Lewis' orchestra commences the season's engagement at Round Island Monday. \ The old woolen mills at Dexter are be- ing put in thorough repair for manufac- turing purposes. Rev. C. H. Walton, of Mannsville, is doing missionary work. He baptised thirty persona last Sunday! The New York Tribune will seud a delegation, of \fresh air children\ to Carthage for a vacation of two weeks. A correspondent says of Watson M. Rogers' oration at Clayton, July 5, that it was a short, pithy, eloquent produc- tion. St. Lawrence oounty wants the new insane asylum located within its borders. It wants a home for its congressional as- pirants. Fred Fosgate, of Gouverneur, while I pitching in a game of ball, cramped his right arm in such a shape that it was broken between the elbow and shoulder. G. W. Jewett, who has a window in Nott's drug store, iB making a specialty of repairing flue watches, clocks and jewelry. He is an experienced jeweler and warrants his work. The Ogdeusburg Journal credits the success of its Decoration day and Fourth of July celebration to the 85th separate company of this city. Few cities the size of Watertown can turn out such a well-drilled and soldierly-looking com- pany . Dr. A. T. Jacobs, a residing physician of Mannsville, died suddenly of heart disease at his home in that village early Wednesday morning. His age was 33. Since the change in the running of the li. W. & O. railroad Conductor Gordon alternates his Watertown aud Sackets Harbor irip with one from Lowville to Utica, from Utica to Clayton, from Clay- ton back to Lowville, making a daily run of 218 miles. It was not by any streak of luck that the Watertown base ball boys worsted the Sandy Creek experts Monday. It was excellent playing that did it. The game was a tie on the eighth inning, but the Watertown boys kept cool, played well, gave their opponents a blinder and won the game. Fruit growing might be made a more profitable industry thau it is in Northern New York, The HERALD expects ere long to giye some interesting figures for the guidence of the uninitiated. We would be pleased to hear more particu- Jars from A. W. Clark, of Norwood, who is engaged in raising small fruits. He has 2,700 current bushes in bearing, 6,000 more just put out, and 300 gooseberry bushes in bearing. He will raise over one hundred bushels of currants this year. The Now York Graphic has this to say regarding our well-known townsman: Mr. Flower showe that he is not a mem- ber of the subway commission for the 1 \* purpose of ornament or merely to draw his pay. He is in that position the same practical, common sense man that he is in private life, and he proposes to serve the public as faithfully as he does himself. That is the kind of a man Mr. Flower has been and always will be, and the public will do well to make a note of it. George Hosselton of Turin while d riv- ing down the long hill back of Housville Tuesday afternoon was thrown down the embankment into the gulf and one of his legs broken, It was nearly two hours before any one came to hiB relief. The Arsenal street M. E. Sunday school will make an excursion to Alex- andria Bay, Wednesday, July 14. The steamer Si. Lawrenc e ha s been engaged mil th e fare for th e roun d irip is placed at one dollar. The city band will accompany the excursion. Charles Griffith, son of Alderman Grif- fith, had his face badly burned with powder while firing a small canon, last Momla>. It was first feared that he would lose his eye-sight, but it is now believed that no such calamity will be- fall him, although it is possible that he will be disfigured for life. Fifty-one teachers have been engaged for the coming year to instruct the pu- pils in the public schools of this city. Of these all but three are women. Sal- aries range from $180 to $1,800 per year. Miss C. M. Johnson, the preceptress at the high school, receives a salary of $800 per year, and this is the largest salary paid any of the lady teachers. But few of them receive a salary exceeding $400 per year. And yet there are those who think the teachers are paid too much The present outlook for hop growers in this seotioD is discouraging in the ex- treme. The presence of the black fly and the great number of lice on the vines together with hot and unfavorable weather, tend to destroy the crop, and unless there is a change for the better soon it is thought many yards will not pay for the picking. Early in the season the prospect for a good crop was very promising but such is not the case at the present time.