The attention of New York state
olergymen Is called to tho law passed at

to the neighbors and friends for kindness
and sympathy shown In this bereave
ment. A torpsichorean maestro announces
that the jig, in dancing, is to again become
fashionable. The gooso-like movements
of the two or three-step as the case may
be, are to be supplanted by the good old
fashioned jig the jig lhat makes young
people neat, graceful and quick in their
footwork. Modern dancing tends to
awkwardness as if the dancers were
moving about on wooden legs having
slifT hinges instead of joints. Pigeon

no freedom or grace aro to be tabooed and

through which they have been called up
on to pass during the week. On Friday
last, Kith inst., their bright little daugh
ter, Grace, was relieved from earthly
pain and suffering by the Death Angel.
Sho had been ill but a fow days from ap
pendicitis, and on the day prior to her
death an operation had been performed
pi the hope of saving her life, but her
physicians, Drs. Dunn and Detar, found
such acomplicatlon of trouble that they
had small hope of the child's recovery,
although she rallied woll from the opera
tion and for a time the symptoms seemed
quite favorable. The child was aged 11
years, and was a bright, winsome and
"lovable little girl, who had endeared her
self to all who knew hor, and the neigh
bors and friends share in the grief that
has overtaken the fond parents in her
taking away. Funeial sei vices were con
ducted at the home at Golinza by Rev.
Mr. Shindlmlecker, and the interment
was in the Presbyterian cemetery at Ty
lersburg. The sermon was especially
beautiful and touching. The lloral offer
ings were many and vory beautiful.

Letter lo U. O. Uastou.
Tionesta, Pa,
Deal Sir . Good yarn : How we got our
agent at Delhi, N. Y.
Gladstone &, Paine were agents for
; we mustn't tell names. We
wanted 'em. Paine was painting his big
colonial house. Said It took 111 gallons 0
white for the trim.
We sent him 10 gallons and said: If
you get it all on, uo pay ; if you have any
left, return it and pay fur the rest.
Agreed.
He returned four gallons and took the
agoncy. Four or live years ago. He
knows now that bis old paint was and is
adulterated; that's why it took ten gal
lons to equal six of ours.
Go by the name : there is but oue name
to go by ; Devoo-lead-and-zinc.
Yours truly,
