Export Trade Brisk.
This country has sold to foreign

one-hundred and thirty-one million
dollars worth more of her products
than for the same priod of 1895.
During the same time we have
bought from foreigners about one
hundred and four million dollars
less than in the same jieriod, which
makes a tot change in the trade bal
ance of this country of two hundred
and thirty-five million dollars. The
net change for the month of Octo
ber 1896 over that of October 1895 is
nearly fifty-two million dollars.

EFFECT OF THE ELECTION.
It Starts a Great llnslneii ftoom. NrR-
pnper Comments.
Tho Sieclo of Paris says that Mc-
Kinley's victory has preserved the
world from an nppalling calamity.
The London correspondent of Tho
Sun says that "it is impossible to
exaggerate tho good effect produced
by Mr. MeKiuloy's declaration of
moderate tariff views, which have
been cabled hore since his election."
A great revival of business has en
sued not only in tho stock market,
but in nil the markets, wheat, wool,
and in trade iu general.
In this country the industrial re
vival is almost phenomenal. Rail
roads and factories in all parts of the
country nro increasing their working
oreos. Government coutracta to
the amount of a million dollars are
at. once to bo awarded. Vast sums
of hoarded gold are pouring into the
banks, funds long idlo are now bo-
ing brought out for investment in
active business, wheat is still going
up, and stocks are "booming."
Furnace chimneys long cold are
roaring with fire, and men long idle
are finding: work. In New York the
bonds that a month ago could not
l)e sold at any price could have been
sold five times ovor at tho sale last
Monday, when the highest premi
urns ever bid were offered. Thore
seems to bo every reason to believe
that the present wave of enthusiasm
is not a mere temporary "boom ;"
that it is founded in confidence and
betokens an era of genuine prosperi
ty. On the Snhject of Armenians.
Rev. Thomas Nichols will prooch
next Sunday forenoon in I the Pres
byterian Church on the subjoct :
'The duty of the Church and Na
tions to tho Armenians." This is
an interesting topic, and ono which
is now occupying tho attention of
tho civilized world. The Turks have
committed unheard of outrages on
the Christians of Armenia, besides
killing thousands of them, nnd it is
proper that attention should be
drawn to tho facts by the pulpits of
the country. A large audionce
would show that pooplo are not un
mindful of the deplorable state of
affairs resting on that unhappy
land.
Runaway Irlver.
Friday night Nov. 13 tho team of
James McKoeby.of Montague, which
had been to Port Jorvis in chargo of
his driver, was loft standing alone
at the Postoffice corner, and for
some reason started home. The
horses ran down Harford street to
Klaer's spoke factory where they
turned and brought up in the yard
of the Jersey grangor. No damage
beyond spilling a little coal with
which the wagon was loaded, was
done, but it was bettor luck than
management that the team was not
injured or killed. The driver did
not pursue the horses but left them
to luck while he went to his father's
home in another direction.

AN HISTORIC PLACE.
The lllrth Place of Benton and Its Present
Appearance.
Among the hills of tho red clay
rogicfh of North Carolina, some
miles from any settlement or town
lies a farm remembered as the birth
place of Thomas H. Benton.
It now wears a deserted look and
with the exception of a few tumble
down log cabins it is destitute of
buildings. Possums roam at -will
through its many acres of fruit, and
persimmons waste their sweetness
on the desert ground.
Men find it a happy hunting place
and tho occasional bark of a dog, or
the shot of a gun is the only sound
that mars the stillness of nature.
This farm, like the statesman it
produced has versatility j g. -d cot
ton, tobacco, sweot potato and corn
land may be found there, but owing
to the poverty of its owners and its
distance from market, it has been
loft for many years in an unculti
vated state. Here it was that
Thomas H Benton spont his youth
ful years, aiding his father in mak
ing a living.
He began his collegiate course at
the Chapol Hill University, but ow
ing to some disagreement between
Professor and pupil.his course there
was never completed.
In after years, when as Senator
from Missouri he became famous,
the University sent him the degree
of L. L. D. which he doclined to ac
cept. According to the .custom of plan-
tors, Thomas Benton's father was
buried on his own plantation.
On this land stood the first capitol
of North Carolina, known as Hart's
Mills at that time, at least here was
the first meeting for the enactment
of laws long before the Revolution.
If we could have looked In upon
that meeting, we should probably
have seen our forefathers scratch
ing their wigs in doep concern in
their effort to make laws suitable
for this land of liberty and f readom,
while thoir hearts still yearned for
mother England.
The present owner of this larm
offers to people wishing to form a
town ; building lots free and a solid
rock upon which to stand the Court
House. "

Kev. Huff Preached at the M. E. Church.
The Rev. J. L. S. Huff, of Strouds-
burg, preached in the Methodist
Episcopal church last Sunday even
ing. Although it had not been pub
licly announced yet an unusually
large audience greeted the Reverend
gentleman.
His discourse was upon the "Law
and the Gospel" which he discussed
in eloquent language. The close at
tention of the audience was an es
pecial tribute to the scholarly ability
of the speaker,
Mr. Huff is secretary of the Afro
American League and, is endeavoring

tor of the Afro-American Herald
and associate editor of the official
paper of the A. M. E. Church.

Diphtheria has become emdomio

disease has also appeared with fatal
results in Easton. Prevention by
careful attention to oleanliness
is
imperative. Every householder
should see that no breeding places
exist on his promises. Look to this
now.
Thanksgiving Services.
Thanksgiving seryices will be
held this y ear in the M. E. Church
and the sermon will bo preached by
the pastor, Rev. W. R. Neff. It is
proier and fitting that on these oc
casions the people should show their
gratitude and reverence by attend
ing the service sot apart. There is
something yon ought to be tUaukf Hi
for, and it is only fitting that you
give evidence of the spirit iu a pub
lic) manner.
