FOR JACK TRAMP.

MEssRs. EDIroRs Please do have "JaclS
Tramp" arrested. lie might prove dangerous
If allowed to Tramp" For we can see from
his reflections" that he would, if he could,
deprive some OF us OF our chief Amusement: or
principle employment, 4. E.. grumbi"g !, for
one, would be quite lost if could not grumblo
and fad fault with everybody and everything
reasonably or unreasonably. Might not we as
well grumble, as to tramp about grinning de-
moniacay?" should like to know who ought
To be any better able to smell " suShur about,
than a - Tramp" Now, Messrs. L litors, caht
you give us a corner in your paper that shall be
all our own, aud call 1t Grumbler's Trumpet
that we may grumble through it loud and long
and make everybody feel just as uncomfortable
as we can. You must know there is very little
comfort in grumbling if there is no one to hear
il. and more the merrier. Then yOu shall see
&" Jack " will be apt d" Tramp" in our direction
if only to grin at us and grumble, because
he hears us grumble. Come jack" if you
don't smell too strong Of " sulphur" and won't
swear at Us, we do wish for another epistle,'
for we would like to learn to grin more and
lrown less; and then we like to hear you
"grumble," it sounds home-like and natural )
perhaps if we cannot learn to be laughing
philosophers" we may, some day, be able to
grin aud grumbIe.
Yours, respectfully, G. r. uNBLER
P. S.-Please don't tell " jack" but we think
his grumbling " on the reasonable order.

Wheat threShing is in full blast. The roar Of
the machine and the whistle Of the engines is

Of our town. In would seem that they had

contemplate having 4 ferry scow built to send
their children to the new building, should it be

Probably both would be necessary. The lot
was sod not very long ago for $40, so ON told.

But before going to sleep, told some Of the party
to call him when No. 10 passed. They neglected
to do this, aud when he awoke, he was so en-
ragged at oyerAeepng his time that be drew bis
revolver and said he would shoot the first man
that stepped on the track. Maloy said: Marvel
you would not shoot me, would you" At that
moment Marvel threw his revolver over his
shoulder and fired. The ball entered just above
MelOys right eye, and he was in a critical con-
dition when last heard from.
The people of Greenwood and St. Johnstown
held a picnic on the Fourth in the woods near
Curry's race course. There were about twelve
hundred present. Mrs. NJ. A. Stuart made a
speech in which she referred to the adoption Of
the Declaration OF Independence as giving free
dom TO every one except the woman. The
Declaration of Independence was read by Mr..
r. J. Hill of Pennington. There was also a
game of ball played between the Greenwood
club and the Laurel club, which resulted in
favor Of the Greenwood, 10 to runs; six
innings for Greenwood and seven for Laurel.
To the disappointment of many, there was no
irotting. Those that had fast horses were afraid
to bring them out, as there was danger Of some
one being run over. EREcF.

COMMUNICATIONS.
HINT TO SUBSCRIBERS.

An old proverb says; "Glve The Devil His
Due" yes; but how can Your editors do so If
you will not pay your dues. Publishing papers
is not like playing Croquet or Lawn Tennis, it is
not done either for exercise or amusement. I;it
were, they could have satisfaction; as the exer-
else would come while trying to come up with
their dcnqueuts; and the amusement while
watching their cunning lodges. If the paper IS
worth having and you remember to take and
read it, don't forget TO pay for it, II our printed
matter could be suddenly swept from the face of
the earth, VIC should then, for the first time,
begin to realize its value. When You feel like
finding fault with your printer, just stop down
and run the paper yourself for Il season; you
would find il hard work to give the devil his
due and have anything left for yourself. VOx.

