Sales of a Farm.

The following is a record of the
sales of farm in Chester county,
Pa, East Nottingham township, from
1901 to 1892.
In 1901 the first sale of the farm
on record the land brought 1885
pounds.
The next sale was in 1860 when
the price was $1,000 In 1862 it sold
for $1,000. In 1868 there were two
sales one for $40 900 and the other
for So, 900. There was evidently some
conflict over these sales. In 1859 it
was sold for S., 900. In 1870 the
next sale recorded is S. GOO, 1874 Sc,
lO0-1S76, S. 500. The same farm
was sold few DAYS since when the
lowest price ever paid for it was
realized So $50 20. AS the price of
such property is generally governed
by the income to be derived from it..
these sales may be taken as barome'
ter to the farming interest which is
at the lowest leyel it has ever reached
in a period of 80 years.
William Churchman was the
original patentee of the land and
Charles p. Dorman is the last pur.
chaser.

Second Annual Geological -FOUR by
Friends Normal Institute.

Friends Normal Institute.
On last Saturday, Oct. Is, 1892, a
large number of the pupils attending
"Friends Normal Institute,' their
teachers and several other friends
interested in the school took a de.
lightful and profitable geological tour.
They left the school building at 9
O'Clock a. NJ. and extending their
journey north soon struck the famous
Mason and Dixon line" This line,
dividing as it does the free state of
Pennsylvania from Maryland. which
was formerly slave state, has been
often referred to in popular language,
as the boundary between freedom
and slavery in the United States.
The second place of interest was
Goats Hill. This hill is covered
with magnesia pits. Many beautiful
specimens of magnesite, serpentine,
tale or soapstone and red jasper were
obtained by the different members of
the party. This bill consists of rocks
twisted and contorted as if they had
been "crumpled up by some mighty
hand. After leaving this place we
then turned down along Pine run.
Here we discovered large conglom.
erate-the cong lomerate taking the
name siliceous calcareous, from the
character of the sandy paste which
cements together its pebbles. From
this place, the party extended its
journey towards Woods mine. This
is truly historic place. In gazing
into those immense pits several hun
dred feet deep, or in surveying those
large piles of earth and rock, one
was compelled to think of the time
when it was great chrome industry
At this place we ate dinner, which
the ladies had so well provided for
the occasion.
After dinner the geology class,
who were especially interested in
gathering specimens, succeeded in
getting some very fine speclmens.ot
chromite. Leaving this place, after
pleasant drive the party reached
Reynolds Pottery, this being our
next stopping place. Here we thor,
oughly examined the process of max
ing crockery, We also obtained
some Gne specimens of"hematite iron
ore. Much of the history concerning
Reynolds ore mine was recounted
by Mr.. Reynolds. After having q
delightful stop, we again set out for
Rock Springs. The spring consists
of seven distinct cups, hewn by the
prehistoric man out of massive
rock. The next place of interest was
loves feldspar quarry. After get
ting the desired specimens of this
mineral and making close observa-
tions of the quarry, the party began
to wend their way homeward. The
tourists returned to Rising Sun
about 5 p. ~. laden with many diff,
feFent minerals and ores. All pro
nounced the tour a grand success
and said the day was pleasantly and
proftahIy spent,

Mr.. EDITOR :-"Politicks are not SO

FIGHTING ON IN NEW YORK.

Two Counties Refuse to Obey Law Made
by the Democrats.
NEW YORK, July 19-Supervisor Boards
throughout the State under the act OF the
last Legislature providing for an enumera-
tion (Which has been made) and reap
portionment of Assembly districts under 1t,
have been held to-day, conforming to the
provision of the act There have been two
exceptions-Monroe and Orange counties-
which have fatty refused to recognize any
but the old boundaries of their Assembly
districts. The reasons, argued by w. A.
Sutherland, Of the Republican National
Committee, when appealed to by the Mon
roe County Board, are thus:
First-That the Legislature could not con :
stitutionally enumerate the inhabitants III
the year 1892.
Second-That the enumeration which was
made did not comply with that provision on
the Constitution which necessftates that tne
Legislature shall know how many persons
of color, not taxed, there are in each Of the
countie of the State
Third-That the so-called reapportion-
ment act was not passed at the first session
of the Legislature after the enumeration
was returned
Fourth-That gross and flagrant inequalt
ties exist in the apporrionment of members
of Assembly and senator's; whereas tine
Constitution provides that leach Senate dis
trict shall contain as nearly as may be AN
equal number of inhabitants, excluding
aliens and persons of color not taxed" and
that members of Assembly shall be appor-
toned among the counties ''as nearly as may
be according to the number of their respect
i've inhabitants, excluding Aliens"

MONEY POURING IN FAST.

