CoRREsPoNDENcE.-"Citize is
disgruntled about certain actions Of
the corporate authorities in remov-
ing sidewalk distractions. He re.
CARDS empty "barrels and boxes, ETC.,
as advertisements of mercantile es-
Establishments which should be toler-
ated on sidewalks because they are
advertisements. At the same time
we very much fear "Citizen" is one OF
those good people who "don't believe
in advertising"-in the proper way.
Perhaps he was born too early and
contracted barbaric notions upon the
subject which no action of the Town
Council can persuade him to shake
off.
Messrs. Hitchins Bros. bring to our
notice, in double sense, the virtues
of the new brand of coffee, "Nectar-
ine," which they are dispensing to
their large patronage. In addition
to the qualities and advantages of this
candidate for public favor which they
have SO eloquently cited, may be
named the fact that it is apparently
prepared for consumption with more
than ordinary care. Intrlnslcally,
Mocha and Java, as everybody knows,
are the best cofees Of commerce, but
even this distinction may be destroy
ed, as is very frequently the case,
in domestic processes by immoderate
rapid roasting. So that, uniting with
the scientifc adjustment of standard
constituents in a combination, the pro-
cess of slow roasting which, first, per-
mits the evaporation ofits Microscopic
water, and secondly, reversal of the
process which confines the aromatic
qualities to the berry, the result is in
evitably favorable. In this coffee
the grain is chestnut-b brown, and
when made by distillation, rather than
by infusion or decoction. it reaches
the highest purpose for which, as
beverage, it is designed. We make
these remarks after a thorough test.
We bespeak for it trial, as it is the
best we ever used.
We do not think the Ne'OS is
chargeable with an effort to keep up
strife between the miners and opera
tors, as cited by "a Frostburger. "
Brother johnson, like many others
who do not know our people, is accus-
toned to listen to and contemplate
only one side where labor disputes
occur. The chronic conclusion in
such cases is that the miners are in
the wrong of course, and no amount
of justification removes it, beo ause it
becomes habit to discredit every
thing said in their behalf, Still it
should be the business Of a newspaper
which speaks of "the miners of this
region" to know them better, if not
to regard them as an important por-
tion of its constituency. Hence, as
we have frequently argued, the idea
that this is the Cumberland coal re-
gion" is altogether erroneous; other
wise, it appears very strange that a
CumberlatO newspaper should know
Gas we think, or care Gas "a Frost
burger" evidently thinks so little Of
the interests Of large and indispen-
sable class of Cumberland citizens
The letter from Rockville is anoth-
er voluntary contribution to sixth dis
trict congressional literature. The
writer is evidently strong personal
friend of Judge Alvey (and who is
not0 Very happily, too, as one who
knows of whom and what he is wri-
ting, he cites several striking partisan
and non-partisan reasons why he
should be nominated. "From an in
dependent orany other standpoint"
they appear unanswerable.
