Altoona's city council will participate in the Grant reception in Harrisburg, on Monday next. What has become of the marksmen herea ways ? There has not been a single shooting match this winter. Up to date we have received no account of any large porkers having been slaughtered bereaways this fall. Cambria county is in need of a new temple of justice, and last week the grand jury recom mended the building of one. Our friend, Thomas Carmon, esq., was con fined to his r00r.4 several days last week by a severe attack of rheumatism. A large stock of handsome Autograph and Photogr Tit Albums, suitable for holiday pre sents, just opened at the JOURNAL Store. Col. Ingersoll will lecture in Altoona on the evening of the 15th inst.

The season for the legal hunting and killing of deer closes on Tuesday next, the 16th inst., and not on the 31st, as erroneously stated by many papers. The price of milk has been advanced in IVilliamsport.—Ex. The long continued drought is the cause of this rise in the price of the This is the time of year when the metropol itan papers ask country editors to give them $5O worth of advertising in exchange for a copy of their paper. Mrs. J. P. Anderson and family leave to-day, (Thursday,) for Philadelphia, where they pro pose to remain during the winter. We wish them a pleasant time. A virulent and fatal type- of sore throat is rapidly decimating the porcine population of this town, the death rate in some instances running as high as fifty per day. A neat pump has been put up on the out side of the penitentiary reservoir fence for the accommodation of the traveling public, where everybody can slake their thirst. Israel Grans, esq., one of Huntingdon county's oldest and most respected citizens, died at his borne, in Alexandria, on Thursday of last week, the anniversary of his birth, aged 89 years. It is true economy to use the best means first; hence when the baby is suffering with Colic, Diarrhoea, etc., use at on^e Dr. Bull's Baby Syrup and observe its remarkably quick and beneficial effect. One day last week several small tanks of black bass passed west over the P. R. R., on their way from Baltimore to Denver, Colorado. They were shipped under the direction of the 11. S. Fish Commission. A handsome statue of some kind should be placed in position on the apex of the cupola of the aew school building. A figure there 'would give the building a finished appearance and add much to its beauty. Mr. C. B. Lowe, of this place, R ho, for years past has conducted the local freight between this point and Altoona. has been transferred to a through freight. Mr. Wolfe, of Altoona, fills the place vacated by Mr. Lowe. Jack M'Cahan and Will Conrad, of our town, who spent last week hunting in Diamond Valley, succeeded in killing two deer. They report deer very scarce in that region, and - the country overrun with hunters. Three kittens have died of diphtheria in Ogdensburg, N. Y. They contracted the dis ease from children affected with it. The post mortem examination showed plainly diph theric membranes in the kittens' throat. We have neglected heretofore to state that our tellow-townsman, Prof. A. L. Gass, hat been elected a corresponding member of the Dauphin County Historical Society, with privilege to speak and vote in the society. On Saturday night a week ago William Wil son, who resides near Ililesburg, Centre county, while in a state of intoxication, was killed by the cars between his home and Bellefonte.— Another sermon in favor of total abstinence. We neglected to state last week that our young friend, John Timm, esq., had been in stalled as a clerk in the post office in this place. When be gets "the hang of the thing" we are inclined to think that he will be "the right man in the right place." The position of janitor of the new school building is no Eioecure. It requires the hardest kind of constant labor to attend the heating apparatus and keep the rooms in proper condition, but so far our friend Boring has proved himself equal to the task. A glorious rain fell all day ofSaturday, but the earth bad become so dry that the quantity was not sufficient to increase the volume of water in the streams and relieve some of our farmers from the trouble and labor of hauling witer for their stock or driving their herds considerable distance. Detroit Free Press : When you see a man with a gun on his shoulder and three dogs at his heels making across the country, you needn't feel bad for the rabbits. He'll miss a crow or two, find a few frozen apples, fall into the creek, and return home believing he Las had a thundering big time. The Huntingdon County Teachers' Institute will hold its next annual session in the Court House, in this place, commencing on Monday, December 29, and continuing until the follow inn' Friday. We have received a programme of the exercises, but find it entirely to volumi nous for gratuitous publication. Health notes. Statistics prove that twenty five per cent of the deaths in our larger cities are caused by consumption, and when we re flect that this terrible disease in its earlier stage will readily yield to a bottle of Dr. Bull's Cough S 3 rup (costing 25 cents), shall we condemn the sufferers for their negligence, or pity them for their ignorance ?

