section near Pinchers' Point, on the B. d.
Division, below Phillipsbnrg II seems that
the first section WAS stopped by the trackmen

Every good citizen should sustain Mayor
Holcombe in his effort to close mp segar, oys-

Sunday. But few, if any. would advocate the
general opening of business places ON that
day. 1t is very evident that if one is allowed
to keep open, all have an equal right to do
business ON that day. The law regaIding the
cessation of work ON Sunday is for the benefit
of the working people, who otherwise might
be compelled to labor without cessation; and
no man who favors the well-being of society
will do anything to break down the Sunday
laws.

pAy.-.,Bishop Scarborough preached stirring,
practical sermons to large and attentive con-
gregations, morning and evening, and pre-
faced his sermons by few words OF encour-
agement and congratulstion noticing, in the
evening, with special pleasure, the cheering
evidences of growth and success at Fleming
ton, where the beautiful little church, finish
ed, paid for, free, and crowded, had more
than realized his hopes for that part of the
Mission work in Hnnterdon. The Bishop
confirmed three persons at .he close of the
morning service, and then addressed them
with earnestness aud tenderness on their
privilege and outy as professed members of
the Church. The music was spirited aud fine,
the Juvenile choir being fortified by the addi.
tion of several well-known gentlemen, whose
voices one is always glad TO hear. Altogether,
the services of the Sunday were a fitting pre-.
lude to the glad celebration Of the Birthday
of Christ, to be kept week later.

The following from the Olympia
Courier concerning the pernicious pis-
toll habit prevailing among our peo-
pie is to the point, and worthy of con-
sideration:
In view of the numerous shooting af-
fairs and unprovoked murders, of late,
on this northern coast, most of which
are directly the result Of the practice of
carrying concealed weapons, our COM
ing legislature should enact stringent
laws forbidding the practice and CIV
ing law officers the right Of search
in cases where there is reasonable
ground to suspect that such weapons
are carried. When . man Is in Ii
quor, with a self-cocking revolver in
his pocket, he is about rs dangerous
as nitro-glycerine torpedo, and the
law should be such that the public
can be protected from the one as we'll
as the other. It has got to be the GUS
tom for the murderer to ascribe as
reason for shooting that "the other
man made q motion toward his hip
pocket, and he did not want him to
get the drop" One coward, with q
pistol assumes to think everyone else
equally cowardly and that he must
shoot at the "drop Of the hat" to
avoid being himself shot down.

rem. They moved to this place from the
state of Illinois; their clearing does not yet
include more than five or six acres. must
say that I was totally unprepared for our
splendid reception and for the elegant din
ner to which We were treated in the midst
of these tall woods. Such q fine dinner in
the depth Of the forest, appeared absurdly
improbable and needed the solid proofs we
received that it was welcome reality: Mr..
Alling's land is very fertile and everything
does we'll. He is starting q nursery which
is very thrifty indeed. After dinner we took
walk with our entertainers to the Wapato
Lakes, two sheets of water situated within
less than mile from Mr.. Alling's farm.
The two lakes come to within about six rods
from each other in one place and Mr.. Alling
has with persevering efforts cut canal across
the ridge Of land which separates them, so
that he can shove his boat from one into
the other. The larger lake is nearly or quite
one mile long and more than twice as large
as the smaller one. Both sylvan sheets rest
like quiet beauties, mirroring the tall forest
trees. 1t was real treat to row over them.
Game abounds and If We had been provided
with fire arms we could easily have secured
some water fowls. Mr.. Radebaugh has here
made claim which takes in about ten acres
of the larger lake, including several rows of
beaver dams which look as if they had been
vacated by their builders only few years,
ten or twenty at the most. Upon our return
to the house, Mr.. Alling showed US the dried
tail and paws of beaver, which only few
years ago became . victim to his unerring
rifle in this very lake. He also exhibited to
us many other trophies Of his proves as
Nimrod, amoDgwhich the skulls and antlers
of deer hold a conspicuous place. Mr.. Rade-
baugh has house on his claim, and intends
to reside here in the near future. If he is
fond of solitude and communion with nature,
he will certainly get an abundance Of both
until the incoming immigration shall turn
the pretty lakes into crowded summer resorts
and brighten the nymphs away here as it has
done with the pretty lake at my own Wis.
consin home. The natural loneliness of the
place will survive the intr usion here, as there,
yet prefer the quiet lakes as they are now
AS nature, that great landscape gardener,
has made them.
We returned to Tacoma in the evening by
a different road. We visited the new bury
ing ground which has, IS yet, but few occu-
pants. The land We drove through is sort
of gravelly prairie dotted here and there
with clump of beautiful evergreens not
more than ten feet in height and altogether
beautiful in their forms. and attractive to
the beholder. Verify, man, by the greatest
skill aud study could hardly produce such
charming effects as are here produced appar.
emily by chance. 1t is proposed to secure
this land, which for agricultural purposes
seems to be worthless. for public driving
park and fair grounds. G. D.

it was not the immediate cause of his
