FLOUR SACK FACToRY-For several
days past Mr.. III. A. Subilia, Of the
New Ulm Roller Mill Co., has been
agitating the establishment Of a flour
sack factory In this city, and we un-
derstand that Mr.. G. G. Brandt has
about concluded to put in the necessa.
ry machinery to give this enterprise a
fair trial. Mr.. Subilia informs us
that the New Ulm mills use $4,000
worth of flour sacks every year, and
that from twenty to thirty ladies could
be steadily employed in manufacture
ing flour sacks for the New Ulm mills.
The sacks could be produced in such
quantities that neighboring mills
would find it to their interests
to place their orders here, and
we can see no good reason why an
enterprise of this kind should not pros

FIRE. The burning of a small sta

end Of town createda little excite
ment among the inhabitants of that
portion of the city. A COW perishe
in the flames. The stable and
COW were the property Of John Klau-

little boys near the stable about five
minutes before the fire was discovered,
which no doubt explains the origin Of
the fire.
All search for Mr.. jerome Lang,
missing since April l4tb, has proved
unayailing. We learn that on the
day of his disappearance heavy land
slide occurred near Diepolder's place,
and as he was seen in that neighbor-
hood it is surmised that he was caught
in the slide and that his body lies be-
meath the mass Of earth and sand. IF
there are any good grounds for this
supposition, steps should be taken to
clear away the earth, and ascertain to
a certainty the fate Of the missing
man.
EXHIBITION SKATING. An immense
and enthusiastic crowd assembled at

Annie Nicholson, a little seven year old
girl Owing to sickness, Miss Annie did
not appear. Mr.. Ament gave a fine
exhibition in fancy and difficult roller
skating, and he was repeatedly cheered
by the spectators. The Silver Cornet
Band furnished the music for the occa-
sion.
IA spirited runaway occurred in this

met at the Court House in this cluy

several resolutions adopted by the
state farmers convention and recon-
mended their endorsement.
At the conclusion Of Mr.. Brandt's
remarks, Mr.. .Manderfeld invited those
present to express their opinions on
the various subjects agitated by the
State farmers convention. No one
accepting the invitation, Mr.. Brandt
submitted the following resolution,

dorse the action Of the farmers con-
vention at St. Paul, held on the 18th,
10Th an 2Oth days of March, 1884, so
far as it refers to controlling Of rail
roads, elevators and the grading OF
wheat by State authority, and demand
the enactment of such laws by our
next legislature similar to those now
in force in the States Of Illinois and
Massachusetts,, that will serve to pro-
tect and enforce the rights of farm

CAUSE OF THE FIGHT THAT LED TO
THE SENATOR'S OVERTHROW,

PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 10TH In
the winter Of 1880, when Wash
ington Mclean entertained General
Grant, the elite Of Cincinnati socie-
ty thronged his spacious parlors on
Fourth street. John Mclean was
present, OF course, as were Senator
r 9 u dleton and the latter's two
daughters, and McLean's attentions
to the elder OF the two were then
much remarked on. While fashion
able people admired the character
and accepted the Inequalities Of the
elder Mclean, the younger was even
then looked on with strong social
disfav0r, his habits and associations
being esteemed Of rather a coarse
type. He had not then developed
his capacity for executive work, but
was simply beefy- faced, thick-leg-
ged young man, who always wore
short, close-6tting coats and very
tight trousers, and was said to be
proud Of c0nquestS made by his
"form." His political influence was
then scarcely known outside OF his
ward. He visited at Senator PEN
dlet0n's hands0 ne residence on
Mount Auburn, and was roputed to
be much attached to Miss Mary, the
eldest OF Senator Pendleton's two
daughters, whose manners and &C.
complishments have done SO much
to make the Senator's Washington
home distinguished for its charm.
Senator Pendlet0n was then out Of
office, living quietly at Cincinnati,
but evidently very anxious to get In
to the political circle again. The
Cincinnati Enquirer was ,0f course,
counted valuable ally and a formi-.
dable foe. So while he and Mrs.
Pendleton disapproved OF John Nc
Lean as son-in-law, they endured
his attentions as long as possible.
Suddenly John McLean's visits to
the Senator's house ceased. It was
whispered that the young lady had
been cautioned to reject him, and at
once began that bitter personal en-.
unity which has since grown into.
political hatred, and has eliminated

