PURE OLD RYE AND WHEAT
WHISKEY.

We formerly had bonded warehouse room suf-
ncient to store 5000 gallons OF whiskey, which
we considered a stock sufficient to meet our
trade, but we found however, the demand for
our whiskey such, that for us to be able to get
larger stock OF old whiskey, we were compelled
to increase our storage room and have lust COM
peted an Ironclad bonded warehouse with a
capacity SUFFICIENT to store 10000 gallons OF
whiskey.
We aim to sell no whiskey less than one year
old and from that on up to the Oldest we have
In stock except in original packages thereby
giving our patrons the benefit OF the age.
tillers:
FIRST. Briarcreek being rich fertile valley,
we are able to get superior quality or grain to
manuracture our whiskey from.
SECOND: Having our Touring mill In connec-
tlon with our distillery we clean all our grain
Tor distillation over rigid process OF the smut
ter, thereby, making It as clean as the grain
that is ground into Hour.
THIRD : We hand mash, double distill our
whiskey and then re-distill on copper distill.
FouRTH We leach our whskey well thereby
getting out the fusil oil and all impurities,
which new whiskey contains.
FIfTH We use no Second-handed barrels, our
whiskey is all put in new, clean, Indiana White
OAK barrels which is considered the best barrel
In the market
SIXTH: 1t is q known fact that the hotter
whiSkey is kept the faster IL will age, therefore
we heat our bonded warehouse with steam so
the thermometer VIII register 20 degrees when
the temperature is at zero.
We have never distilled any corn, and do here

Children's Day at Mifflinville.

Chldren's Day was very appropri-
ately observed in this place, last Sun
day June s6th. The programme cho-
sen for the occasion was, "The League
of honor and these were the planks
proposed for its platform. "Honor
YOURSELF "Honor the Bible" "Hon.
or the Church. Honor the Sabbath y
"Honor Temperance" "Honor your
Parents" "Honor TRUTH "Honor
knowledge" "Honor Christ" The
several speakers who addressed us on
these most interesting topics, gave evi.
dence of very thorough preparation.
They spoke with considerable force,
and commended the most respectful
attention on the part of the audience
The same can be said of the recita.
tions and songs given by the smaller
scholars.
The music consisted of anthems
solos, and duet by the choir, and
choice songs by the Sunday School
Only one wholly destitute of the mu-
sical sense, would fail to appreciate
the fine manner in which these well
selected songs and music were rem
dered. We are justly proud of this
fine array of home talent, and hope to
see it more fully developed in the fu-
ture. The collection was something
over twenty-seven dollars.
Chidren's Day was also observed al
Mainville, on Saturday evening, June
a5th. Miss Ida Johns trained the
children at this place, and made it a
complete success. The house was
crowded, and well it might be, for i,
was a very joyous occasion. We en-
joyed the songs and recitations, and
had good hearty laugh with the chill
dren. The collection was about eight
dollars. The day was also observed
at Fowlersville, on Sunday evening"
June 5th. A great storm gathered up
just at the time we were gathering fol
the service which not only kept many
away, but greatly delayed the exercises
and caused more or less emEarrass
ment. Yet, Notwithstanding all this
there was very good congregation
"Crowning the Cross" was the pro
gramme chosen, and its instruction:
were beautifully carried out. The
collection was about nine dollars
These amounts added to that of Lime
Ridge, gives total Of $751;

The above came too late for pub
lication last week. All articles to in

later than Wednesday morning EDS.

A Good upper

Considerable expense accompanied
the organizing of the vested choir at
St. Paurs church. The chancel fur
niture and the material for the vest
ments, new books and all cost
money. A room has been set apart
for the use of the choir in the Parish
House, which has been appropriately
furnished, and this, too. cost money.
In order to pay for these necessary
things the members of the choir, as
sisted by the ladies Of the Parish, will
give a supper in the Parish House ON
Saturday evening, beginning at 5
o'clock. 1t will cost but IS cents for
a substantial supper, and ice cream
and cake will be served for IS cents
extra. The new gas fixtures are ex'
pected to be in place, and the choir
room will be open for inspection.
Everybody is cordially invited. A
photograph Of the Rector and choir IN
vestments has been taken, and the
boys will offer copies for sal: during
the evening. They ask and deserve a
liberal patronage.

What Your Great Grandmother Did.

She hetcheled the flax and carded
the wool, and wove the linen, and spun
the tow, and made the clothes for her
husband and ten children. She made
butter and cheese, she dipped tallow
candles, to light the house at night,
and she cooked all the food for her
household by an open fireplace and a
brick oven. Yes ; and when she was
forty years of age, she was already an
old lady whose best days were over.
Her shoulders were bent and her joints
enlarged by hard work, and she wore
spectacles and a cap. Her great
grand daughter, with all the modern
conveniences for comfort, refinement
and luxury, may be as charming and
attractive at forty-fve as at twenty.
Especially is this true if she preserves
her health and beauty by the use OF

versing the court below was delivered
by Coulter J. Another branch Of de
fense was that the slut was in the act
of committing trespass in the garden
of the defendant at the time she was
killed, and had committed trespass
therein few hours before, by taking
fish few hours before, from
the wall, which his wife had
hung up to dry, as is usual among
women. The defendants wife had an
undoubtcd right to hang up the fish to
dry in his own enclosure convenient
to the kitchen, or against the kitchen
wall. And he had right to protect
and preserve that convenient nse of
his property. His garden was well
fenced and his property whether meat
or fish, in his cellar, in his kitchen or
in his yard, it was lawful for him to
preserve against any mans dog, and if
he could not otherwise protect it, he
might XIII the dog when caught on his
premises in the act Of destruction. In

Cos, Chief Justice Holt says, "That if
dog breaks his neighbor's close, his
owne, will not be subject to an action"

of people ? But if the owner were
responsible, who can detect and bear
witness against the nocturnal depreda.
