Why 1t Was Discontinued.

The post office at Iron Rod, NJ. T., has
been discontinued, and the explanation
is thus given by an officer of the depart
ment: "a post-office agent, while Of
cially visiting various offices in Montana
for the purpose of correcting any irreg-
ularities of postmasters, stopped at Iron
Rod. Going into the postoffice he found
the room divided into three sections
first saloon, next the postoffice, and
last faro bank. The mailbag was
brought in, a rough-looking customer
opened it and emptied the contents on
the floor. The entire crowd at once got
down on their hands and commenced
overhauling the letters, among which
several were registered, and selected
such as they wanted. After they were
through the remaining letters were
shoveled into a candle-boX and placed
on the bar. The special agent. thinking
the Office needed little regulating, asked
the barkeeper, who had received and
distributed the mail, if he was the post
master. He answered No Are you
the assistant postmaster?' No. Where
is the postmaster?' Outmining.' Where
is the assistant postmaster? Gone to
Helrs Canon; and by thunder Bill Jones
has got to run this Office next week; it $
his turn The Government official then
stated who he was, and demanded the
keys of the office. The bartender coolly
took the candle-box from the bar, placed
it on the floor and gave it kick, send
it out of the door, saying: There your
postoffice. and now git The agent
says: Knowing the customs of the
country, lost no time in following this
advice, and got This is why the post
Office at Iron Rod was discontinued"

Change Of fBusiness-New Firm.

Mr.. Henry Hamlin has sold hisbusiness
and -four and feed store, and the new firm
will be known as VanCleef, Fisher,
& Co. Mr. Fisher is familiar with
the business, having been in Mr..
Hamlin's employ for several years. Mr..
Hamlin, on account of his health, has
thought it best to try change of climate,
and has purchased tract of 600 acres of
land six miles from Wadena, county
seat in central Minnesota, on the North
ern Pacific Rail- Dad, about 100 miles east
of Fargo. Mr.. Hamlin's land is partly
timbered with beech, oak and maple, but
enough is in condition for breaking to
make it promising investment for culti-
vation, and he will take with him a prac-
tical farmer who will work the land.
There is great rush of emigration to that
latitude, and some of our townsmen who
have recently returned from there, are en-
thusiastic in their praise of its advantages
and inducements for active businessmen.
1t is no place for laggards and drones, but
anyone who knows how to do business, or
is willing to work, can do well by falling
into line, and go out to possess the land
while it is held at reasonable prices.

A Fraud.

A woman has been through the town
selling toilet preparations, face powder,
ETC., which she recommended highly, and
showed book with signatures of ladies,
purporting TO be an endorsement and rec
ommendation of her wares. At the head
of the list we are informed, stands the
name of the junior editor of the ENTER
PRISE, and among them was also the name
of the late Mrs. DR.. Hathaway. She claim
ed to have met the two ladies referred to
in Cleveland or on the cars, and to have
obtained their signatures at that time. 1t
is scarcely necessary to say that her story
is pure fiction, the ladies never having met
her or each other under such circumstan-
ces as she states, and neither of them ever
used face powder or discussed the merits
of any cosmetic with each other or with
any stranger at any time or place. DR..
Hathaway went TO the hotel where this
!enterprising female was temporarily stop
ping, and Indignantly protested against
the use of his wife's name in such a con-
nection, as she never used the articles re-
ferred to, of any make or kind.
As tar as the writer is concerned, we
have never bought or owned a penny's
worth of any such article or articles, and
our opinion of them would be worth as
much as our knowledge of wigs, and glass
eyes, and artificial noses, and cork limbs.
The INSCRIPTIONS who would victimize
the public are as ingenious as they are
contemplate and wicked.

Premature Cussedness.

There seems to be an epidemic of it,
and there is a very general impression
among our citizens that the damage to
property, and the danger to life and limb
caused by the tricks and depredations oil
boys after dark have been borne quietly
until forbearance has ceased to be virtue.
One old lady came into our Office to tell
US that the annoyance she had suffered for
weeks had become almost uncomfortable,
and was wearing her life out. The mean
ness of throwing things against dwelling,
the abode of an inoffensive, lonely and
aged woman, is not excusable on any plea
of liberty and fun to which.boys are enti-
tied. 1t is brutal and low and no boy who
has the instincts of gentleness and of man.
illness would have any part in such cruel
sport. Placing distractions on or tearing
up the walks, to trip people returning home
at night should be done only by those who
would like to have their own limbs broken
by such unpremeditated falls, or who
would be willing that their father or
mother should be the first victim.
Hallow 'een celebrations are relic of
the dark ages, and ought to be abolished
November 9th or "corn night" which con-
sists of ringing door-bells and of throwing
a shower of corn into the face of the one
who opens them, we trust will not be a
very paying business in Wellington. And
if the boys observe the night let everyone
else, and give the lads a reception that
they will remember as long as they live.