—Lowville Times. Simply Asking 1'or Fairness. Mrs. A. H. Coughlan of Adams cannot understand who our neighbor the Times should attack the Womans Christian Temperance Union for alleged acts of last year and the year before. She says she don't see any reason for intimating that they are strong-minded fanatics \at this time and in this oounty except the fact that our worthy state president had conn 1 quietly among us to do what she might to arouse the Christian women of Jell'erson to a sense of responsibility and a united effort to save our county from the curse of licensed sin and death. Had a full and truthful report been given of the work of the W. C. T. U. during its twelve years existence ; had the causes that led to the result, so severely censur- ed, been stated ; had the reply, every item of which breaths only the spirit of christian charity, accompanied the pro- test, we should have inferred that the desire to impart information prompted its publication, and we snould have been very thankful to our interested friends but since not one word of commendation for all the good that has been accom plished through their philanthrophic ef- forts, appeared in the article, not one petition that they might be forgiven for this mistake, (if so it was,) and led into the right, we see in it only one more of Satan's many attempts to keep the weak and undecided from yielding to the promptings of their better natures and lending their influence to that of thou- sands of noble women of intelligence and true devotion in a n aggressive warfare against the greatest evil that ever cursed our fair land.\ COPENHAGEN . f A D VIMS CENTRE. PERSONAL . Mr. J. Bliss, of Carthage was in Water town Wednesday. Miss May Hills is enjoying a vacation at Point Salubrious. Geo. L. Davis, of the Round Island hotel, was in the city Thursday. Miss Cora Nash has been suffering from quite a severe attack of the quinsy. E. J. Mould, of Carthage, made the HERALD office a pleasant call the other day. M. J. Jerome has been appointed deputy collector of customs at Thousand Island Park. Hon. R. P. Flower arrived from New York Saturday, and will occupy his resi- dence for a few weeks. Mrs. M. Horton and daughter Nellie are occuping their summer residence at Point Vivian. The degree of A. B. and A.M. has been conferred upon Col. Shaw by the St. Lawrence university. John Thorn of Utica, late president of the Utica and Black River railroad, has been elected a director in the Rome, Watertown and Ogdensburg railroad company. Senator Knapp, of Lowville, gave the Ogdensburg people a taste of true elo- quence Saturday and the Malone people Monday. Lewis county is not large, but has reason to be proud of the most of the men it has sent to the front. General Manager Britton. of the Rome, Watertown and Ogdensburg, came on that road three years ago from the Cen- tral railway of New Jersey. He has the reputation of being a \pusher and is ecognized as one of the most capable officials in this part of the country — Rochester Democrat. Rev. Dr. Fisk delivered a scholarly ad- dress at Sackets Harbor the fifth, and if very properly will form an important chapter in the records of the Jefferson county historical society. The speech delivered by Hon. Watson M. Rogers at the same place a few years ago contained so much local history, put together in such a masterly manner, that it, too, should be placed on record, if such has not already been done. A vocal and instrumental concert will be given at Adams Centre, July 17th. Miss Abi Jackman will give a concert in Titsworth hall on the evening of July 17, weather permitting. About 900 people attended the recent temperance picnic in Grommon's grove Mr. Burdick and Mr. Tomlinson made sensible and pointed speeches. A1>AIT1S. Last January, Marshall Rima of Pulaski, was at work at Keene's station, St. Lawrence county, for the Rossie Iron company. At that time he was serious- ly injured while engaged in the com- pany's interests. One of his legs sustain- ed a compound fracture and a part of his foot had to be amputated. Mr. Rima has recently been able to return to his home. About two weeks since he brought an action in the supreme court against the company charging negligence on their part and claiming $15,000 damages. The case will be tried in this city in Septem- ber. George F. Rupp, for the