VIM. DaI byShire

We have never heard of a case
where man showed more presence
of mind and cool headed courage than
Engineer VIM. Darbyshire on Tues
day morning. He was handling the
early passenger train from Galeton to
Wellsville and when about thirds
up the Newfield hill he saw train of
log cars coming down the steep grade
toward him. 1t seems a coupling had
pulled out of a log car close to the
engine, letting the train get away.
AS soon as the cars came in sight VIM.
Darbyshire quickly stopped the pas
senger and commenced backing down
the hill, increasing speed as the log
train came nearer until he finally let
the log cars come against his engine
so gently that the passengers could
not feel them strike.
We say as did the passengers on
the train Long Live Darbyshire -

DIR. Earle's Lecture.

The lecture by DR.. I. T. Earle on
"The Life of Christ" at the Baptist
Church, Wednesday evening, was
fitting close to the interesting series
given under the auspices of the Penn'a
State Sunday School Association. DIR.
Earle, with the use of map of large
dimensions, made the life of Christ to
pass before his auditors in a very
graphic and fascinating manner and
thus succeeded in fastening the truths
ofthe Bible the more firmly in the mind.
He told the story in simple, strong
language and .for an hour and half
held the attention of his audience All
the Lectures have been of an except
ionally high order and it is believed
that much good to Sunday School
workers will result.

Time. Sembrich in Holiday Time.

Nine Sembrich at Villa Marcella is
the title of peculiarly interesting ar.
ticle in the May Delineator, descriptive
of the great singers life at her home
in Dresden, Germany. America is we'll
acquainted with the prima donna, for
each season her voice is heard here
and here alone; abroad she does not
sing in public. Much of her time that
is not given to America is passed in
her magnificent residence in the Saxon
capitol. Here during long summer
month she gives herself over entirely
to rest, singing not even a note, sim
ply enjoying her home and the com
panionship of her husband. Then
come excursions into the outer world,
for pleasure only, the most enjoyable
of which, in the singers eyes, is four
to six weeks of mountain climbing in
the Tyrol or in Switzerland. Prof.
Stengl, her husband, is not so enthus-
iastic over the mountains; neverthe-
less they are a delightfully."- mated
couple, and it is he an accomplished
musician himself, that has developed
her voice to its full power. Many
other interesting features of the great
prima donna's life are told in Mr..
Kobbe's article, and the illustrations
are Of special value.

ton. Both are valuable gentlemen.

Poultry Raising a Fine Art.

Noting the high price of eggs and
poultry the Oil City Blizzard remarks
that as it takes little monvy y start in
the business many more might engage
in it. Itadds few words of caution
for the people who think of trying it.
1t should multiply the words of caution
several times. Raising poultry is one
of the fine arts. In the first place, the
hen is the most contrary and foolish
creature living except it be sheep, or
man in love. All that fowl should
not do she will try and when she
ought to get thin she will lay too much
flesh on to lay eggs and when she
ought to be busy che takes a vacation.
If she is confined she gets into poor
condition with vermin and laziness
and if allowed to run at large abe
destroys more than she is worth
and steals her nest. She has more dis
eases than a patent-medicine advertise
ment and she will lose her chickens
faster than a boy at a cattle show
will lose quarters on the gaming table.
Hawks, rats, minks and chichen thieves
always find her ready to go and it
takes high fence to keep her from
running up bill by going to neigh
boris garden. When she gets ill the
cheapest cure is to cut her head off and
bury her deep, before she infects the
rest of the flock. She requires more
varieties of food than dyspeptic and
her rations must be we'll balanced
or she will take month off and lose
the years profits. There are thousands
of farmers who believe them a loss to
the farm if allowed at large and only
the experienced can make them pay.
An incubator is vain thing, requiring
more attention than sick infant and a
trial will convince any one that the
turkey and the goose have all the de-
fects of the hen, with a constitutional
preference to death at an early age.
There is good money in poultry. Most
farmers with land and shelter already
at hand for the purpose can add sub
stantially to their incomes by taking up
the work. But it is a trade in itself
and woe to the man or woman who
takes any other course than that of
buying about dozen fowls and learn
ing by several years experience Just
what to do. The successful poultry
raiser must become one of his flock,
sort of hen himself, that he may be able
to see things as the hens do and know
how to handle their problems. We
never heard of any inexperienced man
or woman going into chicken raising
on large scale to start with without
failing and we never expect to do 80.
Apples, poultry and eggs are three
neglected lines of farm income in this
section and a steady study of the art as
producing them would do great deal
to increase the prosperity of the
farmer. Brain power and experience
is the foundation of successful farm.
ing That is the reason why some of
us prefer not to try it.

