By paying these small amounts they will not bankrupt themselves, but collectively they ean raise enongh money in a few days to buy the engine so badly needed.

Strangers still continue to laugh at us for having different names for our post- office and borough. They strongly insin- uate that we are a set of fools for remain- ing handicapped with too many names, when it wonld require so little trouble to do awav with the nuisance and adopt a new name that would appropriately an- swer for both postoffice and borough. We deserve to be branded as fools as lang as we are content to remain in the old ruts. : A city on a hill ean easily be hid in the darkness of night, if, like Salisbury, it has no electric light.

How dear to my heart is the fat, juicy oyster, when old ‘‘Soldier Billy” stews it so well; no dainty is sweeter, or softer, or moister, no bard is too brilliant its glories to tell; how sweet when on Pay day men rake in their wages, to order a stew or a roast, and swallow like wine that has come through the ages, the calm, placid ovster that comes form the coast; the blonde, placid oyster, the fat, jnicy ovster. the dead. dreamless oyster that comes from the coast. The non-advertising merchant goeth forth to his lair at the rising of the sun, and lo! no man interfereth.

A smart voung man in Meversdale re- cently treated his best girl to what he fupposged to he a box of candv pills, whicn he had purchased from a confec- tioner. He forgot, however, that he had also purchased a box of pills at a drug store—pills of a different kind—and had hoth boxes in the same pocket. Next day the girl looked like the last rose of summer, and now they do not speak as thev pass hy. The voung man at first couldn’t account for her coolness toward him. buat it has since dawned upon him that he made a mistake and gave her the wrong pills. There are a lot of young hoodlums in this town that take a fiendish delight in tormenting poor old Harriet Weaver. an old lady who for some time has heen gradually losing her mind. This old woman is well stricken in years, lives all alone and is unprotected. She has al- ways been perfectly harmless, -and what sport boys can see in tormenting one in 80 pitiable a condition as she isin, we are unable tu figure out, Some of the tricks they have lately heen plaving on her are not only cowardly and outrageous, but are filthy in the extreme and of a very criminal nature. Some of the old wom- an’s tormentors are pretty well known, and their parents are respectable people. We publish this as a warning for the boys and at the same time as a hint to the Borough authorities to be on the alert to catch the young rascals and mete out justice to them, if they continue in their meanness. We want it distinctly understood that persons who have ‘been receiving state- ments of their indebtedness to THE STAR have got to “ante up” with the cash. and that, too, without much further delay in the matter. We are getting tired of car- rying accounts for people who are a great deal more able to pay the small amounts they owe us than we are to pay the much larger ones that we have to pay every for stock and labor. We have been very patient with our delinquents, but there is a time when forbearance ceases to be a virtue, and after waiting from one to two years on some people to pay their subserip ion, we think it is about time to compel payment, if we can’t get it by kind requests and plain business statements.

Garrett County Ahead on Big Apples. For some time the Somerset county pa- pers have been blowing a great deal about big apples raised in different parts of the county and brought into the various news- paper offices for exhibition. Guess Som- erset connty has got to shut up now, for Truman Maust, of Garrett county. Md., brought two apples to TRE STAR office, this week, and each of them weigh 1} pounds. One of them is of the King of Thomp- kins County variety, while the name of the other is unknown. But in the ab- sence of a name, we shall call it Maust’s Beauty. Theseare the biggest apples we have heard of, this year, but Mr. Maust says they are not as large this year as usual, owing to the drouth which lasted nearly all summer. Now, if anybody has larger apples than those brought in by Mr. Maust, we would like to see them. A Leader.

HNSON & CO., 22 Custom treet, Boston, present expressed their appreciation of this lecture and the manner in which it was delivered. Mr. Weaver impressed upon the minds of both young and old the importance and deliberate considera- tion, in fact the most important step which tends to our future happiness, that of choosing and selecting a life partner to share our sorrows and joys in this life. Not forgetting the poor bachelor in his forlorn state, in reference to the noted ‘“rentleman,” he quoted some very suita- ble extracts, such as, “Tis sweet to love, but oh! how bitter, to love and then not git her.” In short the lecture was a treat to the people of Garrett, one long to be remembered. Stewart Lichty, the night telegraph op- erator at Connellsville, passed through town on his way home, after a vacation of ten days attending the- World’s Fair and visiting at his former home. Stewart says Barnum & Bailey’s big circus is noth- ing along side of the ‘‘Exposish,” and that the Midway Plaisance beats any oth- erside show he ever saw. Stewartknows a good thing when he sees it. E. C. Spriggs, our genial barber, says the outlook is bright. It’s a boy.