past four years and a half with W. W. Scott, in the capacity of watchmaker and jeweler and previous to this time having served a thorough apprentice ship with the late Charles Drexel, by whom he was em- ployed for a term of ten yeers all told, has purchased the business formerly con- ducted by Laban H. Ainsvvorth at the store of C. Klump on Court-st. Mr. Rupp has purchased the necessary tools for first-class work in his line, and as he is young man of rare skill in these matters j the HERALD bespeaks for him a very liberal patronage, and wishes him suc- cess. The members of the Watertown board of trade are justly proud of their tran- sactions last Saturday, when they com- pare them with those at the Utica and Little Falls markets of Monday. At Little Falls the sales ran up to 8,370 boxes and at Utica the transactions were reported at 13,891 boxes. Watertown's recorded sales were only 2,505, but the ruling price was 7 | cents, which is i above Utica and | above Little Falls. There is something pleasing to Jefferson county dairymen in those figures, but until the price is named in two figures there will not be much hurrahing. The farmers will not get rich very fast at present prices. County Fires . A dwelling house at Adamsowned and occupied by William Roach, caught fire Tuesday afternoon and; was damaged to the extent of $400. No insurance. A defective chimney was the cause. Joseph Nenning's hotel at Sterlingville was destroyed by tire early on Monday morning. The fire probably originated in the bar-room. The house belonged to John Sharon, was valued at $900 and was insured for $400. Nenning's loss was $250 with no insurance. Quirk Work. The printing material for the HERALD arrived in Watertown last week Monday. Tuesday morning it was taken to the office. Saturday the paper appeared s few hours late, but yet on the date an nounced for its publication. This was a feat in journalism which should not go unrecorded, nor should credit be . with- held from those to whom it is due. Assistance was freely offered by every newspaper office in the city, but as ex- perienced workmen had already been engaged there was no question about getting the type in shape. All local correspondents of the three papers con\ solidated had been instructed to forward their communications to Watertown. Only one failed to keep Ids promise. The type was set and the forms ready for the press on time, but the paper was too large for any newspaper press in Watertown. O. E. Hungerford threw open his splendidly equipped job printing office, took a large job from his swift running press, and on that the HERALD was printed. Its fine appearance was in a great measure due to the press work. Mr. Hungerford's office is thoroughly equipped for any and all kinds of work in the printing art, Until Bagley & Sowell complete the press now under construction for the HERALD the press work on this paper will be done at Mr. * Hungerford's office. Herbert H. Waite, of Williams college, and Fred. Waite, of Hamilton college, returned home last week. Miss Bella M. Ramsdell and Nellie A. Bradley, of Troy, are spending a few weeks with their aunt, Mrs. J. S. Brown. The many friends of Mrs. N. M. Ward- well were pleased to see her out riding one day last week, the first time in over a year. STKRLINGBISH. STERLINGBUSH, July 9.— Fires are rag- ing all around us. Joseph Sterling, of Great Bend, called on firiends Monday. Mrs. David Seaman has returned from a week's visit in ThereBa. Ilona Copp, of Natural Bridge, is spend- ing a few days with her friend Emma Boyce. Mrs. Nelson and family, and Mrs. E. Bacon, of Natural Bridge, are guests of Mr. and Mrs. Seaman. Mr. and MrB. Vinton, of Mcomb, spent part of last week with Mr. and Mrs, Alvin WaBhburn. Children's day will be observed at the M. E, church, North Wilna, Sunday evening July 11. Rev. Mr. York, of North Wilna, held service here last Sunday. After service they repaired to the river and four per- sons were baptised. Mr. and Mrs. Wm, Hurlburt by immersion, Mrs. Pauline Zoller and Miss Martha Boyce, by sprink ling. Mr. York is a gentleman of fine abilities and his audience were highly pleased with his sermon. BLAC K RIVER. BLACK RIVER, July 9.