THE BOARD Is WILLING.

As will be seen from a communication printed elsewhere, the board of trade has acted promptly in accordance with our suggestion of yesterday and taken in hand the matter of receiving and for warding subscriptions for the relief of the sufferers by the awful disaster in the Conemaugh valley. We need not add to the stirring appeal of the board, for the sentiments so we'll expressed there are the best possible endorsement of the object suggested in the appeal. We hope the citizens of Waterbury, without regard to the amount which their means will allow them to contribute, will give to the fund being raised by the board of trade, and so give substantial token that Waterbury is not behind her sister cities of the state in extending relief to the afflicted.

Erastus Corning and Webster.

The following story of Daniel Webster, illustrative of his winning personal traits, told by a leading local lawyer, is given in the Albany Journal. Years ago the late Erastus Corning. of Albany, as comparatively young man, made MT. Web- ster's acquaintance somewhat intimately. As result of the friendship it turned out that tho former indorsed MT. Websters bank note for considerable sum. When the note fell due protests came to the firm and they paid the note. Knowing Mir. Websters impecuniosity and not wishing to crowd him, they did not call upon him for security.
 After some years, and when it was SUD- posed that MT. Webster's financial condi- tion was much improved, MT. Corning, at the instance of the firm, wrote, asking MT. Webster if he could make it convent ent to pay the claim. The answer was a courteous note from MT. Webster making excuses that just at present he could not meet the demand, and ending up by pressing invitation for MT. Corning to visit him later, when he would probably be able to pay, or at least to secure the claim satisfactorily. The firm advised MT. Corning to accept the invitation, which he did. On his return Mr Corning came home delighted with the pleasures of his visit, and entertained his partners with glowing accounts of the great states mans Inequalities and descscriptions of the charming incidents of the sojourn, in which he ignored the business object which partly impelled the visit.
 Finally, after he had exhausted descrip- tion of the visit one of MT. Corning's friends said: "Well, suppose MT. Web ster was pleased because he could pay the note7" "Pleased to pay the note," said MT. Corning; 'he not only didn't pay the note, but he so charmed me that he got me to sign another note for S, 900, and am thankful that he didn't ask me to make it S10,OOO, for.I don't think I could have resisted his request" Mir. Corning is said to have had subsequent invitation to visit Marshf1eld and to have declined on the ground that he could uu: afford so expensive pleasure.

THE more we hear of the ready alac- rity with which the American people are coming to the relief of the Pennsyl- vania sufferers the higher our ideal of the noble nature of the people. Amer jeans may be money changers as they are charged with being, but when there is a need for iberality they are always at the front. It is disasters like that in the Conemaugh valley that serve to show the brightest and best side of the Amer ican character. There is no people on the face of the earth so ready and will ing to respond to the cry of distress whenever its wall is heard.

LIQUOR IN GROCERIES.

The senate did well yesterday to re- iect the bill prohibiting the maintenance of barrooms in grocery stores. There are no arguments that could be made for the bill aside from those that apply to the entire suppression of the liquor traffic, and so long as the people of the state refuse to prohibit the sale of liquor there is no reason for compelling its sell CTS to confine their energies to it alone. If persons who are engaged in the sale of groceries, either in a large or small way, desire to add liquor to their stock in trade, there is no special reason that we know of why they should be deprived of the privilege of doing so. We know that many families, and some of them in the very first circles of society, in this and other cities of the state always se- cure the liquors which they keep in their houses from their grocers. Why they should be deprived of the privilege of doing this because some fanatic who affects to see the cloven hoof in every drop of liquor deSlTeS to identity HIS naHne "1IH CIaHh legislation is more than we can under stand. Perhaps, if the truth were known, the very men who are hammering away so industriously at Hartford against the liquor business in every form are the very best customers of some of the high toned groceries that sell liquor in their vicinity.
 It would be we'll if more of the crank legislation directed against the liquor business were to meet the fate of this grocery bill. The best friends of temper ance would be better pleased if it did.

SOME THINGS WE HAVE DONE.

