ELSEWHERE viii be found the
proceedings of the town council
They are jealous guardians of the
public veal and splendid providers
for the peoples comfort. They
know that the good Lord made the
sun to shine 10y day and the moon
to give its mellow rays at night, free
of charge, and therefore why should
people be taxed for talloW dips or
gas jets to light up the town. Be
sides if it is little cloudy and
fellow stays too long at the lodge
and the lager beer saloons are all
closed and he has to go home, can't
he find his way along the shadows,
perfectly free from observation, so
the public won't know whose hus-
band is out Home interests, social
interests, the public welfare and
the comfort Of every person demand
that the moon shall shine every
night in the year. The members of
the council know this, and they will
stick to it until they correct the error
that God made in providing for quar-
tiers and changes Of the lunar orb.

AN EARLY Man TRAIN WEST.

AN EARLY MAIL TRAIN WEST.
The Baltimore Sun says the Balti-
more and Ohio Railroad Company
will about the 18th November, when
the winter schedule for running of
trains goes into effect, start what is
known as train No. S from Camden
Station at 3 a. m. instead of 130 a,
m, as is now done. The company
announces that this will be done in
the interest of Baltimore and for
the purpose of the early distribution
of the morning newspapers along its
lines, and with the expectation that
the Postoffice Department at Wash
ington will use portion of the ex-
ira appropriation made by Congress
at its last session to provide for mail
service by this train One of the
grounds by which this extra appro-
priation was secured was that it
would enable the Postoflice Depart
ment to provide for an early morn
ing mail from Baltimore and Wash
ington along the line as far as Chi
cage, Cincinnati and st. Louis. A
Baltimore and Ohio official says the
winter schedule will provide for the
a. N. train, and it will remain with
the Postoifice Department to have it
continued or not. The time of ar-~
rival at Cincinnati and st. Louis
will be an hour and a half later than
now. Baltimore newspapers will be
delivered at Hagerstown, Frederick,
the Valley and other points by early
connections on the branch roads
The train will reach Cumberland at
s. 90 a. n. and Grafton at noon.

HOG Observation-Disclosures in the
vicinity of townsville, this county,
have occasion to feel alarmed at the
appearance of q new disease among
their porkers. The disease manifests
itself by rendering the animal weak
in the back an entirely helpless. Mr..
John T. Smith recently lost four
from a pen of fine hogs, and on ex-
animation of their livers found that
they were in decomposed state.
Whence the origin of the affection
remains a mystery to the citizens Of

Strong Words To Young WO
men.

The Rev. j. Harvey Beale of the
First Presbyterian Church Of Phila-
delphia, said some plain words to
young women on Sunday. lie con-
demned vigorously tight laeing and
tight shoes. He said that many
came TO hear him preach whose feet
and forms were so compressed THAI
they could not hear the Word of
God. He condemned the habit of
gossiping in these words "When
women are together they breathe oh,
servations not effecting the worth
of another women, but her appear
ance. Something is always wrong
This one has nopedigree. That one
is foolish because she talks too much.
Another has hair of 4 wrong color.
or nose that has been put on wrong
Some open their mouths too much
when they talk, and others have
bangs made too large. They are al
ways sneering, and cannot pass one
another on the street without max
ing unpleasant remarks. This last
is very sweeping assertion.

THE New PROCESS The Wash.
ington Capital last week contained
the following in reference to the
new process for the manufacture of
iron and steel, plant Of which with
sufficient encouragement will be put
in operation in this place in very
short time
For the past eighteen months
there has been pilgrimage OF CAPT
talists TO Alexandria TO witness Ger
tain remarkable demonstrations OF
the power of vaporiZed petroleum to
melt iron and pure steel. A good
many solid men have thus made their
first and only trip on the ferry boat
to this ancient burg, which has not
always been the Mecca of million
aires. There is a company which
owns the patent on the invention for
the whole world, and its headquar-
tiers are in Washington, while it's
works are in our Virginia suburb.
The active man in the concern is
Mr.. Archer, who was steamboat
man on the western rivers before the
war. and who has lived in Boston Il
good deal Of the time since the war
The claim is that by the use of the
vaporizad petroleum blast iron and
steel can be worked with rapidity
and cheapness which must revolu-
tionize the whole manufacture Of
these metals. The invention is
thought to be worth q great many
millions. Senator Miller of Califor-
mia, who has acquired the right for
the Pacific coast, is forming a cor
poratiOn with ten millions of capital
TO utilize the process in that section
of the country. There is plenty Of
iron ore on the west coast, but not
much coal; and the iron and steel
industry has never got a real start
there. The possibilities Of the pro-
cess are not yet fully developed, but
it promises to enable US to manufac-
tuTe steel at a less cost than what is
now paid for fair grade of iron. 1t
is in use at the Norway Iron Works
in Boston, and is to be introduced
all over the country. Mr. Wilson j i.
Vance, well known as u newspaper
worker in Washington, is the active
member Of company which con
trolls the right to West Virginia, the
richest in mineral wealth of all the
States. The first works there will
be built at Martinsburg, and Vance
will make his pile if all goes we'll. "

WHY WE CALL IT INDIAN SUM
MER.-W When the "Pilgram Fathers"
the first settlers of this country
felt the first cold Of autumn they
thought winter had come, but the
Indians said, mo, there will yet be
summer Hence the origin Of the
name "Indian Summer" In the
famous forests of the Ardennes,
whose oaks are noted for their bril-
liant autumn hues, it is called "Red
Leaf" a name which would be es-
pecially appropriate in America,
whose gorgeous autumn foliage is
unequaled. In Germany it is called
sold Mans Summer" Elsewhere
it is known as "After Heat" 1t is
denied by some that the fine, hazy
weather of October is properly called
Indian SUMNER which they re-
gard as peculiar to November, eX-
cept that it sometimes continues in
to December.