—James St. Louis' little boy aged two years was very severely burned on Tuesday last. He pushed the cover off from a boiler of hot water and plunged both hands in nearl}'- to the elbows. A physician was called immediately and proper remedies applied, and the child is doing as well as can be expected. C. Poor and family are spending the summer in their pleasant cottage at Campbell's Point. Mr. and Mrs. Julius Poor, and son Georgie, went to Ogdensburg last week to visit friends and take in the glorious Fourth. Mr. and Mrs. J. Towne have been spending a few days with friends at Sandy Creek. Miss OUie Delano is welcomed home by a host of friends. She has been away nearly a year visiting in different parts of the west. She was in Chicago at the time of the riot, and on May 5th, the day following the bomb throwing, rode through Randolph street and past the Haymarket, which the rioters had made their headquarters the preceding day. Miss Delano says if she were to visit Chicago again she would prefer to go at a less exciting time. We notice among the students who are home for the summer vacation Cora Hammond and Lulu Clark from Claveraek, and Bertha Hazleton and Fred Hadley from Potsdam. Miss Ida Merriman has just returned home from a long visit to her sister, Mrs. Dr. Hadley of Henderson, Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Coon have been spending a few days at Campbell's Point. Rev. R. F. Whipple of Depauville was in town Wednesday. We also noticed the familial- face of Rev. Wm. Hoi brook Wednesday evening. The meeting of the Young Ladies' foreign missionary society at Mrs. H, C. Dexter's last Saturday afternoon was well attended, and much enjoyed by all present. A pair of youthful drummers sallied forth last Sunday night soon after twelve o'clock, and succeeded in making the re- mainder of the night hideous for their less patriotic neighbors, who would have preferred sleeping the sleep of the inno- cent to listening to such heart-rending sounds. COPENHAGEN, N. Y., July 9.—Mrs. S. O. Stoddard, has received by mail from a lady friend in California, twelve cocoons of the silk worm. To one not familiar with the habits of the silk worm they are indeed a curiosity. They are attached to a branch of the mulberry hush and are worth one's while to examine. She has one of the cocoons taken from the branch and partially opened and placed under a, glass HO as to watch its changes and movements. She also has a fine specimen of crystalized quartz taken from a gyser or hot \spring in California. Mr. S. O. has the quartz put away with other specimens, and he thinks it is a daisy. Miss Emma Lewis is very sick. Mrs. W. J.Allen is in very poor health. Horace Ward has moved into his new house. L. G. Chase and wife, of Carthage, were in town Wednesday. Wm. J. Alb ns r.eim of school in dis- trict No. 1 closet! the iibith. The stores were all closed Monday and everyone went to the lake. Carroll factory sold cheese last week, and delivered Monday, at 7c. Wm. Dry den is building a new barn near his house on High street. One good oil well would cause a doom that would astonish cur quiet little town, flop growers wear a smile now in con sequence of a slight advance in the mar ket. Prof. J. Scott Clark and wife, of Syra- cuse are in town visiting at Nathan Claris. Robert Tomb and H. P. Burns are building new houses on Main street, be- low the M. E. church. Two strangers are stopping in town. One at the home of Wayne Woodard, the other at C. L. Merrell, both boys. Miss Louella Burring ton is home from teaching in Jefferson county, and will remain for several week's vacation. A basket picnic to Pleasant lake, on the fifth. As usual Captain Hall did all in his power to make it a pleasant gath ering. Dr. J. H. Tamblin of this place, and A. E. Fox of Champion, have purchased a fine yacht and placed it on Pleasant Lake. F. H. Allin came home last week from Potsdam and left town Monday for Ni- agara, to attend the state teachers as- sociation. The Lewis county teachers association was held in our village on the second and third of July. Had good essays, music and a first-class address. It was a success. A Propelle r Wrecked . Tuesday night about eleven o'clock the steam Oconto, Capt. Martin, Ogd- ensburg to Cleveland, struok a rock just below Thousand Island Park and now lies with her stern under water and her bow well out. She had a miscellaneous cargo of merchandise valued at $500,000. Th\ passenger? ani crew were taken off and cared for at Fishers Landing. Hall & CO.'H wreckers are removing the cargo, and will atttmpt to raise the vessel. Watertown Want* It. The commissiouers appointed by Gov- ernor Hill to