Lumber Too Cheap,

Spruce lumber is too cheap it is said,
by the East and North lumber COM
bine. On the 9Th inst. when the biz.
gard was ugliest, they met at the hub
of the universe (Bostonl, and SO re.
solved. They ought to know, for the
lumbermen present claim to represent
about seventyfive million dollars worth
of lumber, mills, &c, in this coun-
try. They have their money invested
and they are looking alter their inter
ests individually and collectively. 1t
was the unanimous opinion that spruce
lumber was selling too low, and new
scale of prices was adopted to straight
en- the matter up some. Then again,
the Southern Lpmber Manufacturers
Association is billed to con venc in
Memphis on February 20, and the
liberal rates of fare given by the rail
roads guarantee the largest attendance
in the history of the association.
Among the important matters to be
considered will be the pine trust which
has been formed by lumbermen in
Georgia, Alabama and Mississippi.

1t rs apparent to the close observer
that there is quite as much theoretical
as there is practical christianity to-
day. 1t may also be observed that
there is policy as well as principle in
the pulpit without very close search
to see it. Where the advancement
of the minister depends upon the ad-
ditions he can make to his flock and
the amount of money he collects from
the faithful there is burning disposi-
ton to increase the flock and gather
in the collections. The temptation
is to make a temporary conviction
answer the same purpose as per-
manent conversion for conference
makes no distinction between those
who are convicted at every protracted
meeting-and who need it badly
and those genuine cases of earnest sin
cerity who manage to make genuine
conversion carry through to the end
of life. If there is watered stock in
commercial affairs there is; vain am
bition and watered stock in the re-
ligious struggle also.

No class of men or women have
more detestatlon of the conventional
Irish comedy with its impossible Irish
men, and counterfeit Irishwomen, than
the Irish people themselves, and they
appreciate play bereft of these and
clothed in dress that reminds them
of Ireland as it is and Irishmen as they
are. So, when such portrait Of Irish
life a, is presented by John E. Bren-
nan in "Tim the Tinker" its reception
is sure to be as warm as the people
can make it. Mr.. Brennan's presen-
tatior of the leading part of the young
Irish tinker, is certainly a revelation.
Play and star are pure, clean, instruc
tive and true to nature; you will al
ways remember his pleasant face.

1t is not pleasant to print dunning
notices in the paper, and we avoid it
as much as possible, but when an ex-
animation of our books shows that
that there is large amount outstand-

the necessity of calling attention to it
is forced upon us. The times are hard,
and for that reason we have been just
as lenient as possible, but expenses
are heavy, and when money does not
come in fast enough to pay them, We

will please settle before April Ist.
Statements of the amount due will be
sent through the paper to those who

The blizzard was too much fo- the
long horned Sing Sing antelope of the
Philadelphia Geological Garden. 1t
sickened and died Of pneumonia. His
mate is now critically i'll with the same
ailment. The old female jaguar also
perished along with some porcupines
who thought such life was not worth
living. The orang outangs occupied
warmer quarters and the buffaloes
found no fault with the coldest part of
the blizzard. They are reported as
having turned tail to the wind and
laughed it to scorn and appeared
happier than at any time since their
Imprisonment.

The Oldest inhabitant who has been
accustomed for lifetime to look in
certain places for snow drifts is non-
plused by the irregular action of the
recent blizzard. The drifts are to be
seen all right, but not in their accus-
toned places. The fierce elements
seem to have given them another
twist and piled the snow banks in some
cases where the oldest inhabitant
never saw them before to any such
extent.

Again we have to inquire what's the
matter with our weather prophets that
they have failed to remind and pre-
pare us for the recent misbehavior OF
weather. Though DeVoe made daily
predictions for February, he has only
guessed right three times thus far.
Three hits to dozen misses will soon
ruin the reputation of any prophet.

While crazy drunk Joseph Courier,
of Newark, N. J., recently shot and
mortally wounded his wife and then
went to slashing himself with razor
until it hurt, when he quit. After
being out on a drunken debauch about
all night he brutally attacked his wife
in the morning as she lay in bed with
her. year-old baby. There is no hope
of her recovery, but Courier, having
injured himself but little, will live to
repeat his crimes, no doubt, on others.

Some difficulty has been experience
ed in getting the Bloomsburg ballots
in such shape that they might meet
with the appreciation of everybody.
1t is not likely that such result has
been reached, but the tickets as print
ed have the sanction of the county
commissioners, the chairmen of both
parties, and several other persons COM
petent to decide the proper form. The
difficulty arises from the fact that
there are three different laws that must
be consulted, namely, the Baker ballot
law, Town of Bloomsburg law, and
Bloom Poor District law.

Orphans Court officers must allow
newspaper reporters to copy all mar
riage licenses. That's what Judge
Bland, of Reading, holds. He thinks
they should all be published for the
good of society. To license by stealth
might be to marry by stealth, and this
is what the law endeavors to avoid.
Its likely the Judge is right about it.
But there was a time when young peo-
pie used to think it was nobohy's busi,
ness but their own, and they don't take
any too kindly to public announce,

Our statesmen in conclave assembl-

countrymen leave the fish Of their own
waters and the game of their own
woods alone long enough to accumu-
late for people who have more time
to fish and hunt than farmers are sup
posed to have. The fish and game
laws of Pennsylvania will be arranged
with view to good hunting and fish
ing in the future, no doubt. What the
ruralist needs to do is to watch him
self closely to see that he don't vio-
late the game and fish laws. on his
own premises. If he will take care
to do this fish and game will be more
plentiful, no doubt, when hunters who
know how to hunt condescend to
come to the country for fish and game
and little fresh air and water
"To them who by patient continu
ance in we'll doing seek for glory and
honor and immortality, eternal life" "
This blessed promise and assurance,
found in Romans, I'd chapter, 9TH
verse, was very impressively enlarged
upon by Rev. P. A. Heilman last
Sunday. He preached to a good and
an attentive audience. Both the con-
gregational and the choir singing was
piously impressive. The choir made
up OF a quartet of singers rendered
one hymn particularly sweet and ap-
propriate to the occasion. While the
pastor justified all laudabie pride and
ambition he still recognized the posi-
bility of too much anxiety about the
vanities of life and our personal h onor
and glory. But the patient in well
doing have nothing to unduly crave
or fear, either in this life or that to
come. Eternal life is the blessed as
surance and in a brief sermon he
made it clear.
