Quoted by evangelists from Northtield.
. Christmas dinners did not obtain, the
evening did better and all carried out
fine, and much exalted by strains from
the orchestra with frightful overflow
of supertiuities. We look for something
better that will lessen instead of multi
ply care, and have leisure for retrospect
and what is ahead. During this ''invert-
ed season of the year decorations are
cheering. Our own homes and noun
tains yield all that is sweetest, and box
to our Western exiles would bring out
tears of childhood. We lack age, and
prefer to sing of the 'Mistletoe hung in
the castle hall, and the holly branch
shown on the old oak WALL" etc. We Ie-
eeived of the former with it's living red
berry from B., n. Y, and from our ex-
plorers while in Dayton, where they
we're hating for two days with 9. T.
Palmer, our agent on the railroad, who
has become an alien from home here for
the last twelve years. AS he could enjoy
the great Shakespeare at 10, his business,
home duties, wife and flute have no time
for correspondence. He seldom speaks.

Cresor, now Mrs. Gates of Passumpsic,

Grove road. He has been cut off from
comfort and usefulness half his life by
asthma Poor climate for him. He bore
this all with little complaint. He leaves
at this well-kept home wife, grown up
daughter and small boy.
Mrs. Deacon Clay has come smiling
back to her home from four months ex-
peTience at the hospital AS her hus-
band and son stood faithful in her place
and without aid, nothing carried off or
added to, except little dust! Her
friends made ready welcome, to which
they added basket of what is most
needtul for our continuance here.
Music appropriate for the Christmas
season was rendered by our choir Sunday
afternoon, Mrs Barnes giving a solo in
her usual pleasing manner, Bartlett Mayo
was also present with his violin, which
is great addition TO the musical part of

Too Much Pork, Not Enough Fat.

Without doubt the fat in pork is about
as hard to digest as any hing can be. A
person has to have strong digestion and
must be engaged in hard work IN order to
take care of this food. although it is
true large number of persons depend
upon it through the cold weather. The
fact is, however, that as a rule fat is
largely deficient in our food; that is, a
fat which can be easily digested and
promptly assimilated by the system. Cod
liver oil, as we find it in Scott's EmuI-
sion, is the most easily dIgested of al
fats; it is Just the food the body mUst
have TO give it nerve power, brain power
and digestive power.

Iron Hill, KY, Sept. 8.
EDITOR PRESS: am opposed to
the stock law. Such a law would
be good for the wealthy farmer,
but the poorer class could not raise
cattle or hogs. If they have a calf
or a pig and no place to put them
the wealthy can buy them cheap,
There are IA great many small farms
and men who have no land. There
is too much unfenced woodland in
this county to grow up and be of
benefit to nobody, if the stock
must be kept up. Then the roads
and fence corners would grow up.

opportunity presents itself vote

Deep Mining.

The deepest shaft in the Mis-
souri-Kansas mineral fields is, per-
haps, not far from 300 feet. The
deepest in North Arkansas is about
100 feet. In Europe, and in Aus
tralia, many shafts run down from
1000 to nearly 1000 feet; some
California shafts go more than
1000 feet; in the state of Michi-
gan the Tamarack Mining Com
pany has one down about $500
feet in depth, while Africa, in the
Transvaal, has one down to the
depth of 5000 feet. At this depth
the temperature is said to be 100
degrees above zero.
The deeper the shaft, the rich
er the mineral as a rule. This
is especially true of zinc. Ex-
perience in mining. throughout
the world, has demonstrated the
correctness of this theory, Hence
we may conclude that the best
ores have not yet beer mined in
the Missouri-Kans zinc fields,
and that the North Arkansas min
eral deposits already reached,
though VIGOROUSLY rich, are but
as tailings compared to the much
finer ores, which deeper mining
will surely uncover. Except on
this principle, mining in other
countries could never have been
pushed to SO great depth. North
