The Stock-ridge Tidings, well known
to some of our readers, suspends publication and its editor, Mr. Hopldns
will move the outfit to Perry.
The matrimonial market at Chelsea
look an awful boom last week. Six
weddings occured there in three days,
and what a harvest for the clergy.
Fred Wright, of Minnesota, who is
visiting relatives in Bridgewater, received a telegram a few days since saying that his house and property at
home were but an ash-heap,
Last Friday the electric motor in L.
J. Liesemer _ press room exploded with
a slight noise aud set fire to the woodwork. S. W. Millard who was in the
room jumped out of the window and
turned off the cucrent and the fire was
soon controlled.—A. A. Democrat.
The suppression of Sabbath desecration is being agitated throughout the
state to a considerable degree. On
Monday evening the question was put
before Brooklyn people by Rev. Frances
Ware. Mr. Ware will be here again
soon when, it is expected, a local organization will oe formed.—Brooklyn Exponent.
An exchange says there is but one
lawyer in heaven. How he got there
is not positively known, but it is conjectured that he palmed himself off for
an editor and passed in (editors usually
have a pass). When his dodge was discovered they searched the realms of
felicity in their length and breadth for
another lawyer to draw up papers of
ejectment, but'as one could not hefound
of course he held the fort.
Blissfield's council is boring for
water, and having exhausted the appropriation when the hole was 27a feet
deep, and no water appearing, a special
meeting of the village solons was called,
and by a vote of three to one it was ordered that the bore be continued to the
depth of 300 feet. Then if water does
not bubble up, the council will deliberate aud speculate aud cogitate and
agitate, and decide what is to be done.

Since trichina-, has h..» found in fish
and eels, eaters of oysters might as well
exorcise a little caution and have the
bivalves well stewed or fried before
swallowing them, says the St. Louis
Globe-Democrat. Tbe fish and eels arc
supposed to have taken trichina? from
infected pork or other flesh thrown into the water,, and if this is. the case
there ia no earthly reason why an
"oyster- should not also be susceptible to
the disease.—Ex.
Grass Lake News: Our nicest young
men were thown into a terror a day or
two ago on learning that their linen
would not belauiidried this week owing
to a suspension of business on Thanksgiving day. They immediately sent
word to their girls that they could not
bo on hand Sunday evening as usual
owing to indisposition tracable to
Thanksgivingstomach troubles. However, one of the rascals tided over the
difficulty by sneaking ronnd and borrowing our shirt. This leaves us without any, and now we've got to sneeze
and snuff and take cold and shiver, out
and iu, for a week just because we can't
say. No.
The editor of the News must have
been one of the boys,and likethe others
had to disappoint his too.   If our
sympathy will be of service ifis at his
disposal.
"Under existing eoditions," said
Gen. Fitz-Simmons yesterday, "I would
not invest a cent in oue of those tall
office buildings being erected down
town. Chicago is now confronted with
a very serious problem. While I am
not an alarmist I must say that a great
danger exists from the big buildings.
Chicago is practically afloat. We are
resting upon a semi-fluid mass which
is covered by a crust only sixteen feet
thick. The pressure of the*tall buildings upon this semi-fluid mass has a
tendency to force this substance up on
either side. It is just like placing a
brick in a pan of dough. The brick
sinks down and the dough rises upon
all sides of it. The same thing happen*
with the buildings. As I said before,
the crust, which is of tough day, is
sixteen feet thick. Beneath this there
is a soft substance, which is almost a
fluid. It is from thirty to thirty-six
feet thick, resting upon a stratum of
indurated clay, directly underneath
which is the hard-pan. Now, as long
as the crust remains intact we are all
right; but break the crust and the most
•disastrous results would follow."—Chicago Tribune.
In the Austrian Tyrol is the well-
known glacier several miles long and
about 1,200 feet thick. On its way
down the mountain it runs right across
a'valley. Water trickles into this valley above the glacier, which for years
has been a barrier in the way of the
collected streams, so they formed a
lake high up in the mountain 1,000 feet
long, about 350 feet wide, and fully
eighty feet deep. *
About the middle of June the
streams which fed this lake became
unusually high, and the lake rose until
its waters began to flow over the top
of the glacier. There was an immense
pressure of water behind the glacier,
and the stream flowing over its surface
rapidly cut into the ice. Finally the
top of the glacier gave way entirely,
and the waters of the lake were suddenly precipitated down the valley.
Comparatively little water had been
flowing through the valley before, but
it now became the bed of a roaring torrent.
It was fortunate that not a single
village lay along the bottom of the
valley in its upper part, for had there
been a village there it would most certainly have been destroyed. A few
houses, however, were carried away,
but the inhabitants had feared for two
or three days the bursting of the
glacial dam, "and had prudently removed further down the valley with
their cattle. When the waters reached
the villages it bad spread so great a
width and had so largely diminished in
force, that no serious damage was
done, though, of course, the sudden
flood was the cause of a great deal of
discomfort and inconvenience. All the
dikes and roads were flooded, and the
paths in the upper part of the valley
were entirely destroyed and covered
with debris.*
This is one of the ills that Alpine
dwellers have to suffer. Lakes high up
in the mountains, formed by a glacial
barrier, which has crossed the bed of
some stream, are not of infrequent occurrence, and there is no telling when
the barrier may give way and let the
pent-up flood all of a sudden down the
mountain with a roar like an earthquake, carrying destruction before it.
Eupepsy.
That is what you ought to have, in fact,
you must have it, to fully 'enjoy life.
Thousands are searching for it daily, and
mourning because they find it not. Thousands upon thousands of dollarsoare spent
annually by our people in the hope that ■
they may attain this boon. And yet it may
be had by a_. we guarantee tint Electric
-titters, if used according to directions and
the use persisted in, will bring you Good
Digestion and oust the demon Dyspepsia
and install instead Eupepsy. We recommend Electric Bitters for Dyspepsia and all
disease of Liver, Stomach and Kidneys.

From a letter written by Mrs, Ada E.
Hnrd, of Groton. S. D., we quote: Was
taken with a bad cold which sottled on my
Lungs, cough set in and finally terminate-
in Consumption. Four doctors gave me up
saying I could li ve"but a short time. I gave
nryself up to my Saviour, determined if I
could noi stay with my friends on earth, I
would meet my absent ones above. My
husband was advised to get Dr. King's -few

Colds. I gave it a trial, took in all eight
bottles; it has cured me and thank God_ I
am now a well and healthy woman." Trial

Poultry!   Poultry! Poultry!
I will take all good fat, poultry,
with empty crops, each Monday
during poultry season. Those bringing
do so with the understanding that it
will be assorted. For that which is
prime will pay highest market price.
If you will give this one thought you
will agree with me that poor stuff does
not pay to sell, and no good to me at
•my price, it makes us refuse it for il
hurts the sale of all. We hate to refuse it more than you hate to have us.
Poultry is plenty and to sell must bo
