More Natural Curiositles.

Joseph Coats of Porter Bridge has.
left some curiosities of the squash
family on exhibition at DR.. Kinks
drug store. He raised Is squashes
ON one vine. and the cu-iosities he.
has placed on exhibition are triplet,
and two pair of twins. One pair of
twins are joined by the stem, the
other, as we'll as the triplet bunch
have grown together solidly. The,
squasEes are of the yellow, summer
variety. This prolific out break in

The Strike at North East.

The strike of the Rolling mill men
at North East last week was on ac-
count of not receiving as much wag-
es and having to work more hours
than men similarly employed at Will
mington by the company, so they
state. The strikers belonged to the
order known as Knights of Labor.
This order owing to the numerous
strikes through out the country are
directly responsible for the wide
spread inactivity in business which
universally prevails in the United
States. Whatever counter balancing
benefit the strikes have produced
have not been stated in defence of
the strikes.

the hard times and low prices do not
appear to have dampened the ardor
of the farmers. The Waring Fertil-
izer Company sold considerably
more stuff last spring than in any
previous spring sales. The sales
drew SO largely on the stock they
had appropriated for fall, that they
report it threatens to be nip and
tuck with them to fill all their other
fall orders. The works run largely
on S. G. Rock.
Their corn meal processing is ly-
ing off during the hot weather, but
when the corn bread season comes
round, which is with the approach of
frost they will push the business
pretty lively. The meal they use is
white corn meal made by the roller
process which insures a product of
uniform quality. At present the
meal is ground in Delaware, and the
preparation consists of mixing with
it the proper proportion of phosphor-
ic acid to make it ready for the oven
without any addition OF baking
powder or yeast when it comes into
the cooks hands. We had a trial
package presented us and prom ounce
the product a fine article of corn
bread when the printed directions,
are followed. The advantage of the
preparation is that any slip shod
cook can make as good bread from
the meal, as an expert corn bread
maker can from the crude material.
If the enterprise promises well,
grinding and mixing machinery will
be put in and the manufacturing will
be carried on by steam on an extend
ed scale, which will make fine mark.

raised in the neighborhood.
Colora steadily improves and the
wide.a-wake enterprise which per-
meates the place promises to develop
it into village of considerable i'm
portance IN few years.
Mr.. Fryar proposes soon to COM
mence building a residence for his
own occupancy.
e1Mr. Slater b. Tosh is filling and
leveling up abont his handsome store
and Mr.. Hines is pushing improve
ments on his confectionery and ice
cream parlors. Mr.. Ennis Newlin
has recently opened cigar and to-
bacco store opposite the bone factory
and proposes to grow up with the
village. Let him make haste slowly
and not be temped to sell whiskey on
the sly as some evil councillors will
be sure to advise him.
A. S. Elliott we'll and favorably
known through out the upper part OF
Cecil has neat little store in Street
Browns new building, and is doing
a satisfactory business. Wiley &
Fryar the old merchandsers of the
place, report business steadily i'm
proving. Two or more general mer
chandse stores in thriving town, it
is claimed, by those who ought to
know, increase the trade of the place
by drawing on larger territory for
custom.
Our old friend VIM. Coale is in
the hay business at Colora, and is

The Northern Pacific directors never
made a more fatal mistake than wheh
thew decided to build around Fen
d'Oreille lake instead of adopting the
Clearwater route. The company no"
freely acknowledge that srieVous
blunder was.made, and it is an absolute
fact that they will endeavor to modify
the evil effects OF that's error OF judg-
ment by including the Clearwater
country in their railroad system Just as
soon as they can com mand the money
to build the road. The very piling and
trestle- work used by the Northern
Pacific In crossing the Pen dOreiile
lake was all constructed from Clear
water timber RATED down in logs to the
saw mill at Riparia and there cut and
shipped to the northern country. The
Clearwater is incomparebly larger,
richer and more productive country
than that through which the trunk line
now runs, and it is possible that the
Clearwater may yet be made the main
avenue Of transcontinental travel.

Territorial Delegates.

The eight Delegates to Congress from
the various territories have not been
honured with much attention, thus far
in this session. Thew have been made
to drink the bitter dregs of the cup of
disappointed ambition; or, AS the san
Francisco Alta Caltornto's Washington
correspondent puts it, been made to
feel " hat it is to be a congressional
-unuch." The same writer illustrates
the CALLING neglect of territorial dele
pates by the superior fellow-congress-
men as follows:
Charley Voorhees,, of Washington
territory, managed to get In few words
of forcible protest on the subject of ex
members lobbying on the floor, and
was incontinently sat down upon. He
likewise ventured snme Suggestions con-
corning the cession of portion of the
territory OF Idaho to the territory OF
Washington, and the Idaho delegate.
John HALEY was allowed to say some
thing on that question. Delegate Bean,
of Arizona, was fortunate enough to
present resolui ion offering reward of
S25 900 for Geropimo's head, which was
referred to the committee on Indian af
fairs, and there pigeon-holed. Mr..
Bean had magnificent speech prepared
to deliver on the silver question, con-
corning which he knew as much as any
man in America, but the learned pundits
of the Louise would not let him in any
where and cboked him of. Delegate
Caine of Utah, objected to something
the other day, and the point of order
vas imm ediately raised that a delegate
had no right to object. The balance OF
the delegates have not been heard from,
save when they draw their pay, are
drumned by eook-agents. and subjected
10 the borrowing processes by constit-
uents who are dead broke and unable

as large this year as 1T was last

not able to make anything beyond
