MEANER THAN MuD.-The 81 200
found in the street at Cumberland
belonged to an Allegany county
farmer. He not only did not offer a
reward for the return of his property
but was thankless and growled over
the charge of forty cents for adver-
Using, and paid the bill under pro-
test. 1t is fair to surmise what
would happen were he to lose anoth-
err pocketbook.

shortly after the dinner hour, tie
residence of Mr.. Upton Buhrman
near Vanclevesville, was er tirely de-
stroyed by fire, and some Oh his pee
sonal property burned ais. The
fire originated from terra Gotta
fue that runs through the roof, and
the flames had made considerable
Roadway when they were discovered.
1t started from the roof, and burned
to the ground. As soon as they dis
covered the flames MIR. Buhrman
and other members of his household,
having no water handy, threw snow
on the fire, but this availed nothing.
Mr.. Buhrman's loss will he quite
heavy, and exceptionally unfortunate
is, it that he lost much of his winter
provisions, which were stored in the
cellar. Although the property was
insured, the insurance will by no
means cover the loss. The company
insuring it is the Home, ofNewYork

LA GAscoGNE SAFE.-Safely
through a sixteen-day battle with
wind and wave, beset on all sides by
a thousand dangers from the time
she left Havre, came the gallant
French Lire steamship La Gascogne
into New York harbor Monday
night, just when all hope of her safe
arrival was about to be given up.
The vigilant observers who had been
for over week watching for her day
and night maze out late Monday
afternoon a blotch Oh the horizon.
A half hour later powerful tele-
scope revealed the overdue steamer.
The next instant the glad news flash
ed over the wire to New York. A
moment later the tidings had been
heralded everywhere, In New York
the enthusiasm was of the widest
sort. The office of the French Line
was besieged by friends and relatives
OF those aboard whose joy was un.
bounded. In Baltimore the relief
over the steamers safe arrival was
| also great.

SUICIDE BY observation-disclosures.
ton has been received of the suicide
of Samuel Glass of Taylor township,
Fulton county, Pa, north of Han
cock, by hanging in his barn with a

in search. He attached the line to
a beam in the loft, adjusted the
moose to his neck and dropped below.
He was veteran of the late war.
He was a member OF the Methodist

affected his mind to the extent OIL
causing him to commit the rash act.
He was sixty-seven years old and

THE GREAT Snow BLooKADE.-In
the memory OF the Oldest inhabitant
no winter more severe than the pres
ent has been experienced. Begin
ming on Thursday of last week q
heavy snow fell continually for sew
eral hours and was succeeded by a
tremendous wind storm which drift
ed nearly every road in the county
shut. The extreme cold, too, con-
tinued during the whole time, and in
fact has aba,ed but little since the
blizzard began. The Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad was blcckaded for a
short time and fridays mail did not
reach here until Saturday afternoon.
The Cumberland Valley whose track
is more exposed to drift than the B.
& O. was entirely covered and no
trains were run from Thursday until
Wednesday when by hard work that
road was able to resume travel. The
coal merchants have not been able to
supply the entire demand for coal,
and for awhile serious results were
feared. Several of the small towns
of this and adjoining counties were
cut of from all communication, and
bread famlnes were feared. We are
glad to say that the roads generally
are being opened and things are as
! Stunning brighter aspects.

Another Farmer Heard From.

Mr.. EDIToR:-I noticed in your
edition of June ~ that you took up
the subject Of double taxation. | was
glad TO learn that there was one edi-
tor who had sympathy for the poor
farmer. Ii there is any one thing that
is unjust, ii is for the farmer or real
estate holder to be obliged TO pay
taxes on what he does not own and
then pay interest besides. If the
farmer had not been obliged to do
this, doubtless there would not have
been the cry of abandoned farms that
we have heard for the past few years.
at was the last straw that broke the
camel's back and that straw Of taxes
is Of mammoth size.
am glad tou have opened the dis
cussion of SO important a matter, and
| hope you will keep the subject be-
fore the people until the great wrong
of paying taxes on other peoples
property is done away with. Let ey-
cry one pay taxes on just what he
owes and no more. This subject has
been discussed in private way for a
long time, but little have we seen in
regard to it.
Iwould be glad to hear through the
press from every agriculturist on this
subject. A. f., Bethel, VT.