The Appeals for Aid Receive q Very Sub
stantial Recognition.
Subscriptions to the fund for the benefit
of the workmen at Homestead, Union Mills
and Beaver Falls, who are not members of
the Amalgamated Association, are coming
in very rapidly. Quite a large sum of
money has already been received, and the
officials have large number of assurances
that money will be sent to them as speedily
as possible.
The ready response of the community at
large to the appeals for aid, coupled with
the determined stand taken BY the
Pittsburg and Beaver Falls workmen
and the contemplated move of the
Duquesne people, is encouraging the
Amalgamated Association. To make it
more pleasant for the Amalgamated Asso-
citation the Wage Committee of that organ
ization hope for speedy settlement with
the Pittsburg manufacturers. The two COM
mittees meet for another conference in the
Ferguson building this afternoon. Another
thing that might be mentioned as giving en-
couragement to the Association is the fact
that hardly a day passes unless there is at
least one or two signatures to the new scale
Yesterday afternoon the American Wire
Nail Company and the Central Iron and
Steel Company were added to the list of
signers. The former concern is located in
Anderson, Madison county, Ind. The
works were built in 1889 and contain three
heating furnaces, one rod mill and 100 wire
nail machines. The product is wire rods,
wire and wire nails. The capacity is A, COO

THEY GOT BADLY LEFT
Two Greedy Dog Catchers Lost Their Val

Two Greedy Dog Catchers Lost Their VAL
uable Canine Prey.
Brooklyn Eagle.]
The dog catchers vino we're appointed
some 10 days ago by the Mayor to catch all
stray animals, generally consider their lot
stale and improbable one. A party of
catchers came sneaking along Broadway
with their wagon last evening, keeping a
sharp, lookout, for any unwary brute that
might be loose. In the coop, which they
carry on their vehicle and which closely re-
sembles those in which chickens are kept,
were seven dogs, as detected and miserable
looking lot as could be found in a days
Journey. Every now and then they set up
dismal howl, as if they knew Of the i'm
pending fate which awaited them. The
three stalwart young fellows in the wagon
were probably congratulating themselves
on their rich haul, but they wanted more.
They thought an opportunity came to en-
on a truck, on the seat of which sat the
brawny driver and proprietor.
He evidently thought good deal of his
dog, for he kept stroking and patting him
on the head. The truck driver was not
aware of the approach of the dog catchers
until one of them jumped on the vehicle
and made lunge for the hound. His
owner was not slow in taking action. TAX
ing big whip in his hand he began to
whale the intruder with mighty lashes
around the neck and face The other two
catchers, seeing the danger of their COM
panion, ran to his rescue, leaving their
wagon unprotected from the assault of the
enemy. The truck driver was fully equa!
to the occasion, however. and lasheS all
three of them numerically. After receiving
many welts they thought discretion the
better part of valor, and came to the conclu-
sion that they did not want that particular
dog, anyhow. One of the catchers, in his
haste to get out of danger, jumped On his
wagon, but lost his footing and sprawled all
over the lattice work of the coop, thereby
breaking the Stats in dozen places. This
was an opportunity of lifetime for the
poor, imprisoned brutes, and they were not
slow to take advantage of it. They jumped
out of the coop with an alacrity born OF
fear.
A big crowd had assembled to watch the
fight, but none of them had enough SYM
pathy for the dog catchers to give them any
aid, and great howl of delight went up
when the brutes scrambled ont of the wagon
and sprang away in all directions

Coleman Drayton sailed for England to-day

Mrs. Drayton, accompanied by her brother,
left the house and was driven to the North
