Winter Wdlks About the

AS the storm-klng may soon be ex..

we are inclined To repeat the advice we
have hitherto given at this period, when
so many farmers in all sections are in
the habit Of negecting matters that cost
but little time and money about their
dwellings and outbuildings, but which
impart in themselves great comfort and
protection TO their families Among
them there is nothing that adds more,
not merely TO the comfort and conve-
nience, but to the health of the family,
than good walks. Wehave known these
| in many instan ,es to be utterly neglect-
ed. They are regarded az good enough
when the weather IL dry, and when the
| weather Is wet they cannot be made
| better. And thus year after year the
members of the family are left to wade
| through mud to the COW stables, hog
pens, wood or coal shed, to the pump
or spring house, 10 the place of drying
the wash, and 80 on. Now, the little
labor II would cost to make hard dry
paths TO ali these points Is not worth
mentioning. About every place there
are stones, Old mortar, bricks, &C.
which could be laid down az an excava
tton OF six inches, and covered with coal
ashes. THIS would last for dozou
years, and would always be dry in nv,
minutes after a rain. Or, in lieu of this
lay down board walks, which. if taker
up In the spring after the weather is sci
tied and carefully piled ur, will las
from eight to ten years.
Try it. 1T will save In shoe leathe

IT IS sAID "misery loves company"
and 30 1t seems the Republican having a
libel suit on its hands desires to have the
GAxnrTH involved in like trouble.
Hence it gives publicity to some rumor
that 1t has caught up about the court
room At New Castle. 1t says sin conse-
quence of the GAZETTE having accu. ed
Mr.. Rile Of voting illegally, that gentle
man, it was reported, had instituted
libel suit against the paper named" AS
the GAZETTE never "accused" Mr.. Rile
Of voting illegally, the remarks of the
Republican cannot be accurate. In fact
the GAZETTE does not know Mr..
Thomas Rile at all, and has said nothing
to irjure or prejudice any one to his dis
credit or disadvantage. A rumor that
Mr.. Rile was indicted for illegal voting
was stated by one of the GAZETTE re-
porters. 1t will be new thing to hold
. newspaper responsible for the current
rumors OF the day. How this rumor got
abroad from the Grand Jury room we
do not know. The GAZETTE did not
say that Mr.. Rile had voted illegally
but that be had been "indicted on q
charge Of voting on an altered tax re.
ceipt." II this was an error into which
our reporter had been drawn, we would
have corrected it at once, had Mr.. Rile
called our attention to 1t. An editor oil

tract from the Scranton (Pa.) Times as d
sample OF what they all say:
The Sprague Georgia Ministries at the
Academy last night fully sustained Their
reputation. We do not intend to go through
the programme to name each character. II
would only be in every instance repetition
of the same approval. We have seldom il
ever seen company better balanced, each
one being equal TO his par, and all Of them
good. The colored minstrel has the advan-
tage over bnrpt cork, in that the PECULIAR
ties Of dialect are not exaggerated. The
choruses were as fine as We have ever heard
il a minstrel show; we would not like to
say better, for we have heard Carncross n
Dixie in their palmy days. The finale at
The end Of part first, by the band, was a
most exquisite piece Of Instrumentation.
Everything they gave was good, and the
good house they had after the drafts thai
have heen made upon Scranton's patrons o.
the theatre this winter, show how fully they
are appreciated here. Their entertainment
was excellent, aid that was all we need sa.
about it.