select, a suitable sight in Northern New York for a new insane asylum, will soon visit the counties of Lewis, Jefferson, St. Lawrence and oth- er counties. The advantages of Water- town for such an institution, its' railroad facilities, its climate, the liberality of its people, should all be carefully prepared in a presentable form before the commis- sioners arrive here. The fact that Wa- tertown has ho state or national institu- tiov of any kind should not be forgotten. Notice to Stockholders. The by-laws and articles of incorpora- tion of th» Watertown Industrial Co- operative company have been com- pleted, and the secretary and treasurer's bond has been executed and approved. He is now empowered to receive the subscriptions on stock, and it is hoped that the responses will be prompt. A special meeting of the stock holders will be held Tuesday evening, July 18, at the K. of L. hall, Court street, and we earnestly urge you to be present and use your best endeavors to secure ad- ditional subscribers before the meeting, O. S. BATES, Sec'y. Sunday Notices. The Rev J. Winslow holds services Sunday, July 11th, in Christ Church SacketsJTiirbor, at 10:30 A. M. and iu All Saints Church. Dexter, at 2:30 P. >I. Copenhagen vs. IiOtvvllle. Our base ball club went to Lowville Monday, to fulfill an engagement with the Lowville club to play a game of ball on the fair grounds. Our boys were not as full of conceit as were their opponents, who had only the Saturday previous beaten the Watertown nine. They did not expect to win the game, but they did expect gentlemanly treatment. It would be natural to expect an impartial umpire, but this was not granted. The umpire was a disabled player from the Lowville nine, and to the displeasure of all he gave the boldest preference to his own club on eveifo- close point he de- cided. \No fair^sjtaw at all\ could be heard from the crowd in all parts of the grounds. Not satisfied with this abuse, to cap the climax, they escorted the Copenhagen club to \a\ hotel of Low- ville and there introduced them to such food as the house afforded. Our boys are quite satisfied with their trip to the hub. 4-> Dempsey is probably the only thor- ough bred prize fighter in the country to-day. No exhibitions for him. ZIMMERMAN & HARDIMAN are now showing a, mammoth stock of CHAMBER SUITS, PARLOR SUITS, SPRING BEDS, FEATHERS, and everything in the furniture line. CARPETS, OILCLOTHS, MATTING, AND RUGS tirS^M \ Just as I am without one plea,\ was the hymn the young ladies were singing Monday evening as they rode along the street in the loving embrace of their fond fellows. Miss Emily Wells is home from Little Rock, Ark., where she has been spend- ing the past eight months teaching in a deaf mute institute. She will return in October to resume her work. Architect Dillenback, of Watertown, was in town Monday looking after the progress of the new church. He left a framed design of the same which looks as though the building would be a fine ornament to the town. The \ national sermon\ Sunday even- ing by Rev, W. J. Cuthbertson, from the text: \ If the son shall therefore make you free, you shall be free indeed,\ was listened to by a full house and met the praise of all who heard it. F. M. Whiting is building a large barn. He has spared no pains in the selection of material, using cedar for all the lower sleepers. He employs none but first-class workmen and intends to have when done a substantial as well as a fine looking job. Contractor Henry Hodge is in town excavating and starting the stone work for the new Congregational church. Work came to a halt for a short time on the job and the architect was consulted in relation to depth of excavating. The question was quickly settled to the satis- faction of committee and contractor, and now all goes on smoothly. The new structure will when completed be a fine improvement and an ornament to our village. We think the society did a wise thing when they decided to keep and build on the old site. Three patriotic boys in our town, filled with the spirit of 1776 repaired to Grndama's well-kept lawn, on the morn- ing of the fifth of July to celebrate early while Grandma took her morning nap. After ^he boys got through with the morning salute, Grandma aro&e and see- ing the fragments of fire crackers3trewn over her lawn, gathered them up and put them in the kitchen stove. The boys say Grandma had splendid fire works in the