionable
eight or ten days ago.
Weddings have been very numer-
Gus in these parts this winter. We
know not how to account for so many
weddings, unless it is owing to the
continued severity ofthe weather.

Church, on Tuesday afternoon last. He
took for the foundation of his remarks
the 18th and 18th verses of the 5lst
Psalm: "ke' tore unto me the Joy of thv
salvation; anI uphold me with thy tree

the present century, nor the advantages
we daily experience from cheap and
rapid transportation of letters. In l'i2
the New York City Directory for that
wear coutain ned the following rates of pos
tage "Postage for any letter not exceed
lag 80 miles, 6 cents go mile,, 3 cents
$50 miles, 10 cents $50 miles, 20 cents ;
45O miles, % cents. Every double letter
shall pay double said rates" ON the 10Th
OF January, 1910, the reform known as
"penny postage" was established in Eng
land. Before that day single letter from
London to Edinburgh less than four hun
dred miles, was rated at Is. sd and a
double letter at %. 3D., the minutest en-
closure raising the price to IS. Aid, or
nearly dollar. In twenty-one years the
number of letters transmitted by the
office had risen, under favor of the pen
nv post, from seveuty-seven millions To
five hundred and fotty-five millious,
while the cost has increased only fifty
per cent.

THE 10th of January, 1884, died Ed

who, at Geneva, in his salad days, fell
violently in love with pretty and pen

and worldly hi nded father would not
hear of az "A wife for him. He lived IA
comfortable industrious, and obese bach

the Roman Empire" She lived a cheap
ly-clad, hard-working teacher of Ian
guages, until rich French banker fell
in love with her, and carried her Oft to
Paris, there to help him in his efforts to
redeem France through financial re-
forms, and to give birth to wonderful
daughter. So that if the paterhal Glib

world would have been the poorer prob

A MOUNTAIN OF SALT.-There is in
the State of Louisiana mountain of salt
rising out of low marsh to the height
of 40 feet. Specimens of rock salt have
been taken from the base of this noun
tain that is of pure white crystals, with
white exfoliations. The salt mine in
question is on the island of Petit Anne,
a tract of 1900 acres, near the Gulf Of
Mexico The shallowness of the ap-
proach to the island requires the con-
s.ruction of causeway to dep water
before this remarkable salt mine, which
has been opened into the pure rock salt
to depth of 60 feet, can be economical
ly worked. The quantity Of underlying
salt is estimated at at least 1000, 600
tons. The quality of the salt is shown
by analysis to be equal in purity to the
best Liverpool salt.

While Miss Sue Ienimyer, mixer,
employed at Elizabeth Dairy Farm, Le-
banou county, was laughing heartily at
the herdsman, who had been "upset" by
a COW he was milking, dislocated her
mouth, and SO was obliged TO walk home
with her mouth open. AS it happened,
a physician was visiting her invalid
father al the time she arrived home. But
new difficulty awaited her, as she found
ii impossible to tell them what ailer her.
BY pantomimic signs and actions she
finally made them comprehend, and heI

THE FINANCES OF READING.-Mayor
Evans, of Reading, in message to the
City Council of that city, shows condi-
tion of its finances that is no doubt graft
flying to its citizens at this time, when
so many cities are having great financial
trouble. Not only have the municipal
expenses of Reading been kept within
the cty's income, but the liabilities Of
the corporation have been decreased
nearly forty thousand dollars. He also
encourages his constituents to look fol
even better results next year. Now that
the spirit Of economy is being engrafted
on the minds Of the people, ii is possible
that it may become as fashionable as il
was to be eXtravasant, and we may in
dulge in a hope that the better fashion
may become 50 strong as to reach tn,
capitals of the States, and thence TO tina
of the nation, where corruption ha
reigned unchecked.

THE Republican still opposes the propo-

back to the citizens of Delaware the
money which the State appropriated To
furnish substitutes TO the army. Della
ware is small, but was forced by some
means to furnish larger number Of men
for the army that any other State accord

although Democrat, and called by that
paper "disloyal," appointed a lifelong
opponent of that party at the head of the
State militia, while the Adju'ant Gene

Governor a war Democrat (so-called)