We ask the forbearance of our readers moment while we briefly recall a few of the things the DEMOCRAT has been influential in bringing about within the past few months.
 We began a crusade against policy playing a few months ago. Result An ordinance has been passed prohibiting the game, and we shall soon see this cancer removed from our community.
 We called for seats on the green and urged the city fathers to do a kindly act by ordering supply of easy, comfort able benches whereon people might en- joy the beauties of the park and breathe in the life-giving air that circulates beneath its umbrageous trees. Result :: Seats have been ordered, and soon our people will be enjoying the full beauties and usefulness of the green.
 Last week we urged that locomotive whistling be stopped within the limits of the city, especially at night, as a nuisance and unnecessary disturbance of the peaceful slumbers of our people,
 
 be asked, by vote of the court of com mon council, to prohibit the footing of locomotive whistles in the city.
 The DEMOCRAT was among the first to urge on Governor Bulkeley his duty to veto the Swift communication bill. Likewise the oleomargarine bill. Result: Both vetoes were promptly forthcom- ing.
 The DEMOCRAT was the first paper in the state, and the only one to do it with force, to urge that the bill allowing women to vote on the license question be recalled and rejected. Result The bill was reconsidered and rejected yes- terday by the house.
 The DEMOCRAT was first to call atten- tion to the injustice and impropriety of the bill allowing but one saloon for every five hundred inhabitants In this we were feebly supported by other journals which feared to antagonize certain ele- ments by outspoken opposition to the measure. Result: The measure was killed in the legislature.
 With this record, and it is only par tial one, the DEMOCRAT may be pardon ed for claiming that it has some inf1u- 7 fence both locally and statewise. Moral Subscribe for the DEMOCRAT and so have a journal that has some extensive inf1u- ence ill local and state affairs.

Queer Sculpture and Painting om tho
 Rocks in Virginia.
 The erection of the now government dam in the river near Charleston, w. Na., has hidden from sight the famous pie tured rock" one of the familiar land marks of the Kanawka valley, and one which has occasioned much wonder and fruitleSs speculation. The rock was lO- cated near the mouth of Paint creek and, while the river was in it's natural condi- tion, was visible at low water every sum- mer. Some years ago part of>the stone was removed for building purpores, ;:n act of vandalism which should have been prevented at all. hazards, and now the re- mainder is submerged at all seasons of the year.
 When whole the surface of the 'pictur- ed rock" was about 20 by 30 feet in extent, and was covered with repre- sentations of animals. fish and fowls, carved deep in the smooth surface. On one side were the figures of 8 man and 8 bear, the latter being about life size. Near by was buffalo track, and short distance away was the representation of large fish and a number of footprints, evidently representing the imprint of a childs foot The work was evidently done by prehistoric people, as the tradi- tions of the valley are that the repre- sentations were on the stones when the lltSt Wlllto Uldu VlSACSu Cuo IeS1Ou, duO that they then bore unmistakable signs of great age, being water worn smooth.
 The vicinity of Paint creek is rich ia aboriginal and prehistoric relics.
 At Moorei1eld from the time of the first settlement, the cliff known as the Gap Books, in the Petersburg Gap, has borne the gigantic representation of common fox. The picture is upon the sheer and inaccessible face of the rock, some thirty feet from the top and nearly 100 from the bottom, and being colored a dingy yellow ill sharp contrast to the brown stone, has been visible for long distance Last Tuesday, the 9th inst, Glen McGill, of Ohio, who was visiting Cell Beans, near this place, went out to view the fox, ac- companied by MT. Beans. After an in- spection from the bottom of the cliff the two men ascended to the top and making rope fast to tree, McGill lowered him. self down to the fox. He describes it as being about twelve feet long, and painted or plastered upon the cliff with a sub- stance resembling earthenware glaze, which is as hard as the rock itself. The surface of the fox is quite rough, as though the stuff was roughly smeared on by hand before it hardened. There was d high wind blowing at the time McGill made his venture, and he ran consider able risk. He took along a mallet and cl.sel, intending to cut his name on the fox, but was prevented by the force of the wind, which swung him about at an alarming rate.-N. Y. Sun.

THE senate has kindly provided an opportunity for voters to ''wet their whistles" on election days and nights by passing bill allowing wholesale stores to keep open. Probably some of them, not having the proper wink at the drug without their regular allowance while the voters were saving the destinies of the nation. They have great heads, these senators, but consistency-well, that's a jewel that isn't treasured by that crowd.
