What Shall we Eat?
There have been sometimes ques
tionings of what the raee ot* mankind
would do when this or that great
supply should be exhausted.
Once, there was some alarm lest
we should be left in dim obscurity in
the course of a generation or so, be
cause the whales were becoming
scarce and very evasive. But long
before the last whale had made his
final plunge under the ice of Bell
ring's Straits, or dodged harpoons
around the jutting points of Van
Comers' Islands, tin* deep earth be
gan to pour out her treasures of oil
in many new and unexpected places;
with such wonderful abundance that
there seems now a prospect of being
able to get up illuminations in A.
D. 2000.
A few years ago, some calculating
philosopher estimated that if the
population of the earth went on at
its present rate of increase for a very
few hundred years, there would not
be room for them all. The vast
regions of the west, all the hitherto
uncultivated places would fail to
produce enough for so many people,
and we should scon begin to crowd
each other personally.
But already there are indications
of new and untried sources of supply.
It is reported that sugar , has been
made chemically; without an v sweet
vegetable juices, at a cost much less
than it ever was betore; about 50
cts. per hogshead. Not that they
made it in that quantity yet, but
that it could be made for that price.
Butter also, it is said, is made from
animal fat, quite as good as tiiat
made from milk and much cheaper.
Why may we not hope that other
similar discoveries will follow. That
bread and meat, that whatever is
necessary to sustain life and health,
may be created from the gases and
the simple substances in earth and
air; the substances that are every
where, or that come with the winds,
with the changes of the atmosphere
and that are themselves supplied by
all matter that lias lived its life out
served its uses in its present form
and is decomposed by lire or air or
some, form of decay, that is merely
chemical change.
Should these discoveries go on
there need no more be scarcity of
food or fuel; famine need no longer
slay its thousands, even in Persia—
for there too must exist the simples
of which the earth is made and all
things that grow upon it.
ONE great cause of our satisfac
tion and enjoyment in reading stories
is, that they are free from the miser
able misconstructions and misunder
standings that are perpetually get
ting in our way in real life.
When people say tilings in stories
they convey as a general tiling, the
ideas they intended to convey.
Whosoever listens understands and
replies to the meaning of the speaker
instead of to some imaginary thought
wholly at variance with it, as is the
case very generally in our every day
intercourse. It is wonderful, consid
ering how many ways there are of
misunderstanding the simplest state
ments, that the truth is ever come at
by "taking testimony." Witnesses
must have their idiosyncrasies, their
peculiarities of thought and of ex
pression. How many times, I won
der do they clearly convey by their
testimony the actual state of things
described! For as it is said to take
two to make a slander—one to relate
and one to hear, it certainly takes
two or more to understand anything
or tell it again without changing the
meaning and how very seldom can
any two do it, even with the best in
tentions, the sincerest desire to be
truthful.
We see with the faculties given to
\is. We hear according to onr own
capacities; and the ideas which we
receive and remember are composed
of the words that fall on our ears,
shaped and colored by our own
peculiarities. So shaped and colored,
often, that he who spoke the words
would not recognize them if he could
see the image that they form in our
minds.
One philosopher has said that tra
dition is the truest history. If this
be so, it must be that the many
mouths that repeat, correct each
others' variations, as a river with all
its sinuosities, makes one general
course from the mountains to the
ocean.
YELLOW FEVER is decreasing. In
Memphis it is passing away and they
need, for that, no further pecuniary
assistance, though help fur those left
orphans and those thrown out of
business is still desired. The fever is
spreading in Texas and other plices
much in Georgia, but it is hoped
that the cold weather will prevent its
being very extensive. The early se
verity of the weather this fall is
doubtless a great blessing by its
checking this terrible disease.

THE recent cold weather and snow
has brought great numbers of robins
around our houses ami gardens,
1 picking at the remains of fruits, crab
apples, mostly. They seem to nave
been as unprepared as we humans .
for the sudden ending of the fine
weather and to have all their prep- i
arations for their southern trip yet to ;
make,
A MOVEMENT is making to unite
the towns in New Jersey lying near
New York City under one city gov
ernment. It is said that while space
is greater, population will be nearly
as great as in the city of New York
itself.
"WHEN* the swallows homeward
fly"—they set a good example. Quite j
a number of our Coudersport estrays
have returned within the last week.
