gravitation could be secured, although those
who lad carefully looked into the matter
knew that this could not b. d)ne. The
election was quite an exciting one. msior-
ity of the property owners being arrayed
against the proposition while on the other
side were arrayed number of free holders
supported BY the almost solid vote OF the

msjOriiy Of CO votes. From that dag 10 this,
at intervals. engineers have been employed
in frnitless endeayor TO find 8 source from

Der OF taxpayers served writiel notice on
the Borough Treasurer not to pay out any
more money in this direction, unless at his

several af our local contemporaries 10 hold

fiippantly spoken Of by these same brilliant
writers.
The time for the opening Of the bids for
the proposed contract was set for 7;l5 O'Clock

tween Captain Henry F. Picking, in con-
mand OF the L. s. feet in the harbor OF Rio,
Brazil, and the Navy Department. The De
pariment refuses TO make sny Of Captain
Picking's communications public and from
this il is taken that the war between the Bra
lillian government and the insurgents is fast
approaching crisis. Captain Picking had
hoped to be relieved about Jan. lst, from
duty aboard ship be having already served
two years at sea, the period specified by the
regulations, but he has so successfully dis
charged his duties pertaining TO L. s. inter
ests in Brazil that it is more than likely
be will be retained at Rio until 'he war
is over.
The Captains letters to bis sisters in this
place are forwarded by way OF England.

An Unwelcoms Guest.

nnEelcome guest has appeared in the
Northwest which has caused genuine alarm
among the sgriculturists. /. IS known as
the Siberian thistle and is tough, prickly
poisonous, crowds out Of space all native
growth, spreads IN every direction, natures
rapidly and scatters its seeds broadcast. It
is believed to have been brought into the
country by Russian refugees.
This vile weed has established itself in
several Of the northwestern states-Wis-
consin. Iowa, Minnesota, Nebraska and the
Dskoias. II is a terror to the farmer and a
movement IS on foot to ask Congress for q
millon-doiizr appropriation to aid in lis
determination Il IS difficult to see how a
war against this vegetable terror could be
made effective even with this amount of
money as basis Of operations.
Oae thing is certain, there should be
measures taken TO prevent the Introduction
Of such pests into the country.

Swear or Affirm.

The matter Of swearing or affirming in
legal business seems to be claiming its share
of attention at this time and is a subject oi
general interest. The custom Of Affirming.
which originated among the Society OF
Friends, and is particularly strong in the
country near Philadelphia, is gradually
gaining ground, aud one of the ieadin g
members recently expressed it as his opinion
fha, il would not be long before swearing on
the Bible would be altogether done away
with. In every jury drawn there are some
men who swear, while others affirm.
There is still another legal form BY which
people may solemnly bind themselves to
tell the truth, and that is By the oath Of the
uplifted hand. bui il is seldom used. and is
in fact. unknown to the great majority.
Someone who wants to take this form turns
up in court about once a year, or perhaps
less often. and be generally excites curiosity
