If you do, we can give you no better ad.
vice than to call on y. X. Sutton, proprietor
of the Arcadia Valley Nursery. He has APP
pies, Pears, Peaches, Cherries, ETC., etc,
of every variety. Most of the fine fruit grown
here this season is from trees taken from his
Nursery, which is rapidly acquiring an ex-
cellent reputation. The trees grown in this
climate are certainly better suited to this
section than those imported from distance,
and our people appear to have at lenght be-
come aware of the fact. We can commend
Mr.. s. unqualifedly to every reader of this

st all times. Orders by mail for trees from
responsible parties will receive prompt at

A JudIcIOuB wife,

A judiciOus wife, says Ruskin, is al

say anything silly, she will affection.
ately tell you 80. If you declare that
you will do some absurd thing, she
will fad some means of preventing you
from doing it.
And by far the chief part of all the
common sense there is in this world
belongs unquestionably to women. The
wisest things man commonly does are
those which his wife counsels him to
do. A wife is a grand wielder of a
moral pruning-knife. If Johnson's
wife had lived, there would have been
no boarding up of orange peel, no
touching all the posts in walking along
the streets, no eating and drinking
withing disgusting vOraCity. If Oil
yer Goldsmith had been married, he
never would have worn that memora
BILE and ridiculous coat. Whenever you
find man whom you know little about
oddly dressed, or talking absurdly, or
exhibiting eccentriciy of manner, you
may be sure that he is not a married
man, for the corners are rounded off,
the little shoes pared away, in married
men. Wives have generally much
more sense than their husbands, even
though they may be clever men. The
wite's advice is like the ballast that

In this connection 1t may not be

Mr.. Harrington smarting under the
attacks made upon him seeks to show
that the leading men in the opposition

This "pot and kettle" gameis pitiful

been presumed that the "Press" would
not allow itself to be made "a smut

full, after all, whether the Democratic
party of this State has made any capi-

trolled one single vote by this personal
abuse of Mr.. Harrington.
In nine cases out of ten when scuTril.
ity and personal defamation are resorted
to confidence In the cause is weak and
sound arguments are scarce. 1t may
have been unwise in the Republicans to
select Mr. Harrington for chairman of
their State Committee, but tho course
OF the Democrats in endeavoring to take
advantage of it is even more question:.

our humble Judgment the province of

He had in his upper vest pocket re-

her handkerchief drop on the floor,
when Burns, wishing to do the gallant
thing, hastily arose and stopped to pick
it up. AS he did 80 the pistol fell from
his pocket and striking the floor explo
ded and the ball struck him In the
right breast, and passing into the re-
gion of the heart inflicted a wound from
which he died in few minutes. The
lady, Miss Rebecca Turner, hastily
raised the bleeding body of her lover to
the sofa and started to rush for q ply.
sician, but he called her back, saying
he was conscious, that he could live
but few minutes and asked her to put
her arm around his neck. The
weeping woman did it and the poor
fellow breathed his last in his sweet.

the way he had wanted to die. When
members of her family came into the
room afterwards they found Burns
dead on the sofa aud Miss Turner lying
in swoon over his body, her hair and
face bathed in the blood which flowed
from his wounds.

A representative of the REPUBLICAN
was informed ON Saturday, that q gen.
tleman who purchased piece of ground
along the proposed route short time
ago for $18 per foot, has within the last
few days been offered 800 per foot for II
which he retui ed.
One Of the gentleman connected with
the road says that just az soon as the
ordinance is passed by the Council, they
are prepared to 60 ahead with their
work, ,and give employment to hundreds
of men. The building of the depot and
the locating Of large workshops In this
city, will furnish permanent employ
ment TO Numbers OF men and give an
impetus to building operations in that
section OF the city that will soon cover
the vacant lots with houses, occupied
by thrifty mechanics and their families.
The p. w, & b. railroad has been the
means in measure of developing the
business interests OF the southeastern
extreme side of the city and with the
Baltimore and Ohio on the northw
tern borders the growth of this city ,and
the increase of its population within
the next ten years will be enormous.
The expense Of constructing Culyerts,
altering grades and building drains,
will all be borne by the company and
the city is not asked or expected to
spend a single dollar. The time was
when cities and towns were required to
subscribe literally to the stock Of rail-
road companies to induce them to pass

great corporation offers to bring its road
through the city,to locate it's workshops

There is bat little doubt that the de.
sired permission will be granted by

HAMILTON, Ont, Oct. 20. - Today
Mr.. Osler AID Mr.. Cahill, ON behalf Of
Major Phipps, appeared before Mr..
Justice Cameron, vt Toronto, and ap.
piled for writ Of habeas corpus. The
writ was granted and the order will be
iss ued At once, and the writ made prob.
ably returnable on Tuesday next. At
the same time writ of certiorari was
issued to Judge Sinclair directing him
to forward all the papers relating to the
matter that are now In his possession
to the Court at Toronto. At first it
was thought that this appeal would Ee
heard before Judge Cameron, but it ia
now probable that the case will be de.
lay ed till the third Monday in Novem-
Der, when the full Court will sit in To-
ronto. In the meantime, of course, the
Major remains in the custody of the
prison officials. While there is no doubt
it will be a long time before the people
of Philadelphia will see the Major, the
general opinion here is that eventually
he will have to go back.

ance. This game was as follows, and
it was proposed to play 1t with halt
dollars instead of buttons Each man
in turn should pitch fitty-cs piece
ut the aperture in cuspidor. Those
who failed were to lettLeir money lay
on the door, and the one who was first
successful in striking the hole was to
scoop in the entire pot. The PROPOSE
tioR was uproariouSly received, and
the game was begun. Each time around
there was three dollars in the pool for
the lucky marksman. Sometimes the
turn would 60 around three or four
times before one Of the silver pieces
found the mark. Then the man who
won 1t always set up Bass, ale or
champagne. For about two hours this
game went on. Dollar pieces, instead
of half dollars, were freely used, and
sometimes the pots were as high as
$10or $l2. There is no telling to what
enormous proportions this game, COM
paratively innocent in its origin, might
not have attained had not several of
the participants been Obliged to stop
because of engagements elsewhere.
When they did stop, and the losses
and gains counted up on both sides,
one gentleman was found to have lost
$275, another had lost $3.50, while two
them stood winners of 5000 apiece, and
the others wound up not far off either
way. In the cuspador the colored man
who cleans up about the place found

In the Whole History Of Medicine

no preparation has ever performed such mar.

ton as Ayers Cherry Pectoral, which is REQ.
Ognized as the worlds remedy for all diseases
Of the throat and lungs. Its long continued
series of wonderful cures in all climates has
made 1t universally known as a safe and rell.
able agent to employ. Against ordinary colds
which are the forerunners of more serious dis
orders, it acts speedily and surely, always re.
lieving suffering, and often saving life. The
protection 1t affords, by Its timely use in chest
disorders, makes 1t an invaluable remedy to
be kept always on hand in every home. No
person can afford to be without 1t, and those
who have once used it ever will. From their

Ienne InmeA, Murderer.

Bob Ford, who removed Jesse James,
and now on trial at Plattsburg, Mo-,
for the murder of Wood Hite, one OF the
James gang, is quite as much OF hero
in that part OF the State as Frank
James is at Independence. His admirers
attend him in crowds and give him
daily airings in the way OF buggy
rides. Ford admits that he was pre-
sent at the killing of Hite, but denies
any guilt in connection with it. He
also denies saying that the country is
not big enough for him and Frank
James, adding that if James meant to
harm him he could have done 80 before
surrendering.
