be remembered that during the protract-

success is predicted and prayed for this
season. Our pastor, Rev. Jos. Dare, is
Jealous worker and "dare-ing" man in

both the church people and the irreligious.

Cat Swamp Items

Mrs. Rebecca Davis, highly respected
and aged lady met with an accident last
week. She started to go up stairs, after
finishing up the mornings work, and
just as she started tainted, falling heavily
to the floor. She was unconscious about
four hours, and is still in bed.
On Thursday morning Mr.. Stephen
Pluck was taking Miss Lizzie Clark
teacher at Hayes sohool-to the school
met with, what might have been a SER
ious accident. On getting into the car
riage Mr.. Pluck lit his pipe, and unbe-
known to either spark fell on Miss
Lizzie's dress. The smoke of burning
clothing was noticed by person and at
tention was called to know what was the
matter. On investigation it was found
that one side of Miss Clark's dress was
charred, an umbrella badly burned, and
a large hole burned in the horse blanket
lying on the bottom of the wagon. This
was narrow escape, sure.
Considerable preparation was made to
receive Virgins cyclone, earthquake or
tornado, but we all were gladly disap-
pointed.
Such a time we all are having getting

Dover Fair.

The opening day of the Fair vas no t
very favorable as to good weather, but
the threatening clouds passed AMI de-
lightful day for the opening exercises.
In fact the whole week was iu.t such
weather as needed, except TUESDAY, when
the thermometer stood among the nine
ties. The attendance was very good, but
not surprising those of former years.
The number of exhibits were very large
and attracted considerable attention.
The exhibition of stock composed of
some of the finest stock in this country.
Farmers are happy and politicians are
making votes as such good opportunity
is presented. The racing prograr. was
interesting to lovers of sport and
added much to the interest of the Fair.
Altogether Dover Fair is finan9slly a
success.

w. Hartley 4 Co. Phila.
All literature in all languages ancient
and modern, has contributed to this trea-
ury. Aristotle, Rabbi Ben Azai, Lord
Bacon, Richard Baxter, julius Cesar,
Calvin, Cato, st. Cyprian, Confucius,
Demosthenes, Goethe, Gregory the
Great, Thomas Hood, Homer, Horace,
Keats Longfellow, Milton, Shakespeare.
Plutarch, and ZorOaster, are a few of the
names in the list of authors. Bossuet,
auckland, Bunsen, Bushnell, Mohammed
and others, are not quoted. Herein a
compiler shows his individuality, by
what he omits no less than by what he
admits. Also the subjects are popular,
literary, and for every day life, rather than
scientific, mathematical, or technical.
To admit all authors and all subjects
and all that has been said, one must have
a Universal Cyclopedia, not single vol
umc. What has been done has been well
done The book is worth a place in any
library however small. If the Bible be
ones first book, and an Unabridged
Dictionary the second, then Woolever's
Treasury deserves the third place: if for
no other reason for the reason manu-
facturer has given; because it is wooi exc,
there is no shoddy in it.
