Barnes & LaDow have this week been mgaged ip sending out their annual cal endars. Deputy Postmaster Clute took I large number of mall bags to Barnes & LaDow's mill, and received the big mail. Everything from foundation to finish may be secured of Barnes & LaDow, who are right up-to-date in the line of building materials. The professional card of Nichols & Hicks, civil engineers and surveyors of Troy, appears elsewhere in these col- nmns. The junior member of the firm, Charles E. Hicks, formerly resided here and is well known to our citizens, bv many of whom he has been employed. This new firm succeeds Chaa. L. Fuller, city engineer of Troy for many years. Messrs. Nichols and Hicks have bad large experience in engineering work. Arthur C. Johnson is now largely en gaged in mlll-wrlght work. The setting of water wheels, head gate and wheel pit work, and the erection of machinery and shafting, are matters of long experience with him. Paper mill work and repairs be makes a specialty. Mr. Johnson has been connected with the Hudson River Water Power and Paper company for many years, and hlB father, who died hero a few years since, drew the plans for the completed plant. Mr. Johnson's business annottneement apnears in our advertising columns. Parties in need of a first-class mlll-wrlght should secure the “ervlces of Mr. Johnson. One hundred additional sMrt makers are now called for at the enlarged fac tory of Miller, Hall & Hartwell. Some fifty additional shirt makers are wanted it the Crosby factory. More women will be employed next spring In the new p^per finishing rooms of the Water Power enropany. With the three knitting mills In operation, the demand for female help \Inring 1895, promises to be nnnsnally large. Th*- outlook for a big increase in our population during the new year Is very promising. More houses will be needed than ever before, and building operations m.ay be expected to be active.

Tallmadge, Esq , states that It is not necessary for a land owner who opens a street upon which building lot- are sold, to formally dedicate such street, to the public and transfer It to the viling. before the village authorities can obtain control of the same. He says tne villagt* charter glyes such control. The view has obtained hr re that a formal dedication of of the street to the public was required, and sidewalks and street lamps have been refnacdon certain streets because such (iedicdtion bad not beau made. Mr. Tall madge contends that the yUlsge author ities already have fall control of Front- st. for its entire length and can mak> whatever Improvements thereon the> may deem advisable.

The Story of Faithful Little Dandy, • S h a e s y Bohem ian Canine. A well known gambler named Beti who died a few years ago In Washing! left a will, whiofi was contested. A wom an appeared mourning him as a widow, although she and Betts had parted long >re, as it. seemed from his will, for Beets to forget HIS LAST ITEM. A FEARFUL COUGH SpoodUy Cured l>y mournlxig him and Betts ha< as it seemed f: ir her entirely. Among which was to remain in bough i >ugh bef Betts t< tbe property, which was to remain in chancery pending the decision in the will case, was a fine thoroughbred Scotch ter rier, Dandy. He had seen life, this veter an shaggy bohemian little Dandy. He and a twin brother hztd been sent across the ocean to this country when they were al most too young to know the difference be tween the sea and the dry land. Dandy was on his way to a New Yorker. The other dog was the property of the sporting man who was bringing tbe dogs to this country. On the passage over Dandy’s brother died. And, oddly enough, Dandy i A yer ’S C herry P ectoral Will yon leave this atThePlanctoffice The Planetofflce \'ife -.va.-i q suffering from a O f e a r f u l c o u g h , ® which the b e .s t S took the pla« tbe deceased dog, and his career began when he was purchased for a pretty little ;he continent to- r many times. Dandy knew the :s of Helena, of Seattle and of San cisco. Ho saw Salvator win hla great Ho was wide awake at night and In the daytime extremely dulL Ho wee na wary as bis master, and he never lost bis head. Ho was gracious to every one, but never in an Intimate way. There was only one person in the world for him, and per haps he pitied the world becanse there was only one Mr. Bett^in It and all other dogs bemuse they did not belong to Bette. So when the one person in all the world died Dandy hung his head, and his tail drooped, and he undoubtedly hated life. His importance as a dog In chancery did not affect him, and when the question arose about the disposal of the dog until I tbe decision in the case, since he could not be shut up In a vault with the other prop erty, be maintained an attitude of perfect Indifference. Finally the register of wills took charge of the dog, and Dandy, for the first time In his life, knew a home. It la certain that he did not like tbe atmosphere at first. He had and did not fail to show tbe ntmost scorn for the other domestlo ani mals about the place. That he was not expected to obase the oats astonished him, and he seemed to regard tbe other dogs a s . babies in experience. Before long, how ever, It seemed to enter bis mind that there might be a sortef pleasure In “ show ing off” before these inferior creatures, and, adopting an indulgent and patroniz ing air toward the other house, beast and man, his aocomplishmi mtent enjoymen jf a hundred woi stood that many—i he remedied his ml fusion as possible. Gradually he seemed to discern In the register of wills qualities that were not innlike some of the attributes of tbe dearly loved Mr. Betts. Ho found that gamblers were, after all, men, and that the register of wills was also a man, so he gave his heart away again and loved the register of wills, and his now master loved him. When the will suit was finally deolded and It became necessary to transfer the es tate and Dandy with it to the vlotorlous widow, the register of wills robeliod vigor ously. He offered an absurdly largo sum _______ 1 'mime In ( away his desirability in the Herior creature lulgent and patronlz- le oth Inmates of the' d man, he went through ' lents with dignity and ap- it. He had a vocabulary many—and if In fetching things be sometimes ikowlth as little o ^ - ot money for the dog. He even a t |^ p ted to give him a bad name In order' to take away his desirability in the eyes of Mrs. Betts, but she could not be moved, Sho shed a few tears and declared that the last time she had seen her dear Mr. Betts Dan dy had been with him, and that she have the dog. The the dog carried to the office of tho widow’s lawyer. When Dandy realized what was to happen, his faithful soul re volted. He had submitted to his new mas ter after tbe death of Betts, and that was all that could be expected of him. He might have become rocon but to be dominated bj y?as more than ho could endure. H( from the widow’s tearful caresses, watching his opportunity, dashed thr an open door and down the street to tho city hall. The register of wills was sitting In his office when he heard a little patter in the hall, and there Dandy was, in his lap, with his paws upon the man’s shoul ders and his head nestled against the oth* er’B face.

