Brother Baker of the Ridgway Aduo-
cate, has had the grip, and here are his re-
marks on the subject, which will be ap-
preciated by everyone who has had a tus-
sle with it: "For our own part we've
heard enough jokes about the grip. We
have had the grip, and consider il too
serious matter to be even suggestive of
anything that might suggest even puny
jokelet. Fun's fun, but grip isn't humor-
Gus in the least degree. It's mournful as
a dirge, and cheerless as the cold damn
grave"
Portions of the country districts in
western Pennsylvania have been flooded
lately with delusive circulars from New
York 'green goods" men. The letters
are confidential and unfold a bright future
for the man who will avail himself of the
opportunity to gain wealth at compara-
lively small cost. Enclosed in the letter
is slip of paper, on which is written the
following address: "F. l.. Fisher, 2Il4
Eighth avenue, New York CITY," The
intended victim is cautioned not to write,
but to telegraph when be will come on to
purchase the green goods and meeting
place at some point within so miles of the
city will be arranged.
"A large number of well-known busi-
ness men met in the Eagle Steam Saw
Mill Works, Greenpoint, N. Y, Saturday
last to witness an exhibition of new
process of cutting boards from the log.
The machine used was knife that weigh
cd, with its settings, 450 pounds. 1t is
moved by a 1ywheel that weighs six tons.
The entire plant weighs over 40 tons. The
logs cut were spruce, birch, green ash,
Spanish cedar, beech, maple and cherry,
and were sliced into half-nch planks at
the rate of 25 minute, and dressed on
both sides. The exhibition was pro-
nounced success, and is destined to rev.
olutionize the lumber trade.
In noting the arrest of a man at Dun
kirk for cruelty to a team, in allowing the
animals to stand too long in the cold, the
Observer, of that place, makes the follow
ing comments, which are applicable every
where: "There cannot be too much
thought and care taken of the comfort of
horses that are driven into town and tied
on the street. There is reasonable time
for standing out, especially in cold wealth
er, and it is the business of policeman to
take official notice of cases where proper
care is neglected. If people will be OBJ
servant as well as kind-hearted, and feel
themselves to degree responsible for
what Is done and permitted to be done
before their eyes, all such things would be
speedily reformed to the advantage of all
concerned. Every good and wise citizen
will speak out and not shrink when his
voice, influence and action are needed
There was quite large attendance at
the missionary meeting held in the Free

degradation that now exists among those
people and the possibilities ofraising them
To high place in society through the in-
fiuence of christianity, and christian
civilization. Each of the three ladies who |
