The sale of the GOODRICH property has at
last been consumated and deed executed
NJ. FL. LAN1NG was the purchaser and imme-
diately presented it to his daughter, Mrs. C.
B. PORTER. The purchase includes not only
the real estate, but a large amount of lawn
fixtures, all the carpets, chandeliers, large
mirror, one bedroom set, furnace, range, &c.
The price paid was $9425. 1t is not often
that a seller Of property refuses the money
for it. but in this instance the heirs stipulated
that the larger portion of the purchase money
shall remain as a lien OH the property. To
this the purchaser reluctantly consented.-
Mr.. PORTER is TO take possession about the
first of May. We congratulate him and his
good wife on securing for home one of the
finest residences in Towanda, which has been
greatly enhanced in value by the iudicious ex-
penditure of money in keeping it IN the very
best repair, as well as by the display of un-
usual aesthetic taste in all the appointments
of the elegant premises.

To Our Readers.

Aiming. as we do. 10 publish newspaper,
il IA In accordance with this determination
that we call the attention OF our readers to
facts connected with one Of the largest facto-
ries employing skilled labor in this country.
Last February, dispatches were sent from
81. Louis 10 the press everywhere that the
molders employed by the Excelsior Malu-
featuring Co.. 30 well and fayorably known
as the makers of the CHARTER OAK STOVES
and RANGES, had made demands that the
Company could not comply with. The re-
suit was that the works were curtailed in
their production, and the officers obliged TO
look about them for different class OF labor.
Now, after nearly four months, during
which time THE Company has been con-
stantly adding to the small force who stood
by them from the first, Mr.. Geo. ID. Dana,
the Secretary, reports that full force Of ex
celent men have been obtained, and that the
works are running sufficiently ull-handed
to enable them to fill all orders with even
more carefully constructed goods than be-
fore.
also that the molders have admitted defeat,
their places having been filed with strictly
non-Union men.
Those Of our readers who kn0tr what the
CHARTER OAK STOVE is will rejoice TO hear
that its makers have been successful in over
coming what threatened 10 be serious inter-
ruption to their business, and those who
have been unable for few weeks to obtain
them will also rejoice, for their wants can
now be promptly met. And we would say
to all who have not yet examined them, do
so at once, and you'll never regret II.

Mummy Wheat.

The statement is frequently made that
wheat has been raised from seed found
in EGYPTIAN tombs which had been rest

still retained vitality. There is no rea-
sonable doubt that grain was once
grown in England from seed supposed
to be ancient Egyptian. The quest on

A steamer stolen last year has been
heard from and is likely to be recovered
by its owners. The Ferret, small
Scotch screw steamer, was chartered by
two persons for six months cruise in
the Mediterranean. She mysteriously
disappeared after leaving Cardiff, and
all efforts to trace her whereabouts were
unavailing until short time ago, when
she turned up in Melbourne under the
name of India. 1t appears that the
thieves repainted the hull, changed
her name to Benton and went to SAN
tos, Brazil, for cargo of coffee, which
they sold for $50, 200, and again chang
ing her name TO India, sailed to Mel
bourne, where they were captured.

Flaxseed for Stock.

From all accounts, the amount of flax
seed sown this season is unusually large.
In many places where the prospect for
a crop Of fall-sown wheat was poor, the
ground was plowed up quite early in the
spring and sown to flax. In some parts
of the West, farmers sow fax on newly
turned sod for the purpose of preparing
the ground for a crop of wheat the fol-
lowing year. 1t requires less labor TO
SOW and harvest a crop of flax than to
plant and gather crop of corn, and
many state that the ground is in better
condition after the flax than the corn.
Sod corn is not salable, but flaxseed al
ways finds ready market. The expense
of marketing flaxseed is less than for any
crop that can be raised on the same
amount Of land. 1t is generally worth
more per bushel than any kind of grain,
and il is manufactured in the West in
stead of in the East. In many sections
the manufacturers of linseed oil furnish
seed to homesteaders and other poor
farmers with view of securing their
crop when harvested. The manufacture
of this oil is very profitable, as the oil
cake sells for more than half the sum
paid for the seed from which it is made.
Nearly all of it goes TO Great Britain,
where its value for feeding to all kinds
of stock is better appreciated than in
this country. But little use is made of
oil-cake or of ground flaxseed in the
United States, except to feed to calves
and mich COWS that are in poor condi-
ton in the spring. Few have employed
either of them as part Of the regular
diet for stock, or for the purpose of pre-
pairing animals for the butcher. There
is no necessity for extracting the oil from
flaxseed before feeding it to stock. In
fact, the oil it contains is the most valu-
able portion of it. Pure ground flax
seed, when fed alone, is too rich, but
If mixed with meal, bran or shorts it is
excellent for all kinds of stock. An ex-
perienced feeder recommends mixing
one bushel of flaxseed with seven of corn
and the same number of oats and grind
ing them together. There is no better
feed for calves "brought up by hand"
than boiled flaxseed and skinned milk.
1t is the best substitute for fresh milk.
A small amount of ilaxseed should be fed
at first, but the amount can be increased
to pound day by the time the calves
are a month old.-Chicago Times.

AT Willow Creek, San Benito Coul

AT Willow Creek, San Benito Coun-
ty, Cal, man named Hunt drove up
10 the mines with load of provisions,
and on reaching high point of the road
fastened his horses to a tree which stood
near a precipice while he went TO a
cabin. During the absence of the young
man blast was let off in the mine, and
he returned hastily to the spot where he
had left the horses and wagon. When
he arrived he found both horses had
stripped themselves of the harness and
both were hanging by the halters over
the bank One of them was dead, hav-
ing been choked to death. He cut them
both loose. The living horse rolled to
the foot of the precipice, about $50 feet.
Arriving at the bottom he got up and
shook himself.

party, whether anti-monopolists or
.demogogues, the principles ia what
makes the issue and not the names of
the party. While there are many in
teresls involved in the anti monopoly
fight throughout the country, the
immediate issue in this state and To-
oslity is, shall the railroads continue
to WELD the power and control the
elective offices of our state aad ceun-
ties. All through the history OF ma
tions and people, we 6nd that one

political or civil power. that the
duties which exact from the common
people soon become burdensome, and
as they continue unmolested in that
power, they Build themselves up at
the expense of the people.
The railroads of this state are quite
liberal considering they are dictators
and rulers, but we object to their pc.
litical power, believing it belongs en-
tirely to the people and should be
controlled by them. II any one has
any doubts as to whether the railroads
control our state Offices, take notice
of the state board which make the
assessment on railroad property. Look
through the counties OF the state in

Why the county commissioners have
the railroad lands stricken from the

from the railroad papers and if they
