INDUSTRIAL IMPROVEMENT.
New Evidences of the substantial BusiieSs
Advancement Every Day.


The returns from all parts of the
country indicate a general improve
ment in business and this general re-
vival kept even pace with the increase
in wages When the laboring classes
are working for inadequate wages
they are forced to retrench in every
manner. in order to find the plain nee
essities of life. but as soon as WORK
grows plentiful and wages higher tneY
keep their money in circulation by in
dulging in comforts which in the DAY
of their privation would be considered
luxuries. From a standpoint OF pru-
dence and economy this temptation 70
expend hard earned wages even TO the
last cent is one to be fought and con-
quered. yet it is just as human as any
other falling that flesh is heir TO-

at timel and at night again took ia
blespoonful before going to bed, and on
the following morning awoke free from
all symptoms of the cold. Since then
she has, on several occasions, used this

good results, and is much elated over

Adventure I'm China.

Mr.. A. Sydenstricker who, went from
this county, as a missionary to China,
writes of an attack made upon him by
some straggers of the Chinese army
His letter is dated on November oath,
al Using Kiang-Pu. He had made an
excursion to some out stations, and
with Mr.. H. w. White, another mis-
sionary, was in danger of being mobbed
in the city of Hsu-C how-Fu. They es-
capped by rushing into the residence
of an official, and were furnished an es-
cort out of the city the next day.
On his way back he received news of
the war and state Of affairs at Picking,
and word from Chin-Kiang that the
foreign ladies and children had better
90 down. This aroused him to hurry
on alone. He was travelling in a cart
drawn by a mule. He met thousands
of soldiers struggling to Picking, but
was not molested until within about
ten miles Of his destination.
Here two soldiers jumped into the
cart. and said it was theirs. The mis-
sionary made resistance, and they
caught hold of the mule and swore they
would kill him. One of them struck
him some heavy blows with his sword
but the padded Chinese costume Of the
missionary saved him from being hurt
Then the other soldier picked up pole
five or six feet long, and struck at him
The first stroke missed. but the second
fetched him a stunning blow, but which
was not serious. Seeing that this as
sallants really ment murder, the mis-
sionary escaped, leaving the cart anG
mule in their hands.
From the letter Mr.. Sydenstrickel
has evidently left the interior by thi:
time. He speaks of the country as be
ing in an uproar with no chance fol
him to work. The letter ends witt
these words
~ hope our people at home will moi
be uneasy about our safety. We try t.
be prudent, but at the same time faith
full to the work. We are immorta
till our work In done.'"

DIR. Austtn Chosen.

At meeting of the Board of Direc-
tors Of the Hospital for the Insane at
Weston, DR.. Chas. l.. Austin, OF Poca-
hontas county, was duly chosen as as
sistant physicians in place of DR.. Il.
G. Edminston, who died recently near
Baltimore. There was lively, though
friendly contest for the place, the can
didates, besides DR.. Austin, being Drs.
Morrison of Braxton, Logee of Wheel
ing and Simpson, Warden and Lawson
of Weston. DR.. Austin is a son of our
esteemed tOwnsman, DR.. Chas. n. Aus
tin. and being a native of Lewisburg
and a resident of All adjoining comfy,
we and his many other friends here feel
highly gratitied that he has been chosen
by the Board for this important and
responsible post, the salary Of which is
81 200. DR.. Austin has established a
fine reputation for himself as an intel
ligent and capable practitioner, and we
have no doubt will be found fully equal
to the duties of the position he is now
called TO occupy.
In this connection 1t is but just to
say that Mr.. f. d. Smoot, of this
county, who is "A member of the Board,
has been very active and very success
full, too, in securing places at the Hos
pital for men from this part of the
State. Mr.. Estill, as Steward, Mr..
Hoff, AZ farmer, Mr.. James SmoOt, his
brother. as second carpenter, and now
DR.. Austin. as assistant physicians,
are all indebted to Mr.. Smoot, at least
to the extent Of his vote, influence and
active efforts and, whilst there were
other influences at work, certainly for
Mr.. Estill and DR.. Austin, Mr.. Smoot s
persistent efforts in their behalf should
not he underestimated.

A PLOTTING FoX.-Last Tuesday
evening Mr.. VIM. Murphy turned loose
at his residence near Union a pet fox
upon whose trail a couple Of hounds
quickly followed. They chased the fox
through the snow to the outskirts of
Union. and Reyhard, getting in close
place. jumped upon the fence which
surrounds the brick school house just
as our friend, Mr.. Jabe Shanklin, (who
resembles in many respects the historic
and lamented Meekins) came along the
road below. Mr.. Shanklin, inspired
with the spirit of the chase. yaliantly
made at the fox and endeavored to slap
him off the fence to the other side
where the dogs could get at him, where
upon Reynar seized his assailant by
the middle fingers Of his right hand
and there hung on like grim DEATH
Neither force nor persuasion could in
duce the fox to losen his hold, and after
struggling in vain to free himself for
over quarter of an hour, bleeding
meanwhile profusely, poor MI. Shank.
lin was on the very verge of despair
About that time Mr.. Murphy came up
the road and beholdimg his friends ut
terly forlorn and abject plight went to
his rescue, but had to cut the fox's
throat before the animal would losen
his hold. Even, then, the fox ran some
distance and whipped two dogs before
he was killed. Mr.. Shanklin's fingers
were bitten through, and he will bear
the marks OF the encounter to the grave.

gables, many angles and a tower 90 feet
