The Local Ne,cspaper.-The Phila-
delphia Times, one of the very best
daily papers in the country, has the
following good words to say for the
local newspaper
The New Year is good time to consider
the generally overlooked claims of the local
newspaper. 1t is the most useful and least
compensated and appreciated of all the
agencies which stamp the impress of progress
upon villages and inland cities. With
out the local newspaper local towns are,
as rule, ti.:.etless, and tend to decay. 1t is
common for small great men to speak with
contempt Of the local newspaper. In that
they .imitate greater men in speaking of
greater journals which offend by manly crit
icism but the village newspaper makes more
great men out Of less material-more
bricks without straw-than any other factor
in politics. and it is the one ladder on which
men climb to local distinction as the begin
ming Of wider fame. Local weeklies have
now extended from the country towns into
most of the thrifty villages, and the advent
Of the local newspaper has always dated the
increased thrift of the community. The local
newspaper is the life of the locality, and the
measure Of its support, as a rule, measures
the advancement of the people. Begin the
new year by not only subscribing, bat paying
for your local newspaper. They are the
friends and helpmates of all seasons.

The Centenary Aeeting.-The union
of the M. E. Church and the NJ. E.
Church, South, Sunday Schools last
Sunday was an interesting affair. The
commodious lecture-room Of the NJ. E.
Church was packed and the exercises
laid out by programme, attentiyely
followed. The addresses by Rev. J.
F. Baggs, of Piedmont, and Owen
Hitchins, of this place, were thought
full and well-constructed efforts; the
readings by Misses Mamie ]. Mason
and Laura Thrasher were happy in Sc
lection and rendition, and the singing
spirited. Rev. j. P. Wright conduct
ed the exercises and Miss Mary B.

OF the amount of coal shipped from
this region this year 81 ,489 tons have
gone from mines on the Maryland side
of the Potomac river.
The Clearfeld output to above date
is 1886 tons, or so, 937 tons ahead Of

Generally the work is not good. A

Ayers Sarsaparilla.

Since then Mr.. LELAND has recommended
AYERS SARsAPARILLA in many similar
cases, and he has never yet heard of its fall
ure to effect radical cure.
Some years ago one of Mr.. ..ELANDs farm
laborers bruised his leg. Owing to the bad
state of his blood, an ugly scrofulous swelling
or lump appeared on the injured limb. llor-
rible itching of the skin, with burning and
darting pains through tho lump, made life
almost ntolerable. Tho leg became onor-
mously enlarged, and running ulcers formed,
discharging great quantities of extremely
offensive matter. No treatment was Of any
avail until the man, by Mr.. LELAND's direc-
ton. was supplied with AYERS SARsAPA-
RILLA, which allaycd the pain and irritation,
healed the sores, removed the swelling, and
completely restored the limb to use.

Frostburg is the place to come for
health. An invalid here last sum-

severely. The exercise benefited
the visitor so much that he is now
entirely well.

THE BUSINESS END OF 1T.

For several days, great loads of rough
spoke wood-the best of white oak-have
passed our office door, and on inquiring we
have learned that they were going to the
depot to be shipped to enterprising fac
tories in the North and West, where they
will be dressed and polished and sent back
to us, increased in value from fifty to one
hundred times.
The cost of labor expended upon them,
will probably not be more than the freight
going and returning, while if manufactured
here this freight bill would be saved, and
the cost reduced by so much.
Now the question is, why can not such
manufacturing be done in Virginia? =
We have the timber-in some places water
power, and in others fuel for steam, with
any number of mechanics eager for such
opportunities. This policy of sending
out of the country all raw materials will
keep us always dependent people. We
shall not only not have anything by which
to draw men and money to us, but will of
necessity continue to send all the surplus
money of our section to other parts for our
supply of manufactured goods. The timber
will be exported-the water power run to
waste-and the intelligent young mechanic
may emigrate to other States, find exercise
for ingenuity and skill, while we send the
money to support him. Would it. not be
much wiser to support him at home ?-1he

