say that no Convention was ever holden in
York county wherein the delegates as whole
were actuated by better spirit or greater de-

than that Of yesterday. The candidates are
unexceptionable and the entire list will in

The French Emperor does not enjoy repu-

only saved from disgrace by the prompt action

This pOmp that Autumn beareth
A funeral seems, where every guest


A bridal garment weareth.
Each one of US, perchance, may here,
On some blue morn hereafter,
Return to view the gaudy year,


But not with boyish laughter.
We shall then be wrinliled men,


Our brows with silver laden,
And though this glen may seek again,
But nevermOre maiden

Will touch her teeming bosom,
And that few brief months will bring
The bud; the bee, the blossom

The track between R0lla and
York Station, on the Pennsylva-
MIA railroad, was severely tested
a few days ago. A heavy car of
lumber got away with two men
IN charge, on the down grade of


eighty feet to the mile. With
each succeeding mile the speed of


the flying car became more ter
rife, and as it passed the tank,
five miles west, the velocity was
DOUBTLESS more than one hundred
miles an hour. One of the men
did not notice the long bridge,
and merely took the awful chasm
which it spans for a small ditch.
Fortunately an up grade arrested
the killing pace six or eight miles
west of Roila, and the car was
switched off at York just in time
to prevent.a crash with the freight
train east, which, being behind
time, had not passed that point.

occasion by the deposit of his
vote and the absorption of as

As the time of year has come when many farm
crs rcshinglc their buildings, it is well TO cN-
anime this subject little on the score of economy
The same remarks may apply to clapboards. We
think there is an immense needless expense in this
State arising from the poor and cheap materials
used for covering our dwellings. We know house
that has been clapboard with the same materials for
more than seventy years and they are still in good
condition. 1t is true they have always been well
protected with paint. We know of no reason why
they may not last as much longer, and yet they are
moi made of pine which is deemed the best. They
We're made Of large spruce and were rift and saw
ed Giaph0ardS.


The Newburyport Herald speaks of house in
that city which shingled eighty years ago,
and although the northeast storms have beat upon
them, and in many instances the spray from


the river has dashed upon them, Yet it is
rs tight ever 1t no doubt can be accounted
for by the use Of good materials. The present use
of fir, saplng pines and hemlock, should be avoid
ed. and some other materials used TO cover our
dwellings or else some preparation should be sought
out 10 protect them.


Many roofs are destroyed by the moss gathering
upon them and rotting the shingles. This can be
avoided by Sprinklug dry qlcklime upon them on
a damp day, which will clean of the moss. The
regard an excellent one 1t not only protects the
shingles but prevents the roof from catching fire.
Painting the shingles after they are laid is not
found beneficial rs a little ridge is formed by the
pant when the water drops from one shinglc to the
either and causes the shingles to rot beneath each
other. some carpenters lay the roofs with narrow
boards and with wide cracks between them, eSpecl-
ally on barns, and find that by this means the
shingles dry more quickly after rain.


If some prescrvatlNc composition could be pre-
pared which would be cheap 1T the same time
durable in which shingles might be soaked, or laid,
il would be Il most important addition to our con-
venicnces. Few farmers will go to the expense of
stating their roofs at present, and something cheap
cr must sought out. The whole State of Maine has
to be Shingled over every few years at an eN-
penSc that would be astonishing could it be estimat-
ed. We hope our farmers and carpenters will give
rs something cheap and durable 80 that we shall
not have to do work over again in one genera

The year that is gone has been big year
for Europe and the world. On this Continent
we can boast of much. But no one can deny
that the Old World has made big and glorious
strides toward the great future. Two things

refuse to admit that the Suez Canal and the

The Suez Canal is only partial success and
the Ecumenical Council promises to be big

by no possibility lead to an honorable or
