Kind Remembrances. Onr old friend, S. J. Barnett, editor of the Delta, York county, Herald, paid us a pleasant visit on Saturday. Thirteen years separation has made very little change in his personal appearance nor has i impaired his congenially or our respect or Hfralif.

Mr. S. J. Baroett, editor of the Delta, York county, Herald, spent Sunday in Shamokin. Mr.

Barnett was the first high teacher in this place, and came to town in 1867, and with Miss Mary Hay as an assistant, organized the Shamokin high school. He and Miss Hay did valiant service as public instructors, and they enjoyed the love of all their pupils. Mr. Barnett was a thoroughly educated gentleman, and as a man of strong character. He carried lis thoroughness into the school room, and to-day there are those in Shamokin who mint with pride to the time spent under and will say that to his efforts in their ehalf they owe their present education, was the pleasure of the editor of the Times to meet Mr.

B. while here, and again here from him words of good advice. Were there more men in the world of his tatus the world would be the better Shaniokin Times. Accidents. Amelia daughter of Dr.

A Stewart, )f Slate Hill, while playing a ring game with a number of other children about two weeks ago, was thrown to the ground frac- uring her collar bone. The little sufferer is improving and will soon be able to mingle with her playmates again. Mrs. Catharine Lame while visiting at late Hill recently, and who has been suf- ering from the effects of an apoplectic troke, attempted to walk across the room and fell to the floor, fracturing her right thigh bone, middle third. The patient is under the care of Dr.

A. Stewart. Mrs. Ann Burkins, an aged lady of 'each Bottom, and who is subject to vertigo, started to go up stairs one day last week, and when near the top was attacked with one of these spells, and fell to the bot- om, dislocating the wrist and fracturing he ulna of her right arm. Dr.

There is a poplar impression that the movement is gotten up for the purpose of speculation, so lat the coins can be bought in at a discount and a profit turned by putting them Ml again at par when the excitement is Government officials say that when Congress meets, in December, there is ab- olnte certainty of the trade dollar being egalized or redeemed for a Bland dollar, pressure will be brought to bear ot only by the poorer classes, but by the tanks and brokers, who will by that time ave large sums on hand purchased at a iscount. Nearly everybody has some of these trade ollars, and to pass them at 85 cents would ntail heavy Ices. We therefore advise 11 holders to retain them for the present, eeling assured that ia a few fhey will be worth their face. HMOT7 tte trade DvOar. The following are the acts of Congress first making the trade dollar a legal tender and tip second that which withdrew the recognition of the coin Section Chapter CXL, approved February 12, 1873, provides that ttiesirvor coin of the United be a trade ollar; a half dollar, or fifty cmt pirn a Notice.

The Pennsylvania Agricultural Works. York, has long been celebrated for he variety and extent of its manufacturing ndustries. To the general public at least, none of these are more widely known and more importance than the Pennsylvania Agricultural Works, owned and operated Mr. A. B.

Farquhar. These works are ndeed among the most extensive of the ind in the United States--or the world. Ve had often seen agricultural implements and other machinery manufactured at these works, and had read and heard of their great capacity but when a few days ago we had the pleasure of making a tour of he works, we were led to exclaim, "the alf was not told The works cover about three acres of round, and as many of the buildings are bree or four stories high, the extent of oor surface amounts to about eight acres, 'ive hundred hands find busy employment, 'he variety of the work done is quite as as- as its amount. Nearly every- hing in the agricultural line and connected industries here receives ittle pieces of woodwork and castings, up steam sawmills, steam separators, etc. 'his includes plows (a large variety of attents and sizes), harrows, planters, cultivators, horse rakes, hay forks, horse- powers, clover hollers, cotton gin powers, corn shelters, feed cutters, cider mills, stationary and portable steam engines, cistern maps, farm wagons, wate.

The works embrace foundries for rass and iron, engine and boiler shops, machine shops, bolt and nnt factory, plan- ng and saw mills, forging, shearing and rolishing rooms, paint shops, warehouses, amber yards, the whole making such labyrinth of busy industry that a visitor readily lost in the maze. Nearly verything connected with these machines fashioned at these works from the sun- lest piece of wood, iron or steel to the meet complex parts. The oo, are made by the tfiousand and tod a market in nearly every portion of the habitable globe. The best materials are nsed in the con- Tnctien of the various machinery made at iese works, and many of their patents ave attained a wide celebrity.

Their good ualities secured for many of them medals nd the of merit both at or Centennial Exhibition in 1876 and at International Exposition at Paris, in as well as at numerous State and otraty Fairs all over die country.

The observance of the one hundred and seventh anniversary of American Independence in Delta was void of public demonstration and the celebration of the day was left entirely to the small boy. A niuuher of persons went to York, while others, armed with the necessary equipments, went to Peach Bottom to make an attack upon the finny tribe.

York to the Forefront. The New York TrOnate announces that the scientific department of Yale college has awarded the undivided mathematicaTprize --the only one granted to the Junior class-to C. Percival Farquhar, with honorable mention to Messrs. Herr and Nicols. This in fame is piling Pelion on Ossa, for it will be remembered that last year this gifted son of A.

B. Farquhar, received the first four prizes and one divided prize out of a total of six awarded the Freshmen class, which is the highest number secured by any student before on the list of the college. His success and triumphs have been so unprecedented that the faculty will allow him to skip the Sophomore and enter the Senior class, nnd hence will graduate next year. Narrow Escapes from Drowning. During the high floods in Broad and its tributaries last Friday there- were two narrow escapes from drowning.

Mr. Samuel Stokes of Lower Chanceford township, attempted to cross the run atMr.Wm Wilson's in a double-seated carriage drawn by one horse. The horse and carriage containing Mr. Stokes was swept down the swollen stream. After floating some distance the carriage was overturned, throwing Mr.
