There is a project in a few of the larger
towna to raise a capital of $1,000,1100 in
one dollar shares, to erect a rolling mill, to
be run on the co-operative plan. The loca
tion of the place for the work has not been
determined on. The way to find out how
the co-operative, and communistic theories
work whin reduced to practice is to engage
in them. So, if you are in favor ef co-op
eration, j.iin the circle, and show the world j
how to do business. Pay your inonev and i
brcome a stockholder. Communists should
unite iu colonies, and teach the World how i
to conduct business on communistic prin
ciples. One of the most remarkable spectacles in
this country, is that of a act ol rioters, who
stopped men in their honest employment,
and who destroyed property of other peo

0''". getting such a standing in the courts
as to be aoU to maintain a prosecution
against people who would not allow theui to
further pursue their work of destruction.

The Lcaistown Sentinel pubiisned the
following relative ta diphtheria : This dread
ed disease, now epidemic iu McVey town, is
probably as effectively treated by our own
physicians as it can be, and it is not to reflect
upon their skill that we reprint the prescrip
tion ot a London physician, furnished to a
coteuporary, ho says lie incidentally men
tioned it to a lady who sub.iequen tiy treated
four of her children with it turret! ull v.
Here is the prescription : " 1'ut a teaspoon
tul of sulphur of brimstone iu wine-glass
of water. Stir it with the finger. Give as
a gargle. Brimstone kills every species of
fungus iu man, beast or plant. Swallow the
garble in extreme cases. If it cannot be
swallowed, blow it through a quill iuto the
throat."
On Tuesday a week Dr. A. J. Fisher, J.
J. Leidy, I. T. .VeAIister, A. B. Alexander,
Frauk Shields, and Henry Straver, all
Fayette township men, went into tlio i
mountains of .Snyder county, about til'- j
miles north of McAluierville, to hum .
deer. They were successlul in the
aiteruoou iu genii g a deer. J. J. Leiay
a as the fortunate one of the 'com
pany; be it was ho shot the deer. The
aniii-al weighed 1 id pounds wheu dressed.
A number ul' other deer were seeu. and Mr.
Leidy came near getting another one. He
was standing at a crossing. He felt cold,
and concluded to build a small tire to make
himself more comfortable. He leaned his
gun against a tree, and walked about twen
ty yards away to gather pine to kindle afire
itb. While thus engaged a doe came that
way, in short shooting distance. He drop
ped the pine, ran to hia g-u, look it up,
leveled it, and fired, and wounded the deer,
but not severely enough to bring it down.
The animal ran near euougb to Bruce Alex
ander for him to have put in a shot, but
Bruce was busy looking into his victuals
bag for a cap, and of course the deer got
away.