At the Sunday School Convention of the Huntingdon Presbytery, held in Tyrone, last week, the church in this place was represented by Rev. A. Nelson Hollifield, J. R. Simpson, David Dunn, Mrs. J. E. Magonigal and Mrs. Wm. H. Woods. On Tuesday evening Rev. Hollifield delivered a discourse to a large and appreciative audience, on "The Seeding and the Harvesting." A cheap and true barometer : Put a small quantity of finely pulverized alum in a long, half-ounce vial, and fill it with spirits of wine. When the atmosphere is dry and clear, the spirits will be as clear as crystal ; but on the approach of rain or bad weather, the alum will rise in the centre in the form of a spiral cloud, which is an infallible indication of rain or bad wea.ther.—Ex. Geo. W. Price, of our town, who was ar rested and imprisoned in Hollidaysburg, last week, for his connection with the exhibition of the "headless chicken," was liberated on bail, on Friday last, and arrived at home the same evening. George says the chicken is a perfect "bonanza," and the "softest snap" that he has had fur many a day, bringing any amount of shekels to the proprietors of the show. Mrs. Decker, of Oaeida township, returned from Philadelphia on Sunday morning last, where she had been for the last ten or eleven weeks having an operation performed for cat aract of the eyes. The sight of one eye, we understand, has been partially restored, whil e the other has not yet been operated on. She had been entirely blind previous to the opera tion, but hopes are now entertained that her sight will eventually be recovered. Tina 111,11.1),n - 4 of Company 1), who, onr readers will remember, undertook to take charge of, and run the Huntingdon A': Broad Top railroad during their recent visit to Bed ford, and who were prosecuted for the said at tempt, settled the ease last week by the payment of all the costs. Superintendent Gage had no desire to punish them, but he wanted them and all others to understand that when he desires any assistance in the management of his road he will choose his own assistants. We see by the Altoona Tribune that our old-time friend and whilom fellow-citizen, Jacob Snyder, esq., will enter the field for the Republican nomination for Treasurer of that municipality. Mr. Snyder is a gentleman in every way qualified to discharge the duties of the position, and it will afford us extreme pleasure to note his nomination and election to handle the money-bags of the Mountain City. In these latter days they don't make any better or cleverer men than our friend Snyder. Our down-the-river contemporary, the Mt. Union Times, is out of humor about an item which we published and credited to the Lew istown Gazette. The Gazette is not in the habit of publishing things without proper credit, and in this instance we supposed the item was original with it, and we gave it the credit, as we always do all papers when we have oc casion to copy from them. When the Doctor has been in the harness as long as we have he will not scold if his contemporaries do ap propriate his brain work without giving him credit. One day last week a tramp entered the res taurant of our old friend "Agent" Africa, and called for a "dozen raw." "Agent" wanted to know about the pay before he would pre pare the shell-fish, and inquired of bis cus tomer in a style more emphatic than polite. Instead ofsbowing the rhino the tramp whipped out a pistol and "let loose" at "Agent," the ball going over his head and lodging in the wall. The scoundrel put his pistol in his pocket again and leisurely left the shop, and before Agent, whose locomotion is impaired by a game leg, could get out and give the alarm he made his escape. We regret to learn that our aged friend, Mr. Wm. Clark, the Express manager between Huntingdon and Cumberland is abed, at Hun tingdon. His inviting and pleasant counte nance is greatly missed by the local travelers on the two roads, and everybody inquires with concern after him. He has been 18 years in continuous servicQ, riding 181 miles daily, except Sunday. He is 65 years of age. We hope he may speedily recover and resume his position. During his illness Mr. M. P. Heck man of our town will fill'the vacancy. Peeps too, understands the business thoroughly and will make a very acceptable substitute.— Bedford Inquirer. LOWER END ITEMS.—From the M. Union Times of last week we excerpt the follow iug : A little grand daughter of Peter Shaver, sr., fell off the fence at the residence of her grand father adjoining town ,and had her arm broken. Orbisonia contemplates having a series of lectures this winter conducted by borne talent. Dr. Browning, Dr-James, jr., Mr. Schminck and others will deliver lectures. A good idea and one that will be conducive of benefit. Several English families landed at this place on last Tuesday en route for Robertsdale.