Tho Altoona Tribune of the 20th inst., re
marks .- There is a good deal of talk during
these days about "blue laws." Most of the
so-called blue laws of this country are
meant to restrain men from making beasts
of themselves on Sunday, and their restric
tive influence is never felt by sober, well
btbaved citizens. Boston, however, has
one genuine blue law, a survival of the
days of religious intolerance. Under its
provisions on Wednesday last, Rev. W. F.
Davis was fined $50 for preachiug on Bos

"It has been the impression tbat pension

the subject says that pension money due
or to become due is not lubie to levy un

snail inure wholly to the benefit of such

this provision applies only to the funds
while it is in tbe com so of transmission
from the Government to the pensioner.

An exchange paper puts it this way. We
presume that souio people think newspaper
men are persistent duns ; let a farmer
place himself in a similar position and soo
it be would not do tbe same- Suppose
tbat he raises one thousand bushels of corn
and bis neigboor should come and buy a
bushel and the price was only the small
only tbe small sum of oue dollar, or less,
aud the neighbor says : "1 will pay you
the amount in a few day." As the farmer
does not want to be small about tbe matter
h-i savs. "All rieht." Another comes in
the same way until the whole one thousand
bushels are trusted to one thousand d lifer
ent persons and not one of tha purchasers
concerns himself about it, for it is a small
amount tbey owe the farmers, and of course
that will not help him any. He does not
realize that the laxmer bas frittered away
his large crop of corn, and tbat Its value is
due in a thousand little driblets, and tbat
be is seriously embarrassed in his busines s
because his debtors treat it as a little mat
ter.

- Fire In Patterson.
A fire broke out this, Tuesday morning,
about half-past 6 o'clock, in the general
supply room of the P. R. R. Company's ma
chine shop in Patterson, and before tbe
flames were subdned the northern annex of
the building, containing the general supply
rooms, carpenter shop and office of the shop
was completely destroyed, and the main
shop narrowly escaped destruction, being
saved only by the efforts of the Fire Com
pany with tbe aid of their engine. Tba
alarm was given immediately on the dis
covery of the fire, and the Fire Company
after grat difficulty succeeded in getting
their engine throngh tbe shop yard to tbe
river shore, and at two minutes after six a
strong stream of water was being played on
tbe burning building. The slow and appar
ently bungling movements of the manage
ment of tbe fire company were severely crit
icised by lookers-on, out they were unjust,
considering the difficulties they were con
tending with. Tbe loss will fall upon the
railroad company, excepting that of a lot
of fine tools owned by ex-Sheriff Dietrich,
which were in tha burned building. Tba
tire is believed to have originated by spon
taneous combustion.

American Farmers.
Probably in no country in tbe world is
there to be found a state of intellectual ad
vancement among the people who till the
soil, equal to thai which exists among our
ative American Farmers. Some causes
of this are manifest. The tiller of Euro
pean soil seldom owns his land, and it re
quires constant vigilance and unremitting
toil on the part of biuiself and his whole
family to pay rents and "make both ends
meet," leaving no time to gratifiy any
wants above the stomach. Ou the other
band our native Western farmers are main
ly gentlemen of comparative leisure, wbo
till their own land and carry on agricultur
al industries with as much ease and far less
worrimer.t of mind thin our city men con-
dad their business. The farmers sons and
daughters have ail the educational advan
tages tbat are to be bad in our entire con n-
try, and it ia long since a well established
fact that the ablest and most success! u
business men to be found in our citios are
tbe sons of American farmers. Pick ou
of any city one hundred young men and
maidens, let me select an eiual number of
ssrae age among our intelligent farmers
aons and daughters, and I will guarantee
as to the latter, minds better filed with
general information. The chief reason is
tbat the latter spend their long winter
evenings in storing their minds with useful
knowledge, while tba former waste their
time in various fashionable forms of amuse
ment, whore tbe highest intellectual achieve
mcnt is to be well np in talk American

Scrofula
Is ons of the most fatal scourgew which
afflict mankind. It U often inherited,
but may be the result of improper Tacci
rialion, mercurial poison, uncleanliness,
and various other causes. Chronic Sores,
Ulcers, Abscesses, Cancerous Humors,
and, in some cases, Emaciation and Con
sumption, result from a scrofulous condi
tion of the Mood. This diseaao can ba
cured by tbe use of Ayer's Sarsapariila.
I inherited ascrofulous condition of tho
