The pioneers of our grandfathers' days,
who were accustomed to carry their old
flint-locks on their backs while they titled
the ground in their primitive way, would
be nonplussed If, upon n sudden resur-
rection, they were to be placed upon a
modern farm and allowed to continue
their work where they left of, but with
the aid of the implements and appliances
of husbandry in use to-day; or If, upon
the opening of the Exposition, the arch
angel should summon them into that de-
partment which will include the diver
sifed machinery and instruments of labor
which their descendants use that the
earth may yield of it's fruits and the
cattle and hocks of their increase, they
would surely call ON the hills and noun
tains to hide them.
Who can imagine what is included in
this exhibit The farmer Of to-day has
developed beyond what may be imagined.
He is, indeed, a specialist. He cultivates
the soil in the main, or turns his atten-
tion to the rearing of stock. And every
new device pertaining to his special work
has acted as an incentive to the further
ance of his plans.
In the Department of Agriculture there
are included twelve different groups.
They include Instruments for the tilling
Of the earth and the harvesting, storing
or transportation of crops. The appliances

To the north are the rich sheep and
cattle interests of Ohio. The valley of

Birthday Celebration.

EDITORS CITIZEN:-One Of the most
happy families in the county was
that of Mr.. John Emrick, of Summit
township. on the 26th ult. 1t was
Mr.. Emrick's 56th birthday and all
the children had come on the Satur-
day previous to spend Chris tmas at
the family homestead, where most OF
them were born and raised The
family consists of father aud mother
and eight children FIVE OF
whom are married. One
resides in Butler, one at Glade Mill,
three in Allegheny City, aud three at
the home of their parents. Grand,
mother Emrick, who has reached a
good old age, and who makes her
home with her son John, was also
present. Altogether four generations
were represented. Tue children gave
gifts to their parents and the parents
remembered their children in the
same manner. 1t was a pleasant
sight to see the family reu6ited
around the family board. Old age
aud childhood We'd with each other
in promoting the enjoyment of all,
and the excellent dinner contributed
not little to the
good cheer which prevailed. 1t is al
so worthy of remark that this family
is unbroken by single death. The
wish of the writer is that they may
enjoy many such happy reunions.

A Strange Case from Armstrong
County.

The Prothonotary of the Supreme
Court at Pittsbusg; last Monday re-
ceiyed another batch of Supreme
Court opinions handed down in Phil
adelphia Justice Williams handed
down an opinion in the appeal taken
from the Court of Quarter Sessions of
Armstrong county in the case Of the
Poor Overseers of Gilpin township vs
the Poor Overseers Of Parke town
ship. Alexander Williams, a colored
man, at the outbreak of the war left
the Southern plantation on which he
was a slave and joined the Union
army ,in which he obtained q we'll
earned reputation for bravery. After
the war was over he settled in Gilpin
township. where be married and rails
ed family. After livipg in Gilpin
township for a number zof years, he
removed to Parke township, where he
earued living for himself and his
family. About a year ago the Over
seers of the Poor of Parke township
became imbued with the idea that
Williams would eventually become
burden on the community, and to
prevent the possibility of their being
saddled with the expense, went to the
Court of Quarter Sessions, had Will
liams' legal residence declared to be
10 Gilpin township, and the Overseers
of the latter township were ordered
to remove the possible pauper. This
action was done without Williams
being notified or having any knowl-
edge of the proceedings
The first notice given to Williams
was on Sunday morning, when be
and his family were at breakfast A
wagon drove up to the door and he
was Informed that the family was to
be removed to Gilpin township. Will
liams objected, saying that he was
not pauper, and that his family had
plenty to eat, but was told that if he
did not 60 quietly he and his family
would be taken by force. Williams,
therefore, acquiesced, but said after
wards:
ut reminded me of old times when
[ was slave"
Justice Williams. in his opinion,
declares the action void and illegal
and violation of the bill of rights,

Another Bath.

The evil influence of baths upon
Southern statesmen is once more
brought to public notice.
The memorable. bath of the Hon.
John 81 Reagan, last year, when be
was the Representative of the Second
Texas district, is yet remembered by
newspaper readers. They can readi-
ly recall the sensation which the pub
lication of the damaging story caus-
ed in Mr. Reagan's state, and how
the bloodhounds OF the opposition US
ed it against him when he aspired to
succeed Mr.. Maxey as Senator They
also remember the other deplorable
effect-after be had, by great exer-
tion, obtained the seat in Senate, be
blossomed out a thorough Prohibi-
zionist.
Once more the bath has displayed
its pernicious activity. and once more
Southern statesman is its victim.
This tine, strange to say, it is Ken
lucky gentleman, no other than Sena-
tor Joseph G s. Blackburn himself
The statesman was iuGulging in a
bath concealed behind heavy curtains,
when a vigorous female from his dis
trict. who had beseiged him for a
government place, fon ght her way to
his room, despite the domestic's as
surance that the Senator was not at
home. Hearing somebody enter his
room, the Senator pulled the curtain
slightly and recognized the Office seek
er. A parley ensned. during which
the woman laid down the ultimatum
that the Senator would have to stay
in that bsth-tub until he promised
her a $50 place in the Interior De-
partment
To abbreviste the story, the wo-
man conquered. She was told to go
down to the parlor and she could
have anything she wanted Her sal
AIRY began yesterday.
The further results of the episode
remain to be seen The effect of this
story upon Mr. Blackburn's constitu-
ents can only be conjectured. But as
be is safe in Senatorial seat until
1898. his offense may be forgotten or
condoned by that time
Will the other effect noticed in Sen.
ator Reagan's case also occur in Sen.

into Prohibitionist ? But on sec.