— We are informed that the Rockhill Company intends to considerably increase its force of miners in the Robertsdale mines, there being an increased demand for coal. David Cassidy has leased the ore mines at Matilda Furnace from B. B. Thomas, and has taken a contract for furnishing 20 tons or more per day of ore to the Rockhill Coal and Iron Company. The ore will be hauled in wagons to Mt. Union and shipped in E. B. T. R. R. cars to Rockhill. This will give em ployment to fifteen or twenty miners and a number of teams, and will be of benefit to this place, and we are glad Mr. Cassidy has taken the contract. Nicholas Murphy, division boss on the E. B. T. R. It., was badly hurt on the 20th inst., by receiving a back stroke from a sledge in the hands of one of the employees. Murphy was coming up behind him unperceived as he raised the sledge over his head, striking Mur phy on the upper jaw, cutting the lip and in juring some of the bones of the face and nose. The wounds bled profusely and he was kept in the house for a few days, but is now able to be about again. Oa Tuesday of last week, P. M. Bare, wLile threshing at George Garver's in Dill Valley, fell from a mow above the threshing floor, sustaining severe injuries. It appears that he stepped on a loose board which tilted, and being unable to recover his balance, he fell through to the floor below, striking the floor with his head and shoulder. He received a severe wound on the head and was badly stoved in the body. Luckily no bones were broken and although he will probably be laid up for several weeks, we trust he will fully recover in due time. Dr. Harry James, of Orbisonia, dressed the wounds in a skillful and very satisfactory manner. Miss Ad. Shaver met with an accident one day last week, which might have proved much more serious than it did. While going to the cellar carrying a full load, including a crock full of buttermilk, a butter bowl with butter and other articles, she stepped upon a cat, which, unperceived, was lying upon the cellar steps, and was tripped and thrown head fore most to the cellar floor below. Her mother, hearing a fearful racket followed by a groan, came to the cellar stairs, but amid the wreck of jelly, canned tomatoes, milk, butter, etc., was unable to tell for some time whether the young lady was dead or alive. Fortunately, although badly bruised, she had no bones broken. She don't propose to step on any more cats on the cellar stairs. CHUILCEI CONSTITUTED.—Pursuant to previous notice a Council of Ministers and Lay Delegates from the Churches of the Cen tre Baptist Association assembled on Tuesday last, in the new Lutheran Church, at Hawn's School House on the Branch, for the purpose of taking into consideration the propriety of constituting into a separate organization the membership in that locality, to be known as the Raystown Branch Baptist Church. The Council assembled at 11 o'clock, a. m., and was organized by the selection of Rev. H. F. King, of Hollidaysburg, as Moderator, and R. M'Divitt, of Huntingdon, as Clerk. Tho opening exercises consisted of reading the scriptures and prayer by Rev. G. G. Craft, of Huntingdon, after which the Council thus or g,nized, proceeded to hear the application of the membership and the object in forming a separate organization, Articles of Faith and Church Covenant, when on motion, the appli cation was granted and the recognition ser vices proceeded with in the following order : Sermon by Rev. C. H. Scott, of Bellwood, Blair Co., from John iv, 23; right hand of fel lowship extended on the part of the Council by Rev. G. G. Craft, and received iu behalf of the Church by Rev. D. W. Hunter, Pastor; Charge tc the Church by Res. D. J. 1. Stray er, of Three Springs; concluding prayer by H. L. Bunker, of Hollidaysburg. The church, as constituted, consists of some sixty members of the Baptist denomination liv ing in that vicinity, who had heretofore prin cipally been members of the fluutingdou Church, of which that was an out station, and from which they had been at their own request, dismissed for this purpose, the object being to secure a more convenient place of worship and more regular preaching, a large number of them being so situated as to render access to the church at this place difficult., and at certain seasons of the year almost im possible on account of the distance and the condition of the roads. FREE TEMPERANCE LEC run E.—We are requested to announce that Mrs. E. 11. Russell, said to be the most eloquent lecturess in the country, will deliver her popular lecture, "Are Your Camels Tied ?" in l'enn Street hall, on Wednesday night, 17th inst. This lady comes here under the auspices of the Good Templar's Lodge, and during the de livery of the lecture the members of the lodge will appear on the stage in full regalia. The public are cordially invited, and as the lecture will be free the house should be crowded. If you fail to go you will miss a rare intellectual treat. The Pu'pit. ' flee. G. G. Craft, or the IltVist coursed on Sabbath morning last from Eph. I. 2 and 23. "The Church which is Ilk body." Life, as we know it here, is 10 , 12. ed in or ganisms ; what its conditions may be else where we cannot tell, but life, as we see it. is always embraced in three simple divisiens. Vegetable life has its organism in root, tree, branch and leaf, and in all these varieties that life unfolds itself to us. The organism of au imal life lies in body, through all the lower forms of creation, reaching up to man, and the Oi ganism is only the medium o igh which the lite exhibits or displays itself. The Bible recognizes another kind of life, more subtle in itself, and in its operations