This is a first outline of the impositions which I shall endeavor to un old and to bring home. The British champion does indeed show ■occlusive!)- that wages have risen in Eng land, relatively and ab olutcly, since the adoption of the free trade policy. To this particular argument Mr. Blaine repiics*as "ollows: Mr. Gladstone makes another contention n which, from th" American point ot view.

The existence of Christmas j I snakes in a "dry'' county is damning ] 1 evidence that tamarac is being smuggled j j across the county border. In Curtin township. Centre county, a , | black snake was killed recently by a r si- j ! dent. Block snakes are not known to f->r- j age at this season of the year, but it i- | j thought that the reptile lost its bearings j j and left it- hole too -oon. Brother Irwin, of the Franklin Acw.s, | happened to mention a day or two before ; Christmas that he had long wanted a con- | cordance of the l'.ible and a pair of extra < suspenders. Early Christmas morning the j concordance came and he hadju^tjrot^j^^ | began to arrive with suspender-, more j ! came by mail, and then more by nics I senpi rs.and when evening came that editor j had 21 j pairs of suspenders, of every size and variety, silk, leather, paper, rop<\ , simple, complex, new and second-hand. Many of them were accompanied by notes —not bank note s—hoping he would have a | "gailows" time and such like friendly ex pressions of interest. Farmer John Macy, of F*niondalc, S. is clearly entitled to the championship for corn husking. He was recently backed for SIOO to husk 100 bus.bals of corn in 7 hours, taking the corn as it stood stacked in the field. He was to pull down the stacks himself and tic and set up the empty sheaves. The weper was acel-pted by a number of persons who considered the tank an impossibility, but farmer Mncy won end had 30 minutes and 6 seconds to spure. He is now looking for the man who assumes to dispute hi.-: - premacy, bat it isn't likely that he will find him. At a lain meeting of th • Allegheny Council the question of abolishing the to" - I gates and turnpikes wa.; discussed. Mr. j Kennedy was in favor of having the City j Solicitor instructed to condemn all the toll j roads.