Emporium Brick and Coal Company

Another new industry has suddenly
sprung into existence-The Emporium
Brick and Coal Company-composed
of capitalists residing in Detroit,
Mich, with charter capital of $780,,
600. The company is composed of the
following gentlemen: E. IT. Knob
lock, capitalist; F. II. Aldrich, attorney
and capitalist; F. B. Stevens, a large
dealer in brick, tile and coal; w. Fl.
Perkins, a member of the firm of
Taylor, Wolfen & Co, wholesale dry
goods; G. NJ. Ferris, of Standard
Cement Go. The company own the
mineral right to 5S3 acres on Britton
Hill, in W.T.. 5461, now occupied by Mr..
Dixon, who purchased the land from
Hon. j. G. johnson. We understand
Mr.. Dixon has contracted to sell his
title to the new Company.
Many years ago Amer Chandler,
we'll known to our old citizens, moved
out west where he died, leaving one
son, Amer, Chandler, Jr., to whom he
willed his title to the minerals on
above land. Mr.. Chandler came to
Emporium and after locating his claim
returned west and interested some
friends in the land. 1t is the intention
of the company to erect brick plant,
possibly near Cameron, to cost $50, 600
for the first venture. It will employ
about fifty men. The land is under
laid with coal and fire clay, of excel
lent quality.
Mr.. Ferris, one of the company, is
now here and desires to meet our citi-
zens. While they ha We ample capital
it is their desire to invite some of our
prominent business men to join them,
thereby bringing them in closer touch
with our people Our monied men
should carefully examide this PROPOSE
tion and extend all encouragement
that will land this industry,

WASHINGTON. April 13.-The

Other Potato Fields.

The Osseo Review in an article on
the spring potato market says:
1T will do some of our readers good
to know that we are not the only po-
tato people on earth, that if the entire
State of Minnesota did not raise po-
tato it would hardly be worth COM
menting upon.
''That in the state of Maine they
have one county that raised within
two million bushels as many potatoes
as the .sentire State of Minnesota
raised.
''That this is Aroostook county and
that this county produces over one
half of the entire yield of potato starch
made in the whole United States.
'"That this county has sixty -four
starch factories, and the amount real.
lied by the producers for starch
amounts to $4,000.
"That the prize yield for Aroostook
county is 765 bushels of potatoes on a
single acre, and the average yield per
acre rarely falls below 200 bushels.
cit will be worth while for some OF
our Hennepin county potato kings to
put this in their pipe and smoke it,
and learn that there are others, when
it comes to raising potatoes. !"

WILL REPAIR BRIDGE.
Sadley Bridge on West Branch to be Re-
paired at Once.
(COntributed.)

(Contributed.)
A meeting of the supervisors of the
township of Princeton. was held last
Saturday at the Sadley bridge on the
West Branch, for the purpose of de-
Gliding whether or not the bridge which
for the past two years has been in a
very unsafe condition., should be re-
paired. Mr.. Harter, the new SUPER
visor, was the only one of the super
visors in favor of repairing the bridge.
It was found upon examination that in
order to put it in good condition it
would be necessary to have about
three thousand feet of plank, one thou
sand of mixed lumber, and twenty five
or thirty stringers, and few piling.
After discussing the matter for some
time it was decided that the bridge
should be repaired and the job was let
to Pathmaster Pinkham and Constable
Sanford, who will begin work on it
this week.
Those who voted for Mr.. Harter
have good cause to be satisfied with
their choice, as he is doing all he
promised to do and more and to say
that the people of West Princeton are
pleased to learn that the bridge is
soon to be in safe condition once
more would be putting it mildly.
