i new railroad from Somerset to Johns
town is one Of the probabilities Of the near
future. The South Pennsylvania Railroad
people, it seems, are not inclined to pay the
tolls demanded by the Balto. and Ohio for
the transportation of their iron and other
materials, and are seriously considering the
advisability of building branch rood from
their line north Of Somerset, to Johnstown.
As the freights of the Cambria Iron Com
pany and the city of Johnstown run way
up into the ciphers, the Vanderbilt people
are anxious to get at least share of them.
If it is concluded to build the road, it is
probable that what is known as the Quema-
honing route through Jenner township will
be taken. This road would open up a new
section of Somerset county, and one rich in
natural resources. Speed the day of its
undertaking and completion.

WEAK SIGHT AND GLAssEs-DASGER OF
WEARING IMrERfEcT Focus.-To the close
student, and the professional man, the sight
I is the main reliance, and among these are
the most complaints of weak sight. In the
sense so used weak sight " is a relative
term, no, meaning absplute impossibility of
seeing to the extent apparent, but physic-
ally mechanical defect of refraction which,
when corrected, the previously weak sight
becomes as strong as the strongest. Hence
the very great importance of accurate adj
iustment Of glasses, the only means of cor
recting the defective refraction, on which
the weak sight depends. A perfect eye with
perfect refraction, will never tire or weaken,
50 u weak sight, made perfect by perfect ad
justment of glasses, never tires by use. No
person not thoroughly conversant practical
ly with optics and optical defects should
think of wearing glasses without first con-
sulting the oculist. Thousands Of eyes are
ruined every year by SO doing. Our readers
viii find the subject more fully discussed
IN Dr. Sadler's illustrated Pamphlet, and by
referring to good cyclopedia and works on
optics. They also have an opportunity of
having such examinations perfectly and
skilfully made by DIR. Sadler at the Glade
House, This trcek only He will also treat all
defects of eye, ear, nose and throat, in the
most successful manner.

Horses, Carriages and Other Property
 Burned-A Fireman IDjured-The
 Losses.
 This morning about o'clock an alarm of fire was given from box 213, which is located at No. engine house on Artisan street. The cause of the alarm was fire in the barn and stable in the rear of the Folding Chair com pany's establishment and adjoining the joiner shop of J. Todd & Son, which is also in the rear of the chair company's establishment. The barn, it is said, belonged to .Dr. J. F. Lyon, and was rented to different parties. In the stalls were five horses, two of which be- longed to MT. George H. Ives, the baker, and three to the Folding Chair company. Two of the horses were saved, one of which be- longed to Mir. Damn and the other to MT. Ives. There were about thirty bales of excelsior in one end of the barn or shed that belonged to the Chair company that was burned. Two carriages out of three were also burned. The total loss is about $5, 900, which is covered by insurance. During the fire David R. Renfrew, hoseman of No. g. was struck on the head by 8 falling timber and stunned by the blew. He was carried and reported again for duty.
 It was fortunate that there was little or nc wind blowing at the time, for if this had been the case some large piles of dry lum. ber in the immediate vicinity would have been burned. There was a little delay in getting stream on the fire owing to the hydrant on State street nearest to the burning building being out of order. The fire was no doubt the work of incendiaries.

Memorial Day,

At the Army and Navy club reunion in Hartford speaker made suggestion which met with the hearty approval of all the old soldiers who were present, and is worthy of consideration generally wherever Memorial day is observed; it was an earnest protest against the growing custom of placing flags at half-mast on that day. Said the speaker: eff the dead whose memories we honor on that day could speak-to us they would say: Never let the old flag be lowered an inch on our account Keep it up to the peak, where we helped to place it !" Dec oratien day has come to be 8 general holi- day; while it is especially devoted to the memory of the brave dead, it is not a day for mourning, the nation rejoices that it had brave sons who were willing to give their lives to keep the old flag intact, and in their honor, on that day of all days, that flag should fly in all its glory.

The Closing Features of the Convention
 i'm Hartford.
 At the Woman's Missionary convention of Wednesday, there was much disappointment experienced by the managers when it was fully known that Mrs. George Wright, of New York, and Mrs. Dr. J. O. Peck, of New Haven, were not able to come. Yet such was the character of the exercises at the evening service that no disappointment was realized by the audience.
 Mrs. I. N. Damn. of New Haven, read 8 paper on 'The Condition of Chinese Wo men," She began by saying: II have never been in China, and therefore do not bring you the results of my own observation, but give to you the testimony of reliable persons who have been there and that is authoritative" She then gave in the most glowing and pathetic manner the fear full condition of women in that country. Life is pitiful reality among them. At birth they are regarded as useless. Female infants are strangled at birth frequently. A Bible teach CT had five women in her class who had de- stroyed twelve of their children. Her pie ture of the baby merchant was thrilling. She described the process of making the feet of Chinese women small. The betrothal and marriage of these women were given. Suicide is common among them and they always dress in their best apparel. She con- trasted woman's condition in China, Persia and other lands with woman in the lands un- der the influence of Christianity. She said there were 200, GOO, GOO of these women need ing the gospel. Mrs. Dann's paper and her excellent reading was highly enjoyed by all recitation on 1.-The Hindoo Mother" by Maud Watrous, and one ''Why did you not come before?" by Georgie Bingham were given. A young lady dressed in the costume of woman of India gave an excellent recitation also.
 The convention has been a great success. All the reports show considerable advance in the work, and all departed realizing that they had been greatly DrOf1tod

The artist, Mr Clarence l. Crandsll, son of MT. William Japson, the fle manufacturer, residing at No. 855 State street, has shown decided ability in this and previous efforts. The picture was executed from fine cabinet photo done by Bowman shortly after the professors return from Europe.

 Several prominent citizens were wrathy yesterday, and all over that section of the city within half mile or a mile of Canal wharf the inhabitants, including the ladies, were up in arms and indignant over a vile odor emanatfng from the discharging of car- goes of rank fertilizing compounds that are sent up the Canal road, according to report. for use on tobacco beds. No ordinary ad- jeetives suffice to characterize the vileness of the odor and explosives came in use among people with whom nothing but deep sense of personal and public wrong would have called them forth. The air was tainted and polluted and words with difficulty convinced unbelievers and doubters until the practical test was sp- piled, when the doubters exclaimed at once that they had important business in another and. remote section of the city. Clerk Whe- don, of the Board of Health, was appealed to and this gave the petitioners some sense of relief, and if that remedy should fail 8 town meeting was suggested. The odor was of such g character as to suggest to some the idea that the term s'flthy weed" must have in some way originated from the use of ma- nure as badly odorous as the kind complained nf

He is spoken of as a very efficient janitor, devoted to the interests of the school and unsparing in his labors.

 On the 27th of February, 1883, was ta- ken with violent pain in the region of the kidneys. suffered such agony that could hardly stand up. As soon as possible I ap- piled two AlIcock's Porous Plasters, one over each kidney, and laid down. In an hour, to my surprise and delight, the pain had van. ished and was well. I wore the plasters for day or two as 8 precaution, and then removed them. I have been using Ailcock's Porous Plasters in my family for the last ten years, and have always found them the quickest and best external remedy for colds strains, kinks and rheumatic affections, From my experience I believe they are the best plaster in the world.
