Two small coIored boys, Lee Twi-
man and Alex. Black burn, went on a
lark last week which has involved
them in serious trouble. They took
the horse and buggy of Mr.. Oscar
Blackford from a hitching post on
Main street and drove to Shepherds
town, where they tried to sell the
buggy. They were arrested there
for some cause, but were afterwards
released, and took the horse to Kear-
neysville, where they stole DIR. Bor-
der's buggy from the shop of Mr..
Rodgers, and hitching Mr.. Black
ford's horse to it, drove over to Sum
nit Point. Here they offered the
horse and buggy to a colored man
for twenty-five dollars, and he said
he would come to town with them and
get the money. In the meantime
the authorities had gotten track of
them, and Sergeant Young met them
some distance ont of town, armed
with a warrent for their arrest. They
were accordingly taken before JUS
tice Gallaher and committed for the
action of the next grand jury.

Mills to the Farmers Alliance.

Representative nills has answered the
letter of the Farmers Alliance of Alilwan
County, Texas, asking him to favor the
establishment of sub.treasuries. His an
swer is published in the National Democrat
and contains three columns.
He says when the government begins
to take charge of cotton, wheat, corn, oats
and tobacco it will 60 on, and in time
bacon, pork, beef, butter, cheese, lard, hay
and all other farm products will demand
that government take their surplus and
advance them so per cent. on it.
He adds hat the only way in which the
farmer can be helped is by the success Of
the tariff reform for which Cleveland
fought and fell. Regretfully he declines
to support the Alliance proposition.
In closing he says, ~ am too old to
change my convictions. I am a Demo.
crst because believe that the great sum
of the woes which humanity suffers
comes from disregard of Democratic
principles. I can afford to retire to pri
vate life, but cannot afford to share the
guilt Of participating in that which vii

A Natural Bridge In Arizona.

Natural bridge, on Pine Greek, in the
Northern part Of Gila County, is one OF
the greatest natural curiosities in the
United States, equaling, if not SURPRISING, 6,
the natural bridge of Virginia. It spans
the creek at height of about 200 feet,
and the walls of the canyon rise above it
on either side 700 or 500 feet, and on one
side form perpendicular precipice. The
bridge is of lime formation, and the in. :
side Of the great arch, which is some 25O
feet across, is worn by the water as smooth
as though chiseled by the skillful hands
of stonemason. The arch on top is
nearly, if not quite, 400 feet in width,
1000 feet in length across the canyon,
and at the thinnest part only six feet
through. About the center of the arch
is hole large enough to admit the body
of a man, and through which one can
look down into the crystal pool Of water

next day. But I've never missed it-no,
I've never missed it. George I. Seney
gave 100000 to Emory College, and
shortly after that he failed, and | thought
he had been over liberal with his money,
but he went to work and paid bis debts
and is now richer than ever. "There is
that that scattereth aud yet increaseth." !"
But man should give willingly and with
good intent. His charity must not be
twisted out of him. The way Sam. Jones
gets some of them is like a rabbit in a
hollow tree. You get long hickory, and
split the end, and run it up the hollow,
and feel of him, and twist a little, and for
a good while you get nothing but hair,
but by and by the stick gets fastened in
his skin, and you pull him down as he
squeala. Brer Rabbit would be better of
if he had sense enough to come down
without the twisting. But a good many
folks are built that way.

There is more Catarrh in this section
of the country than all other diseases put
together, and until the last few years was
supposed to be incurable. For great
many years doctors pronounced ita local
disease, and prescribed local remedies,
and by constantly failing to cure with To-
cal treatment, pronounced it incurable.
Science has proven catarrh to be o con-
stitutional disease, and therefore requires
constitutional treatment. Hall's Catarrh
Cure, manufactured by F. j. Cheney &
Co., Toledo, Ohio, is the only constitu-
tional cure on the market. 1t is taken
internally in doses from 10 drops to a
teaspoonful. It acts directly upon the
blood and mucous surfaces of the system.
They offer one hundred dollars for any
case it fails TO cure. Send for circulars
and testimonials. Address.

estimated that about SG00,000,00 was
invested in the electrical industries. The

There is no doubt that another year will

= Recently there has been decided
revival in Georgia gold mining. Several
new mines have been opened, and some
of the old ones have been taken up again
and are paying we'll. The amount of
gold from Georgia mines which had been
deposited at United States mints up to
June so, 1857, was $S,540, $50, but the
total amount that has been taken from
these mines is largely in excess of that.

| Burns neither manufactured nor raised

are thatsthe case will not hold.