most preposterous things are done
because sanctioned by custom. In
the first place, every possible food is
administered shall not dwell on
particulars -colored candy, sour
milk, fresh bread, sausage, coffee
and tea, raw fruit, vegetables, etc.
The result is, diarrheal diseases and
death"
THE CHURCHMAN.
From the Churchman'S "Quiet
Corner" by the Bishop Of EastOn
we extract the following; GOD S
visible creation is one great complex
instrument, whose harmOnies we
dimlv understand. Only our instinct
tells us there is n harmony, from the
heavy beat Ofits ocean sigh, through
all the scale, up to the clear treble
of its little birds. And when the
windowof heaven is opened to let
in upon us gush Of higher music,
the song of Moses mingles with the
song of the Lamb, and mysterious,
emblematic forms Ofliving creatures
find place among the ranks ofangels
and of perfected saints.
l dare not define more explicitly
what is disclosed to us only in eng
ma; but this 1 may say, with much
assurance and with divine warrant,
that he who ascending the mount OF
Gods revelation, has caught a
glimpse of the Divine glory, and lis
tened to the words Of the Divine
wisdom, when he descends, his heart
all aglow, into the lower vale, shall
discern the flashing of that glory
from common things, and hear the
echo of that heavenly teaching in the
voices of most familiar sounds. As
Peter, according to the legends, had
always tear to shed when the cock
crew, so Gods children, experienced
in the school of sin and pardon, may
be melted to remember their de
pendence by the lowing of an OK, or
to thoughts of pity by the cooling OF
/ a dove.

Dir. Bulkley Of the Skin and Can
Ger Hospital, said: The effects of
moderate smoking on the average
man are not seen at ALL" He had
met with comparatively few cases OF
cancer from smoking, not more than
dozen in eighteen or twenty years
practice.
1t is evident that we are not to
receive help from the medical pro
fession in the fight against the vice
of tobacco using. Good sense and
deceney have restricted its use some
what. and one is not so much annoyed
in railroad cars and public places by
the expectorations of tobacco users
as was the case few years ago, but
there is still great room for improve
ment.
If the use of tobacco does not
affect the health or morals of the
users, it frequently turns the stomach
and provokes the tempers Of those
who don't, and the devotees of the
weed should be careful not to cause
their brothers to offend.

COMMENTING on the Ohio nomina.
tions The Nation remarks: "That the
spirit of the Blaine campaign in
Ohio was in the convention that
nominated Foreaker. The method
of nomination was a precise imita-
uion of the memorable Blaine nomi-
nation in Chicago. 1t was secured
in advance by the same machine
methods, and then put through with
similar outbursts of enthusiasm,
yelling, Grassland music, and flag
waving. The platform as we have
already pointed out, is the Chicago
one warmed over. The reception of
the Convention work by the State
is also much like that which the
country gave to Blaine S nomination.
There is something very like "a sick
ening thud audible, accompanied
with renewed Democratic confidence.
In view of all this similarity, it is to
be regretted that Blaine and Logan
are not to take the stump. We
should like very much to see the
campaign Of 1884 in Ohio fought
over again without the assistance of
Marshall Wright in Cincinnati, and
the secret aid Of the Mclean ring"

As the ravagas of cholera grow
more alarming in Europe, it makes
it a positive necessity that the people
of the United States, and our section
especially is interested, that all
sources from whence cholera germs
may eminate, shall be thoroughly
oleansed. Thousands have died in
Spain from this terrible disease, and
it is not improbable that thousands
may die in the United States this
year from the same cause. People
should be careful of what they eat,
and of the sanitary conditions sur
rounding them. Pig-pens should be
cleaned at least once each week,
privies should be kept cleaned out
and chloride of lime sprinkled down
them, and all stagnant water drained
OH. Diarrhna, cramps in the stomach
and vomiting are the prominent
symptoms. A general cleaning up
will not do any harm, even if it does
10 good, and it should not be post
poned.

The ladies who have the manage
ment of the Harvard Annex, have
made an appeal to the public for
funds to increase their facilities for
ahording a higher education to
women. The sum asked for, is only
$4,000, and it seems as though there
should be no difficulty in securing
such small amount to advance an
institution that has proven its ne
cessity by the numbers that have
crowded its present narrow quarters.

THE New York World has inter-
viewed a number of physicians in
regard to the injury done to the
health of the community by the use
of tobacco, and especially as to the
danger of cancer from smoking
Some deny that there Is any such

others says that although the disease
is very rare, a few cases do occur.
DIR. Stephen Smith of Bellevue Hos
