FROM THE STAFFORD

Tt is our intention to print under this head, from week to week, items of interest from the old Stafford News Letter.
 The building of the Stafford Loom Go. is nearly completed, and is just being painted. It makes quite showy appear ance from the village.
 The farm of F. G. Patten, formerly owned by John A. Brown, is to be sold at auction Saturday, Oct. 27th. The sale is to take place at the house of Rev. H. Moulton, and Col. Dimmick is to off1ciate as auctiOneer.
 'Twenty-twO new members were initiated in the Mineral Springs Lodge of Good Templars last Monday evening" The lodge now numbers over one hundred members, and is rapidly increasing. A new lodge is soon to be instituted at Staf- fordville.
 Julius Converse is changing his land across the stream from the Mineral Springs Co.'S. mill, from a rough, stormy, unsightly lot, to 8 level and beautiful plat. He has built a good street through it, thus opening some very choice build ing spots. The bed of the stream has also been walled up at the sides, and alto- gether the looks of that part of the will lage is much improved.

clergyman was much affected during the ordinance, saying that it was the greatest event in his ministry. It is indeed an event of lifetime to add such @ number to church organization at one time.
 Since the beginning of the year, in April last, sixty have professed conversion, thirty-six have been received on proba- tion, and thirty-one have been baptized.
 H. w. Jackson, of Holland, having a desire to replenish the beef barrels of this village, and being melted thereto by the rocks to be had thereby, led fat heifer to this village last week, to have the same converted into steaks, roasts, mince pies, etc. The heifer, however, re- belled, broke loose from the person lead ing her, and made for the woods. After some days she was found again, and once more led to the slaughter. This time she was brought into the village, where it was designed she should "go about doing good" in the before-mentioned attractive fork of steaks, etc. Alas, for the fallacy of human hope! The heifer was filled with desire to gaze once more on the scene of so many happy days, the farm yard that had sheltered her so long, and again broke loose, dashing through the street, unterrified and unchecked by any of the attempts to stop her career. In front of Ellis, Warren & Co.'S. store she collided with pair of horses hitched at the post, causing them to break tho har- ness badly, also the whffletree, in their affrighted plunging. When last seen her tail was towards Stafford Springs, and the distance between those fine sirloins and their intended market was increasing rap

MORE SILVER LEGISLATION.

The coinage act of February 21, 1853, related to the fractional silver pieces which were crowded out of circulation by foreign silver pieces. These fractions of dollar were, equally with the dollar it. self, under-valued in the coins, and, hence, were worth more in the bullion. They were gathered up for that purpose, and the cheaper Spanish and Mexican fractional dollar pieces were used in the currency. Congress finally gave it's at tention to the situation, and the act of 1853 was the result. This act reduced the weight of these fractional pieces; linn ited their legal tender power to the pay ment of debts under five dollars, and took away the privilege of free coinage. Their coinage should be upon the account of the United States, and the amount should be at the discretion of the secre- tary of the treasury. The purpose of this legislation was attained, and these fIac- tional pieces were no longer melted up and transported in bullion. Here is an- other instance where we were interfered with in our currency by foreign people.
 The act was supplemented to that of of 1858, and aimed at the withdrawal and re-coinage of the Spanish and Mexican fractional silver coins. These were de- monetized, and disappeared from circula- tion, as all money will when it is demon etized. The silver dollar had still legal standing; but it was practically non-ex- istent, and so continued to be until the silver law of 1878. The time when the silver dollar was really demonetized in this country was in 1884, when its bullion value, as compared with gold, was great CT than the mint value. Nothing pre- vented the use of silver dollars but the fact that they were worth more for other purposes, and the people were satisfied to do without them. Samuel T. Spear, writing on this period of our monetary history, says: "After 1884, when the gold coins of the United States were re- duced in weight, and, especially, after 1853, when the fractional silver coins were not only reduced in weight, but also limited in their legal tender power to sums not exceeding five dollars, and struck only on account of the government, and by it exchanged at par for gold coins, the country was practically brought to the standard of gold as the single standard ot value'
 This being fact, which cannot be sci aside, what is the use of laying so much stress upon the demonetization of silver by the jaw of 1873? The law of 1873 die not knock out the silver dollar. The people had already knocked it out of cir culation. Nobody was sitting in sack cloth and ashes, on dung heaps, bowling out his insincere lamentations over the fact. Silver owners cared not at all fol the silver dollar, for the silver in it was worth 2.98 cents more than the gold dol lar, and were perfectly willing the cheap CT money should be the circulating coin The law of 1873 recognized fact-a con dition-and conformed to it in making gold legally, as it had been de factO, the standard of value. The law, however allowed existing debts to be paid in silver dollars, as per the last section of the act and so the legal tender value of the silver dollar was preserved. O.P. P.CHAMPLIN.

As illustrating the degree of efficiency to
which The present managent of the b. u.
R. R. has brought its MOTIVE power equip
ment and esprit de corps of the operating
staff, we call attention to the fact that during
the months of April, May and June the pas
senger trains and fast freight trains have
almost invariably arrived at their respective
destinations on schedule time. The very few
exceptions to the general rule were due to
causes inseparable from railway operation,
and against which no forethought can wholly
guard. 1t may be safely said that during the
period named no road in America, compar-
able in magnitude to the B. & o., can surpass
its record for punctuality in train movement
In the vicinity of Boquet, Westmoreland
Co., Pa, almost any one can tell you how to
cure lame back OF stiff neck. They dampen
a piece of flannel with Chamberlain's Pain
Balm and bind it on the affected parts and in
one or two days the trouble has disappeared.
This same treatment will promptly cure pain
in the side or chest. Mr.. E. M. Frye, a
prominent merchant of Boquet, speaks very
highly of Pain Balm, and his recommendations
have hadmuch 10 do with making il popular
there. For sale by Joseph D. Zepp, West
