Since then I have paid for all the food except the refuse i from the kitchen where food for six persons has been prepared. It lias cost me §5.40. During this time I have gathered 2,069 eggs; 13 of these I set ; under a hen and have raised six | chickens, now half grown. The aver ! age wholesale price of eggs during this time, at Emporium, has been over 12 cents per dozen. 2,069 eggs less 13 eggs set leaves 2,056 eggs at 12 cents j per doz., $20.56. 1 have killed five fowls for the table, $2.50. I have now 21 hens, §10.50; six chickens, $1.50, making $35 05, less inventory and food, $18.40, leaves/a gain of $16.65 on an in vestment of $13.00, for six months. Two things are necessary to success in any undertaking: "Know how." "Do it." This applies to eathing fish, pick ing plums, shooting duck, running egg machines, and every calling, profession and business. JOHN DAY. Emporium, Pa., July 1, 1899. Pig Iron at S2O. Pig iron at S2O per ton means that there is such a demand for it among people who must use iron for plowing and mowing, for bridges and houses and for tools of all sorts that they are willing to pay twice as much for it as they did in January rather than do without. It means that everybody is hustling to the top of their bent for the good things that this big land offers. It means that the iron trade has struck one of the greatest periods of prosper ity that it has ever experienced; and the prosperity of the iron trade indi cates that everything else is prosper ous, for every other trade and occupa tion depends more or less on it. The news of the extraordinary demand for pig iron is accompanied by the an nouncement that the New England cotton mills, which not long ago were supposed to have received a fatal blow from Southern competition, are ex ceeding all of their former records. The old wages have been more than restored and all of their old trade and much more have come to them. We are informed also that the sales of clothing this summer have broken all former records, and what ever di rection we look we find the people able ; to indulge in the luxuries and necessi | ties of life on a scale hitherto uneqeal | ed. The predictions of the prophets i of optimism have all come true, and | the faith in the resources and energies i of the people have been more than j justified, and the end is not yet. There ! never was a time when there was so i little chance for those who thrive by | calamity howling, and there never j was an instance in our history when ; the predictions of the perveyors of quack remedies for industrial and fi- I nancial ills were so completely contra- | dieted as has lately been the case.— Pitts. Times. Board of Health. Stated meeting of the Board of j Health at Dr. Bardwell's office, July j 6th, 1899. Present, Josiah Howard, ,E. O. Bard well, S. L. Barton and ! George Metzger. The Board resolved j itself into a committee of the whole for the purpose of investigating the sani- I tary conditions of the East Ward.

Last Friday evening the War ner House 'bus had a close call, while crossing the \\\ N. Y. & P. track, at the junction. The 'bus was heavily loaded with passengers, many of whom got out and walked after their fright. Something surely can, and should be, done at once before we have to chronicle a horrible accident at this death-trap. The proper persons should see to this and not wait until it is too late. Renovos Beaten by Emporium. The Renovo base ball team crossed bats with Emporium at the latter place on Friday, and met with their first defeat this season, in a game in which the visitoi's were outpointed and out classed. The score was 10 to 2in favor of Emporium, and up to the seventh inning it looked like a complete shut out, when the visi tors managed to scratch in one run on a hit and an error, and scoring a run in the eighth on a long left field drive by Gordon. Our boys started out with two runs in the first inning and five in the next and from then on the game was never in doubt. The home team fielded brilliantly and Overturf ] itched excellent ball giving the visitors only five hits and striking out ten men. The features of the game were the running catches of high flies by MeFaddenand Wykoif and the double play by Ganey, George and Farrell.

Last Saturday evening Dan Grat ton an employee of the J>. S. R., with headquarters at Blowville. visited William Anson's "pig's ear to pass away the evening. Having several nickels about his person he concluded to try his luck on the nickel-in-the-slot' machine. Considerable money was fed into the machine without any returns, which caused Gration's angry pas sion to rise. lie accused Anson of having fixed the machine, and An son replied by calling Gratton ad liar. Ihe quarrelling continued a few minutes when ]\lrs. Anson ar rived and she suggested to her hus band that he kill Gratton. The advice was adhered to, for as soon as Gratton turned his back Anson stabbed him in the back. Gratton turned about and before he could get his assailant under control he stabbed him twice in his chest. •The affray was interupted by the presence of other woodsmen, and Gratton was taken home and medical assistance summoned. It is believed that Gratton will live. His age is years, and he is mar ried. We understand that Anson has settled the difficulty with Gratton by paying .so<)<) and'the doctor bill. —Galeton Dispatch.
