Over 30,000 copies have already ~been sold. This remarkable sale is probably owing to the fact that nearly all these songs are to be found fu (no other collection.

GOINO, Dear friends, with your permission I wish to express to you and the publle my heartfelt sympathy In this, your hour of severe trial. Words are inade­ quate to express my deep sorrow that you should be called upun so soon to bear this second affliction, but as tlia Lord has so willed we can but bow and say "thy will not mine bo dona.*' The late Mrs. Going was Indeed an estimable young lady. Her confiding trust, her affectionate smile, and beau­ tiful features could never fall of elicit­ ing admiration. Her union with Mr. Going brought her relatively into our family, ajud from the first In friendship and sociability we could but adopt her \^ntja|«ntally into our household, and consequently esteem her as a daughter or a sister. February 28th, irhen she, with the household, gave us a brief family visit, which by the providence of God proved to be her last, we were enamored, from her apparent happi­ ness and cheerful address vhlle with us. Mention had often been made of her real satisfaction and comfort at the time. But how sad, the remembrance of its having been the laat, tout call. And still more sad that the two babes, aged but two years and two weeks, re­ spectively, should be bereft of an idolized mother. That an all wise God may watch and guard them now and l'i the future is our prayer. Respectfully, JOEL WHKELKB.

Indications are that the spring clip of California wool will be superior to any produced in tho State for the past eight or nine years, says the San Fran­ cisco Qroctr and Country Merchant. The winter could not have been more favorable for the sheep Interest. Rain followed the fall shearing in good time to prevent the sheep from accumulat­ ing dust. There has been an abundance of feed through the winter, and for a month past there has been green gjaiing of excellent quality, giving the sheep an opportunity to get in first-class condi­ tion, thus accelerating the growth ef wool and Insuring a strong and healthy staple. The number of sheep is probably no larger than last year, but a great in­ crease In laubs Is looked for. If the present mild weather continues for the next month or six weeks, the percent­ age of less among lambs sheuld be nn- usually light. With a superior quality of wool to ofier manufacturers, and with distributing centers now lightly stocked with choice grades, there is prospect of the wool Industry on this coast providing more remunerative this year than during the season just closed. To The Country Press, .. **tt is a well known fact iiifct the country press lose heavily every year by giving credit to foreign advertisers and the many advertising agencies. Some have lost 25 and others 50 per cent of all advertising received from abroad. Advertising agents doing business with general advertisers, have lest in many cases fully 50 per cent of all business done by them. As a con­ sequence of this, the publisher, know­ ing that by giving him this credit he wlll lose one-third of his accounts must make it up by charging one-third more than his regular rates. The advertising agent who intends to pay his bills, kno ving that he is liable to lose one half of the amount due him, must charge the advertisers ever 100 per cent above cost, to be sure-he will com* out even, which is the same as charg­ ing the responsible advertisers with all he has lost on those that never pay him. If publishers were to do business so that they were sure of being paid all due them, they could give better rates* If agents were to demand cash from advertisers (and they paid it) they could do It for one-third less. Then why is not this change made all around P This'reminds us of a blank contract sent us to-day by J. Weaver & Co.,of Pittsburgh, Pa. They have adopted this plan exactly. They make all con tracts payable In cash, and monthly in advance, and we presume they will ex act the S:ime kind of payments frem their advertisers. We can give them Letter prices than by doing business on credit, or taking pay in printing ma­ terial. They can, by making no losses, give their advertisers much better fig ures. Let • very publisher do all his foreign business in this way and he will be much the better ofi for it at the end of the year. We are glad to see J^ Weaver A Co. resuming again, and hope evety publisher receiving their blanks will give them their bottom prices, as an endorsement of the new departure to the only safe plan for the country pre|?, to do-business with ad­ vertising agents or foreign advertisers on--a cash basis."

