Delicate Fruit and Tobacco Smoke.

Tobacco smoke quickly contaminates
delicate fruits of all kinds. a few puffs
blown upon q box Of raspberries will en-
tirely destroy the delicate favor of the
fruit and render it UNBEATABLE The same
may in degree be said Of strawberries.
This is something which but few growers
and shippers have ever considered. and too
much care cannot be taken to prevent the
use of tobacco where these fruits are being
handled. Cab ornsG Fruit Groaoer.

this sacred enactment must bring with
it its own dire results. People, for n
time. may escape the consequences.
But where public sentiment is as a
strong for the right as it is in our midst.
the necessary consequences must fol-
low, although at times they are delayed
until we despair of the power of right.
Without wishing ill-fortune for any
body, we still feel satisfied with the re-
suit, and hope that it may serve a
righteous lesson to others. We also
think that our village has shown that
it stands III the foremost rank for the
right, and that it should serve in its
small way lesson to multitude of
larger places where beer licenses are
serving a much stronger purpose. This
transgression OF the laws of the state
is a crying wrong and disgrace to
the community in which it occurs. 1t
should unite against it the whole force
of honest citizens. 1t has become too
strong an infant to cry for sympathy.

A SISTER VILLAGE.

We owe it due justice to our sister
village, Brown City. to extend to her
a hearty congratulaJion for the success
with which she is beginning the New
Year. Her energetic townsp people
have long been working for this.
though without evident outcome until
now. But this coveted day has come
Her substantial success and progress
is assured She is happy.
But Yale should not feel piqued at
her advancement We should rather
rejoice. \ neighboring village is max
ing rich developments; but it will not
detract from our substantial progress.
Yale's position. as the leader in this
section, seems impregnable. We are
bound to grow and mature even to a
greater extent. Brown City Will hard
ly be a competition. The distance
from us insures that. And if she will
not harm us, her progress will help us.
Our JOY at her prosperity may there
fore be reasonable. Brown~Clty may
look to be, at some time, the leading
place in Saniac county. But, we con-
fidently trust, that soon Yale will be u
city of cardinal importance in st. Clair
county. Allow us, moreover, another
year of such progress as we have made
in the past and we will be very near 1t.
One or two more industries still are
really needed TO boom us; but these
places we seem soon to be able to fill.
If w. IL. Harris, of Brockway, but
moves his carriage factory here, it will
count as one and be most thoroughly
welcomed We can offer every induce
ment mentionable, and also promise
to have a fre-department next spring
which will be a considerable protection
to whatever building he might wish tc
put up. Altogether our village is hap
by and prosperous and cOngratulateS q
neighboring village on its glowing fu'
tire. and hopes it may also share in
the good things of progress.

GREETINGS OF CHRISTMAS.

For the ninth time the Exposition
has the privilege of wishing its patrons
"a Merry Christmas What fund
of enjoyment is suggested by that
familiar phrase of conventionality
This buG-bear, conventionalty, to be
sure. has robbed the words of much of
their true significance. One seldom
realizes what the words really mean.
the whole of the truth that lies within
them. y Merry Christmas. Not nee
essarily great abundance of pres
ents"; but merry" joyous, contented,
spirit, which mly be truly happy. In
this alone lies any true happiness.
1t is this hearty wish the EXPOsITOR
now has for all its friends. Not as 4
piece OF formalty is it to be received.
but as the earnest desire of Il thankful
publisher by the hearty support of
the public the EXPOSITOR has been
making grand progress on every hand.
1t is in return for this that we feel it
our bounden duty to give public ex-
preston to our gratitude. And thus
us just obligation we would have it
received and applied individually by
every one Of our patrons.
The ExPOSIToR has ever aimed at
the best interests Of the people whom
it represents. Still rs an expression of
public opinion it must necessarily
confne itself to one set of opinions to
be consistent. 1t may therefore have
caused offence aJ some time. If SO it has
not been through any spirit of fault
finding. 1t has always been because
we have deemed the cause of right,
i'll our own judgment, to demand it,
But now it is Christmas-tlde and
every body is merry. When every one
is thus happy it is good time to ask
and grant forgiveness; and TO make
amends for all past offences. 1t will
be good posting of books" on the
past year. and will prepare It's for Il
New Year next week. Without re-
serve we thus plainly venture to place
ourselves at the mercy of Il forOearing
public. 1t is but right. 1t is but what
we expect of those who have offended
us. For It's merry Christmas: and the
echo OF Good will to men" has never
yet ceased to reverberate. 1t is well it
is so. However disjointed may oe our
ordinary pursuits. at this one time we
have a common cause, common
ground of agreement. We all tramp

when we think OF death, but of life,

He SAYS the Road Will be Built.

Mr.. David l.. Bartlett of Baltimore, one Of
the incorporators of the Washington and Cum
berland Railroad Company, was interviewed by
the Baltimore Sun yesterday as to the action to
be taken by the incorporators Of the Washing
ton and Cumberland railroad in view OF the de-
cision of Judge Cox Of the District of Column
bia court coinciding with Judge Alvey and
giving control of the Chesapeake and Ohio
canal to the bondholders of 1874 under specific
conditions.
Mr.. Bartlett said that 10 per cent Of the
capital stock Of the company had been paid in
to enable the company to close the subscription
books, but beyond that no move had been
made. The board of directors" he con-
tinued, shave not been elected. To great
extent the future policy of the road will be en-
trusted to their care. OF course we expected
TO get the canal after securing permission from
the state to buy, but never anticipated all
the legal complications that have since risen,
nor could we foresee them. / think the bond
holders OF "A are not showing much wisdom in
their attempt to repair the canal But they
may see their way clearer than is apparent on
the surface to a casual observer 1t is safe to
say however, that there is too much capital be-
hind the Washington and Cumberland, and
the future of the proposed line is too promis-
ing to allow it to rest on account of the pres
ent failure to secure the canal cannot say
positively what will be done. but assume that
the Washington and Cumberland road will be
built"

Coffee Can Case Dismissed

Clifford Humphrey and William J. Garner

to who was entitled to the first can of coffee to
serve to the patients. Garner procured a war;
rant for the arrest Of Humphrey alleging
threats and assault. The case was called in

Raley and Francis Gotten were called as W.T.
ncsses. The latter said that he threatened to
report the defendant, whereupon he (Pum-
phrey) said that if he did SO and it resulted in
