WEST BErHEL.-A general time OF bad
colds and lung complaints seem to rule
almost everyone has had = ,lra Thore
ar few cases OF diphthcria. bat mono
haze proved fatal in this vicinity.
&. II. Brown. E.q OF Mason. has
been confined 10 the house nearly two
weeks, out ulder the treatment OF Dr..
Davis il now gaining.
Mrs. II. G. Mason, Of Mason, died on
the 2O.h inst. OF lung fever. She has
long been feeble with consumption aud
lar outliyed the expectations Of her many
friends. Az a sister she was q constant
attendant at the Grange, when weather
was suitable, where her seat will now be
vacant. but in the hearts of the brothers
aud sisters there wlll be no vacancy, Tor
she will ever be remembered as "a worthy
sister and benevolent mother. IL Is the
mrs, death within our gates since The or
ganizalion of Pleasant Valley Grange
nearly four years ago.
LINN bering is no, so brisk In our village
rs winters before, although quite o guam
tity OF birch and poplar is being hauled
TO Beams mill, which started up one week
ago.
Stock seems to be winIering well, not
suffering with extreme cold US il does IN
some seasons; yet there is time for such
suffering. We can call the winter nearly
half gone and the thermometer has
touched 6 deg. below only once, and that
think is worthy happy thought tor
Maine winter.
A Mr. Cummings from Vermont gave
a lecture st our village school-house last
Friday evening upon patent fertilizers,
ior the benefit OF our farmers, and he
spoke in high praise OF one called Spar
hawk q Billiards. Fertilizer, which be
claims can be got up for sum not ex'
ceeding seven dollars per ton. de i;
deciding individual rights to make and
use. tor three dollars each. Can any Of
the readers Of the Democrat give Us any
personal know edge OF such fertilizer
If so We would be glad to receive light
II il is what it was represented 10 be, the
tanners all need it, and that is just what
We want ~ know. u.

A Brave Act.

A down train on the Reading railroad,
due at PottsvilIe, Pa, on Saturday, ar,
rived more than three hours behind
time. having been detained by an acc',
dent that but for the presence Of mind
of a brave man would have been a
frightful catastrophe. The repairmen
had taken out n rail upon the high tres,
tie near Rupert. and stationed the red
danger signal at the proper point for
the stoppage of trains. A north bound
freight train came along soon after, the
engineer of which saw the signal; but,
having some cars TO switch near the
point, supposed he could run by it n
sufficient distance TO make the entrance
to the eiding. and accordingly disregard
ed the warning. AS his engine ap-
preached the trestle he discovered his
fearful mistake, and instantly leaped tc
tho ground. Tae boss Of the repair
gang, taking in at a glance the Imminent
peril OF the situation, bravely sprant
upon the locomotive, reversed her anC
applied the brake, and although unable
to prevent her leaving the track, sue
ceeded in stopping her upon the very
brink of the dizzy height.