We have had, to bo svire, within tbopast 60 years more great examples of style la literature, such ns Cardinal Newmon In ;land and Hawthorne in this country; treat examples of sty] as Cardinal Newmai I and Hawthorne in this country; the w h ole, style is a t h in g w h ich writers have almost ceased to cultivate, and which readers do not much enjoy. If one considers tho magazine and review lit erature of the present time, one is struck by tho oorreotness and lucidity of the lan guage employed, even by Its conciseness, which is one element of a good style, but Its dullness and uniformity are also strik ing. All the essays, with a few exceptions, might hove been written by one man. The personal element is entirely left out of them. They have no sjwntaneity and evince none of the joy of creation. I have a particular feeling for Sterne’s writings, b^ause it was from him that I first ob tained the notion of style as a source of pleasure In reading. I can recall tho very moment when, as I began to read “ Tris tram Shandy,” it flashed across me that a written sentence might bo a thing of beau ty just as much os a painting, or a piece of sculpture, or a scene in nature.—Atlan tic Monthly.

I turned and looked at tlie man more close ly. A very seedy fellow in a very seedy suit, with an odor of stale tobacco hang ing about him, is not ordinarily an inter esting personage, but my professional in stinct was aroused. Hero, perhaps, was material for a story. It might bo worked up into a thrilling tale. Clearly It was my duty to Inquire modestly into his situation and assist him with my advice. “Did you say Tho Asteroid offloef” said I continue it, but can think of nothing that does not seem silly or impertinent, it is always in order to pretend you have mistaken your companion’s meaning. In this case it succeeded even better than usual. “ No; The Planet, The Planet. They must have it first. I would not have The Asteroid get it, a good Item like that, and exclusive too.” This was c-^l>onraging. He was a news paper man, tnat was plain enough, but why didn’t he take his copy to the office himself, instead of loafing here on the bridge? The plot was thioke probably work up best Theylibr “ So :ening.

It is a perfect pleoe of news, giving the man’s name, correctly spelled, his residence, names of relatives, motives for the rash act and all.” “ When did it take place?” “It hasn't taken place at all yet. It will take place at 12:15 tonight.” “But, but”— I stammered. “How do I know about it?” bo broke in. “Because I'm tho man. Do you under stand now? I’m going to kill myself to night. I’ve no friend In the world but my paper, and I'm going to do it the only good turn in my power by giving it a cor rect and exclusive piece of news.” Tho man was surely crazy, but tbe story was coming on finely. 1 must humor him. “ Good,” said I. “ I t ’s a capital Ideal” I thought of applying my maxim and tell ing him that I had committed BUioldo myself in my youth, but 1 xofieotedthat in his excited state ho might not bellovo me. fils story I must have at any cost. “ Come,” Iwent on. \Como with mo to my rooms just across the bridge and have something to eat. It’s—it’s - i t ’s awfully unhealthy to go Into water on an empty Btomaoh.” Tho man looked at mo as if bo thought I was crazy, too, but 1 excused It on ac count of his perturbed mind. He followed me, however, and as we walked'on in si lence I hugged myself as I thought of tho material I was gathering. Besides the article for Tho Weekly, wbioh I had now decided to expand Into a serial, the incident would also make an excellent article for The Psychological Journal. I might also obango tbe facts a little, have him crazed by strong drink and work it up for a temperance paper with the title “ Tho Bottle and the Bridge; a True Story Founded on Facts.” The possibilities were simply endless.

I wrote till late at night, then, accord ing to my custom, went out for a walk. My feet turned involuntarily toward tbe scene of my late adventure. I walked out upon the bridge, and as I neared the middle I saw two persons en gaged In conversation almost on tho very spot where I had been the humble means of saving a human life a few nights be- As I drew nearer one of tho figures seemed strangely familiar. A moment later I caught tho words, ‘“It Is tho last favor I shall ever ask of any one.” I turned and fled.
