SHALL WE BUILD UP?
That is the Question for Our People
to Answer.

We are soon to have a new and splendid
railroad. which will furnish abundent facill.
ties for doing large business.
We must now make the effort. or else that
great iron highway will be Of very little ad-
vantage 10 US. Merely raising the price OF
town lots will do no good.
The new depot will probably be kept by a
polite and accommodating agent, whose chief
business will be TO serve the patrons and Gus.
toners Of the road In q satisfactory manner.
A telegraph line will be built, and telegraph
Operators will likely be on hand, who will not
make themselves diSagreeable to customers OF
the line, and who will not act Us If they were
reluctantly comforting q favor by sending a
dispatch.
Taken all in all, this town is greatly to be
congratulated on the prospect OF having at
an early day satisfactory railroad and tele-
graphic service.
Patrons of the new railroad and telegraph
system will likely be treated with the ordina-
ry civility that Is common among business
men, for which long suffering and patient
community Will be ever grateful.
With these great advantages vouchsafed to
us, we should labor with renewed energy TO
build up our town. and increase our manu- fac
turing and commercial interests.

Wolves Annoy Canadian Farmers.

Canadian farmers, having been trou-
bled sorely for many years sby wolves and
coyotes, are taking determined steps
toward Kidding themselves of these pests.
The Canadian wolves are not particular
ly ferocious, but they ore sufficiently
bold to be constant menace to the
focks and herds. Dogs have been
utilized for the protection of the sheep
and cattle, but it remained for Sir John
Lister Kaye to import number of Be-.
gian, French and Scotch hounds for the
special purpose Of hunting and extermi-
mating the wolves. The experiment has
been attended with fair success, but it is
discovered that more cffectual service
would be done if the dogs were capable
of greater speed. With q view, there
fore, os insuring the desired fectness,
Mr.. Dan Gordon, of Ottawa, has bought
two of the fastest and best-bred grey
hounds in1>England, and he expects to
secure, by means Of judieious crossing Of
breeds, s. plendid dogs for wolf hunting
The wolf nuisance in Canada is more
serious that we suppose; in one day sew
enteen Of the beasts were killed b a
party of three men who secuted over the
| Cochrane ranch. To Russia, however,
must we go to find wolves Of singular
ferocity aud in large numbers. Seventy
thomsand were killed in the Vologda AMI
Casan districts last year. 1t IS officially
estimated that ITO, 900 are still running
it large in Russia, and they multiply ex-
! ceedingly fast Chicago N--es.

A Curious Old Watch.

| saw the other day a gold watch
which was made in 1860. 1t was an
odd looking watch compared with those
of the present day. It was made by the
famous matchmaker, Breguet, of Paris.
He has been dead for more than 100
years. 1t was worn by the grandfather
Of the present owner, who fought under
Napoleon and carried this watch through
the siege of Moscow and the terrible re-
treat that followed. 1t was an open
face, with keyhole in the face. It's
mechanism is exceedingly delicate and
complicated. 1t must have been very
valuable timepiece in its day, as l do
not remember having seen many which
repeat the hour, three-quarters hour,
half hour, quarter hour, and even min
ute.
We do not fully appreciate this feat
ure at the present day, but 13O years
ago, it must be remembered, watches
were not in free use--in fact, | believe
it was before the time when watches were
known. It must have received some
rough usage, passing through the Ma
poleonlc wars and other strange vicissi-
tudes before it reached America To
pass through all these adventures aud
not become utterly useless must rebound
to the great fame Breguet enjoyed in
his time in Paris. In the last six months,
however, it has shown a feebleness and
unreliability which it was natural to ex-
pect years ago.
The watch since then has made the
rounds Of nearly every jewelry shop in
| Chicago. It's condition, however, on
each successive return to the owner, a
| clerk in the Palmer House, gave evil
dence that its days for accu,a ately regis
tering time were past. | saw it at
Wathier's, who felt much pleased that
| he had been able to repair this compli-
Gated piece Of mechanism, over a century
old, so we'll and regulate it SO nicely that
it does not vary more than ten seconds
in month. l wondered whether that
watch kept as good time IN Breguet 5

Trains Blocked by Caterpillars.

A plague OF caterpillars similar to that
which afflicted Northern Maine soma
years ago, has been added to the other
drawbacks Of a remarkable season down
East. On the New Brunswick Railway
the pests have congregated in such great
numbers upon the rails tha, trains have
been blocked for hours. and on the Ban
gor and Plsca'aquis it has been found
necessary to sweep and sand the tracks
before trains could proceed. A rainy day
drives the caterpillars into the woods.
but the next warm day brings them all
out again. and the situation Is becoming
serious on the railroads Forest trees in
many sections are being ,.ripped OF thei,
foliage, large and handsome grove in
the suburbs OF Bangor being alread,
completely deuuded, the trees appearing
as though dead. Many orchards have
been ruined -Ne,e Te-s Sga.

horses, encountered one of these preda-

How THE BARN WAS BURNED.-A cores
pondence of the SPIRIT of the Valley, who
was near at the time, tells how s'Mr. Sam
uel Turner, living about mile west of the
village of Spring Creek, lost his barn with
its entire contents by fire. 1t caught from
lantern which his son about eleven years
old had while feeding in the barn. He was
mp in the NOV, throwing down fodder. As
he was coming down he stepped on bun
die of fodder, which rolled, throwing the
boy and lantern into the fodder below, thus
setting it on fire. The writer was passing
within hundred feet of the barn when the
boy cried fire, and before we could get to
the barn it had already reached the mows.
We were too late to put it out, SO all we
could do was to save the stock, which was
done with the exception of two colts, one Of
which was entirely burned, the other so
badly burned that it will probably die. Mr..
Turner loees all bis hay, fodder and straw,
having just finished hauling in his hay the
day before. He had in his barn at the time
of the fire about four hundred bushels of
wheat and some oats. The barn was new.
This loss falls heavily on Mr.. Turner. but
his neighbors are subscribing literally to-
wards rebuilding"
