The Mines Running Steadily.

Last week the force of miners at the
Brock mines was increased to about 100.
Previous to that about so diggers
were employed. Including outside men
the total force at the Brock is now I25.
The mines are running every day, and
about fourteen cars are loaded daily.
The equipment Of the plant has also
been improved and increased during
the past two weeks. A new electric
dynamo of 10 horse power has replaced
the one Of 30 horse power hitherto in
use. This gives lot more power and
another motor has been placed on the
tram road from the drift mouth to the
tipple and chutes. This addition was
necessary to handle the increased output
with the larger force. e.-Brockwayville

Dogs Create Excitement.

James Cox, of Washington township,
who owns a ferocious bull dog, was in
Reynoldsvile last Wednesday after
noon and the dog was with him. Jim
and his dog were at Hartman's black
smith shop when Morris Huth, brother
of Huth, the baker, passed the shop and
Jim hissed his dog on to the bakers
spaniel dog. The bull dog grabbed the
spaniel by the throat and would have
soon sent him to ''dogland" had it not
been that they were separated. An at
tempt was made to ''slug" the bull dog in
the head with sledge hammer. Being
unsuccessful in that Morris Huth went
into the bakery and got a revolver and
returned to the street and shot four
times at the dog. but failed to kill him.
One shot entered the dogs side and an
other caught him on front leg. Nor
ris was somewhat excited and the dog
kept close to its master, therefore, 1t is
wonder some Of the shots did not
lodge In Jim's body.

AUTUMN ARBOR DAY.
To Directors, Superintendents, Teachers
and Pupils of Pennsylvania.

To Directors, Superintenden,s, Teachers
and Pupils of Pennsylvania.
1t is characteristic of civilized man TO
prepare for the remote future. This is
one of the most striking differences
between him and the barbarian, who
lives only for the present. In the
struggle for supremacy civilization has
won because It anticipated the future
and met its events as they appeared.
II is n function OF our public schools
to train pupils to lead in such move
ments as will best perpetuate the state.
For this reason, each succeeding au-
tumn you, the pupils. are enjoined by
public proclamation to turn aside for
one day and consider the relations
which the woodlands Of the common
wealth will have to your prosperity
when you are citizens and rulers Of the
state. For this you are asked to en-
courage, by your example, the planting
of trees, which will grow into a source
of wealth and power. Thus you may
transmit influences for good, not only
to the next generation, but those which
succeed 1t.
A waste acre which produces nothing
is reproach to any country, as n vast
ed life Is to him who has led II. There.
fore, lend the weight of your character
and example to the public duty of cov-
ering the barren hills and mountain
tops of the state with trees, whose
leaves will distil moisture into the air.
whose trunks and bark will furnish
material for our industries, and whose
roots will aid in producing fresh soil TO
replace that which is washed from our
fields, down the streams and rivers into
the ocean.
II you, in your day and generation,
fail to do this, the order of nature will
be violated and penalty will inevitably
be invited upon the land for whose pros
perity you will be responsible.
The abundance, in future, Of the
matured fruit of orchards, forests and
fields will be in proportion to your in
dividual activity in tree planting and
in forest restoration.
Trees may be planted both in the
spring and IN the fall of the year. In
accordance with u time-honored custom,
I appoint Friday, October %, 1896, as
Autumn Arbor Day, and earnestly urge
directors, superintendent, teachers and
pupils to observe the day with appro-
pirate exercises, both by planting of
trees and by the dissemination of infor-
nation on the growth and care OF trees
and their value to present and future
generations. NATHAN G. SHAFFER,

Work Increasing.

In some sections Of the country
tanneries are shutting down and others
are reducing the forces about one-half
We are glad to note that such is not
the case at the tannery in West Reyn-
oldsville, but 1t Is just the opposite.
Up until last week the tannery was
working 1853 sides daily when it was
increased to 496 sides daily, with good
prospects for continuance of that
number Of sides. One reason for the
increased work at this place and why 1t
is likely to continue is because they
turn out better leather than any other
tannery in this section, which is to the
credit of those who have charge of the
Reynoldsville tannery.
Nine car loads of raw hides were re-
ceived at the tannery last week. This
is an unusually large stock of hides TO
receive in one week.

Alb. REYNOLDS New Ordinance.

Albert Reynolds, who is member of
the Reynoldsville town council, while
talking Saturday about the ordinance
forbidding the shooting of firearms in
the borough, said he thought there
should be an ordinance passed making
it unlawful for lightning to strike any
where within the borough limits, as an
electric bolt makes more noise than
the crack of a revolver and is likely
to do more damage. Alb. is thinking Of
framing an ordinance Of the above
nature to present to council. Any
person well acquainted with Mr. Reyn-
olds, knows that If it were possible to
provide some way whereby he could
feel perfectly safe from lightning during
a storm, that he would gladly aid in
providing for it.
