ries the greater part of our life without
thought of danger, but now there
comes from New Jersey fearful
warning to disturb our equanimity
and make us afraid. A case of lock-
jaw at PaSsaic is attributed to them,
or rather to the sand and dirt that
cling to them, a doctor declaring that
If the berries are not thoroughly
cleaned of sand and the particles lodge
in tender tissues there is nothing to
prevent first class case of lockjaw
An advertisement in O. newspaper
finds access to the homes of the peo-
pie. 1t is not thrown into the waste
paper basket or the fire as soon as it's
character is known, as majority of
hand bills and advertising pamphlets
are. 1t is not ignored or regarded
with either aversion or contempt, as
posters generally are. 1t comes to
readers with the authority behind it
of the journal in which it appears,
and it cOnfrOnts many of them when
they have the leisure TO consider its
terms.

There was hot time in GrantsVille
last Saturday night when number
OF the miners from Niverton, min
ing town few miles north of Grants
vile, raided the old burg and carried
everything before them. They filled
up on bad whiskey, the fighting kind
and for few hours the National road
leading through the town was filled
with the men who got to quarreling
and fighting among themselves. A
day or two later Senator Getty issued
a proclamation to the people asking
them to oppose the payment of the