kitchen, but it took sOwiong to get the stove together breakfast was an hour late. Y The village of Copenhagen did itself proud the fifth. With the exception of = one store all were closed and nearly ev- eryone was out of town. Some went to Lowville and many went to Pleasant Lake. It was a general picnic to the churches as all seemed harmonious in the festivities of the day. Mr. and Mrs. E. H. Hall were at their usual stand with a good stock of ice-creem, lemon- ade, candies and nuts. The boats were in good order for pleasure trips around the beautiful little lake, and the steam- er J. O. Perkins carried many loads around the watery way. \When they strike oil\ is the watch- word for Copenhagen now. The hope of the town's growth seems to hinge on this point with many of our citizens, and some here ventured to say what they will do in business schemes, when to the eager gaze of the many hopeful property owners the sight of oil issuing from the bowels of the earth, is seen in some lo- cality near by our little village. When this has ceased to be a tiling hoped for and has been recorded in the list of sub- stantial realities, new hope for the con- struction of a railroad u Copenhagen will dawn on the inhabiirnts of this pleasant inland town. Fort Tompkins Park. Hereafter the old battle ground at Sackets Harbor will be known as Fort Tompkins Park. It has been transferred to the village of Sackets Harbor and the Jefferson county historical society by the heirs of Col. Elisha Camp, who are Mrs. Elizabeth Boyd, Geneva; Mrs. Mary Spencer, Bloomington, 111.; Mrs. Harriet Folger, Hudson, N. Y., heirs of Sophia Day, Catskill, the wives and children of George H., Edgar D., Elisha E. and Ers- kine M. Camp. The transfer was made at the celebra- I tioh last Monday by W. B. Camp, the only surviving executor. Mr. Camp says that it is in accord with the wishes of his dead relative that the battle ground be kept as a public park, and he had of- ten before his death expressed the wish that the village could buy the ground and beautify it.' Mr. Camp hopes that the historical society and village will be able to beautify the place, and in this hope the HERALD joins. New York markets. FLOUR—Weak.

PRIMEAU. \Ol d Reliable! \ USE THE BEST! AVERILL PAINT, Fo r Hous e Fainting. The Averill paint has been extensively used throughout the United States for fifteen years, with a constantly increas- ing demand, and we confidently com- mend it to you as the best article in the market. First—It is ready for use, and those who desire to paint without the aid of skilled labor can readily do so. Second—It is more economical than the ordinary lead and oil, both in the first cost, covering properties, and is far more durable. Third—It produces a handsomer finish than any other paint, leaving when finished a rich, glossy surface. Fourth—It will not chalk off, but re- mains firm and durable. - Fifth—It does not fade, whereas other paint loses its freshness and color soon after application. Sixth—It is peculiarly adapted to salt or sea air exposure, experience having demonstrated that it will last twice as long as lead and oil. We respectfully invite a trial and are confident you will be pleased with the result. We GTJARANTBE all we say. ThousaSdjh of testimonials might be furnished frolm prominent men through- out the United States, who emphatically declare the Averill all that its manu- facturer claims : J. W. Johnson, Easton,Conn., writes: \The paint procured from you several years ago has in every i nstance given splendid satisfaction. One party resid- ing here, purchased about a year ago another kind of mixed paint that was guaranteed to be equal to the Averill but a year's exposure to the weather has demonstrated its worthlessness. It is a «omplete failure. Cheney Brothers, the great silk manu facturers of Hartford and South Man- chester, Conn., who own over 200 build ings, write: \During the past eight years we have used large quantities of the Averill paint, and are so well satis- fied with its superiority to lead and oil, that we cheerfully recommend it to the public for general use. HOME TESTIMONIALS. It is unnecessary to quote what peo- ple say in other parts of the country, The Averill paint has been used iv Watertown for fifteen years. Among the hundreds who have used it are JOHN C. STREETER, JOHN G. HARBOrTLE, WILLIAM HOWARD, W. O. BALL, JAMES DAVIDSON, EDWIN BINGHAM, JAMES DELONG, ROSS C.
