Our First Number
FOR FALL.

You will see many adver-
tisements about large stocks
of Fall and Winter Goods,
and each one will claim to
be ahead of their competitors
but we will be content to
let the readers of the Re-
PUBLICAN know we have a
Larger Stock than usual, be-
cause our trade demands it,
and this is an evidence that
our goods are sold at as low
prices as elsewhere, or a lit
tie lower for same quality.
Our Children's Stock is
complete. We do notmean
by that to tell you we keep
the low price shoddy
goods, but we do have a
Good Quality at a very low
price, and yet we sell more
of our Suits from Five to Ten
Dollars.
In our Boys Department
we have some very stylish
garments to show you, while
the young men cannot help
being pleased by making a
selection from our nobby
Styles.
We have over 40 Styles
to show you in our Mems
Department, and now, kind
reader, just visit US at your
earliest convenience and let
us show vou our goods, and
see if it will not be to our
mutual interests to deal with
each other.
This does not give you
much of an idea Of our Stock,

Now that the winter is ap-
preaching, every one should
be prepared for it, and there
is no surer way of keeping
off its biting blast than by
purchasing a good, warm
Suit and Overcoat for your.
self or the boys. 1t may save
a doctors bill and a heap OF
lost time. The next consider
alton is where to get them,
and the best and cheapest
place to purchase. Now, if
the reader will call at 22S
Market street, they will find
as large and varied a stock OF
all kinds Of Mems, Boys and
Children's Clothing as can be
found in this city; further
more, he will find the prices
lower than the same class OF
goods can be purchased else
where, the proprietor being
desirous of turning his goods
into money as soon as pos
sible, on the principle that a
nimble esixpence isbetter than
a slow shilling. Remember,
we mean business when we
say we can give you the best
clothing in this city for the

HOW TO DRAIN SWAMPS.
The Michigan Farmer tells of large
swamp which had for many years been
a nuisance, but because of Its location
|ditching was too expensive. Finally
some level headed fellow dug a hole
through the clay that formed the bot
tom of the swamp, and found 1t under.
laid by sand, gravel and rocks. Seve.
raj holes were then dug. and SC
the nuisance was abated and
in its place remained body OF
rich black soil, better, more productive
and more valuable than any Of its sur.
roundings. Perhaps there are more
wamps like that.

PAR1IAL SOILING.


Soiling, which must become the system
for stock feeding on high.priced lands,
does not necessarily involve an abrupt
change from entire pasture TO entire
sOiling. In most cases gradual change
wound probably be the best, since few
farmers would be prepared to change
their entire pastures to other uses. The
Husbandman( Elmira, N. Y.) gives the
practice of New York dairy farmer
who prcatices partial soiling, finding II
very satisfactory for the three years he
has been following the plan. His pas
lures afford partial sustenanCe to his
cows and furnish ground for exercise.
Bnt he gives one full feed each day from
crops grown for this purpose.
Rye sown In the fall furnishes the
first and earliest food then oats sown
Ia plats in succession, followed by corn
planted at successive periods. He es.
Inmates that one acre devoted to such
crops furnishes as much food as four or
five acres of pasture. He Is careful to
have each plat large enough to last till
the next is ready. II not all needed for
feeding green it is cured for dry fodder.
But he emphasizes this point strongly,
that ground devoted to such purposes
should be made rich 30 us to produce the
maximum growth. This partial soil
ing could be experimental with by any
farmer in the next year without involv.
ing any violent change In his methods
or risk of loss. If found satisfact Ory,
the system could be extended Just al
far az found profitable.

At Sea in a Basket,

1t was upon September 20, 1854, the
Arctic, belonging to the now ext inct
Collins line, sailed from Liverpool to
New York with more than 200 pas
sengers on board. The voyage was
safely accomplished until the Arctic
got within sixty-fve miles of Cape
Race, when she was run into by the
Vesta, a small iron steamer owned and
manned by Frenchmen, and of about
100 tons burden. Within four hours
OF the collision the big vessel disap-
peared beneath the waves, and the lit
tie vessel was speeding on her way to-
ward the French coast, where, uncon-
SciOus of the mischief she had done.
she arrived in safety about fortnight
later. About forty of the Arctic's
crew and passengers were saved in
boat, and few more were picked up
from rafts and bits of the vessel, among
the latter being Captain Luce and a
Mr.. Smith, then resident of the state
of Mississippi, but subsequently a
wealthy Glasgow merchant. Mr.. Smith
was saved upon a raft of planks,
lashed together by himself, on the top
of which he tied the basket lined with
tin, into which unwashed plates were
put uring the saloon dinner. Upon
the q ge of this basket, with his feet
at the bottom, Mr.. Smith sat for two
nights and nearly three days, bailing it
as it filled from time to time. 1t will
be heard with little surprise that for
many years Mr.. Smith preserved this
much-valued historical basket as a
trophy in his drawing-room at Glasgow,
and showed it to his friends as the
vehicle in which he had foated upon
the waves for fifty or sixty hours. The
basket was concealed in the center of
an ottoman made purposely to hold it.
and was only revealed when Mr.. Smith
was surrounded by q few congenial
friends,

The prismatic colors of the rainbow
the more brilliant prevailing, forming
a complete aurora borealis. About
forty years ago, in a border parish on
the south of Scotland, the principal
heritor and patron, according to the
law and custom, was allotted the chief
seat in the gallery opposite the minis
ter's pulpit. He, however, was nom
resident and an Episcopalian. He
therefore dedicated his seat to the un-
married plowmen of the parish, who
for many years availed themselves of
the privilege. Generally their number
fully packed the seat So soon as
member left the parish, he, of course,
ceased his seat-possession, and so soon
as he entered the holy bonds of matri-
mony he had to provide accommoda-
! tion for himself and his wife elsewhere,
as the pew was held to be of the kind

with each other who could show the
newest pattern in the design and color
for his chest covering. Often have
clergymen who have never before
ascended the pulpit stair of this parish
been startled as the opposite gallery
brilliantly flashed on his wondering
eyes. The rustic band got the title of
the robin redbreasts'' or "canaries,"
and their seat was commonly known as
their "nest" or "aviary." A change,
however, did occur. The heritage fell
to brother of the late proprietor, who
"knew not Joseph" and was rather
displeased at this weekly display of
foppery. The new laird granted the
pew to new tenant, who had become
possessor of the home farm, and had a
numerous family. 1t was easy to grant
and possess, but not so easy to annul a
previous grant and dispossess former
occupants The bovans refused to
remove, pleading grant with long
possession, even for the prescriptive
period-in fact, that they had acquired
both fguratively and literally "vest-
ed interest" The sheriff had to be ap-
preached by way of interdict. 1t was,
however, more by suasion than by
force that at length matters were
peacefully arranged. For many years
the display of colors which once faunt-
ed from the gallery ceased from the
memories of the parishioners of Sunny
side. The epidemic which prevailed in
the south spread to other portions of