Glad to sec them.

HERE is a friendly notice of an old
; friend taken from the Elmira Adver
tiser. Having known Alfred in his
! infancy and early youth, with a good !
' deal of sympathy for and interest in
him, we like to hear of his success
and prosperity now that he has !
grown to be an "University."
Alfred University is one of the j
largest and best conducted institu
tions of the kind in Western New
York. The school was lirst founded
in December, 1836. Academy incur-!
porated January 31st, 1843. Uni
versity incorporated March 28th,
1-857, and organized for operation
April 15th, following, Ilev. Bethuel
C. Church was chosen as Principal
of the school in 1836, succeeded by
Ilev. James 11. Irish, A. M, in 1837,
who was in turn succeeded by the
well-known late Rev. William C. j
Kenyon, A. M., who remained as
principal and president of the institu
tion until impaired hcnl'Ji obliged
him to resign in 1865. To his inde
fatigable and well directed labors,
during a period of twenty-seven con
i secutive years, are we at present
mainly indebted for one of the larg
est, best and most flourishing educa
tional institutions of the land. Ilev.
Jonathan Allen, A, M, succeeded to
the presidency of the University in j
186<>, which position lie still con
tinues to fill with marked ability,
popularity and success, lie is as
sisted by Miss Charlotte E. Dowse,
A. M., preceptress and an able corpse
of above twenty teachers.
And another, good for our neigh
bor over the border, especially the
Temperance Record. The Wellsville !
Times says:
We paid a visit to Friendship
Lodge of Good Templars Saturday j
evening last, and have no hesitancy !
in pronouncing it the banner Lodge
of the County. Notwithstanding the '
heavy rain which fell during the en
tire evening, there was a good atten
dance of members, and a determina
tion manifested to make their Lodge
a power in the village, for the good
of the Temperance cause. Long |
may it wave. Friendship is one of
those steady go-a-head towns. Im
provements of all kinds can be seen
upon every house. The new foum ry
buildings are up and it will not be
j long before Friendship will be bid
ding lor some of Wellsville's best
customers. There is not a licensed
hotel or drug store for the sale of!
the in'oxicant in town, but if out
eyes did not deceive us,there is nolaw
in force against a man carrying a red
nose. When we left home it was our i
intention to visit every place ot busi
ness and interest in the village, but
the rain which came down in torrents |
a 1 the afternoon kept us within ;
doors. We were invited into the
carriage factory of Mr. Geo. Tomp
kins and shown some beautiful bug
gies, of his own manufacture. Mr.
T. has built up at ice trade, and as
he is a man who can be implicitly
relied upon, we would advise our!
readers to call upon George if any
thing is wanted in his line. Baxter,
the "irrepressible," still flourishes!
and the citizens appreciate their hav- j
ing such a man among them. Bax ■
ter is to Friendship what the Tan
neries are to Wellsville. The village
is a pleasant one and the inhabitants
are social and kind. We wish both
a long and prosperous future.
Railroad. Interosts.
Colonel Thomas A. Scott, since
h.s return from Europe, has been in
terviewed by a correspondent of the
New York Tribune. He stated that ;
the loan of $10,000,000 for the Penn
sylvania Railroad Company was ne- i
gotiated by the company's bankers
in London, a few days before the
present financial revulsion began.
The Pennsylvania was therefore in
excellent condition to meet its re
quirements. The panic was entirely
unexpected and unlocked for abroad.
It would have been difliyult to raise j
so large an amount on terms so fa
vorable on any American securities i
after the outbreak of the panic. |
With reference to the Texas and Pa-1
eilic railway he had not been so lbr- j
tunate. He had not been able to
close successfully negotiations for a ;
sale of bonds, but obtained financial:
aid, so that work on the road will
not be discontinued. The work need- j
ful to build the road within the lim
its of the requirements of Congress!
and the State of Texas will be contin- :
tied by the company. The effect of j
the recent panic was to stop the sale j
of the bonds of American railroads!
in Europe for the present Tins j
condition ol things lie believed to be |
merely temporary and he thought!
ihere would soon lie a ready sale for
bonds as well secured as those of >hc !
Texas Pacific Railway. The com-j
pany now have about three hundred
miles of completed road in operation, |
built solely from means raised by in-!
dividuals, and have not as yet dis
posed of any of their bonds, nor do
they intend to sell at anytime ex-j
cept upon completed line, thus giv
ing an absolute property in winking
order as security to purchasers of I
bonds.
