"KEEP YOUR EYES OPEN !"-How many wonderful things are unnoticed on account of their commonnessl It has indeed been truth fully said 'sTo look is much less easy than to overlook, and to be able to see what we do see is great gift" Many people might as we'll be blindfolded so far as is concerned their seeing many of the wonderful things of the world. Seeing is pleasure and seeing aright multiplies that pleasure. This is es- pecially applicable in natures domain. Says Emerson: ''He who knows what sweets and virtues are in the ground, the water, the plants, the heavens, and how to come at these entertainments, is the rich and royal man. To the attentive eye, each moment of the year has it's own beauty, and in the same field it beholds every hour picture that was never seen before and shall never be seen again." Everyone one who appreciates this beauty, and loves nature studies, everyone who has microscope, collects plants and flowers, notices the birds, insects, etc., should send fifty cents for 8 years subscription to The Observer,-E. F. Bigelow, publisher, Portland, Ct. The journal is devoted to nat ural history, popular science and interesting miscellaneous selections, illustrated articles, stories, poems, etc.

WM. ERNIE of Springfield, who died on Monday of heart disease, was we'll known to many Stafford people, being president of the Stafford Springs Aqueduct Company, and member of the firm of Goodhue & Birnie, contractors, who have. built the water works of nearly hundred towns and cities in,New England and the west. He was a native of Scotland, and in every sense self-made man, as was his partner, MT. Goodhue. The Springfield Republican says:
 This death removes one more of the sub- stantial citizens of Springfield, and another face of the many that appear in that remarka- ble picture issued when the great soldiers fair was held in December, 1864. passes out of the local life. William Birnie was good neighbor, citizen of public spirit, whose fondness for Springfield grew with his years, and in business life he was man of enter prise who engineered large undertakings with I foresight and skill. He was able sto temper the push necessary to success with conserva- tism that usually commanded safe results. | His sturdy Scotch ancestry was apparent in l his strorg and handsome personality, no less than in those traits of character which made him an influential factor in the life of the community. His fondness for agricultural | pursuits afforded him relief from business cares, but he was student of farming, and not merely gentleman farmer" In move ments touching the public welfare MT. Birnie was usually quick to respond, and his interest in seeing that city affairs were well adminis- tered was quick and responsive. His attitude in this respect was we'll illustrated when there was a call for MT. Goodhue's services on the water board. He urged his partner to accept this opportunity for public service, though it involved somewhat less attention to the affairs of the firm. The departure of such a man will be felt as loss throughout I the city.

Because of a Reduction.
JoHNsTowN, September 24-The Office in
which the clerks for the Flood Commission
work was closed to-day, and the doors were
bolted. This was not because they have COM
pleted their work, but all on account of little
disagreement between Secretary Kremer and
the clerks. 1t seems for the past two months
or more the clerks in the Office have been get
ting SS day, but when Kremer came to pay
them to-day he only allowed them at the rate
Of 81 day. They demanded the usual wages,
but Kremer was firm and would not pay more
than 81. when the clerks quit in a body. This
turn in affairs is very annoying Just now as it
was expected that the work in this office would
have been completed this week, but by the
time new set of clerks are engaged and be-
come familiar with the work great deal of
time will be lost.
The Committee of Fifteen OF the Board of
Trade held meeting to-day and discussed the
situation relating to permanent improvements
Consolidation of all the boroughs was strongly
urged as being the most effective,means of unit
ing all the interest of the place looking toward
that end. A commission was appointed to re-
quest the State Flood Commission to state the
probable amount of money in its hands after
the Sl6O,OOO is distributed and asking the COM
mlslon to turn over the unexpended balance in
It's hands to the local committee here A call
was issued for a mass meeting of citizens

opinion of the people as TO the adVisability of
applying this money to building bridges and
