My farm is increasing in productiveness from year to year, and, although it is small, I have made a good living from it while my neighbors have been crying about hard times.

I After the regular business of the evening ' had been disposed of, Sec'v Wise stated I that he and City Engineer McQoistion h'd : gone over Main street and had made the i following rongh estimate of the different parts ot' the street. The total estimated cost of that part of the street between Wayne street on the South and North street on the North, including paving, curbing, iron castings, engineering, and treasurer's one per cent will be very near $24,000, of which the town will pay one third, leaving about #1(5,000 to be paid by assessment. Ttie feet front (both sides) is 3,115, and the cost per foot front will be a little over $5. The total estimated cost of that part of the paved street, North of North street, —not including the two big culverts —is $25,000, the frontage is 4,406 ft. which will make the cost about $3.80 per foot front, and if the culverts are put in - iinething over $4 per foot. The total estimated cost of the street between Wayne and yirarry is $4,000, the frontage 733 feet, and estimated cost per foot front $4.20. From yuarry to the bridge the cost is $1,575, the frontage 2KS, ard estimated cost per foot front $3.75. The entire cost of the street, exclusive of culverts is estimated at $54,807.18, the borough's third $18,269. and tbo amount to be raised by assessment •■*30,538. Mr. Osborn's bill for the two culverts will be about $1,300. The total frontage is 8,.">44 feet, total length of paved street 4,978 feet (or but 302 feet less than a mile); number of square yards of paving 25,814, number of feet of curbing, 10.871. Quite a number of contractors were pres ent with their bids on the I'ranklin street, Walnut street, and Centre avenue sewers, and the bids were read On the 1200 feet of 8 inch sewer to be put down on Frank lin street the bids ranged from 49$ cents a foot to 75 cts.; those on the 500 feet of 8 inch for Waluut street ranged 79 to 99 ets. and those on the 200 feet of 24 inch on Centre avenue from $1.35 to $2.25 per foot. The Sewer Committee and City Engineer examined the bids and reported that Mc- Poland A- Graham's bid of $839 for Frank lin street; Ott Bros. * of $462 for Walnut street, and E. F. Hughes' 0f5337.56 for the Center avenue sewers were the lowest, and on motion the contracts were awarded to these parties. A petition signed by S. 11. Piersol, Fred Kliugler and others regarding the drainage of a certain alley on the S. S. was read, and referred to the Ist Ward Councilmen with power to act. Jno. McQ.

Quarry street asked for a sidewalk, and the matter was referred to the Sidewalk Committee. The bills of the viewers on Howard, Oak, and Bluff streets and Centre avenue were approved, at $1.50 per daj*. Mr. Forquer reported that he and Mr. Schenck had had a talk with Co. Comm'rs regarding the approaches to the new bridge, and that they, on account ol the wording of the law, preferred paying a round sum as part of the expense rather than live up to the agreement of the former board to build the wingwalls and let the borough do the fillling. The Commission ers offered a thousand dollars, but as thu one wingwall neoied immediately will contain nearly 500 perches of masonry and cost over $1,500. the Conncil thought the county ought to pay at least that amount, and refused to accept the offer. Mr. Schenck complained of Long d* Doyle not being at work on the W. Jeffer son street paving, and as the firm has not yet contracted for that street they are to be notified to do so immediately or tho contract will be given to another.

An amateur bee-keeper in a neighboring county learn.- a tbing or two every day. Among other valuable lessons was this: While working his hot-footed pets one day he clumsily up- t a liive. He was shielded by netting and loose overalls and could watch with amusement the frantic jabbing of the 10.000 bees that covered hi* anatomy. After a moment, however, he stoobed thoughtfully to pick up the hive. Then it was that the bees were amused. The loose overalls were drawn tight by the stooping process, and the bee-keeper could not sit down and enjoy himself for two weeks. The oldest harvester we have heard of this summer is "uncle" John Hamilton, wbojives near Ueorgeville, East Mahon ing. He is in his 84th year. Yesterday be made a good hand in the field, as he had done for several days past.

Upstairs above the kitchen was their sleeping room, and under the bed were two loaded gnus, one a Win chester rifle. Their little son, aged three years and seven months, got out of bed, and seeing the gun, took the Winchester rifle, and dragging it it across the floor by the stock, in some manner discharged the weapon. The deadly ball passed in a slanting direction through the floor and ceiling and struck the father on the right side of the head, penetrating the brain, and causing his death in about two hours after. The lamentations of his wife were heartrending as she stood by her d_ving husband. While Joshua Wright und grandson, a son of L. G. Linn, ol' Uutler, wero return ing from a trip to Air.

The congregation of 300 were considerably shocked and rattled, but instead of yielding to panic they joined in a prayer of thanks given and were then dismissed with a ben ediction. At Erie, last Thursday, Rev. Sutherland was found guilty of sending obscene mat ter through tho mails. That was a funny incident in the Carbon county jail last Tuesday when the prisoners refused to clean their cells on the ground that they considered the work beneath thein. It was a most unique strike, so to speak, and tho iusubordinates only came to terms when they were placed in solitary confinement on bread aud water. William Strauh and Miss Kate Schutzen, Herman F. Schutzen and Miss MarieStraul", of Allegheny, were married the other day by Alderman Briuker. The Straubs are brother and sister,and so are the Sehutzens. Their fathers were for may years in partner ship in tho dairy business, but a few mouths ago dieit. The business wa< in a fair way to go to pieces when friends sug gested that the young folks should marry and continue tho dairy as of yore. The bridal pairs told the Alderman they had not thought of that schemo until the out Riders suggested it, but they were con vinced now that it would bo a* good plan. And so they were married.

HOME COMFORT STEEL RANGES. Among the many new advertise ments iu *his week's issue of The Ohio /•'ariifjr, will be found one with illustration ol the "Home Comfort steel ruuge" manufactured only by tho Wrought Iron Range Company of St Louis, Mo. This company, established in 18G4 is the largest range manufactory in the world and has a paid up capital of $500,000,00; its stability and standing in the commercial world is beyond question. Some idea may be had as to the amount of business done by it, by considering the following figures for a moment: In making Home Com forts there are used annually 225,000 pounds of copper, 3,000,000 pounds of the finest quality of open hearth steel, 4,G00,000 pounds of the best malleable iron that can be made, 1,325,000 pounds of grates, red plates and fire linings, $36,000.00 worth of asbestos mill board, $5,000 00 worth of rivets.and $3,000 00 of bolts. In their making and sale there are employed nearly 1,500 men, mostly men of families receiving prompt and liberal compensation for their tervices, many of them for years trusted and faithful employees and enjoying the confidence of the com pany to the fullest extent The pay roll reaches the enormous sum of nearly $1,000,000,000 per anuum. The factory and offices cover an entire block, giving a floor space of 14,000 square feet, making it the largest establishment of its kind in the world. So great is the demand for Home Comforts that this immense factory is taxed to its fullest capacity to Gil its orders. It is not always what the manufacturer says of bis goods that sells them, but what others say as to their merits. This accounts for Home Comforts finding their way to European, African, Australian, South American markets and in fact all over tho earth. The family size ranges are sold only from wagons owned by the company, and should any of the salesmen be in your county do not let them pass without examin ing and seeing the many points of superiority of the ranges both in workmanship aud material used iu their construction. Every range is fully guaranteed.— The Ohio Farm er For Sale. Alex. Williams has still six second band Organs, almost new, left, that he will sell at a bargain— ie. from $25 to $45, in easv payments.
