letter, from Tho People
School District, No. 80,
spondence Of the Democrat.

Correspondence of the Democrat.
Nothing of very great interest in
this part--nothing new or strange
transporting. Crops have all been
gathered in; very good yield, TAX
ing everything into consideration.
Corn to sell, fifty cents per bushel.
Wheat sowing is over--the early
sowing is looking very nice. The
mast crop is reported as being very
good indeed, but the hog crop is not
so prolific, and the inference is pork
will be good price. 1t is said that
turnips are worth twenty five cents
at the patch, and it has also been
rumored that some of the ROSTERS
have gone to laying, others are sing
ing round for nests. Cotton is GO
ing up. Cleveland is elected and
democrats are in high spirits, but
the others are moving away to Tex
as, where they just vote once in. four
years for democratic president.
Three solid cheers for the SOLID
SOUTH; such as may shake the very
foundations of some of the republi-
can institutions, the icebergs of the
northern regions. We hope to see
some of those gigantic institutions
crumble away, and may there be
erected on the ruins thereof, monu
ments Of equity and justice, such as
shall reflect the true grandeur and
glory OF American Independence.
May veil of thick darkness fail
round, a part at least, of the last
quarter of a century of American
history; so that generations, yet un.
born may never know Of the frauds
and dark deeds of the past; may sec
tional strife be rooted up, and parti
san animoslty die; may the people
be united, North, East South and
West, and God grant that the trne
light of American liberty may shine
forth in all it's beauty on her future
history, and shine on in greater ef-
fulgence as she nears the zenith OF
her glory. 1t is to be hoped, We
shall get wisdom from the past.

Since the excitement over the
Presidents election has subsidized,
everybody seems quiet and peace
and happiness abound.
The farmers have most all finish
cd gathering their crops, and the
merchants and doctors seem very
much interested in getting what
they consider their part of the same.
Health seems to be better now
than it has been for some time,
though the doctors report some cases
of typhoid fever IN the neighbor-
hood. School opened at this place
on the lst inst, with about fifty stu
dents; one half as many more ex-
pected this week. Our Sunday school
is very interesting at this place, and
is making preparations for Santa
Clause, who is expected to pay us q
visit in the form of a Christmas tree
on the night of the Oath inst. A
good time is anticipated.
We understand that Mill Creek is
to have Post office soon, which has
long been expected, and will, no
doubt be considerable satisfaction
to the Mill Creek boys.

prominent saw mill men was called

CURE FOX PILES.

Piles are frequently preceded by a
sense of weight in the back, loins and
lower part of the abdomen, causing the
patient to suppose he had some affec-
tion of the Kidneys or ncighboring or
gans. At times, symptoms of indiges-
ton are present, as fiatulency, uneasi-
ness of the stomach, etc. A moisture.
like perspiration, producing C very
disagreeablc itching. after getting
warm, is very common attendant.
Blind, Bleeding and Itching Piles yield
at once to the. application of DIR Boz
sanko's Pile Remedy, which acts direct
iy upon the part affected, absorbing the

A well-known New York carpet dealer
went down the bay fishing the other
dav, but luck was bad, and when even
inc arrived his basket was entirely
empty. To make the thing more aggra-
waiting a withered old chap whose sail
boat was close by had been hauling up
fish after FISH apparently with the great
est ease. Our friend did not like TO go
home with nothing at all to show for his
DAYS sport CD and yet to purchase from
the luckier angler basketful OF fish and
palm them off as his own catch was an
expedient not consistent with the high
standard of morality prevailing IN the
Garnet trade. But after some cogltatlon
a way was found for getting out OF tins
difficulty. Approaching within lew
feet of the old fisherman the carpet man
made bargain with him for basket
ful but with the understanding that
each fish bought must be thrown to nm
and he would endeavor to catch 1t As
he explained, his conscience would not

A ConstantinOpolitan Fire Company


We soon caught sight of the captain of
the company. He was tall. athletic
fellow, wearing short, loose trousers of
white cotton cloth. His legs were bare
below the knees; he wore Turkish red
pointed shoes on his feet. without stock
ings-a loose jacket OF brown felt over a
white cotton shirt, and his head was
covered with a metallic bowl, which
shone brightly. A leather bclt encircled
his waist, and was clasped with large
brass buckle in front He was coming
toward us in double-q quick trot, brand
ishing. in proud manner, the brass
spout that belonged to the hose. He
was followed by the engine and tiremen
that belonged to it. Oh, what sight
Most of them were scantily clothed, and
some did not even have caps upon their
heads, but | noticed that all wore the
regulation bclt.with the large buckle in
trout. They were evidently of the class
which composed the riffraff of the city
The engine itself was nothing more than
a big sized garden pump, carried on the
shoulders of eight men, four in front and
four behind. They relieved one another
every now and then with great deXterity
and alertness.
They soon swept by us, followed by
the hose, which was coiled over a long
pole, the ends Of which rested on the
shoulders of another file of men. Just
as they reached the next corner there
emerged from side street another
engine, whereupon a squabble for the
right of way Immediately arose. The
two companies jostled and pushed for
ward, each party trying to get ahead OF
the other. After a long harangue and
buster, accompanied by constant yelling,
screaming and hard words, they lowered
their respective engines to the ground
and fell into a regular fight, wrestling,
pushing and knocking one another
down in a most ferocious manner. Their
looks and actions were frantic, and they
fought like madmen.
"Ah! There comes the ser-asker, the
minister of war; He'll soon settle their
dispute," cried voice near us. And he
did.
He was preceded by neovbetjee, who
cleared the way for him, and when he
came up he promptly ordered the com
panies to take up their engines and fol-
low him, which they did with the ut
most meekness and alacrity. There was
no chance now for either party to claim
the victory, but they kept up subdued
rattle of words all the way. q. N5cfoto..
