thing in readiness for winter, rs they now
have. But all are on the anxious list aud
waiting for snow To do business with,
hauling wood, lumber, bark, stone, etc,

The factory company have engaged three
hundred cords OF wood; two hundred
cords OF William Libbcy, OF Porter, for

How Jerry Saved the Mills.

The dull, cold day was at its close;
but the heavy rain and strong south
wind which had swept the town since
early dawn continued with uudiminished
fury. The gale shrieked as it tore about
The corners and lashed the faces of the
few hurryiDg foot passengers; while the
driving rain penetrated everywhere,
drenching the streets, flooding the gut
ters, and collecting in deep, treacherous
pools at the corner crossings. The bare
trees moaned and writned and wept; the
swinging signboards in front of small
taverns creaked and groaned dismally;
the tall chimney of the Dumbleton knife
works rocked threateningly; and in the
midst of all the tumult the great river
was swelling and straining at its wintry
bounds, while sharp cracking sounded
ever and anon from the broad field Of
ice that stretched from shore 10 shore,
and little streams of water began to ap-
pear here and there running swiftly
along the frozen plain.
March had come in like lamb, it was
departing like lion; and shrouded by
wind and rain and heavy mist, the last
night of the month came thickly down
1t was past supper time, past closing
time for the mills and factories, past
trading time for the stores, and except
for an occasional light in some saloon
or corner grocery, the windows along
the business streets of the town we're
dark, and the rain beat UNDECIDED against
their black panes. Few people were
abroad, and even those few seemed to
have been forced upon unwelcome jour
neys, for they fastened through the
sloppy streets with bent heads, shivering
as the sharp wind tore at their wrap
pings or the gusts of rain beat upon
them.
One such man, clad in heavy oil
cloth coat, was walking rapidly up State
street, when, just at particular window
corner, he came in sudden contact with
a lad who was croucaing in front of a
bakers window, where single lamp
still burned, cycling with hungry gaze
the dainties within.
"Hallo p cried the man, startling back

Then looking more sharply at the drip
ping figure before him, he continued

FACTS.

Those contemplating a trip westward
will certainly do we'll to carefully con.
suit the time tables of the Baltimore and
Ohio road. Its celebrated fast trains,
its sure connections, and rates always as
low as the lowest, make it beyond all
controversy the best line west. Colo
nists are carried in first class cars on fast
trains, and every possible care is taken
to insure comfort and convenience.
Trains run through without change of
cars to Chicago, where direct connection
is made with al leading lines to the
west, northwest and southwest, making
but single change of cars to Iowa,
Kansss, Nebraska, Texas, Minnesota.
etc. No other line can offer such advan-
tages as the Baltimore and Ohio.-Its
costs but very little time and trouble
to learn this. and in the end may lead
to tie saving Of much Of both as well as
money. Above all things do not pur-
chase tickets before having talk or res
ceiving letter from one of the B. 4 O.
