The lirsl •onvielion under the law
forbidding the sale of cigarettes to
children has been had in Brooklyn,
and the otiender has been compelled

mid it ought to put a stop to die de
moralizing practice of cigarette
smoking among boys, or at least to
I give it a decided check.
! It is reported that John L. Sulli
van will be the nominee ofthe Dem

I show the people of the world the
(honor they esteem him seek to thrust
j upon liini the highest ollice in their

'better adapted to pint a proclamation
in force than he would lie to write it.

convince the public that they repre

In these days when boating on
Lake Mokoma is a daily occurrence,
and frequently by young gentlemen
and ladies for pleasure, they should
be warned of the danger of rising

are of frequent occurrence. The
boat thrown oil' its balance become- 1
capsized and all maj be plunged into

load of logs to be brought back to
the city from down the liver will
reach here in a few days. Evcr_>
exertion is being made to get logs
here promptly and it will be gratify
ing to hear when they have coin-'
inenced 1o reach the boom. The
mills have lost a month and a half of
the line >eason for sawing,and every
day additional that they are forced
to stand still for want of logs redu
ce the stock to he manufactured.
The entire city i.- interested and is
anxious to see the saws in motion at
the earliest day possible.— Gazette

A minor has been tried and con

in his haying represented himself as
being of age lor the purpose of pro
curing liquor where it had been de
nied him because he was believed to

a nominal fine and payment of costs.
There «an be no question but scores
I mid hundreds of boys are continually
j doing the tame thing in order to

j taloon keepers everywhere were to
jdo whit was done in Pittsburg where
such a person presents himselt.
i It is rumored that there are five

The ollice of Sheriff of Sullivan, is
quoted as being the poores', paid for
the work done of any in the gilt of
' lie people. For the reason that he
is obliged to bo on duty twelve
months in the year, which only af
fords him employment about one
third of the time while County Com
missioner receives a compensation
for work actually done and is to no
expense for 10.-s time. This being
a tact it is a mystery to us why so
maiiv uid' iiluil-s of the county seek
the o!liee of Sheriff.

star for a new state shell be placed
011 the national colols 011 the !th ot
July following the passage of the
act of admission by Congress, See
| retary Tracy, of the Navy depart
ment, issued an order calling in all
j the flags used in the navy, to be re
placed July t with our national en
i in which the field will bear 42
stars, arranged in six rows of seven
stars each. This is an unprecedent
event. It typifies the admission into
! the Union of four new states—the
! two Dakotas, Washington and
I Montana. Never before in our his
j torv have four states been adinitfcd
at once, nor is it likely a similar
event will ever occur again. The
year of the constitutional eenteuary
ofthe government has witnessed a
great many impressive occurrences
and not the least among them is the
creation of the quartette of West
ern commonwealths. It will not be
many \ ears before the flag will be
completed, so far as our present
territories are concerned; and the
stars that will thereafter be added
must be by the absorption of other
| countries on this continent—Canada,
; for instance.
