In all the great cities of the United
States the suffering of the people on ac-
count Of the lack of coal is very great,
and many instances of death from cold
are reported. and the worst feature of tho
case is that money cannot secure the fuel
even at the greatly advanced rates. We
who enjoy the comforts of an abundance
of natural gas cannot form an adequate
idea of the sufferings caused by the coal
famine.
The following from the German is
equally true IN English At 10, a boy
thinks he knows more than his father.
When he is 10 he thinks, "Well, l know
just about as much" At 20 he thinks he
knows again as much. When he comes
to be 30 , ears old he thinks that ho ought
to ask his fathers advice sometimes. AT
40 he thinks that his father does know a
little more. At so he looks for his fathers
advice. AT go, when his father is dead,
he comes to the conclusion that there was
not smarter man on Gods earth than
his father was.
On an information of Mrs. Maude
Samuelson of Briggletown, (Sutton's

Leon Watson, superintendent of the
S. & r., inf rms us that another new and
heavier engine has been ordered to meet
the demands of the increasing freight
business on that road. Owing to the large
demand for engines and orders ahead, the
manufacturers could not promise deliv-
cry for some months, but when it comes
it will b. quite an addition to the motive
power of that rosd.- Sheffield Observer
The Observer further states that while
most of the railroads have been showed
up at times during the storms of the past
weeks, the Y. V. Ry. and the S. d t.
trains have been run almost on schedule
time. The management of these roads
believe that the proper thing is TO make
arrangements to keep the track open.
Farmers in Washington county have
just discovered themselves to have been
the victims of a gang ofswindlers. About
a month since half dozen men put up at
one of Washington's leading hotels, rep
resenting themselves as travelling sales
men. They canvassed the rural districts
hurriedly, taking orders for clothing at a
very low price, in the name of the"Crown
Mail Order House," of Cincinnati. They
demanded, and, in most instances, re-
ceived about one-third the amount of
their sales cash in advance, which they
claimed was necessary guarantee that
the purchaser was acting in good faith
and would accept the goods when deliv-
cred. Now it transpires that the whole
scheme was a swindle, no goods ever
having arrived or the men heard Of We
don't believe the farmers in Forest coun-
ty would be so "easy" as that.