One of the leading officers of the j
Pennsylvania Railroad company was
questioned by the same correspond-!
eiit relative to the financial Condition '
of tlie road and the extent to which j
it is affected by the present revulsion,
lb- stated that the loan ofslo,ooo,ooU
recently negotiated in Europe had
made* matters easy in a monetary |
way. Of course, the business of the
road was aff'ecte* by the panic. There
was no class or kind of business in i
the country that was not affected by
it more or less. The business of the \
Pennsylvania Railroad was affected
much less, however, than might nat- \
nrally be supposed from the general .
condition of affairs.— Philadelphia
Press.
HALLOWE'EN is deplored as having 1
lost its charm or charms in these j
latter days. The Express says:
We doubt very much if a single
young woman in Buffalo looked in
the glass last night after her future
husband; we are certain at any rale!
that she didn't see hiiu. Nor have*
we beard of an\ body's bobbing for
apples and even the Woman in Black,
who ought to have been out last
night if she has any regard for the
poetical proprieties, kept in-doors.
Ev rything was stupid and common- j
place as ever. One of the old rites
of llallowekn was to wet a stocking,!
hang it up before the fire to dry and
lie in bed watching it until midnight
when the apparition of your future
partner would turn up. There were
many near approaches to theobser-l
vanee ot this rite in this city last
night, but tlie slight di tie ranee was
just that st p between the sublime
and the ridiculous that is so easily
taken. We did as Brown did, who
wet liis stockings badly and hung
them up before the tire to dry. But
he didn't go to bed and wait for
them to dry, or to see his future j
partner because he had another pair;
of clean ones and liis present partner
made him get into them very quick
ly, so as not to keep dinner waiting, j
And he didn't set up to watch those
stockings at all; he just let them
dry and at midnight he lay,like Mar-!
co Bozzaris, "dreaming of the hour,"
and if his future "pardner" appeared
at twelve, she must have been some
what chagrined at his indifference,
to say the least.
MERCER county elects a Democrat
ic member of the Legislature for the
first time in many years. This was
owing to a light on the whiskey ques
tion. The Republican candidate, it
was charged, favored the liquor sel
lers while the Democratic candidate
was an active temperance man. He
was a mi mber of the last Democratic
convention and told tlie convention
if they put a whiskey plank in their
platform, their ticket would not get
a single vote in that county. The
Democrats of Mercer county are very
far in advance of their party in the
balance of the State.— Hearer llad
ical.
THINGS are looking more hopeful
in France:
PARIS, Oct 31.—M. DE Chesnelong
received a letter from Count de
Cbambord on Sunday last, lie im
mediately returned it to the Count
and wrote to him, repeatedly urging
liiui to modify it, hut without avail,
the Count insisting on its publication
verbatim and it is reported that in
consequence of the position main
tained by the count, all hopes of the
restoring of the monarchy have been
abandoned.
In his letter the Count said he
was the man—the pilot, who could
save the nation; and perhaps he is,
if it needed but his willful action to
break up the plans for restoring the
monarchy.

A I'HOCI-AMATI.JN.
The approaching close of another year
brings with it tlie occasion for renewed
thanksgiving and acknnwli dgnieut to
the Ahuig .ty Ruler of the universe foi
the uuuunibnt d mercies which he has
bestow*d upon us. Abundant harvests
iutye In en among the rewards of indus
try. With local exceptions, health uas
beet, among the okssffigsei.j yvd. Tran
quility at home ai d pra e with othei
nations law pr vailed. Frugal indus
try is regaining its ineiited recognition
and its m riled rewards. Gradually,
but under toe providenee of God surely,
as we trust, the nation is recovering
from the lingering result of a dreadful
civil strife. For these, and all the oth
er mercies vouchsafed, it becomes us as
a jieople to return heartfelt and grate
ful acknowledgments, and, with oui
thanksgiving, we may unite prayers for
the cessation of local and temporary
suffering.
I therefore recommend t hat on Thurs
day, the loth day of November next,
the jieople meet in their respective places
of worship to make aeknowl. dgnieut to
Almighty God for His bounties and His
protection, and to offer to Him prayers
for their continuance.
