A Generous People aud an AppreeiatiTe
Pastor aud Family.
For the Register.
The good people of the Pleasant
Flats church and community have
on former occasions manifested their
kindness TO their Pastors by send
ing even wagon loads of supplies
from time to time; but on last Fri
day it exceeded all. A wagon, with
extra sideboards on the body, and
that packed closely to the very top,
making heavy load for two good
horses was driven to the Presbyter
ian Manse by Mr.. Asa Musgrave
and Mr. Knapp. 1t contained hams,
lard, butter, chickens, delicious pre-.
serves, canned and dried fruits,
jellies, potatoes and other vegeta.
bles, apples, and in fact everything
that the country affords and that in
liberal quantities and the very best
in quality such as those good ladies
know how to prepare. And it was
very gratifying to the Pastor to SEQ
that not only his church members
but about all of the good people of
tho community were represented in
those generous gifts-some sent
their gifts in money. And this was
not, as in some cases, in lieu of a do
fcit in salary for they have more
than discharged their obligations in
that respect. Mr.. and Mrs. Grover,
the recipients of this kindness
rsalize moro than before that the
lines have fallen to them in pleasant
places. They gratefully accept this
liberal expression of the good will of
those good people among whom
their lot is cast. The ties already
strong have been greatly strength
ened ard in return for their
abundant liberality they would
express their warmest thanks to all
tho kind donors, and as they have
again so generously ministered to
US with their good things they in
woke upon them, one and all, the
richest providential and spiritual
blessing from the Giver of every
good and perfect gift for their most
reward.

a Good BOOK.

Mr.. Jas. II Roush, of this county,
called at our Office yesterday, and
showed us a work which is being
introduced in this county, with q
request that we examine it. We
are in a position every day to judge
of books and reading matter, but we
consider this book, entitled the
"Handbook of the United States,
the best book of the kind ever issued
from the press. 1t is not history,
but a description of our country as
it is today, the result of the four
centuries in progress. History deals
with tho past. while this deals with
tho present. We have never before
seen anything like it, or it's equal
in quality of paper ,r character OF
illustrations for the price asked for
it. 1t is published by America's
most complete art.printing works,
The Matthews. N orthrup Co., Buffa-
10, N. Y. Every family needs just
such work, and every young man
and young woman ought to possess
copy. We have ordered copy
ourselves, and we would be glad to
know that every person IN the
county who is trying to improve
himself, or the minds of his family,
had done the same.
The Mount Lebanon Shakers have
invented a great many valuable
things. They were the first to
make brooms by machinery; the
first to put up seeds in little pack
ages; the first to manufacture cut
nails.
Now they are out with method
of curing dyspepsia by resting the
stomach. Their remedy is known
as the Shaker Digestive Cordial
1t SUPPLIES food in an artifcially di-
gested form and at the same time
aids the digestion of other foods in
the stomach. In other words, by
the use of the Shaker Digestive
Cordial, dyspeptic virtually gets
along without the use of his stom
ach until it is restored to it's natur
al strenth and vigor. A single 10