than either of the others. That is spiritual life and is the highest form of life that than can know. It is a question of interest for us to know through what forms the spiritual lite has expressed itself ; where is the organism, and what is it, in which that lite his lodged itself, and by which it is to be displayed to the world. some say that conception i.s f.nind in the nature of man ; that man becomes the incarnation of spirits. A man may be the incarnation of a spirit, but not of the spirits according to the scriptural conception of the term. To show forth the true purpose of the church in the' world to-day is the object in select ing this text, and there are three or four con ceptions of it which demand our attention. Horticulturists may take any form of vegeta ble life and submit it to artificial conditions which will quicken and advance, or retard and dwarf its growth. The same is true in regard to animal life, and this in nature, is always an exaggeration or a distortion. This is equally true in regard to thoughts and ideas. There are to-day in the world four conceptions of the church. The first is an exaggeration. Men have thrown around it conditions that do net belong to it, and so we have in the Romish idea that exaggeration. Twelvecenturies ago and more, ecclesiastics dreamed that there would be planted in the earth a church that would reach out and extend itself until it would become the dominant, controlling pow er in the earth, its officers vested with au— thority as vicar of. Christ here upon earth, down through all their successors as of Arch bishop, Cardinal, Bishop, and Priest. Men have gone forth with that idea, that concep tion of the church, to bring into subjection every force, every government on the earth, and what have we witnessed as the conse quence? The civil and military power enlist ed in its behalf and the church of Jesus Christ seeking to advance itself in the world by the pc:in er of arms, although He who stood at its head declared "My kingdom is not of this world, else would my servants fight." "Put up thy sword," &c. Over the slain bodies of its victims men have sought to perpetuate the church of Jesus Christ in the world. Such a conception as this is opposed to the holy spirit of Jesus Christ, and is simply a thought or au idea of His, so exaggerated that it ceases to be the true idea of the Church. This to some extent is true of all those who have conic out of the Church of Rome. We as a Church never were a part of those who joined in the Reformation. We never protested, at least we always protested, but never belonged to those who came out of the Romish Church during the Reformation, and while we rejoice that so many have emerged from underneath the control of an ecclesiastical power like this, yet we regret that when they came out of the darkness of Catholicism they came, alas, like Lazarus from his tomb with the cerements of death still clinging to them, and are still hold ing to old fornis'and ideas that belong, if any where, to the Church of Rome. Every instance of the concentrations of power in one single man is to that extent a departure from the true idea of the Church of Jesus Christ. The Church is not a hierarchy in the world, and there is no conception of it that permits one man to become the controller of the faith of another. Such conceptions are but exaggera tions of the idea of Christ. We have another idea lying at the other ex treme ; a diminished idea, which says there is nothing to be attached to forms ; that the church is merely a spiritual organization. I respect their piety, but whether it be Quaker ism or anything else it is but a diminished idea of the Church of Christ. They have fail ed to see the worth or the design of true form in the Church of Christ. There are no forms or ordinances essential to the soul's lite, but yet there is no manifestation of life without form, or something by which that life is ex pressed. You may submit a man to every or dinance, bring him within the pale of the church, surround him with all that belongs to it, and yet leave his soul unaffected, because the power is not in the form. There is another idea, a distortion. Men say that the Church of Christ is simply a company of men and women come together for the purpose of worshipping, something they can form and dissolve: a literary society, with no higher idea than intellectual improve. ment, and for the purpose of giving men re ligious training and developement. There is no worse caricature of the Church than that ; no distortion in nature worse than that dig tortion of this divine idea of the church, for although it does - serve this purpose it has a higher and nobler object. There is another idea that men call liberty, and there are two men in Brooklyn who are very accommodating in this respect. They have a baptistery in the church and are ready to immerse a man, pour water on him, or sprinkle him, and this they call liberality. It is that kind of liberty that a man might take with money that is not his, but which you have entrusted in his bands. When men un der the claim of liberty make any such as sumption as this, they have departed from the true conception of what the church is. It is a destorted idea. i rejoice in whatever