The experiment of tobacco rais
ing in Forest coanty for a profit is to
be thoroughly tested during the com
ing summer. Mr. Green Ward, a
colored genileman of North Carolinia,
who bas had many years' experience
in tbe cultivation and cure of the
weed, has rented a ten-acre patch on
Mr. C. F. Gilcspie's farm, Whig Hill,
and has already commenced breaking
ground, so to speak, fur the work. Mr.
Ward has his family with bim and is
occupying one of Mr. G.'s houses. He
has unbounded faith in the enterprise,
and believes that there is more good
money in ten acres of land devoted to
tobacco raising, than in five times that
amount devoted to other crops, and
that the soil of this country is as well
adapted to that crop as is North Caro

( A tramp ambled into our office
ono sultry afternoon recently, and
dropping into a doze bad this dream:
This thing beats us ; cant figure it out
at all ; it might as well be a Chiuese
puzzle or a sentence in Volapuk. Here
it is the last of February and wiuter
not begun yet; the grass is actually
growing and the ground so full of
water that it is dangerous to turn the
cattle out to graze for fear they will
disappear through tbe sod. Here's
court-week cut right off before il had
begun; a tbuuder storm last night
that ought to belong to the middle of
next summer; the peach crop in Dela
ware reported so fr.r along that new
peaches will be in order before new
potatoes, and watermelons ahead of
green pees. It'takes the ambition all
out of ono so far as raising early
garden stuff is concerned. It don't
seem to leave much for one's ambi
tion to grow or feed upon. The first
suckers of next spring's catch were
caught list January. But after all it
isn't so much the present that troubles
us as tbe hereafter. Now, for instance,
if the thing runs along as it is the
Summer will sit right down on Spring
and if Wiuter attempts to linger in the
lap of Spring, we'll have Winter
sprawling around over Summer, and
roses and snow, and ice-cream aod
ulsters, and even if winter retires de
cently, or keops retired, Fall will fall
into line somewhere along about the
time potatoes ought to be hoed; Win
ter, Spring, Summer, Autumn dispos
ed of, and about five mouths of the
year left to do somclhiog with, aud
nothing to use it fur. Time is money.
150 days worth no more than Cunfed
erate script. Tbe world seems out of
joint. If science is going to do auy
thiog far us we are ready to have it
done right aluog. We know tho thing
as well as anybody when it comes
along, but we want to know how the
wind up will be. If science can point
with unerring finger lo the end we'd
like her to show her hand.

OBITUARY.
Mrs. Dorothea Elizabeth, wife of
Jacob Wenk, died at ber home in
Tionesta, Pa., Feb. 28, 1800, aged 73
years and 14 days.
A mother in Israel has gone to her
reward. Her desire "to depart and
be with Christ" has been realized, but
she continues to live in the memories
of thoso who knew her. Though ber
laBt days were filled with suffering, on
account of disease of the body, ber
mind was clear and her trust in the
Savior unwavering. Peacefully she
closed her eyes to tbe things of this
world to open them amid the beauties
of tbe glorious world beyond. To her
death had no terrors; it was but the
opening through which she passed into
a higher and better lift'.
Mrs. Wenk bad been in her usual
health, which, for a person of her age,
was very good, until about a month
ago, when she was attacked with tbe
influenza. The disease passed away
but it left her too much reduced in
strength to recover from its effects,
and decease was due largely to ex
haustion. Mrs. Wenk was boru in Roebrta,
Hesse Castle, Germany, Feb. 14,1817,
where she spent the early part of her
life. In 1838 she was married to Mr.
Hartman Lawrence, who lived but a
few years, leaving two children, Mr.
Wm. Lawrence, ex-treasurer of this
county, and Mrs. George Klinestiver,
who died in 1872. Sbo was afterward
married to Mr. Jacob Wenk, who still
survives and with whom she emigrated
to this country in 1847. Of Ihe six
children born to them, three still sur
vive, Mr. G. G. ButteiGeld, Ferdi
nnnd Wenk, of German Hill, and
Jacob E. Wenk, editor of this paper.
Sho has lived in Tionesta since a
short time after she came to this
country, where she leaves a large cir
cle of friends and acquaintances to
mourn their loss. Her quiet, gentle
and winning manner, her upright con
sistent christian life has endeared ber
to all who came in contact with ber.
She was a member of the Church of
Christ for 59 years, having united with
the German Reformed church when
she was but 14 years of age; at the
time of her death she was a member of
the Bartholomew Congregation, on
German Hill.
The family of the deceased has the
heartfelt sympathy of the entire com
munity in their Bore bereavement;
twice within one month the messenger
of death bas entered the household.
But we sorruw not as those who have
no hope. "Bo ye also ready,"
The funeral services were held at
ber late residence, Rev. J. V. Mc
Aninch officialing, and her body was
laid to rest in Riverside Cemetery to
wait the resurrection morn.

