With this issue the SITTER enters
upon its sixth year of its existence.
During these five years it has been
kicked and cuffed, thrown into prison
and turned out of doors. But with
all these drawbacks it has steadily ex-
tended its circulation and begins its
sixth year with bona tide subscrip-
ton list of 1900 copies, with no WISH
BILE reason why this number will not
be increased the coming year. This
success we attribute to three reasons:
LIST. To our own perseverance and
to the tenacity with which we held to
our conceptions of right and justice.
I'd. To the fierce opposition, a
mounting to persecution, that the pa
per received from its enemies.
Sd, and lastly, to the scores of
men and women, Republicans and
Democrats, whose sense of business
and fairness was outraged by this per-
secution, and who not only extended
their sympathy but rendered material
aid without which we would have been
compelled to have succumbed.
TO these latter, this Thanksgiving
morn, the SITTER extends it's greet
ing and its hearty God bless you each
and every one.

On this Thanksgiving morn;
Thy gracious mercy do not spare,
To all with hearts new born.
Nor let the needy, weak or poor

Go hungry from thy vestry door,

Then ring, ye bells, ring loud and long,
This blessed Thanksgiving morn,
While all our hearts attuned to song,
Acknowledge, Lord, we're thine.

And what would do in the glare,
IF Fortune should smile and give me
To sit in the presidents chair.
CHORUS.
TT sat i'm the presidents chair,
Deep water I'd surely prepare,
And Galveston's cheek,
Should take back seat,
If 1 sat in the presidents chair.
On our industries too I'd keep look
out,
And wool should be well protected,
Foreign pauper's should not be allow

And labor should not be neglected.
I'd legislate well for the rich and the
poor,
And justice I'd do on the square,
My officers too, should be sober and

If sat in the presidents chair
The people should always well fare,
There'd be no foreign raid,
By British free trade,
If sat in the presidents chair.
There'd be no great surplus that's
boarded in vaults
While veterans wanted their bread;
No large tracts of land ID foreigners

Young Lady of Electrical Disturbances

There is living in Cleveland, O., n
lady afflicted with peculiar malady
which has puzzled and bailied the entire
medical fraternity OF this section OF the
country. Herself the sister OF we'll
known physician, she has been unable
to obtain any relief, and has turned in
despair from one form of treatment to
another without avail. Some years ago,
when young girl, the house in which
she was stopping at the time was struck
by lightning. All OF the inmates were
stunned, aud more or less seriously in
iured. This young lady suffered more
severely than the other victims. The
shock completely paralyzed both her
organs of speech and motion, and she
lay for deys III most precarious condl-
ton. Recovery, although slow, was ap-
parently complete, howeve-, and in a
few weeks the effect Of the stroke had
entirely passed away, says the Pittsburg
Dispatch.
One day size felt the dread symptoms
of paralysis stealing over her, and before
assistance could be summoned The I'M
fortunate woman was again Frustrated,
speechless, and unable to move IL muscle
of her body. 1t WAS noticed Mt the time
that a heavy thunder storm WAS brewing,
and that ihe air Wars overcharged with
electricity. When the storm WAS over
the patient rapidly recovered, and the
next day was as well as ever. save the
nervous shock attending the rclapse.
The next thunder storm brought with
it the same alarming state OF affairs,
and again was the young woman para
lived, recovering only when the atnos-
phere was cleared of lis overcharge Of
electricity. The fact that tue victims
system, rendered sensitive to electrical
changes by tile frightful shock it had
received when she was struck by light
ming, was now susceptible to the slight
est presence of the subtle fluid, was now
apparent, and medical science was
called into requisition to effect cure.
All remedies proved ineffective, and
with every recurring thunder storm the
unfortunate woman relapses into state
OF partial OF complete paralysis, accord
ing to the severity of the storm Her
health has, of course, suffered from the
constant strain put upon her both ply
sicaly and mentally, but there appears
to be no relief from the malady, if it
can be termed such.

Farm and Garden Notes.

Do not put fresh skinned milk into
tho churn unless you want to waste one
fifth of your butter in the buttermilk.
1t will be found profitable to milk the
hcilcr as long as possible the first year
of her dairy life, giving her generous
feeding to make rich blood. This will

A chatauqua County, N. Y. dairy
map lays down the following rule for
making and packing butter: Skim
cream as soon as the milk ceases 10 be
sweet. At every skimming thoroughly
mix all the cream. When ready for
churning IN summer the temperature
should not DO below So or above 90 de-
greos. Wash the butter in cold water
until all the white particles disappear.

Scotia Fruit Growers association, by

salt is disso'vc in two gallons of water.
A single application is made about Juno

Very Novel Advertising.