there is of enlargement in the Church of Christ, and that we are less narrowed in our prejudices as different churches than we were twenty years ago, but I cannot rejoice in anything that is a departure from the standard that Jesus Christ has revealed to us ; that takes that lib erty with what He has entrusted to us, and dares to say that is not essential which He has commanded. What then is the true normal idea of the church ? There are two different uses made of the word church in the Scriptures. The one is in Matthew, where Christ says to his disci ples upon this rock I will build my church." Here He evidently means the whole church, all those who believed, and shall believe in Him, till the end of the age, taking in its wide scope believers in every century and time, from every condition and sphere of life, who have believed on His name. Another presentation is that in which it is spoken of as a church or as churches, as in the opening chapter of Revelation where John is speaking of the Seven Churches of Asia, and in the churches of the world there is not a condition that is not described somewhere in that chap ter, and as they were viewed as different churches so to-day, the divine idea may be that view of which Christ takes of the separate churches, those who by faith have submitted themselves to Christ, and each local church becomes a figure of what the true Church of Jesus Christ is, gathered together in this unity, it matters not bow many or how few, in the name of Jesus Christ, the power that forms that mystic union he• tween Him and the church which He has or ganized and which draws its life from Him, constituted for this end and existing by His authority, and to move in the sphere of its usefulness under His control and authority. Is it not then something vastly different from a mere ecclesiastical power that seeks to gather round it all the forces of the earth to advance itself, no matter at what cost; some thing more than an organization that has uo power of unity or of life ; or one that exists merely for the religious training of men. The Church of Christ to-day is a real divine, liv ing organization, drawing its life from Him. If it be true that this is the organization through which the Christ-life is to display itself, then how grand a thing the church be comes. The medium is imperfect, but, im perfect as it is, it is the expression of the Divine life, and the church exists as an organization through which that life is to flow, and the power is to go out from it by which men are to ho influenced for good, and this power is only in proportion its it radiates from the Church as the centre. You may got up among men that which you call a revival but which Jesus Christ will never own. Men get up re• vivals as they do political meetings, with the same kind of excitement and the same kind of results. The true idea of the growth of divine life in the world is when the church, feeling the impulse of that life which is from Christ reaches out toward men and desires them to be saved. Imperfect the church is, yet it is the medium for the manifestation of the Di• vine life, and to show forth its power and in dwelliug. The idea I seek to unfold to day is that instead of the church coming together merely to hear some one preach, or on the low plane of social life, it shall be in the pow er of that life which makes us one in Jesus Christ, and as His body in the world. May you and I not be such members of that body as shall only mar and maim and cripple it in its power. We are yet to form a part of that in numerable company that are to come together and constitute the Church as Jesus Christ saw it, when the Divine idea shall be realized, and when we shall come to the city of the New Jerusalem. May God grant us not only an entrance into the Church here but there also. A GOOD NEWSPAPER IS THE CHEAP EST LITERATURE.—It is a remarkable fact that the general appropriation in prices consequ4nt Nam the revival of prosperity throughout the United States finds an exception in the cost of literature of every kiwi. This is emphat ically an era ot cheap literature, and news papers, after ail, arc the cheapest of litera ti.re. A journal like the Philadelphia IVEEK• LY TlME'i, the fifty-two numbers issued in a year betng equivalent to several octavo vol• times, is e.tslly within the reach of the most depleted purse. THE WEEKLY TIMES is a news paper, but something more than a newspaper. While ell the news of the day is fully covered by special correspondents stationed at all the great centres of pepulation, and all other ap proved agencies for the collection of news are employed, equal pains are taken to occupy other fields of intellectual activity. Fiction, poetry, sketches of travel ; adventure and bi ography, essays in popular science, the latest aspects of modern thought, are given adequate treatment from week to week. All topics of palitical, commercial, religious, social and general interest arc fearlessly discussed in the editorial (,)! 