Martinsburg was also represented
by several sleigh loads Of ladies
and gentlemen. We had an
invitation to be present but some
body said that if we went she
would have to 90 along and that

dent. We are truly glad to sec
these institutions making such adj
vancement and taking such firm
ho'd on the consideration Of ths
public. We feel that they are ca
pable Of being used as q great
moral and intellectual source Of
improvement. It is to be hoped
that they will be rendered attrac
tive to the young people, VIC
should be induced to do their ut
termost to help, for they will be
the ones benefited. Most of us
experience a difficulty in giving
expression to our thoughts when
called upon to do so before an au-
dience. This arises partly from
a feeling Of nervousness and want
of confidence in ourselves, and
partly from the impossibility OF
concentrating our ideas at short
notice. These difficulties are how
ever not insuperable, and the de-
bates usually forming part of the
exercises, are one great means of
overcoming them. Let the sub
ject be properly thought out, re-
ference made to books, when prac-
tica5le, till the student has the
subject well in his mind, then let
him boldly and freely express his
thoughts, and he will find that
each attempt will give him increas-
ed confidence and facility of u
terance. Youth is the season for
study and for improvement in ev-
cry respect, mental and physical,
and those who neglect their op.
portunities may have cause, later,
to regret it.

been drawn r.o and numerously
signed, but we believe that the q.
v. authorities had already deter
mined to supply this much felt
want, though doubtless this ex-
preston of public sentiment will
exercise its influence.

/ have thought q reminescence
of the past thirty years, of the
history of this reighborhood and
lis surroundings, comparing their
former condition with the present
might prove interesting to your
many readers, especially those old
or ough to remember, and who are
still identified with the communi-
ty by residence. Thirty years ago
Bedington was at and around the
mill alone, containing the families
of Jacob f. Light, whose resi-
dence is now owned and occupied
by Mr.. Mayhem; A. w. McCleary
occupied the stone residence on
the hill, now owned and occupied
by Mr.. John Kennedy. The old
stone house, now vacant, was oc-
CAPPED by Warner Miller, mer-
chant, and Joseph Fleming, tail
or. The house now occupied by
Mr.. John Lyddan, was then ten
anted by DR.. Quigley. The mill,
now doing simply country trade
was then manufacturing and ship
ping large quantities of -four,
packed in barrels, to Georgetown,
d. G., by canal boats loaded at
the mouth of the Opequon every
week. Wagons from Sleepy Greek
region would bring the empty
barrels for packing flour made by
this mill. The present residence
of DIR. Davis was owned and occu-
pied by DR.. q. A. Hamill Our
post-ofice was at Hainesville, in
the store of Henry Haines, now
the reaidence Of Henry Quilliams.
Mr.. Joseph Unger owned the
fem, the house of which is now
occupied by Mr.. Wilhelm. Mr..
Hamilton ]. Light then resided at
his hone farm, now occupied by
his son-in-law, H. Riner Spel DIV.
The residence and farm now own
ed and occupied by Jacob F Lem
on was the home of Rev. John
Light. The farm now owned by
Dave Spitznogle was then owned
by Peter Crowl. All the old resi-
dents mentioned had large fami-
lies, and the changes show few if
any retaining connection in any
manner with the present times.
The young people Of that period
at this season of the year enjoyed
in constant social in
tercourse by parties at various
houses and during the summer
seaso 1 much enjoyment and pleas
ure was secured by what we then
termed picnics and tournaments,
at which usually dancing was the
pastime of the young folks. We
then had preaching in both of the
churches, ono being under the
Methodist Protestant-the other
under the NJ. E. Church. We
knew no North or South church
then, and it is to be hoped we may
again see no distinction between
churches Of q sectional character.
The old Nj. e. Church edifice is
now going to decay, from sheer
neglect on the part of those whom
it is said to belong. For the old
memories of the past, and the as
sociations Of blessings secured
within its walls, many look with
regret upon it's delapidated condi.
ton and hope that it may again
be recovered and appropriated to