If any of our readers have ever used a Stylegraphic Pen, they know some­ thing of the convenience attending its us-fund if they never have used one they should try the experiment, and if they get the best and latesi improve­ ment, they willnever use any other Pen. We have used for two years past a Stylographic Pen, presented to us by Mr. L. E. Dunlap, of Boston, Mass, We are advised that Mr. Dunlap has re­ cently invented and patented Nov. 18, 1884, an improvement, which he justly styles the "Champion" Stylographic Pen; the improvement being a com­ pound spiral spring formed from a tube of hard rubber, while other Stylo- grapic Pens, have fine gold wire or metallic springs which soon r<h and corrode. The newly Invented Pen coiitalns several other Improvements, and is endorsed unanimously by the trade as givin perfectg satisfaction to their customers. In order to successfully introduce to the public this new and valuable Pen, the manufacturers (Dunlap Stylo- grapic Co.,) 296 Washington Street, Boston, Mass.. efier (for a shott time only) to send by return mail :o any ad­ dress in the U. S., a Champion Pen. 6 months supply of Ink, and a beautiful gold mounted pencil, on receipt of the price of a Pen which is 92.00 each for plain, aud 92.50 each for goltl mounted.

At the District School meet log, held last Saturday afternoon, J. V.

The school board as now constituted: J. V. Aid- rich, George McConnei, S. R. Ward. The old saying, "misfortunes never come single," seems to be coming true "n the case of Dan Kilbourne. who had i valuable horse so badly kicked the other day that it had to be killed. Mr. Kilbourne is yet helpless from his acci­ dent last wiuter, and It would be a graceful act for some one to start a subscription and his neighbors "chip in" to make up his loss. Henry Marsh and family, 96 long residents ef Richmond in the "Key­ stone District," have gone to Califor­ nia. Mr. Marsh has rented one of his farms to Ben Whitman and one to Charley Bacon. One daughter. Miss Bertha, will tarry with her sister in Nebraska during the summer. Should any of Mr. Marsh's friends wish to write him, the letters should be ad­ dressed to Valley Springs, Calaveras County, California, J. Repass, lealer of the Richmond Cernet Band, wai made the recipient of au elegant silver and gold cornet, as a slight token of the high esteem in which he is held by the members. He has been indefatigable In h s labors, training the boys, until the band to­ day stands second to none hereabouts, and it would be hard to beat them any where, outside the large cities. Mr. Repass may well feel proud of thw ele­ gant instrument he now possesses--and he is. Some time since Peter Rowe receiv­ ed a trifling wound on the thumb from tiie barb on a fence wire. Blood pois­ oning supervened. The whole arm become swollen, painful and tender the characteristic fever developed, and a huge abcess formed in the axilla When opened Saturday morning It discharged over half a pint of pus. There seims to be something peculiarly poisonous about those barbed wires, as cases of serious consequences following slight wounds by the sharp points are quite frequent. The moral of such cases, of course, is never neglect a wound made by a barbed wire, no matter how tri­ fling . * It was lately our good, fortune to spend a few hours at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Jo. Richardson, where the pleasure was greatly enhanced by the presence ol their daughter Ada. This child it only three years old and beau tiful as an liouri. She is a sparkling, flashing diamond, a golden sunbeam that makes the place where she is, beahtiful. Her musical gifts create the greatest wonder to us. The little midget, not much bigger than a baby, will stand, without embarrassment and in charming unconsciousness, and sing piece after piece, every note correct, though she cannot yet talk plain, her childish tongue tripping on difficult words, B6, for Instance, givlrg "boo-oo- too" for "beautiful,1* It was a pleasure never to be forgotten to hesr her sweet voice sing "Little Bluebird," "Girl from the South,** "Jenny my own True Loved One,** "Sweet By-and-By,** and other songs, or declaim. wl|k the ut­ most gravity: "Here me stead Upon a stool Me cut a pretty figure And if vou want To hear a speech Just wait till I grove bigger." She insists always on saying "me" or /•Ada** for the first person, In cool vio­ lation of grammar or teaching. But the prettiest sight of ail with this in­ teresting child was at table when grace was said by the father. With her head reverently bowed she waited un* til her father's "Amen," and theu added, "And make Ada a good girl, Amen." The scene was so entirely un­ expected and altogether unusual that it made a deep impression on the mind of the listener, simple and sweet as It was. May the dear child live to become a woman as beautiful, as pure and bright as she Is now! Spring Millinery. MRS. E.