A. Glover, the window trimmer at the
Excelsior, has fitted up the large show
window in o novel manner. In the cen
tire of the window he has erected small
frame house OF rather an odd and ancient
lesign. At either end of the queer lit
lie house real old-fashioncd rail fence
incloses small forest. This strange
looking building and It's surroundings
are said to be fac simile representations
of the first schooihouse ever built in
Cleveland. In 1877, when orr great
city was only villa. e Of $50 inhabi-
tants, % of its citizens contributed to-
ward the building CT schoolhousc, the
amount altogether being S19S.70. This
little building stood on the east side of
the lot now occupied by the Kennard i'll
a grove of oaks. The idea of exhibiting
the old-tim mode Of teaching school,
with teacher and some 20 scholars, is
certainly unique, and will draw the at
tcntion of great many people who pass
along Superior street. The little school
opens to-day at s. o'clock, and the boys
and girls will use the big show window
as playground. A "schoolmarm" has
been engaged by the trustees to manage
the affair, and it is presumed she will
"board around" among the farmers and
parents of the scholars. The window
Should be seen. In the background is
q large canvas painting showing a
country road with rail fence. This
road is now ST. Clair street.-Ctereldnd

Use for Refuse Straw.

The refuse straw AID chaif from the
grain and clover seed thrashiag and
hulling may be used with the greatest
benefit upon the young wheat. A
soon as growth is checked by the cold
weather, it mag be mulched with this
waste of product, which is of no value
for feeding, or with any other similar
protection. which will be moro valua-
bic and useful than manure. Manure
covers the y Dung plants too closely, de-
privcs them OF air and light, and as
these arc unable to dispose of the sup
ply OF plant food furnished by the ma
rllrc, this i, wasted by the washing
rains. But the prevalent idea that the
volunt eer oats which are frequent
ly seen in the wheat folds, and which
como from the oat stubbles, arc pro-
lection to tho young wheat plants after
they are killed by the frost, is clearly a
dclusion, because as they grow more
vigorously than the young wheat, they
appropriate the food in the soil and stunt
the main crop. This dam,go is not re-
paired by tho protection afforded after
ward by the remains of the oats killed
by the frost, but it goes on increasing
in effect as tho wcako ned wheat suffers
more and more by the frosts and drying
winds OF the fall and winter, which kill
the weak plants and leave tho fields
bare. Il New York Times.

English Dog Carrying.

A correspondent writes that on at
tending services at Sherbournc church,
Worcestershire, Eag., recently he was
much astonishcd and indignant to sec a
lady enter and take her scat, with a
large shaggy terrier uadcr her arm. Ga
i ouiry he discovered that the lady was
titled dame ofthe ncighborhood and
that she p :rsist. d il bringing the dog
to church, in spite of the expressed OBJ
icctions OF the rector. The dog, my
informant adds, conducted himself de-
corously throughout tho service, which
shows, to my mind, that lie had let
ter sense of what was due to the place
than his mistress. Idarc sly, too, that
he gets as much benefit from the ser
vice. That, however, is beside the
QUESTION. 1t is obviously impossible
that every owner of q pet animal can
bc allowed to bring it to church with
him and rector is much to blame who
sanctions any distinction in this respect
b tween the titled and the u.tit.e
mem bers of his flock. -[London Truth.

But to use a bell rope as a lasso or q

restless at the delay, stepped out to
learn the cause OF it. H did not know
that the train was on a bridge and he
stepped into docp water. FIe could not

quickness of bought, cut away a Sec

The Quality of Milk.

"Thc richness aud good quality Of
milk do not depend wholly on the daily
breeds, but arc also largely Influenced
by the care given to the animals and
tho feed provided for them. If one
wants all the milk that can be got from
Il cow without any reference to its
quality, than juicy grass, green corn
fodder, brewers grains, turnips or other
roots that have largo proportion Of
water, warm mashcs and sloppy food In
general will produce it. A constant
moist diet will PROFESSIONALLY produce
more milk thaa dry one. Moistcning
hay and fodder with warm water, put
ting bran iato tho drinking water to
tempt tho COW to drink moro will also
havo the Same effect. II rich milk is
desired at least fair proportion Of sub
stantial food should DO givon out Of
which to make it. Good clover hay,
corn fodder. corn meal, a little oilcake
meal and a moderate supply OF roots,
along with bran mash, mako a good
winter diet for COW and will give
richacss to the milk. Cows should have
all the pure water shcy will drink, and
in winter it is -Wcll to warm it for
those giving milk. Sailing them regu-
Iarly should not be neglected, other
wise the butter viii be long in CON-
