Dora Coas.-The last two days have been so
cool the demand for Dora coal has kept our
old friend Saylor very busy dealing out from
his new vein which, on account Of Its purity
and free burning qualities, has been in great
demand for neighborhood consumption.
Our hunters were IN the mountains last week
and met up with number of bears. Henry
Hanna had the good fortune to deliver the
death-shot to "l20 FOUNDER" after which he
pursued very large one several miles. The
dogs were harrassing him greatly, but from
terrible lunges he made, as evidenced by the
broken underground and the manner in which
the ground was torn up along his route, the
dogs were not able to cope with him or drive
him up tree as they did the one that was
killed. The tracks Of a number Of smaller
bears belonging to the same crowd were found
as tile huntslnen retired from the chase. Our
veteran hunters, Harry Shiftiett, Martin
MArlz, w. A. VICAR, E. Bolen and others were
in the chase. They propose trying to roust
the game again shortly. ITEMS

al sermon, Astounding in striking thoughts and
pointed applications. After the sermon, the
sacrament of the Lords Supper was admins
tered and three persons joined the church on
profession Of faith. During his twenty
years of service, Mr.. Baker has seen his con-
gregation grow from a small beginning to one
OF the largest in the state, and their increase in
numbers has been accompanied by cores
ponding increase in love for the good man who
has SO long and faithfully preached to them
the word and mlnistered to them as pastor.

NfuIching and Its Benefits.

Having used the term mulch for
these many years, we were deslrous
of learning its origin, and after much
search through cyclopacdias and
dictionaries, find it Is derived from
the Hebrew word for partly rotten
straw. Loudon says 'Mulchlng'
consists in laying circle of litter
around newly planted trees toretaln
the natural humidity OF the soil.
Really, mulching is whatever will
prevent evaporation from the soil,
and in American pra -tice Is even
extended to mellow earth, keeping
the surface oft soil light by con-
slant stirring so that it will be a
poor conductor of heat. Still by
mulching, is generally understood
the placing OF some material upon
the soil that will prevent evapoFa-
ton. and it is OF little consequence
what this material may be. Chips
sticks, tanbark. saw dust, straw
litter from the stables. leaves, grass
Or small stones-vha.eyer wlil
cover the ground and prevent
evaporation-may be used as q
mulch. We have known coal ashes
10 be used, and much virtue Is as
cribed TO ashes. while they OILY
prevent too rapid evaporation. We
once visited place on which there
were many fine eyergreens; tie
owner claimed that his success in
planting was due TO placing fiat
stones from a neighbonng quarry
around the newly-set trees. The
stones, no doubt, did excellent
service, as any other stones woald
have done-they simply served to
keep the ground teneath them
moisl--as a mnlcb. TIE action o!
a mulch beng mercy 'VcAii'0"''
il makes no difference as to the ma
terial. The natural mulch IS leaves
which not only prevent eYaporaiio"
from below, but allow ne rain to|
pass between them to add to the
moisture OF the soil. Itlsno doubt
within the experience OF every o"e
that the earth beneath stone, a
board, or whatever has laid upon
tie surface, is always moist. Tins
condition may be produced over a
large surf'c4 by merely covering /,
with any materi.l that will pre-
vent evaporation. With all newly
set plants, whether trees Or small
plants in the garden. a little litter
or what ever may be Oh hand viii
be OF great benefit.

A River Disaster.

Disasters on the Mississippi river
are becoming alarmingly frequent
Oaly short while ago the, steamer
Wilson was capsized and burnt and
a number of lives lost, and only a
week later the Fanchon, of the same
line of steamers, was burned and 8
great sacrifice of human lives was
the result. The latest river horror
was the explosion and burning Of
the steamer Gold Dust, near Hiek-
man, Ky. Seventeen persons were
killed by the explosion and forty
seven wounded. The boat burnt to
the waters edge after the explosion
and sank in deep water. The wound
ed are reported as dying rapidly
The boat was valued at SIS, 900 and
was oneof the finest in the Ohio
river trade.
