Very Rare Gold Piece.

Major Hamilton, of shamokin. Pa, is
the possessor of a very rare coin, and one
that is worth at this time $1,000. 1t was
minted in California ia so, just four years
after the gold fever of 1919. A mint was
established in San Francisco at that time,
and four of the coins were struck off and
forwarded to Washington as proofs. The
Government did not approve them,
and there were no more made.
The Major secured it in a very funny
way. Almost ten years 2 he presented
a check at the Sellnsgrove bank, and asked
to have it cashed in gold, if possible. This
coin was among the money given him.

The Sunbeam states that considerable
difficulty is being experienced in providing
entertainment for the members Of the NJ.
i. Conference, which body will meet in
Salem next week. If many Of the preach
ers are as particular as enc we have heard
of we don't wonder at it. The story as
told Us concerning this dominic wbo, it is
thought, was one who was at one
time stationed at Woodstown, was
that he sent word to the committee
on entertainment that he wished ae-
commodations at a house where he could
have a fire in his sleeping room, and broil-
ed beefsteak for breakfast every day.

To our Subscribers.

The above inuocent-looking little con-
pom means a good deal. Most of our read
ers, probably, are familiar with the name
of John b. Alden, Publisher, New York,
who has done so much in popularizing and
cheapening high-elass literature. His
edition Of Robert Elsmere, above describ-
ed, one Of the most famous books of the
century, lisa remarkable specimen ofhis en-
terprise. A copy Ct the book, to be seen
at this Office, printed in large type, on
good paper, well and nicely bonnd IN
cloth, shows ii 10 be fairly equal to books
our readers in years past have been accus-
toned TO pay S1.00, Sf.50, or even $500
for, his regular price being 80 cents. In
consideration of our placing Mr.. Alden's
enterprise thus prominently before our
readers, and commencing it, as We can do
most heartily, he has consented to allow
us to make the above very remarkable cou-
pom offer to subscribers. Please notice
carefully the simple and reasonable eendi-
tons:

3d-2j cents cash with The coupe and =

The first condition is cur requirement.

TO subscribe by showing him this notice 2
To favor our subscribers as much as prac-
ticahle we have arranged with Dir. Alden
(and this is where the Importance Of the
date comes in) that il subscribers SO re-
! quest ali books shall be shipped together
in our care, and We will deliver them at
our office; the cost of freight will be net
over 3 cents a copy, instead Of IL cents

Lower week Luiiabfes.

The ladies of the Missionary Societies
of the Salem Presbyterian church are busy
at present with the preparations for a fair
and festival, to be held Saturday, March .,
in an unoccupied house on the corner of
Market and Griffith streets.
The meetings which promised SO little
results in the early winter at the Penns-
vile Methodist church have been continu-
ed until the work Of grace has brought q
goodly number to repentance and a union
with the church on probation. On Sun
day, February 3, thirteen were united to
the church on probation, and the ordinance
of baptism administered to them. On Sun
day evening last three Others were also
united on probation, and next Sabbath
morning baptism will be administered to
them, after which the Lords Supper will
be observed.
1t seems to us that it would be
we'll for the Lower Neck correspondent Of
the Salem Standard to revise his prophecy
concerning this years appointment Of the
present pastor of the Pennsyille church.
He predicted he would not return to his
present church. That prog nos-ti-ea-ti-on
was made some time back. Our vision
cannot pierce the future and unfold its
secrets like his. yet we predict his predic.
ton will prove false.
The widow of S. Stratton Mitchell will
with her family remove to Chester as
soon as the steamboats, begin running
again.
Many OF those who engage in the shad
fishing business in the Delaware river are
busily employed in the preparation OF their
nets for the work. Considerable OF the
year is employed by those who engage in
this industry, which occupies only about
two and a half months in work on the
river, in getting ready, for 4 net lasts only
one season at best.
The big mad dog scare that prevailed to
almost a painful extent for the last three
or four weeks, has, we are happy to an
nounce, mostly subsidized. The only bless
ing as a result Of this fright SO far as we
can see is that quite a number Of worthless
ours have been offered to atone for the sin
of one poor lost dog. having the courage to
take its own part when set upon by the
dogs of the neighborhood. 5.

Creameries BENEFIT Farmers.

There is no question whatever about tue
benefits to be derived from a well-conduct-
ed creamery, not only to the farmers, but
to everyone within the limits of operations.
1t gives the farmer a cash market for his
cream, and enables him to pay cash for his
supplies. 1t gives him an induccment to
better his stock, and to employ better and
more profitable methods of caring for them,
in addition to many other benefits.
