streets, on last Thursday afternoon, a
team of horses belonging to Noah Dever
became frightened, and ran up Main
street to Portsmouth street, and along
Portsmouth street to the residence of
Thomas T. Jones, west of the School
House, where they went through the
fence, dragging the wagon after them.
Horses and wagon were considerably the
worse forthe little excursion.

A few days ago DR.. 1. T. M onahan took
us through the Isham House, to show us
the great improvements made in the
rooms since we boarded there, in 1915.
The floor of the dining room has been
lowered some three or four feet, making
the ceiling that much higher from the
floor. Other improvements have been
made and now Uncle Joe Paterson is
carrying on the hotel on common sense
principles, and you can get meals vic
tuals there that will remind you of how
you live at home, if you have good
home, and good wife, who knows how
to cook.
This is not exclusively paid notice.
While we charge for it, we will say, free,
that Uncle Joe is no ordinary hotel
keeper, who cares only for the money he
gets. He and Mrs. Patterson seem to
delight in making their guests feel as if
at home.
Try the Isham House under Uncle
Joes administration.

Some of the doctors in this place think
that some persons are little rough on
them on account of their pauper prac-
tice. They say they are called rascals,
robbers, thieves, &c.
Now, while we admit that there few
rather ''ornery" men pretending to be
doctors, yet the profession in this county
is composed in the main Of as honest
honorable men as can be found in the
county. They perhaps earn all they
charge, and the poor must not suffer for
medical aid, while there is a dollar of
property in the county. The fearful in
crease of pauperism is matter that
should engage the attention of all, and
the causes of the same should be carefully
studied by all political economists, and
Christian philanthropists. The physi-
clans are not to blame for this great in
crease of pauperism more than others,
and not nearly so much as some others.

NATIONS WITHOUT FIRE.

According % Piinny. fire was . long
time unknown to some of the ancient
Egyptians; and when Exodus, the
celebrated astronomer. showed it to
them, they were absolutely In rapture.
The Persians, Phenicians, Greeks. and
several other Nations acknowledge
that their ancestors were once with
out the use Of fire, and the Chinese
confess the same of their progenitors.
Pompanien, Mola, Plutarch, and other
ancient writers speak of Nations who,
at the time they wrote, knew not the
use of fire or had just learned it. Facts
of the same kind are also attested by
several modern Nations. The inhab-
itants of the Marian Islands, which
were discovered in 1851, had no idea
effire. Never was astonishment great
Or than theirs when they saw it on the
desert Magellan, in one of their is
lands. At first they believed it was
some kind of animal that fixed to and
fed upon wood. The inhabitants of
the PHILIPPINE and Canary Islands were
formerly equally ignorant. Africa
