Agricultures and tho Fair-
SOME OF TUB INTKRI'.KTINf PLAN'S J
INC DEVELOPED FOR l8yj.
The history of no previous 1-Ap.ii-tion
attests at so early a dale such gen
eral interest among all classes of
people as to the general character, ex
tent, the benefit that it is believed will
follow, and the possibilities for good
awaiting agriculturists from the exhib
it in the Agricultural Department of
the Exposition, as at the present time.
A great advancement has been made
since the Philadelphia Centennial Ex
position in all branches of farm work.
Since that time the Department ot
Agriculture has been given a position
in the Cabinet ; has attained a fnm
foothold in the estimation of the
people, and lias not only become one
of the most prominent of the govern
mental Departments, but has been
productive of most beneficial results
to the commerce of our country, and
etery one engaged in farm-work.
Another advance in agricultural
work is the Experiment Stations, that
arc now connected with the Agricult
ural Colleges of our Country, support
ed by the .povernment,' with trained
scientists and educators at their head,
their woxk reaching out into all the
fields of Scientific research, seeking to
assist in a practical way those engaged
in, farm-work and -to advance the
standard of excellence in this great in
dustry to a foremost place in tite esti
mation of mankind.
In a letter referring to Agriculture
and the Exposition. Chief. W.. T.'
Buchanan says :
"The subject of irrigation and its
possibilities has, within a few years,
become one of intense interest," and it
is expected at the coming Exposition
to present the subject in such a way
that it will attract very great attention,
and within the next ten years be the
means of reclaiming vast regions sup
posed .heretofore to have no value lor
farming purposes.
"The great advance made in the
study of dairying and the successful
breeding of live stock has been one of
the marvels of the past decade, and
with the impetus that will be given
these industries by the proposed Dairy
School and the immense Live Stock
exhibit at the Exposition, the good re
sult likely to follow cannot be estimat
ed. "The interest throughout the country
in beautifying our road-ways by tree
planting, the setting aside by several
of our state leislatures of one day in
the year to be devoted to the purpose,
known as Arbor Day, and the encour
agement given this excellent practice
in our common schools ; the popularity
of, and interest taken in Earmers' In
stitutes throughout the countiy by the
Farming community, are all indicative
of the rapid advancement that has
been made in agricultural pursuits
since the Philadelphia Central Exposi
tion. , ,
"The coming Exposition will be, as
it were, the focusing point at which all
the best results, the thought, intelli
gence, and energy of those interested
in the great problems connected with
the agricultural life will be centered.
As an instance, the question of the
production of sugar from sorghum and
the sugar beet is one that is attracting
great interest in many sections of the
country, notably in the west. The
Experiment Stations in connection
with the Agricultural Department at
Washington are devoting time and at
tention to this work, and the results
that will be shown in '93 at the exposi
tion, as what can be done with an
acre of ground devoted to producing
sugar from these products, will be a
source of wonder and amazement to
the visitor. It will attract attention to
the localities adapted to this indus
try, and will be the means of building
factories and other industries connect
ed with the production of sugar in this
manner.
"The South, until recently suppos
ed to be devoted entirely to the pro
duction of certain crops, will be rep
resented at the Exposition by so great
a variety of products that one will,
cease to wonder at the great material
advancement made by that part of our
agricultural area.
One purpose of the' Exposition of
1893 is to show to the assembled
world such a magnificent result of the
energy, advancement and culture of
our agricultural population, such an
overwhelming illustration of the un
ending variety, and the untold wealth
of our natural resource3 that it A-ill be
one of the most lasting monuments to
the success of the Exposition.
"For the first time in the history of
Expositions, a magnificent building is
to be devoted entirely to the use of
agricultural organizations, with a splen
did auditorium or lecture-room in
which to meet and deliberate, where
all of the great topics connected with
the work engaged in by agriculturists
can be discussed, and from which will
go out results that will be far-reaching,
and of inestimable value and benetit
to our country.

New Fish Law.
Following i-i the new fish law, relat
ing to bass, pike and pickerel, as it
p issed both houses of the Legislature:
"So person shall caich or kill, in any
of the rivers, waters or streams of this
Commonwealth, .my black bass or
wall-eyed pike under six inches in
length, or any rock bass under five in
ches in length under a penalty of ten
dollars for every fish so caught, lint
should any such huh he- taken of less
size than the above, or should any
wall eyed pike or rock bass of any size
be taken from the waters in which
they have been introduced within two
years from the passage of this act, it
shall be the duty of any one taking or
capturing the same to return the fish
immediately to water from whence
taken, and no person shall by any
means or device whatever catch or kill
in any of the waters of this State any
pike or pickerel between the first day
of February and the first day of June
in any year. Any violation of this
section shall subject the offender to a
penalty of ten dollars for each and
every fish so caught."
' A Ninety-Yenr-Old Son-
A man 90 years old going home to
vis-t his mother and father, was at the
Union Depot last night. If his story
is true, Julius Schnicder, of Washing
ton, Pa., has a family whose length of
life will go on the records. He is a
German, and went to New York,
thence to sail for the Fatherland. He
siys his father and mo'her live in Leip
sig, and are 114 and 112 years old, re
spectively. He had his ticket for New
York, and appeared plentifully sup
plied with money. Notwithstanding
liis years, Mr. Schnicder was far from
showing the infirmities of age, Ilis
hair was snow white, but a bloom still
freshened his cheek, showing his rare
vitality. He has been in the tannery
business in Washington county for
many years. If he arrives safely at
liis birthplace he will remain there to
end his days I'ittxburrf Times.
Mehoopany people are considerably
excited over the prospects of a mon
strous lumbering and tannery scheme.
Davadge and Co., of Berkshire, N. Y.,
representing a great English syndicate,
have secured an option on the Rickets
tract, comprising about 16,000 acres
of timberland lying along the Mehoop
any creek, and were at Mehoopany
Saturday looking the ground over with
a view of building a huge tannery at
that place, provided they purchase the
tract. They will also build a standard
guage raihvad back to Forkston, by
way of Jenningsville, by which lumber
and bark will be brought down to the
Lehigh Valley Road. This will ne
cessitate a bridge across . the river,
which it is proposed 10 build as a com
bination railroad and wagon bridge.
The tannery will probably be located
on the east side of the river, near the
depot. Jennings Bros., of Lopez, will
doubtless cut the timber, and will erect
a huge mill for that purpose back in
the woods.' The plan, if it materializes,
will be a big boom for the lumbering
interests of Wyoming county. .
Catarrh Can't Be Cured
with local application's, as they can
not reach the seat of the diseae. Ca
tarrh, is a blood or constitutional dis
ease, and in order to cure it you have
to take internal remedies. Hall's Ca
tarrh Cure is taken internally, and acts
directly on the blood and mucous sur
faces. Hall's Catarrh Cure is no
quack medicine. It was prescribed
by one of the best physicians in this
country for years, and is a regular pre
scription. , It is composed of the best
tonics known, combined with the best
blood purifiers, acting directly on the
mucous surfaces. The perfect combi
nation of the two ingredients is what
produces such wonderful results in cur
ing catarrh. Send for testimonials

A Burglar Captured
This morning about two o'clock,
John Wood, the well-known plumber
who resides on Main Street, was awak
ened by hearing glass break. On get
ting out of bed he received a blow on
the head. J le immediately grappled
with the burglar, and after a terrible
struggle succeeded in holding him until
his wife obtained help. On being search
ed at the station, Mr. Wood's watch
and wallet was found on his person.
He gave the name as Robert Terry.
The broken glass proved to be a bot
