UNBELIEF
Though churches rear their steeples
Ger all our bright and happy

And every hamlet boasts itself
OF mission or of praying band,
Yet season after season sees
Rank skepticism wider spread
Among our youth, who ought to be
To faith and firm believing bred.
And soon the '97 crop
OF doubt We'll sadly reap because
More kids are old enough to hear
The truth about their Santa Claus.

BIGBYVILLE.

BIGBYvILLE, April l3.-The recent
abatement in the rains, which, here as
elsewhere, have proven so destructive to
farming interests, greatly retarding
work of every description, seems to
have infused new life into the farmers,
whose merry whistle may now be heard
in the land, and whose every energy is
being eXerted as though endeavoring
to regain lost time. The wheat crop, of
which there Is an abundance through
out the valley, is looking extremely
WELL while the potato crop, as though
loath to follow suit, has fallen behind
in the main procession.
Those who embraced the opportunity
for gardening prior to the rains, will be
rewarded with early vegetables, as
very little damage was done in this re-
spect.

months. Although he suffered great
pain, God, in whom he always trusted,
gave him grace to say, "Thy will,
Father, not mine, be done" He was a
man well known, and was loved and re-
spected by all. He was a devout chris
tian and member of the NJ. f. Church,
South. He protested religion in early
life, and ever afterward lived true
christian. He leaves wife and nine
children to mourn his departure. He
was perfectly ready and willing TO die,
and told his relatives and friends to be
true and they would meet him in
heaven. He talked as calmly about
death as If he were simply going of ON
a Journey. After arranging his bus
ness affairs and telling his family how
he wished to be buried, even to select

The irregularity of the stock market. which
has been Its most conspicuous feature since tho
beginning of the week. was less pronounced to-
day. The dealings were light. q circumstances
that encouraged some solling by tho trading ele-
ment, and there was doubtless some closing Of
long accounts incidental to the end Of the week
and of the year. Moreover. there was q con-
tinuation of prodttaking In tho local traction
stocks, particularly In Manhattan Railway.
Those factors resulted In lower prices In the first
half OF the day. An hour or 30 before the close
the speculative community began to realise that
the stocks sold had been we'll taken. especially
tho shares of the local transportation companies.
The repurchases hat followed carried the
majority OF the list back to or fractionally above
tho hnal prices OF yesterday. Manhattan Rail
way, which continues to lead the list In respect
TO activity, also scored the greatest net advance.
while Metropolitan Street Railway moro than
recovered tho carly depression OF GIG points.
Brooklyn Rapid Transit was also exceptionally
strong in tho late dealings. Sugar Refining
and Peoples Gas complete tho list Of stocks that
can DO described as active. The railway list
was comparatively neglected. except for an I'M
usual demand for Pennsylvania Railroad. Tho
market for local gas securities. both in
