70 COME TO AMERICA.
The Finest Private Library In tho World
About TO To Sold.

About TO To Sold.
For some time past it has been ru-
morcd that the famous Althorp library,
which Dibdin called the finest private
collection in the world, was about to be
sold, ond now the announcement is
made upon authority, says the st.
James Gazette. It is hoped to sell it
en- bloc, but should that not be possible
it will be put up ut auction. Selling
the most famous of the worlds private
libraries in lump can mean only one
thing-sclling it to America. We trust
that may not happen, since Lord
Spencer's collection contains many vol
umcs which it is national pride to DOS
sess-such, for instance Us the famous
Valdarfar "Boccaccio," which Lord
Blnndford wrcsted from the second
Earl Spencer for e., 26O, to be ultimate
ly bought for Althorp for the bagutelle
of ESQ. It will be an epoch. making
sale, for this great library contains
some $4,000 volumes, mostly priceless.
Scarce editions ON vcllum and large
paper, magnificent printing, and daz-
cling bindings by Pasdcloup and Roger
Payne-thesc arc it's glorics. Many of
the books, too, have famous histories.
They have felt tho touch Of the Pompa-
dour or of Diane dc Poiticrs, or the Gle
CANT grasp of Francis 1. There nrc
eighty-two out of the nincty-ninc
known productions Of CaXton, to say
nothing of the famous Mcntz Psalter, d
copy Of which has fetched $4,000. To
sell the Althorp library, indeed, is al
! most as though VIC were to sell the
rarcst raritics of the printed book de-
partment of the British museum.

For Mince Pie.

Apropos of Thanksgiving it would not
be amiss to resurrect a good recipe OF
two for mince-meat. Here are two:
Use as basis fresh OK tongue, which
for two days is kept covered in equal
quantities of salt, brown sugar and pow
dered cloves; then it is boiled and minced
very fine; three pounds Of currants,
picked, washed and dried, go to the en-
tire tongue, with the grated rind Of five
lemons, and an ounce of bitter almonds
and pound of sweet almonds pounded,
four nutmegs, cloves and mace. To this
are added three pounds of beef suet,
chopped, six pounds of Sultana raisins
and six apples that have been pared and
cored. Non-abstainers add qnart of
Madeira and a pint of brandy to the
mixture.
Miss Jane Strickland has another way
for making mince-meat. She begins with
finely shred and chopped beef suet, an
equal quantity of cold roast beef; then
her currants and her raisins and apples
come in, and the whole sweetened with
moist Jamaica sugar, favored with the
peels of two lemons, and the usual spices.
This minced beef, when complete, Miss
Strickland places in tin dish lined with
puff or family pasts-whatever kind of
paste that may be; cut slices of candied
orange and citron peel are placed on the
meat, which is covered in with paste and
baked in quick oven.

A Modern Marvel.

When the Pittsburgh Times took pos
session of its splendid building last April
its publishers promised that The Times
would grow in excellence. The Times
had already won such proud position
among the newspapers of the country
that there was general curiosity to know
how that promise would be redeemed.
That curiosity has been most pleasantly
gratified. The Times has been so enlarged,
and so many new features have been
added, that it is everywhere cited as a
marvel of modern journalism. The chief
wonder is that newspaper so complete
in every respect can be sold for one cent
a day, or $500 a year, little more than
the cost of first class weekly paper. II
any of our readers are not familiar by
personal inspection with the merits o.
The Times, we advise them to send for ,
sample copy, which will be mailed fre'
to any address. If there 10 no agent TO

win Wait Until March.

A young couple at Pasco are anxious
to get married and journey together as
husband and wife. Both are under the
legal age to obtain a license in Ohio.
A couple of weeks ago they applied at
the Probate Judges Office at ST. Clairs-
vile for the necessary permit. hut were
informed that the consent of their pa
rents or guardians in writing would be
necessary before the license could be
issued. The young man easily obtained
the consent of his father and made the
second effort only to find that the con-
sent of the girls parents or guardian
was also necessary. Her parents art
both dead and she has no legal guardian,
30 it could not be obtained. They con
cluded to try West Virginia, and came
down to Wheeling and applied for the
documents there, only to find that the
laws of West Virginia were more exact
ing in that respect than those Of Ohio.
They returned to the young mans
home, where they both remain and will
wait until next March, when the girl will
arrive at the manageable age and try it
again.-Martin's Ferry Times.

Would Not Let Him Vote.

The vote of ayoung colored man named
Hull was refused by the Democratic
judges in precinct 3, of this township, on
Tues lay. His vote was challenged on
the ground that he was not of age. He
took the oath and testified that he was
over q years of age, and that not being
enough, his father also swore to the
same fact Still the Democratic mullet-
headed judges refused his vote, and his
mother was brought in and testified to
the same as the father and son. Even
then the testimony was not sufficient to
convince the pig heads, and in spite of
the protests of the Republican judges,
the young man was ruled out. Such pro-
ceedings are an outrage and should be
punished by an action for damages.

It now seems probable that the Ohio
Farmers Insurance Company will short

The officers and agents of that company
have been in session at Columbus delib-
Grating upon measures to relieve the
company of its present embarrassment
and every one was confident that the re-
guired assets would be secured within ten
days. An extra effort is being made to
collect all money outstanding, and with
good success. As soon as the required
assets are obtained another investigation
will be demanded to show that the COM
pany is all right.

Hicks.

Hicks predictions of the first week of
of the month were as follows, and were
about right:
November 4th storms mixed with rain
and snow will appear. A smart dash of
early winter need not be a surprise be-
tween the 9Th and 10th. About the 9th,
marked indications of active autumnal
storms will appear.
Below is his forecast for the remainder
of the month:
About the 18th, 18th and 18th look out
for a severe cold wave for the season
Warmer weather and autumnal storms
about the 22d to oath. Renewed boreal
blasts will sweep down from the west
and north behind these reactionary
storms, insuring cold, frosty weather in
the days and nights following. Consult
the danger days, 20th to 30th, and be
ready for whatever may develop.

A False Report.

The trouble which occurred at Pow
hatan a week or so ago, and which
resulted in the arrest of several men, was,
according to the Gazette, said by Frank
Koeber to have been caused by members
of the Order of American Mechanics.
Mr.. Otto Saenr, of Powhatan, was in town
Saturday, and he desires us to say that
this report is maliciously false. Hestates
that at the time the trouble occurred,
the American Mechanics were attending
church in body, and taking part in the
Columbian Day exercises. Noreputable
member of the Order had anything what
ever to do with the disturbance. Mr.
Saner thinks that in justice to this Order,
this statement should be published.

made up good natured and laughable
