Sunday Schools,


tf' ''F'''s
AZ the recent New York state
Sunday school Convention,
held in this city, Rev Dr. Rufus W
Clark presented, in an address which
was published IN tho JowHW june
1th, plan for securing funds to
plant Sunday Schools over the
whole world In view Of the mar-
velous growth Of this institution the
past century, having from Robert
Raikes' small beginning in 1850,
reached membership in these
United States alone OF over seven
milions aud three hundred thous-
and, in view Of what has been ac-
compished with thorough organi-
zltiun by tho various Women 3
Boards Of Foreign Missions in the
last ten years, their aggregate an
uual income being now nearly half
u million Of dollars, aud in view OF
what has been douo within sixteen
years by tho Foreign Sunday School
Association, in planting sunday
Schools in Germany, France, Spain,
Italy, Hungary Russia, Mexico,
South America. Japan, and China.
DR.. Clark argued that the time had
come for the Sunday School to
make grand advance movement,
and organize to raise fuuds to es-
tablish Sunday Schools over the
world. The Foreign Sunday School
Association, in tho prosecution Of
its work, has never expended more
than four thousand dollars year,
aud they 20 I'd u iiciously use any
amount placed in their hands.
Through their thirty secretaries,
who meet weekly and correspond
in the German, French, italian.
Spanish and other languages with
foreign nations, they are familiar
with the wide and promising fields
that are open for their work.
With contribution of one cent a
yodr from each member of the Sun
day School in our laud the Associas
ton would have an annual income Of
$4,000. With one cent a week
they would receive three and q half
million dollars u year, Since the
delivery of DR.. Clark's address the
Association have adopted this plan,
aud have prepared beautiful boxes
with gilt lettering, to be hung up in
tue Sunday School room 20 receive
contributions. On the top OF the
box are the words, "rhe field is the
world > On one side tho objects ol
the Association are clearly stated.
On another side, the appeal. as fol-
lows "Well each member Of this
Sunday School put one cent q yeai

r. Milton Speer, of Huntingdon,
known as one of the most rapaci ous
salary grabbers in the State, has
been nominated for Congress in the
XVIIIth district, composed of the
counties of Franklin, Fulton, Juni-
alta, Huntingdon, Snyder and Perry.
Speer is the same mau who tried to
play chairman of the Democratic
state committee few years ago and
made ridiculous failure. Soon af-
ter his famous salary grab he be
came so odious in his own party

Hints About Flowers.

The art of arranging boqucts is
very simple. Having collected the
flowers TO bo used on II triy, all tho
supcrilllnS leaves should he stripped
from the stems, aud by placing the
ilowcrs side by SIDE, YOU can easily
soc the order IN which they can be
most advantageousIy displayeI. A
very pretty hand boquet can be
made by taking II small, straight stick
not over quarter oi an inch in dI'
amcter, tie II string over tho top OF il,
AMI b'ain by h-ten ug on Il few
divers on one very handsome one,
Tor centre piece, winding the string
about each stem rs you adi the low-
ers and lcaves to the bDqre,, AL
ways place the flowers with the
shortest stcms at tho top, prcserv-
ing the long stems for the base, and
finish of the bouquet with u fringe
Of finely cut foliage. Then cut all
the stems evenly, wrap damp cotton
a ouud them. ani cover h I'm with
paper cut in very pretty hce de-
sign. In making bouquets from gar
den flowers. such IA are most easy to
proc ure, the 0nwers can be arrang-
ed fatty, and background made
from sprays Of evergreens.

TIE CANDIDATES.

I am not here to make attacks on
the Democratic candidates. l am
quite sure am glad that the head
of the ticket was gallant Union
soldier. L will not be the man to
rob him Of a single one of the lau-
rels he SO nobly gained, aud 30 gall
lantly won in battle aud in beating
the life out Of the Democratic rebell-
ion. only ask that the Democrats
who are now 30 ready to vote for
this Union soldier, aud 80 ready to
praise him, now cease TO denounce
the men aud the party who fought
with him aud sustained him on the
fiercest blttle fields of the Republic
--men who, with him. upheld this
this great cause in which he gained
all his fame. When you stand by
him and glory in his dee Is, you
justify our cause, our acts aud our

After an absence OF seven years,

town of Weston During that time
many changes have occurred, We miss
MANY faces once familiar, and meet
many new ones. We are glad tn notice
many improvements in the way Of new
and isstv business houses and private
residences. Then, as YOU are aware,
Weston has been connected with the
outside world by railroad, which has
contributed no little TO the marked i'm

road also opens up new branch Of
trade here, the lumber trade, or at least
a market Tor manufacturing lumber.
All the lumber furnished by the mills
in this vicinity ueets with ready sale at
good cash rates Walnut and ash are
in good demsnd BY the different furni.

Pennsylvania keeps an agent here for
the purpose Of buying lumber for their
use. There il an enterprise on foot to

open up some excellent coal mines six
or eight miles above here, and the sur
vey Is now being made for narrow
posoe railroad 10 to these mines; TO be
built and controlled by Chicago capital
lists, who also own the coal lands.
The managers OF the Insane Asylum
had an excellent Thanksgiving dinner
prepared for these poor unfortunate In
mates. From all we can learn the pres
ent management does all in its power to
make the inmates as comfortable as pos
sible. Nothing that can be done for
their comfort is left un6one.
In Weston We were pleased 10
meet an old Wheeling man, James L..
Daugheity, E.G., who now represents
the Singer Manufacturing Company oil
Pittsburgh.
While in Weston We stopped at the
Bailey House, over which our jolly
friend, Major Tuustill, presides, and by
the way We advise all Wheeling people
aud every body else to 90 to the Bailey
House when visiting in Weston. Com-
Portable rooms, clean beds, table sup
piled with the best the market affords
and charges very reasonable.
On our return to Parkersburg We
spent few hours in the solid old town
OF Clarksburg, and here we find sever
al improvements made since our last
visit there. Several new business blocks
and fine dwellings have taken the place
OF old and inferior ones. We find our
old friend, w. Scott, formerly OF your
CITY, now located in Clarksburg, and in
addition to a good law practice he has
an interest in larg, book store here.
While i'm ClarEsburg we had the
pleasure of meeting Mr.. John ID. Rey-
