Wm. Quarry received a letter last Friday from John A. Marsee who is in the army at Manila.

He has had enough of the Philippine warfare and is ready to come back to the states. He went into the service last (Tfovem be r. When it comes to striking an average it will be found that Indiana is a pretty good state in all things that make for human happiness and comforts. While the wheat crop this year in the southern part of the state amounted to nothing, corn, potatoes, hay, oats and small fruits promise a big yield. There are no such as absolute crop failures in Indiana. The state may have a* few drawbacks in the matter of changeable climate yet one could travel the country over and not find another state that can furnish so much of the good things of life as Indiana.

Lawrence thoroughly understands that branch of the trade, and being well known will no doubt make a success of his new undertaking. The Democrat washes him success. Last spring it cost the town a hundred dollars or more to fill a certain street in this city and now' it will cost the tax-payers about the same amount in taking a portion of it away. Of course there is no telling w'here streets are on the grade. Why not gravel, the streets and make the improvements permanent, and not spend two or three thousand dollars each year filling and cutting and the next year undo what wras done the year before. It is time a halt was called on this needless moving of dirt from one street to another.

A report from the state board of health gives the health statistics for the quarter ending June 30th. The total number of deaths are given at 4,380, an increase over the same time last year of 1,021.

Goshen churches have the “sox social.” Yo charged an admission, b % introduced are not when you enter the door you are presented with a little silk sock that has not become an adult, and asked to put twice as many pennies as the nuujber of your shoe.

Dr. Burlingame, secretary of the town board of health, in pursuance to a health ^ordinance adopted by the board of trustees, has given notice to the board of commissioners that the hitchracks about the court liouse must be removed.

Thoughtful housewiveis are now stocking their closets with preserves and relishes of ail kinds ; The winter supply of currant jellejy has been made, and later in the season attention will be given to preparing of crab apple and grape jellies. This is the month to make pickles. Sweet pickles, peaches and plums are delicious. Allow three and three-quarters pounds of sugar to seven pounds of fruit. Put the sugar into the preserving kettle with a quart of vinegar and two ounces of cloves and a stick of cinnamon. Boil them for live minutes after the sugar is dissolved. Pare the peaches and stick a clove into each one. Place a few at a time into the boiling syrup and cook them until they are clear, but not softened enough to fall apart. When all are cooked continue to boil the syrup until it is reduced nearly one-half, and pour it over the peaches. Plums are pickled in the same way. The skins may be left o n both peaches and plums if preferred. In fact, the fruit is often more savory if they are left on, and in which case the down must be brushed off til id peaches and the plums must be pricked with a fork in several places to prevent the skins cracking when placed i n the hot syrup.