OUR LOCAL CORRESPONDENCE.
ROCHESTER,.
At FITCH'S

The relatives and neighbors of Mr.. and
Mrs. John B. Lang to the number of sixty
including the members of Mrs. Lang's
Bible class, were gathered in their spacious
and pleasant home on Saturday evening,
Oct. %, to join them in celebrating the
twenty-fifth anniversary of their wedding
day. Our response to the invitation was
most hearty, and our congratulations and
good wishes most sincere, for Mr.. and Mrs.
Lang are among the most honored mem
bers of our community, trusted as friends,
and ready not only for every good word but
equally so for all good works. 1t was In
every respect a satisfactory occasion and
the pleasure and contentment visible in the
faces of the hosts, seemed reflected in every
countenance. Suitable music afforded
ample entertainment, and Rev. Mr.. VIII
liams offered a prayer that Gods blessing
might still abide upon this household; after
which the. shining pieces of silver which
evinced the good taste and judgement OF
those who had selected them, and which
always appeals so directly to the house
wife's heart, were presented by him in fifty
spoken words. THE gifts are brought"
he said, with no thought of enriching you,
but simply as an expression of our respect
and esteem" The courtesy and skill Of
the young people who served the tempting
viands prepared for our refreshment, made
us for a time at least, more than willing to
"Do nothing but eat and make good cheer"
At parting, all were able heartily to unite
in the wish that the silver brightness of the
period our friends have just completed,
may shine untarnished and undimmed
until it pales in the golden rays which
shall by and by shine out over their path
way. 3. Z.

A correspondent writes to an exchange
as follows about the flower ofawell-known
plant: "I have discovered remedy for
consumption. 1t has cured a number of
cases after they had commenced bleeding
at the lungs and the hectic flush was al
ready on the cheek. After trying this
remedy to my own satisfaction, have
thought that philanthropy required that 1
should let it be known to the world. 1t is
common mullen, stepped strongly and
sweetened with coffee and sugar, and drank
freely. Young or old plants are good,
dried in the shade and kept in clean bags.
The medicine must be continued from
three to six months, according 10 the ma
ture of the disease. 1t is very good for
blood vessels also. 1t strengthens and
builds up the system instead of taking
away the strength. 1t makes good blood
and takes inflammation away from the
lungs"

The Manufacture Of S6eet Lead in
China.

The making of sheet lead for the lin
ing of tea chests, etc., is somewhat inn
portant industry of Hong Kong. 1t is
made principally in sundry establish
ments to the westward. On entering
one, the workmen will be seen with
shears employed in cutting out the sheets
of lead into the required sizes and shapes.
The shears are simply large pair Of
scissors, firmly fixed to solid block of
wood some two feet in height. The
lower blade of the shears terminates in a
square piece of iron, instead of being
pointed, as is the upper blade. The
sheets of lead will also be observed to be
of small size and somewhat irregular in
shape, and this arises from the method
of manufacture, as will subsequently be
seen. Going further into the shop will
be seen an iron pan raised twelve inches
or so above the ground and carefully
finished off. Beneath this iron pan is a
furnace, and at the side of the pan next
the wall is fiue communicating with it.
In this pan the lead is melted, and when
judged to be hot enough, the workman
takes two of the large square paving tiles,
which may be seen almost anywhere in
the colony, and these are then smoothly
and carefully covered with several layers
of unsized paper. Having placed these
two tiles before him, one above the other,
the workman raises the upper tile with
his left hand and, taking a ladle of the
proper size, in his right, he dipsit in the
melted lead and then pours its contents
on to the lower tile. He then drops the
upper tile and quickly presses the lead
out into the form of sheet. The paper
being a bad conductor of heat, the lead
does not solidify Immediately after it
leaves the Iadle, and. as by long prac-
tice the workman always ladies out ex-
actly the same quantity of lead, the sheets
vary but little in size or thickness.-Age

A decision of interest to members

"A decision of interest to members of
secret organizations has been given by
Judge McCarter in the Court of Com
mon Pleas at Newark, NJ. Max Miller
was proposed for membership in di-
vision of the Knights of Honor. In the
lodge, while discussing the merits of the
candidate and his eligibility to member
ship, one of the members named Jacob
Bruenschoelz made some remarks bear
ing upon the credit OF Miller that caused
the latter to be blackballed. Miller
brought suit for SANDER. and when the
case was called, counsel for the defend
ant asked for a non-suit as the words
spoken were not in public. Judge Nc
Carter Euled that the words spoken in
lodge-rooms were not private oommuni-
cations. The defendant settled the case
by compromising with the plaintiff and
paying costs.-M Y Herald.
