more expansive fields than Huntington
affords.
Charles Mooney, telegraph operator at
Ashland, spent the Sabbath with parents.
A painful accident occurred near the
Snow factory on Tuesday last. Young
Jeffries while driving powerful horse
of Huckins s. Horr, was thrown in the
wheels and severely injured, and We
learn has since died.
The services on Decoration day were
worthy of more extended notice than
can now give. At any early hour faith
full wives and sisters were arranging TO-
raj offerings;' all hands were willing,
yea, anxious to offer come tribute to our
illustrious dead. At noon Major Smead's
band of martial mutic and the Sullivan
Brass Band arrived and discoursed sweet
music throughout Il g afternoon. Prayer
was offered at the monument, then 81,
marched to the church, where Rev. A. 5
Fox delivered the Grafton and j. F.

church was filled to OVERLOOKING. The
death roll read by Louisa Clark, brought
to our minds loved ones that were gone,
yet their memories will linger with US,
and their sacrifices will sctuate US to
love our country and its honors. With
slow, yet solemn tread, each grave was
visited. The name, place and manner
of death was announced, while floral Of
ferings were deposited and an appropri-
ate verse sung. The exercises through
out we're very impressive and interesting.
Their memories shall ever live.

are correct enough, 30 far as most works
of the kind are concerned; bat the pub
hshers Of Webster's seem to look upon
its nature and mission in quite q differ

twenty years there has been no single
secular volume before the country of
greater value than the unabridged. Still
its owners are not satisfied. They have

comprehensively treated features which
raised it to its present position. with the
addition, since the last previous issue, of
almost i1ve thousand new words and
meanings and new biographical die
tionary Of nearly ten thousand names.

sensible addends to the great works that

NUMBER OF WORDS IN USE.

The vocabulary of the ancient sages Of
Egypt was about 685 words. A well-edu-
Gated person seldom uses more than 200
or 4, 900 in actual conversation. Accurate
thinkers and close reasoners employ .
larger stock, and eloquent speakers may
rise to o command of 10000. Shakespeare
produced all his plays with about Is 900.
Millions works are built up with 5000, yet,
with all these, there is not enough to accur-
ately describe the superiority and general
excellence of the world-renowned Carbo-
line, which is an elegant dressing, removes
dandruff, cleans the scalp, prevents the
hair from falling out. restores the hair on
bald heads, restores it to its original color,
makes it grow rapidly, will not stain the
skin, contains not q particle of lead, silver,
sulphur, or other deleterious drugs. 1t is .
natural product of the earth, containing
the elements required by the hair to feed
upon. A few applications will show its
restorative qualities. Does not require
mouths of continued use before you can
perceive any result 1t is cooling, cleanly,
and too much praise cannot be bestowed
upon it. Sold by all dealers in drugs and
medicines. Price One Dollar bottle. We
advise our readers to give it trial, feeling
satisfied that one application will convince
them Of its wonderful effects.

The murder Of Cook BY Falkner a.

Tie murder Of Cook by Falkner at
Avon, ID another instance Of q mis-spent
life, ending In . shocking and ignoble
death. Cook was graduate at Oxford,
was the son Of wealthy parents, had
many influential friends and all the op-
portunities Of cultivated natural gifts
and worldly endowments for making q
useful and good man. Instead Of which
he indulged in scrapes, was q perpetual
grief to his relatives and . disgrace to
his family name, and preferred low COM
panions and the life of drunken brawl-
er and fisherman. and instead of living
respectfully where he belonged, lodged
m . hovel, slept three in q bed with
other drunkards whom he had infani-
ties for when he was sober and pum-
meled to dishguration when he was mer-
~ or mad with drink.
The excuse of Falkner that he was
frenzied with drink and knew nothing of
the killing of his comrade, is the old ex-
cuse. A person has no right to drink to
madness, and since he never knows the
line Of danger, he has no business to
taste at all. The poor drunkard who
went over Niagara the other day, knew
the eddies and the currents and the
swiftness Of the river well, but his expe-
rience and daring availed him nothing.
because he was reckless or stupid with
drink. Whisky il too much for any
man. None are strong enough to defy
the power Of alcohol.
Falkner was Q comrade in the army
with some Of our soldiers Of the 103d. 1t
Is said that he had not the brutal coun-
tenance Of murderer, and probably
never thought to descend to killing his
friend. But these two men had ''sowed
to the wind" in the indulgence Of
low habits and the abuse of their oppor-
tunities Of knowing and doing better.
Both will ''reap the whirlwind" in the
unnecessary forfeit Of their lives, not
living out half their appointed days.

best for deep cheese. Always have
as in warm weather great damage and
loss result from such neglect. Either
factory brand or ahipping brand should
be put neatly on covers. The net weight
of each cheese should be plainly marked
ON side Of the box-not on COVERS.
Every cheese should have white-wood
scaleboard on both top and bottom.
Give good weight, that will hold out
when tested by the New York sworn
weighmaster. When shipping at r. r.
