--Apropos our rural mail carrier: as
the new year approaches why not re-
solve to be more thoughtful of his
comfortg Think how often he is oblig-
ed to unglove his hand in zero wealth
er, to search for change left in the
boxes for stamps. Why not wrap the
money in paper that can be easily
grasped' And then again when you
wish d stamp, and offer ten or twenty
five cents in pay, why not be willing,
instead OF insisting the cold cash in
change, TO take the balance in stampsY
just refct how many 'lickingso this
X. NJ. G. has saved you in times past
DO not be afraidto tie up little mon
ey in stamps, they might come handy.
The yard adjacent TO the home of
John Lille, was the scene OF lively
confusion on Friday afternoon, during
the process of moving barn several
rods TO the east OF the former site, and
down hill. The track and bookings
being in readiness, the building, with
out warning, started on its downward
course, and the two inch rope which
was wound around tree to steady
the progress, could not be held, and
slipping away, precipitated the build
ing to the spot at which it was expect
cd TO halt, only sooner. In the crash
of blocks, and excitement of the men,
a team Of horses owned by Clayton
Towslee, became frightened and ran.
After circling around Miss Carhart IS
house they were stopped by the work
men, who had concluded to capture
the horses in preference to holding
ropes on the barn. II was remarkably
fortunate that no one was hurt.
