Engine and Boiler for Sale.

The two horse engine and boiler
in use in the New DOMINION office
is Altered for sale at very low figure
1t includes a Hancock inspirator-
which alone cost $25-steam guage,
steam and water pipes, safety valve
etc. The engine is an old one but
does good work and will last for
years. The business of the New Do
MINIoN has outgrown it's present ia
cilities and we will be compelled to
put in heavier and faster presses and
a stronger engine. The engine may
be seen at work in this office every
day and frequently at night. 1t is
very suitable for country printing
office that will only require the pow
er it affords. Any one who needs
such an engine can have this one
for a mere song. 1t will be neces.
sary to accept our offer at once as
we are already having a new one
built. Write or call and seeit.

Settling the Social Status of Livery
Stable.

Our enterprising and indomitable
fellow citizen, Cell. Carraco, has been
hunting the town over for place to
set his new livery stable.
There is good deal of vacant ter
ritory in the town, but no lot big
enough and nice enough for a livery
stable. Cell. wanted to go down in
his pocket and pay Chicago prices
for an aristocratic location, where
he might have respectable neighbors
and no offensive surroundings. But
when he came to look closely into
these several locations he either
found that the neighbors were not
as clean and decent in their habits
and surroundings as they might be,
or they were not sufficiently high
toned and correct in their morals to
maintain the reputation of first
class livery stable.
Then he appealed to the town
council to indicate any possible spot
within this ancient and ambitious
town where he might erect an hostry
that would not be contaminated by
its surroundings, or suffer in it's bus
ness by its associations. That au-
gust tribunal thereupon proceeded
to review the situation, and to point
out successfully, but unsuccessfully,
the various corner lots and choice
sites within the borough limits, ar
irving, at last, to the conclusion that
except by the removal of church
or bank there did not seem to be
any suitable place for the establish
ment of the aforesaid hostry.
However, our famous liveryman
was not to be knocked out by any
such circumstance as this. He is
not made of that kind of stuff. You
may burn him out, but he will turn
up like singed cat. You may
freeze him out, or starve him out, or
law him out, but he will bob up Sc
renely every time.
And we will wager big plum
that he will have good stable and
make it go. Cell. deserves the pat
ronage of our people and he will get
it. His losses and misfortunes have
been very great, and he has the sym
pathy of everybody; but he will sue
coed even if he didn't get a corner
lot.

A Lot of Gas Pipe Here.

On New Years day the first car
load of gas pipe for the new gas works
arrived-a very suspicious New Year
for Morgantown. We learn that suf-
ficient pipe to complete the work is
now on the road and may arrive any
day. This indicates that in a few
weeks OF months at furthest, Nor
gantown will have gas for both heat
ing and lighting purposes.
