BEATTY’'S PIANOS AND ORGANS.
Hon, Daniel F. Beatty, the great Organ and
ano manufacturer, is building and shipping
more Organs and Pianos than ever. In 1870 Mr.
Beatty left hdmn a penniless plow-boy, and by
his indomitable will he has worked his way up
so as to sell so far, nearly 100,000 of Beatty's Or-
gaus and Pianos since 1870. Nothing seems to
: dishearten him; obstacles laid in his way, that
would have wrecked any ordinary man forever,
he taras to an advertisement and comes out of it
brighter than ever. His instruments, as is well
~ kiiown, are very popular and are to be found in
all parts of the world. We are informed that
“during the next ten years he intends to sell
200 000 more of his make. that means a business
of $20,000,000 if we average them at $100 each.
; It is already the largest business of the kind in
xistence —Send to Daniel F. Beatty, Washing-
| ton, New Jersey, for Catalogue.

“Phe man who hath no musie in himself,
' Nor is not moved with concord of sweet sounds,

: Let no such man be trusted.”
Of course you are not as bad as that and you
‘music whether it is the thump of the piano,
‘the strain of the organ or the hum of the sewing
machine. If so, you will hear something to your
advantage by calling on us at THE Star office.

Weather rough and roads almost im-
passable. © Bad weather on sugar-makers.
Plenty of valentines flying in these
parts; some very nice ones.
We still have some few cases of la
grippe in this neck of the woods.
W. Blocher has moved his buggy from
home to A. Wilt’'s, where he intends to
spend the summer. Good for W. B.
Some of our folks out here are getting
interested in musical instruments. Mr.
Jonas Weitzell bas bought nun organ for
his family, and most of our people have
mouth-organs and Jewsharps.
Madison Durst purchased a fine horse
of Donald Bimpson for $100. We sup-
pose he got tired of farming with one
horse.
Some of the New Germany ladies are
talking of going west to see something.
They should go 10 see the silver mine
near Hiram Duckwaorth’s, if they want to
see something worth seeing.
We are sorry to sav that Daniel Yom-
mer got beat on his contract of logging
which he had taken of 8. and W. Broad-
water. Daniel, I suppose they have got-
ten a shingle order. ‘‘Let her go Galla-

WM. ENFIELD HEARD FROM,
tie Was Robbed in Salt Lake City, and Like
the Prodigal Son, is Anxious to Come
Home.
There are few people in this loeality
who are not more or less acquainted
with Wm. Enfield, who is noted for be-
ing one of the most singular individuals
on God’s footstool. Since William took
it into his head to bid his quiet mountain
home adien and go abroad to see the
world and the fullness thereof, he has
had his share of the ups and downs of
life, especially the latter. For many
years he lived contented on his mountain
farm and peace was in his heart; but one
day hie had occasion to go to Johnstown,
and the fact that he went there is largely
responsible for the roving disposition he
acquired afterwards. After returning
from Johnstown he-expressed himself as
i
and from that day he always
desire to. travel and see whether ‘the
world extended as far in other directions
as towards Johnstown. He accordingly
became a wanderer on the face of the
earth, and if all bis adventures could be
published in book form they would make
a very interesting volume indeed. But
there is no use in speaking of his oddities
here, as nearly all our people are ac-
quainted with his local history. His
present situation is what our people are
anxious to know something about, and |
as the following letter will fully explain
that, we will publish it in his own lan-
guage and orthography:

Every small town has a class of would
be smart people that belittle every thing |,
and every one’s business in their neigh-
borhood; find fault with the stores,
because they do not compare with stores
in larger places; with the mechanics,
because they are not {they think) like
mechanics at some other place; with the
doctors, because they lose a patient oc-
casionally that dies of some incurable
| malady; with their neighbors, what ever
may be their calling, they find fault; the
greatest amount of their windy ammu-
nition they fire at the local paper. be-
cause they cannot compete with metro-
politan journals. Nine out of ten of
these smart alecks are as far below the
object of their criticism as the moon
is below thesun. They have not ‘‘gump-
tion” enough to keep their credit up,
and are not straight on the books of the
very men they criticise, and are not able
to write a grammatical sentence nor spell
half the words correctly.—Ex.

The Day's Demand.
God give us men! A time like this demands
Strong minds, great hearts, true faith, and ready
hands:
Men whom the lust of office does not kill;
Men, whom the spoils of office does not buy;
Men, who possess opinions and a will;
Men, who have bonor; men who will not lie;
Men, who can stand before a demagogue,
And damn his treacherous flatteries without
winking;
Tall men, sun-crowned, who live above the fog,
In public duty and in private thinking,
For while the rabble, with their thumb-worn
creeds;
Their large professions and their little deeds,
Mingle in selfish strife, lo! Freedom weeps,
Wrong rules the land, and waiting Justice sleeps.