some insects, and from destructive cyclones,
which SO often lay waste the most produc-
tive portions of the West. Our mountains,
which constitute the lungs of this part of
the continent, are, and must ever continue
to be, clothed with verdure, which is con-
stantly giving out oxygen, and absorbing
injurious gases, thus furnishing perpetual
guarantee of good health. All that is nee
essary, is, for man to do his part by burn
ing and restoring to the soil the lime, of
which the commissions of nature, in past
ages, have robbed it, to form the limestone
lodges which are the basis of the best and
most lasting fertilizers; and by construct
ing good roads, to facilitate intercourse be-
tween the people, and the means of trans
portation of the exuberant products of our
farms to market. Let us but do our duty,
and at no distant day we will find ourselves
in possession of the most delightful portion
of the earth. A. NATIVE.

TIL policy of requiring full service for a
fair salary, and faithful, earnest discharge
of official duty is the Democracy of Thomas
Jefferson. A powerful, expensive, luxur-
ions government, with tendencies to royal
ty, started with Federalists, was budding
forth in the third term for Grant under Re-
publican culture. Capitalization as held
by Garfield, was the offspring of the FEEDER
al teachings of Hamilton, held and taught
by his followers. All these germs of strong
government, showing i'll one way or another
in the Republican party, from the election
of Abraham Lincoln to this day, are in &C
cord with the principles held by that party,
and in direct opposition to the liberal, lib
erty teaching principles held and set forth
by Democratic leaders during the last
twenty-four years without exception. 1t
matters not which party is in power, Or
which in majority, these principles are
the same, and in the government of peo-
pie they are eternal 1t matters not, there
fore, what the administration of Mr.. Cleve-
land, or the policy of his leaders, or the
action of his Cabinet. Whether he distri-
butes patronage judiciously or injudicious-
ly-whether he rewards improper persons
or neglects the faithful, the party must be
sustained, and the people must see that
those who stick to principles, stand by the
doctrines of the party and advocate sound,
economical policy are their representatives
and leaders. -Lynch6uy Advance

The United States steamer Iroquois has

Ecuador. She goes with sealed instruc-
lions, but it is understood that her COM
mander has orders to demand the release
of the American, Julio Santos, imprisoned
in Ecuador on trumped up charge of
completely in rebellion against the gov
eminent. Secretary bayard has displayed
commendable energy in dealing with this
vexatious question, and the delay in the
matter would seem to have been unavoida-

now be restored to his family and friends
at an early day.

A Terrible Balloon Accident.

CHARLESTON, W. Va, June 19.-One OF
the outdoor attractions of the Richards &
Leon circus was balloon ascension. Just
as the rope holding the balloon was cast
off to-day, the hOt-air stove used in inf1at-
ing the balloon overturned and set the bal
loon on fire. The balloon shot up rapidly
with William Patterson in the basket BE
was afraid to jump, and the balloon was sew
eral hundred feet high when it collapsed.
Patterson was picked up shapeless mass OF
Gfeless flesh. He was only twenty two
years old and this was his first ascension.
P. S.-The Charleston CIV. Va.,) Even-
INC Star of Saturday says -
"From a foster brother we learn that the
name Of the deceased was VIM. E. Patter-
son, aged twenty three years, married and
has family living at Wellsburg, Ohio. He
had been with the show but short time,
and appeared to have an insane desire to
make balloon ascension, but his request
was always denied by his foster brother
who was fearful that some accident might
befall him, he never having made an ascen-
sion. Yesterday he obtained the consent
of his foster brother and the sad result is
well known"

evidence. This was that j. D. Savage, of
Clifton Forge, would testify to having
seen Cluverius in the Dime Museum on the
night of the 18th of March; but it turns
out that Mr.. Savage is mistaken, for he
was at Clifton Forge, as shown by the
there, on the 18th, 18th, and
14th of March. Savage says that he does
not know Cluverius. 1t is very evident
that Cluverius will not get new trial on
