The men who think have enemies.
The men who act have enemies.
The men who put their impression
on an idea have enemies. No man
is prominent among his neighbors,
but he finds plenty of enemies. The
man who leads no matter who or
what, has enemies. Enemies are
more necessary to develop a mans
capabilities than friends. No man
can tell what he can do until he
meets resistance, and that resistance
comes not from friends. 1t takes
the storm to make the oak stout and
strong, and it takes the sting and
backbitins of enemies to make man
of grit and nerve and force.

ADVICE To Young MEN.-Be ready
to throw in an odd half hour OF
hours time, when it will be an &c.
comodation, and don't make merit
of it. Do it heartily. Though not
word be said, be sure your EN-
ployer will make u note of it.
Make yourself indispensable to him,
and he will lose many of the oppo
site kind before he will part with
you. These young men who watch
the time to see the very second
their working hour is up, who leave,
no matter what state the work be
IN, at precisely the instant-who
calculate the extra amount they can
slight their work and yet not get
reproved-who are lavish of their
employers goodwill always be
the first to receive notice, when
times are dull, that their services
are no logger required.
Remember, you are not slave.
Then serve your employer as u
friend; in due time he will be true
friend to you.

CLUB HoUsE.--The REGISTER is
pleased to learn that move is on
foot to.organize social club in this
city, but as the matter is only
in embryo at present, little of inter
est TO the general public can be
given just at this writing. Our re-
porter has learned enough, however,
to warrant the statement that the
organization viii certainly be
perfected. Judge Guthrie who was
here in brief respite from his official
duties, few days since, not only
expressed himself warmly in favor
of the project, but stated that his
purse was also open to further its
interests, and with his extensive
acquaintance in the immediate vi
cinity, was free to say that $4,000,
or if need be $4,000 could be quick
ly raised to erect suitable building.
Messrs. JAS Tippett, Judge Simp-
son, Hiram Howard, W. r. Tippett,
Q. i. Hess, and others whose names
do not recur at present. are under
stood to be enthusiastically inter
estcd in this move also, and it may
now be considered as a question of
time only when strangers who visit
here, from lone and abroad, seek
ing investments, or to indulge in
social intercourse, can be entertained
in manneri in keeping with the gen.
erous and hospitable characteristics
West peculiar to yirginians.

TIE fo:ces of nature were utilized
in n remarkable manner at the West
Hartford, Coma, reservoirs, and good
deal of mouey was saved to the city
thereby. The new reservoir, No. 3,
was drawn down last summer in order
to be cleaned out. The job had not
been finished when cold weather came
on, about one third of the bottom still
being untouched The water was shut
out. but small quantity of rain and
melted snow soon covered the bottom
with several inches of water This
froze solid over the muck which cover
ed the unclesned portion of the reser-
voir bed. Later on the gate was
opened and the reservoir allowed to
fill with water. As the water rose the
layer of ice on the bottom 1850 also,
bringing with it the mass OF muck on
which it lay and to which it was firmly
attached. This operation was per-
formed gradually, and the ice kept
growing thicker At length the water
lose to its foil height, and then the ice
with its burden of muck was hauled
ashore, where il now lies The bottom
of the ro oservoir was perfectly c'eaued,
; and the work thus easily done would
have kept large gang Of men q. work
for considerable period.
