cept from York township. of the delegates

elected at the primaries on SATURDAY:
Smyrna times., 1883-04-04

THE BETTER LAND.-Alaska is the
better land toward which the miners of
the West, in obedience to their passion
for new dlggings, are setting their faces
this Spring. Already, it said, a move
ment has begun which promises to be-
come stampede during the next few
weeks. "A party of twenty" says a
dispatch from Deadwood, Dakota, to
the Chicago Times, "leaves here the 1st
of April. 1t will comprise some of the
oldest and best miners of the gulch,
will be thoroughly equipped, and if
there is gold to be found will find it.
That the fever is widespread is illus
trated by the fact that pool of $4,000
was raised this afternoon to defray the
expenses of the party, many prominent
business and professional men, unable
to go, willingly subscribing to the fund.
OF course, each subscriber stands in ,
with whatever may be found. Letters
received from Nevada report a pros
pective hegira from the State, while
the press Of Colorado, Arizona, Califor-
MIA and Montana give evidences that
numbers are preparing to leave from
those localities.
Smyrna times., 1883-04-04

THE New POSTAL NoTE.-The trans
mission of money in sums of less than
five dollars has heretofore been very
inconvenient. Banks discourage the
annoyance of petty checks; the red
tape of the money order system is vex-
atious when but a trif1ing payment is
to be made, and few are willing to risk
a single dollar in an unregistered letter,
Hence the three-cent "postal note"
authorized by Congress will be a con-
venience which a multitude will appre-
ciate and it will interfere with the
business of none but the rogues~ who
pilfer from the mails. Newspaper
publishers will feel almost as mueh sat
isfaction as newspaper subscribers in
the adoption of a system which will
make the payment of subscriptions so
safe and convenient. The postal note
will not differ much from the green
back in size, and it will contain blanks
to be filled by pOstmasters, who will
punch the requisite dates and amounts
from rows of figures on its margin,
same as railway conductors with the
checks they give to passengers.
Smyrna times., 1883-04-04

LIVING NEAR VoLCANoEs.-Shud-
derings and rumblings ON the flank of
Etna at length frighten away the peo-
pie of Biancavilla, who have gone to a
safer distance from the great volcano,
carefully taking their Jail prisoners
with them. While the meagreness of
the eruption of three or four years ago
might we'll lead them to indifference
regarding the present demonstration,
there are inhabitants enough who re-
member the terrors of the outbreak
that occurred thirty years since; and
the destructivsness of some prior erup-
tions is familiar history. 1t is extra
ordinary to people who live in coun-
tries not supplied with volcanoes, how
populations seem to nestle by prefer
ence around these fiery cones, as if to
keep warm there, or because they like
the company of natures stoves. 1t
would naturally be supposed that even
when a hitherto irreproachabls noun
tain was merely suspected of eruptive
tendencies, mankind would hastily
move a few miles away and set up 8
warning of danger for travellers. In
stead of that, not only are villages and
towns founded ON the Slopes and al
the bases of chronic and incorrigible
volcanoes, but the ruin of a village by
ashes or lava is almost invariably fol
lowed by its rebuilding in the same
spot. There are many instances il
history where towns and hamlets have
been destroyed several times. Evi
deDtly there must be attraction in the
perils of volcanoes, and Etna, like the
others, finds large population cluster
ing about it.-N. Y. Sun.
Smyrna times., 1883-04-04
For the Smyrna Times
General Sam Houston.

Mr.. EDIToR.-I have read Ram
bler's letter from Texas in your last
issue. His reference to Gen. Houston's
devotion to his second wife reminds me
of an incident that is worthy of being
published. On one occasion while
Gen Houston was in Congress l had
the pleasure to entertain him as my
guest. He addressed a mass meeting
of a county temperance convention.
After the meeting had adjourned he
wrote q letter and while holding it in
his hand said to me, mo matter where
1 am, nor how l may be engaged, ]
never allow a day to pass without
writing to my wife. To her 1 owe
every thing that is of any worth in me
and never say, or do anything, or &C
any where, that would not say or do
or visit if she were present with me
and did not approve"
How many husbands can say Al
much? f. w.

be violated, since we know for what
the fitness is intended. Then we draw
a mean between the finest proportion
ed building in town and the least one,
and if we find that the comfort and
safety of the teachers and pupils can
be best secured on an octagon base,
then that base should be as unalterable
as the laws of the "Medes and Per-
sians."
And, one other fitness should by all
means accompany public building of
this kind, although it can hardly be
said that it is subject to any irrevoca-
BILE law like the one alluded to above,
namely that to secure good work and
good feeling it should be a product of
Smyrna's enterprise and skill in manu-
factures and mechanics. We have all
these, ,-brickmakers, lime, lumber and
hardware dealers, and then the trades
of carpenters, bricklayers, painters and
plasterers, and also, our enterprising
merchants to be remembered indirect
ly. If the lowest bidder is secured
under contract from outside the town,
it opens possibility that the building
may not be a product of Smyrna's man
ufacturers, and if the bonds are placed
also outside, there is a certainty that in
either event, they will come back for
payment. S.
Smyrna, March Goth, 1888.
