One of the leading industries of this
great and busy nation OF ours has, tor the


last twenty or thirty years past, become


the manipulation Of silver and base al


loys into artistic and beautiful designs,


for the use and adornment of the table
and other places where taste and elegance
are to be made prominent. But very
few years, comparatively, have elapsed
since silver ware was to be seen only in


the dwellings of the opulent; but in re-
cent years. since the discovery of the


electo- plating process, these goods have
come within the easy reach of not only
the middle but even the lower classes.


Solid silver goods have become the excep-


ton; whereas, they were in former times


the rule for extraordinary table adorn-


ment. The use of the baser alloys and
the electro plating process turns out just


as serviceable, and certainly as handsome


and as durable goods as those made of the


genuine article.


In the production of these goods, as also
brittania wares of all descriptions, the old
and reliable house of Reed & Barton, of


Taunton, Mass, and No. Maiden Lane,


New York, still holds prominent sway.
For years and years this frm-name has
J been be fore the public, Their goods have
touched nearly every housewives hands in

Sheffield.

 The Luna of your columns seems very inconsistent of late, and we look in vain for her light during the many weeks past. Many are the surmises as to her where abouts, so while her light shines in other parts allow an inexperienced writer to tell the news for once.......Perhaps you don't know that April ] st was day for fasting and prayer in sta:d old Massachusetts. Let me tell you how the people of thls town lasted. Fifty-five in number observed the day by attending the services at the Congregational Church, where Rev. Mr. Noble preached from the text "The law maketh the earth empty, layeth to waste and turneth it upside down." A very good sermon. At the stores no regard was paid to the day-especially at Little's, the trade went on faster than ever; and we heard the head clerk remark that the reason they did not observe the day properly, was because our Governor was not of their party. Truly a fine excuse. ...We are pleased to notice that Mr. Little has finally concluded to paint his store. hope his neighbors will all take pattern by his example.....1t seems that MT. French did not sell his store after all, but we are not prepared to say who is to occupy this stand the coming year, as reports concerning it differ from day to day.......Mr. ostram IS expected to occupy the house of Mir. French, and Mrs. Tripp the house back of the store. ......The "David Pratt place" is rented to a native of the Emerald Isle, much to the disgust of the whole community, for it is generally understood that there is design to disturb "Widow' s right" in this place. Of course man can do with his own property as he pleases, but let those who oppose the widow and fatherless remember that With what measure ye meet it shall be measured to you again" ......An auction sale of property belonging to the estate of the late Deacon Smith, took place on the 7th inst. %. One of the youth of our town has of late made himself an object of interest, by receiving 8 visit from his sweet heart. It is one of next years privileges, in advance only. A young lady of Litchfield fame. came alone, a stranger to this town, to visit her youth ful admirer, and now the gossips are so mean as to talk about her. Such bravery should not be evil spoken of-especially when the orphan boy is worth $2O, 900 cash down. What if she did wish to see "h how the land lies," the situation of the house-whcsc business is it /? Not yours.

Flesh at length at o'clock with intelligence
that Spotted Tail holding council with his people,
telling them what he would say the commission and
they had approved it He would come to the council

his people, Meanwhile the 0galala Sioux had
gathered. Red Cloud, who said his heart was good,
was here; also Red Dog.

Of conclusion of the treaty is very doubtful Lone
Horn of the Mnneconous says he don't want to treat
that not enough OF his people are here The patience
Of the commission Is nearly exhausted, and they will
abandon the negotiation If successful soon The
differences and jealouses among the chiefs seem ire

country. The Indians expected presents to proptate
them and the disappointment makes their hearts bad

regiment of Ohio, volunteers, and

TIE EXTENT. OF THE sUFFERING-sOME


OF THE MEN WHO APPLY FOR AID
| WEALTHY BEGGARS-FARMERs


RESPONSIBLE FOR MUCH


OF THE SUFFERING.


A well informed gentleman, for


mer Delawarean now residing in North-


western Kansas, writes to the GAZETTE


as follows, concerning the "grasshop
per sufferers" of that State:
am right here among the needy
sufferers OF Kansas, and l know from
personal observation, that many men
who receive the aid which is sent from
the East, would be able to keep them.
selves from starvation had they the
pride and industry.


have seen men applying for aid
who were in monthly receipt of sums
| of money from the east. This money
is due them ON acceunt,of their farms
which they sold before coming out
| here. These very men can be seen
daily asking for aid. One man in par
ticular, who had three thousand dol
lars out at interest and owned property
right here worth four or five thousand
dollars, has been making application
for aid.


1t is too true that some families are
destitute, very destitute, and really
need aid. But they are not getting
their just portion of aid, on account
of the roguishnGss of the hounds have
just been telling you about.
Very recently the government dona-
ted four days rations to the destitute
people of the northwestern counties of
Kansas, and such rushing for aid you
never saw


nave heard men argue the matter
thusly: ''Well, 1 don't know but that
| might as well put in for aid, don't
need 1t but might as we'll have it as
some one else. Uncle Sam is giving it
and If there are any taxes to pay L will
nave to shell out as much as those who
get the aid"


am strongly of the opinion that
very few farmers would have needed
aid had it not been for their own mis-
management or rather carelessness.-
Men came out here last Spring with
some eight or nine hundred dollars,
bought claim fol, about three hundred
teams Tor two hundred and fifty and
then laid around until the remainder
OF their money was all spent. before
they tried to do any work. They loaf
ed in town around the saloons, until
1t was too late to put in crop. If they
planted anything at all it was only corn
in the sod, which they left to grow up
and kill the weeds. Had they put in
small spring grains, they would have
suffered far less, for the grasshoppers
did not disturb the small grains only
the corn. DELAwAREAN
