Saturday, the 2i)th, was as royal an autumn day j.s was over seen or enjoyed. The Presbyterian Sunday school, of Adrian, took advantage of the line weather and had a royal time of it in Mitchell's Park. There was a band, a procession, a march, a good dinner, a large attendance, swings, and general social enjoyment. 11 is a day long to be remembered by all present. The ladies' aid festival and bazar was a grand success, as was to be expected, as this band of workers have never yet failed in what they undertake.

There may tie a large volume of circulating medium and very great povertv The issue of paper money simph is no more an increase of wealth than the issue by an individual of bis promissory note would show an increase of his property. Vs a matter of fact, an increase in the coinage is no proof of an increase in property, but may be a strong proof of a decrease in wealth. Let us take, for instance, this watch case. That-is worth its bullion value plus the lalwr that has been expended on it. If, now, 1 melt that down into a fin gold piece, it is worth nothing hut the bullion value. Here then ha* bet n an itiereuse in the «|iiantit> of money, but a de crease in the volume of national wealth. 1 could not buy a watch case with the coin which would be coined out of this unless 1 added something to it. ami the pretense that men can lie enriched ny swelling the volume of currency is the oldest delusion which has effected mankind since the very beginning of civilization. Money never can circulate freely and actively unless there be absolute eoiifluene in its value. If a man doubts whether the money in his pocket will itc as valuable tomorrow as it is to-day. he will decline to e.\ change his commodity against it. ami this I'opulist agitation threatening the integrity of money has been the cause of the hard times through which the country is passing and from which it will not escape until the heel of ne,»ular condemnation is placed upon the Populist agitation which undermines the foundations of credit. —Thchaaisof sound trade is soiuul money money which is intrinsically valuable, money which, like the gold coinage »»l' this country, tlx government cannot ellect it if it tri«*<l to.

One of our town officers, who had been the means of quelling a disturbance one night la6t week and was afterwards set upon by two of the offenders, aud was forced to defeud himself in a manner that was rather convincing to his assailants, was arrested by the burgess and taken to the lock up. lie only remained there about ten minutes, and after his relesse swore out a warrant for the two men who *s.

On Saturday evening, it heiug the 22nd tiny of the moot August month of the twelve, a kind friend offered to pay my traveling expenses if I would accompany him to Bradford. I immediately accepted the challenge and we were about to engage in mortal combat. There I have got things tangled. I find that reading a Hood curdling novel and writing for the Putixsutawney SriKiT at one aud the same time will not fit like one of Billy Bell's tailor made suits. Well, I went to Bradford and returned like the three ships that sailed to Spain. Bradford is considerable of a town, but is not in it with Reynoldsville or Punxsu* tawney. I f the citizeus would get a hustle on them, and instead of manufacturing wood, alcohol and other chemicals, just set themselves firmly for a blast furnace like unto the one at Punxsutawney, the town would in a tew years become a place of some note. I do not propose to relate in detail all that I saw iu Bradford. !t would take up too much space, and as the editor has a habit of crowding out such parte of my weekly budget jus he thiuks proper without my consent or approval, it would in all probability be dealt with in like manner. 1 will therefore nut use up time nor wear my penny pencil any shorter by saying anything more about the trip. There 1 have told another. Holy mouse ! as my old friend Simon Huntingdon, long since deceased, was wont to remark. How could 1 have been so thoughtless as to have forgotten to mention the fact that Mary Elizal>cth Lease, not the boy orat%', but the female woman orator from the Grasshopper State, was in Bradford during the week ending August ~ftth. I will toll a few lines about Mary. It was on Wednesday at the hour of 3.30 p. m., when the advocate of woman's rights, free silver, populism, and (Jod knows the different other isms her speech would imply most anything --mounted the stand of the driving park and addressed the citizens of Bradford and its environs regardless of sex. political complexion, or pro. i vious condition of servitude. With silvery tongue she pictured the distressed condition of our country and the causes which lead to it. She ripped the Wall street Shylocks up I the back and knocked the foundation from under every National bank iu the United States. I listened with rapt attention to tlie tirade heaped upou those who had the courage and honestv of purpose to stand by the honest dollar, until interrupted by an individual who had been heaving huge schooners of Bradford beer into his corporal frame, lie said he had missed the train and had walked all the way from Mt. Jowett to hear Mary Elizabeth talk, and wanted to know how much longer that man was going to shoot otl'his bazoo. I told him that Mary was oven then doing the speech act. He immediately wanted to bet me 1«'» to 1 that I was mistaken. (We were in a position where the speaker was invisible to us). He said, "1 know a woman's voice when 1 hear it. I have not been married twenty-five years for nothing." It was in vain that I persisted in my statement. He would not be convinced until he climbed onto the railing where he obtained a view of the orator. After gazing on her for alamt live minutes he got down from his elevated position, aud with the remark that his bet still held good, elbowed his way out of the crowd aud took an electric car for the city. The gentleman, who is suppposed to have a life lease on Mary, was not with the show. He remained at home to look after affairs domestic, while the head of the family was entertaining the few benighted Silverltes uud Pop- J ulists tlint inhabit this cud of Uncle Sam's do; main. i Vicinity this Mr. Jones of Jolliot, 111, visited Jason Hitching* and many of his friends last week.
