The Literary Society of Liberty
Grove will tackle this evening tina
old familiar debate question: Whici,
has received the worst treatment at
the hands of the white man, the Ne

In addition to the regular debate
the entertainment for the evening
will be varied with music, essays, rec
itations &c. The ambitious company
are laying out to discuss some heavy
senatorial questions in the course OF
the winter such as the Silver question
Civil Service and similar subjects.
We hope the society will have its
secretary send the MIDLAND JOURNAL
weekly report. Such associations
are productive of mnch good, aside
from the pleasant social intercourse
they afford.
An exchange we'll says: Concern.
ing what are known as standing ad
vertisements in newspapers, which
some merchants say are useless, it
has been remarked, and truly, that
they command confidence. The man
who for years in community lives
a respectable life, even though he be-
of moderate ability, will grow in the
confidence of his fellows. On the
same principle newspaper adver-
tisement becomes familiar to the
reader. 1t may not be read every
week, still it makes the man and his
business familiar and it's continued
presence in the columns of the paper
inspires, confidence in the stability
of the advertiser
Every observing business man
knows this to be true, and those who
act upon it are generally found at
the front.

NARROW ESCAPE.
FROM AN AWFUL DooM-CoLLAPsE OF
A CRATER.

The following appears under the
above heading in an Eastern paper,
and will be interesting here as a
specimen of the volcano literature
floating about for the past two
months:-
Charles M. Rowley, vice-president
of the Brush electric light company
at Poughkeepsie, N. Y, tells an
interesting story of somewhat an
noying adventure which he, together
with his family, narrowly escaped
in the Sandwich Islands the other
day. On their way from Australia
to San Francisco, they stopped at
the island of Hawaii, where they
journeyed over 30 miles of lava
beds to the crater of Kilauea, 1000
feet above the sea. They descended
at night into the crater and sat for
hours on the brink Of the famous
lake of fire, which was three miles
long by u miles wide. The waves
of fire were running very high, often
100 feet, while the eruptions were
of frequent occurrence, throwing
molten lava into the air with noise
that was deafening. 1.-The entire
crater" says Mr.. Howley in his let
ter to friend in Poughkeepsie,
Including miles around the lakes,
the very spot where we sat down and
passed hours, in three miles OF
pathway across the lava beds upon
which we walked, within 38 hours
after we left was completely des-
troyed, the whole having fallen in
and leaving an open crater, miles in
extent and apparently fathomless.
This was followed by 43 distinct
shocks of earthquake, lasting for a
period of IA hours. The whole
party felt thankful at their narrow
escape from an awful doom, and
will remember the rest Of their days
how near they came to journey to
the center of the earth"

but now, wherever one is to be found it
is kept like relic. The few preserved

People have come eighteen miles to get

mistake. She took my advice and the

and the people around us are amazed
The medicine has made such progress
in our neighborhood that people say
they don't want the doctor any more
but they take the Syrup. Sufferers from
govt who were confined to their bed and
could hardly move a finger, have beer
cured by IT. There is girl in our dis
trict who caught a cold by going
through some water, and was In bed five
years with costiveness and rheumatic
pains, and had to have an attendant tC
watch by her. There was not doctor
in the surrounding districts to whom
her mother had not applied to relieve
her child, but every one crossed them
selves and said they could not help her
Whenever the little bell rang which i
rung in our place when somebody i
dead, we thought surely it was for her
but Seigel's Syrup and Pills saved he
life and now she is as healthy as any
body, goes to church, and can worl
even in the fields. Everybody was as
tonished when they saw her out, know
ing how many years she had been il
