Obituary.

As we chronicle the sad aud untimcly
end Of the Everding Band. Of Snow Hill,
the tears flow copiously from our eyes,
which can scarcely be checked by the hand
kerchief Alas! Il is no more.
This Band was about nine years old,
and possessed a sprightiy and lively dis.
position until the last two or three years
Of ITS existence. II has done wonderful
work 70. the Missionary cause. helping to
support the young lady for whom II was
named Never more forcibly was illus.
tratcd the truth Of the maxim death
Loves Shining Mark" than by the death
Of this Band. There was still greater
prospect before II. A great future had
not yet dawned upon II, yet, if not in
sight. was surely coming.
The Band fought hard for long time,
but finally had TO succumb to death on nc.
count of the want Of energy ON the part
of is members But there were faithful
few and as Mark Twain still continues
TO weep over the tomb Of Adam, who.
scarce 5000 short Summers ago, passed
through the vale oftears, let us hope that
long afier we have passed from this "stage
Of fools" and are forgotten, we will find
a few faithful ones mourning over the
grave Of the Everding Band. We extend
to our brother and sister members our
sincere sympathy in ihis-,heir hour Of
bereavement. MEMBER.

a Method OF Figuring Out When
Frost MAY be Expected.

The approach Of fall frosts gives timely
value to an announcement by the New
York State Weather Service of method
of making computations to determine
whether or not frost may be expected any
night: Find the difference in degrees.
between the readings OF the dry and wet
thermometers; multiply this diiiereecc by
two and onc.half, and subtract the result.
ing product from the reading of the dry
bulb" This will give the number OF de.
grees to which the temperature may be
expected to fall. This rule gives fair re.
suits if the observations are taken about
the time Of sunset and the temperature Of
the air is fifty degrees or less. II the sky
is clear and the wind is calm the probabil-
tiles of frost are great, hut If the wind
should rise and the sky become cloudy
the temperature may remain quite high.

noticed In earnest gcs,iculation. Directly
they clinched. when the crowd looked on
with wondermcnt. One by one the par.
iisans Of each took part, until over 300
men were actively in the fight. Fence
rails were favorlte articles of warfare,
hut many had knives. razors and pistols
The flashing Of the cold steel, the loud
reports Of the pistols aud the swinging
Of clubs and fence rails rendered the scene

had tried To- make u. The elderly men,
bcrs sought safety In flight. There was
no one seriously hurt. though there were

could be given by them; they said: II had
better have my affairs for this life and the
next arranged, for the cancer was liable
to strike vital organ nj any moment. and
at once bleed me to death. About this
time 1886. met with Mr.. Shirley living
near Due West, whose cancer was being
rapidly cured by using Swift's Specific Is.

using the third bottle, l discovered that
the scab had fallen of, and that those

the cancer. had ceased and the discharge
was very profuse. 10 n few days II began
to heal rapidly and soon dried up. BY the
time had exhausted the fiith bottle there
was nothing left but the scar where the
cancer had been, and was well man.