111 ns ; the critical departments, musical, dramatic and literary, are in compe tent hands; matters of domestic economy have special attention, and the press of all countries is made to pap the tribute in its best things for the entertainment of American readers. These assertions are broad, but they are justified by the nearly unanimous verdict of the press and people that the Philadelphia WEEKLy Times is the best family newspaper now published. In calling attention to the remarkably liberal terms which are offered to subscribers for the year 1880—a year that is likely to be memorable in American history —we feel that we are doing good service to all who wish to enjoy during that year the visits of a newspaper which, while having all the characteristics of the advanced journalism of the day, is so thoroughly imbued with a wholesome spirit that it may be introduced into any family with certainty that it will be come a favorite alike with father, mother and children. THE WEEKLY TIMES is now offered at $1.25 per copy when sent in clubs of twen ty, and for $6 three copies together with "The Annals oi' the War," a volume of 800 pages, beautifully illustrated, are sent pos tage free to any address. MILL BUILNED.—The flJuriog mill of T. E. Orbison, esq., at Orbisonia, was totally destroyed by fire at an early hour on Monday night. The fire, we understand, was commu nicated to the building by a man named Bry an, who had clandestinely entered the mill for the purpose of sleeping there. Before going to sleep he concluded to take a smoke, and in attempting to light his pipe the fire got into some straw that had been packed about some of the machinery for the winter, which blazed up and set fire to the wood work. Bryan ran out and gave the alarm, but the fire had made such rapid progress as to be unmanageable. The mill, we learn, contained considerable quantities of grain of different kiqds, all of which was destroyed. Bryan was arrested, and on Monday afternoon was brought to this place and locked up. Itching Piles—Symptoms and Cure. The symptoms are moisture, like prespira tion, intense itching, increased by scratching, very distressing, particularly at night, as if pin worms were crawling in and about the rectum ; the private parts are sometimes af fected ; if allowed to continue very serious results may follow.

SCRAPING CARROTS FOR BUTTER.— Farmers wives have for years been in the habit of scraping carrots to color butter.— This hard and disagreeable work is no longer necessary, for a more perfect color in every way, and one absolutely cheaper, is now pre pared by the well known chemists, Wells, Richardson & Co., of Burlington, Vt., and called Perfected Butter Color. It adds to the keeping qualities of butter, and gives a per fect June tint. It has been adopted by the leading dairymen everywhere. Rev. BISHOP GILMOUR, of Cleveland, Ohio, has used the Great German Remedy, ST. Jecoss OIL, and endorses it highly. He writes about it as follows: "I am pleased to say that the use of ST. Jecons OIL has bene fited me gre%tly, and I have no hesitation to recommend it to all as an excellent curative." CAUSE AND EFFECT.—The main cause of nervousness is indigestion, and that is caused by weakness of the stomach. No one can have sound nerves and good health with out using Hop Bitters to strengthen the stomach, purify the blood, and keep the liver and kidneys active, to carry Wall the poison ous and waste matter of the system.

It is a radical cure for piles. Don't fail to use it. "An Old Physician's Advice."

Democrats everywhere should inform themselves carefully alike of the action of their party through out the country and of the movements of their Republican opponents. A failure to do this in 1376 contributed greatly to the loss oy the Dem ocracy of the fruits of the victory fairly won at the polls. The year ISSO promises to be one of the most interesting and important years of this crowded and eventful century. It will witness a Presi dential election which may result in re-establish ing the Government of this country on the prin ciples of its constitutional founders, or in perms nantly changing the relations of the States to the Federal power. No intelligent man can regard such an election with indifference. Tex Wowl.p is the only daily English newspaper published in the city of New York which upholds the doctrines of constitutional Democracy, will steadily repre sent the Democratic party in this great canvass. It will do this in no spirit of servile partnership, but temperately and firmly. As a newspaper Tile WORLD, being the organ of no man, no clique And no interest, will present the fullest and the fairest picture it can make of each day's passing history in the city, the State, the country and the world. It will aim hereafter, as heretofore, at accuracy first of all things in all that it publishes. No man, however humble, shall ever be permitted truly to complain that he has been unjustly dealt with in the columns of THE WORLD. No interest, however powerful, shall ever be permitted truly to boast that it can silence the fair criticism of Tin WORLD. During the past year THE WOULD has seen its daily circulation trebled and its weekly circula tion pushed far beyond that of any other weekly newspaper in the country. This great increase has been won, as THE WORLD believes, by truth fulness, enterprise, ceaseless activity in collecting news and unfaltering loyalty to itself and to its readers in dealing with the questions of the day.