The following item from on ex
change is a pieee of valuable informa
tion to our borough just at this
juncture when the feasibility of
getting a stone crusher is being dis
cussed. Tbe pounded stono which
was placed upon our principal street
last summer has fully and thoroughly
demonstrated to every one during this
winter that that is the proper method
to continue :
"The town of Sweden, Mouroe
county, owns a stone crusher and
hires men by the day to run it. Last
year the town appropriated 82,000 to
crush stone, and to make a rough
guess think the 82,000 worth of crush
ed stone enough to make five miles of
perfect road. They Bet the crusher
ocar stone which is donated, tho town
pays for hauling stone to the crusher
and pays for crushing It; the road dis
tricts go and get the crushed stone and
lay it. Each road district and indi
vidual is anxious to get the stone, aud
then that money thus expended goes
ten times as far as any other io mak
ing highways. In the last three years
the town of Sweden bas made about
20 miles of roadso &ood that a team
can haul as large a load in this open,
muddy winter, as in summer. The land
is clay, and roads 'not laid with stone
or gravel are simply fearful. It would
pay a person to go a long distance to
see what has been dono to tbo roads
in the town of Swoduu."

The farewell letter of the Hickory
correspondent has set me to thinking.
I cannot agreo with the idea therein
expressed, that it is a thankless task
writing for publication. On the con
trary it is the object of this letter to
6et before the people of Forest coun
ty some of the peculiar rewards of a
correspondent; rewards not pectin
pecuniary, perhaps, but the mental, or
moral satisfaction, if you please, which
one feels on seeing the childreu of bis
brain so beautifully expressed. For
instance, I write: "John Smith was in
towu to day with a load 'of wood and
was also pretty well loaded with hard
cider." My letter as printed reads :
"We were pleased to uotice the smil
ing countenance of our enterprising
young friend, John Smith, in town to
day." I writs: "Tom Brown has
been hanging around tbe refineries for
a month and bas at last got a job un
loading coal." The letter reads:
"Tom Brown has accepted a position
with tbe Warren Oil Co." Do you see,
friends.what a moral satisfaction there
is in it T You can't go wrong; you can
sheer the churches; cut the Prohibi
tionists, or etab tbe Democrats, and
your letter will read (if it appears at
all) as gentle as a lamb. If it dun't
appear, look on the second page and
you will see a harmless looking two
liner, "Other correspondence crowded
out cf this issue." As for spelling
aud punctuation ; I write of a case of
"Neumonia," and am surprised to see
it appenr beginning with a "P". It's
the same disease with a different diag
nosis. I usually add an assorted
batch of punctuation marks at the
end of my letter and they come out in
the right place every time. So cheer
up, friends, aud send in your letters.
You need not lose a night's sleep
thinking you have offended any one,
for there is no other occupation with
so many safe guards thrown around it
as writiug fur tho press. X

Why, O, whorofore, will men persist In
the degrading, disgusting and beastly habit
of getting drunk? Or, if they must pot
drunk, why don't they sneak ofr some
place and hide from the sight of men?
Uavo they no shame, no self-respeet, no
decency T Do they not know that tho
sight of a drunken man has a demoraliz
ing effect upon tho whole community, that
the besotted individual violutes the laws
of his own being and scandalizes tho race
to which he belongs? Wo would like to
see drunkenness so odious in tho sight of
men that a man would rather be caught
stealing sheep than reeling along tho
street with his hido full of booze. Puux.

in the months of May aud July, ISfle,
