The importance of recommending a good article of any kind by an attractive way of pottiagnp receives constant illustration tn daily experience. A quart of strawberries will sell much quicker and at a better price in a neat, clean box, than in a dirty old one. And the same is true of all farm products. Let our farmer wive pot their batter tin in nice rol's. and they will have no trouble in finding a ready sale for it Good quality, a fair price, honest measure and attractive packages are the four prime conditions of quick sales and permanent customers. mom John II.

On the night of the 4th between tbe hours of 10 and 11, flames were seen issuing from a barn on tbe b ill over on tbe Fayette side, be longing to John A. Walker of this plare. which resulted in tbe entire destruction of tbe building and all its contents. Mr. Sam uel Conway, the tenant on tbe property, with his entire family, were in town help ing to celebrate the 4th and had left no one on the premises, and were on tbeir way home when they first discovered tbe fire, but could not reach it in time to save either the building or any of its contents. There was about a ton of old bay in the barn where tbe fire seemed to have originated. Mr. Walker ha.l but little property in the bam ontsi de of the bay, a bone hay , rake, some buckwheat and a few other articles of Ics value, but Mr. Conway had nearly all bis farming implements including his wagon and harness stored away ia the bnilding and consequently all was distroyed. This is a hard blow on Mr. C , as it will cause bim no little inconvenience to replace tbe'n. There was no live stock except a few chickens in tbe building. The bam was insured to the amount of Sl.COO dollars. It must have been the work of an incendiary, i Tbe celebration and entertainment in tbe public park on tbe 4th. under the auspices of the M. E. Church, was a success. Tbe day being a very pleasant one, the people came from tar and near and swelled the crowd Into proportion, unusually large for this place. At the grove, east of town, there was also a basket picnic and plenty of dancing, es pecially in the evening. In the park tbe forenoon was taken up by speech making, one of the most unen joy able exercises to young folks tbat could be placed upon the program, nnless some distinguished man or speaker is announced, it distracts more than it adds to the occasion. The speeches made npon this occasion failed to attract tbe peo ple except perhaps one made in the after noon, by Prof. Pively, of Meyersdale. whb-h was listened to with seeminglr more inter est The afternoon, with the exception of tbe one speech referred to, was taken up by a number of dialogues, orations, music, Solns, Quartette Ac. by the young folks, who aid themselves credit except in s-nne of the songs, in which they did not come up to time. There are some very creditable per formers here. The evening was beautiful and the largest baloon ever brought to this place, was sent op and closely watched by many eyes until it disappeared in tbe distance. It roee almost perpendicular. There was also a display of fire works, much to the amuse ment of tbe yoong hopefuls. One of the most remarkable features was tbe very good order tbat prevailed all day. X. BlOTHEESVALLCT ITEMS. Miss Emma Scbrock, who hss been at tending school at Huntingdon is at home spending her summer vacation. The yoong lady looks as though the climate of Hun tingdon agreed with her. A good per cent of area of the hay crop has been cut and stored away in good con dition, but on account of tbe late spring and dry and cold June, the crop will be tbe shortest harvested for some years. Tbe weather in Brothenvallcy is extreme ly dry, and has been so for tbe past three weeks. No rain of any kind for a month, and besides the weather.is cool, and at times cold enough to require an overceat and mit tens during tbe day. Last week the only cow of Sol. 8. S pauper was killed by the engine on the Buffalo Val ley Railroad. Tbe cow was running at large and bad to seek for pasture wherever she could find It, and consequently was caught on forbidden ground. The Fourth of July was celebrated at Ber lin by a picnic in Kimmell's grove. A large platform was erected, on which both old and young participated in tbe heel and toe exer cise. T'lis was an innovation for Berlin, and what awkward movements some did make. Miss .Lizzie, daughter of Josiah Poorbaneh intends starting shortly to Japan dn a mis sionary toar. Miss Lizzie is leaving a beau tiful home and legions of friends, and sacn Being her own life to respond to a higher calling for tbe advancement of buiuanity. May Miss Lizzie be rewarded ten-fold in this world and a hundred fold in the world to come for her labors of love, is the desire of Now and Then. J. G. Gardili, the owner of the Ed. Mu maw farm, has a novel and entirely origin al way of uncoverinc limestone. Tbe lime stone on his farm are covered with earth to tbe depth of sixteen feet. He had holes drilled down to the limestone, using at one time twenty-five kegs of powder, and he un earthed lime sufficient to cultivate the farm for years, in less' time than it will take you to say " Jack Rabbit" The closing exercises of tbe Eerlin Normal took place in tbe Brethren Cbureh. on tbe evening of tbe 2ith ult The exercises con sisted of music, declamations, recitations, essays, orations and valedictory. Prof. Ber key knows bow to leach a good school, and also how to get up an interesting entertain ment, and these closing exercises would have done honor to a school of a much higher name tliau the Berlin Normal. The examination! held. by Superintendent Weller at Berlin hist week was one of the most practical examinations your corres pondent ever bad tne pleasure of attending. Any fool can get up a lot of knotty catch 1 questions, but to prepare a list or practical questions by which a superintendent can judge tbe qualifications of fifty different ap plicants, certainly takes a man of sound jndgraentripe scholarship, and good com mon sense, and or this latter cuss our cu- tat fa , Wr tvKimen The lecture delivered in tbe Brethren Church by Col. Copeland on Handsome People" was well attended by our towns folk. Tbe lecture is the best of tbe three your correspondent bad the pleasure of lis tening to by Col. Copeland. But a lecturer talking too often at the same place will lcee his freshness, and I would suggest tbat the committee on lectures would next time em ploy another man. For instance, let them ret Burdette to relate the " Rise and Fall of tbe Mustache" to the people of Berlin. I am very sure II would please everybody. ' A very sad accident occurred last week, on the premises of Mr. R. C Randia, who is erecting a new distillery, ; Tbe architect, J. C. Swartsendrnber, who ia one of tbe best mechanics in tbe county, had the rafters pat np without fastening them, in order to plumb them afterward. While working on tbe last set a gast of wind came along and the entire twenty-six set were blown over, striking Mr. 8. and breaking his jaw, smash Ing one of his legs to a jelly, and otherwise severely bruising him. Several other work men .barely escaped serious injury. This is a caution that no difference how good and experienced a mechanic a man is, it is al ways best to maze everything sore and sale as you go along. ' Xow asd The.
