The Emporium Independent says :
This is the mouth to watch potatoes as
they are commencing to sprout. First
wash them and then plunge a few ut a
time by means of small baskets, into
boiling water and hold them there four
seconds, dry and store them. This
treatment destroys the vitality of the
buds or "eyes" and there will be no
tendency to sprout and they will keep
sound and good of flavor till " new po
tatoes and green peas " come again.
Mrs. O'Hehin Dead. On Thurs
day morning last Mrs. O' Heriu died,
after suffering a thousand ordinary
deaths. The poor woman's flesh lit
erally felt from the bones of her body,
nd we are informed that when the
xjorpse was placed In the coffin the
body fell into seven pieces. What
must be the feelings of her worse than
brute of ft husband, who is now lying
'in jail, awaiting trial for causing her
death? It is said he threw alighted
lamp at her it exploded ignited Iter
clothing burning her to such an extent
that, after suffering excruciating tor
ture for over two weeks, she died.
What must be the feelings of the
miserable man now? we say. His
.Wife and Innocent babe hurried into
untimely graves through his influ
ence. The only defence that the
poor creature has is that he was so
drunk that he did'nt know what he
had done. O, what a warning this
ehould be to those who Indulge in the
intoxicutius bowl. Michael O'Herin
was undoubtedly in a beastly state of
Intoxication on the night ot tnis ter
rible crime. And he kept drunk for
several days afterward. On that fatal
night he drank until he was drunk
and then went Jiome to his wife and
family, and instead of loving words
for them, it was quarreling. When
asked to leave the lighted lump alone
be threw it at his wife, it missed her,
struck the stove and broke into
fragments, igniting her clothing burn
ing her and ber babe in such a terrible
manner as to cause the death of both.

This was the strain of Jim's argument
before Squire Maize on Tuesday morn
ing, where he was brought to answer
a charge of assault and battery pre
ferred by Frank Schuster, a moral
young man of our town. Thejustice's
ottiee was crowded with spectators,
who had beeii drawn together to hear
tho defendant argue his own case,
which ho did In his own peculiar way,
though no evidence was produced
showing that he was to be upheld In
creating such a breach of peace as he
stood under, and was therefore bound
over to court to answer. A large iron
bound water bucket was the instru
ment flourished in ejose proximity to
the prosecutor's head which made a
close shave, and came within a six
teenth part of au inc h of either break
ing Schuster's head or the bucket,
with chances favorable to the iron and
staves. Jim denies all this in toto,
and says the flourish was made in fun,
with no intentions of harming any
body. Brookvilte Jcffcrsonian.

Undertakers' and Physicians'
Fees. A case of great importance has
just been decided by Judge Pearson in
the Dauphin county court. In settling
up the estate of Daniel Hooker, de
ceased, his executors filed their ac
count, in which they took credit for
the payment of funeral expenses and
medical attendauce amounting to $140.
The balance exhibited was the pro
ceeds of the sale of real estuto. The
liens against the real estate were more
than sufficient to absorb tho whole
balance. Exceptions were filed to this
item of the account relating to funeral
expenses and medical attendance.
Judge Pearson has filed an opinion, in
which he decides that the preference
given by the act of 1834 to the claims
for funeral expences and medical at
tendance during lust illness applies
only to personal estate, if tho real
estate be incumbered, and that such
debts have not a preference over liens
of record. Undertakers and physi
cians cannot therefore be paid for their
services out of the proceeds of the sale
of a deceased person's real estate if the
latter be incumbered by mortgages
and judgments sufficient to cover ite
full value, and if the dead person is
uot possessed of personal property.

A shocking accident occurred
near State Line, on Sundry, resulting
in the death of Mrs. Sr.rah Barber,
wife of Jefferson Barber. It seems
that she has been troubled with fits
and is supposed to have fallen on the
stove during one of them, which set
fire to her dress. She. then threw her
self on the bed, where she was found
by her husband. The beddthg had
taken fire from her dress. Mr. Barber
succeeded as he supposed,. In extin
guishing the flames and then ran to a
neighbors to procure assistance. When
lie returned his wife had revived
sufficiently to be ablt to get a dipper
of water and was endeavoring to
subdue the fire, which had not been
extinguished by her husband. She
had become very weak, and lingered
until 9 o'clock Monday morning, at
which time she died.
Her clothing was burned from her
person and her body terribly scorched.
Mrs. Barber was about 65 years old.
Her funeral took place Tuesday,
from the baptist Church, ReV. S. D.
Morris preaching the sermon". lSldred

Red Rock, Pa., March 15. At
about 5 o'clock this afternoon ttti uu
knoVh man evidently intoxicated,
staggered through the streets, carrying
on his shoulders a bag containing
eight quart caiu of nitro-glyccrine.
Fifteen minuies later the town was
shaken and the inhabitants terribly
frightened by a most terrificexplosion.
Investigation revealed the fact that
the man had slipped down, causing
the explosion, which scattered frag
ments of liis body in every direction.
All that could be found of him would
not fill a collar box.
Cincinnati, March 10. There has
been considerable excienieht at New
port, Ky., all day on account of the
arrst of Peter Klein, the tramp, who
outraged Mrs. Tr.iesdale a few days
since. A crowd gathered in the neigh
borhood of the jail early to day, but no
demonstration was made until after
six o'clock this evening when about
twenty-five men marched, through
Monmouth street to the Jail, overpow
ered the jailer, knocked down two po
licemen and the mayor, Becured Klein
and marched oft'. Klein was taken to
Sirs. Truesdale's house and identified
by her and then 'to the woods and un
doubtedly hanged, although at this
time the body has not been found.
The Clearfield Republican says:
Some time since Miss Blanche Bloom,
of Curwensville, daughter of the late
Isaac Bloom, Jr., manifested symp
toms of insanity, and her relatives and
friends, after a consultation over her
case, came to the conclusion to remove
her to the Hospital at Danville. Soon
after she was placed there, Mrs. Leah
Bloom, her mother, insisted upon the
Superintendent to let her know the
precise state of her daughter's case.
He informed the mother that Blanche's
case was a hopeless one, as the sequel
proved. This information affected
the mother greatly. But suppressed
her feelings, as only a mother can in
the midst of distress, and ail seemed to
be well until last Sunday evening,
when she received a telegram from the
superintendent of the Hospital, stat
ing that her daughter was dead. She
exclaimed to her sou Robert who
was present t "Oh, Lord! Blanche Is
dead; and I'll die too!" and she
swooned away. The son gave the
alarm, and in the midstof the excite
ment ho fell to the floor, and for a
time it looked as thought mother, sou
and daughter would be numbered
with the dead. The son rallied but
the mother never uttered a word. The
mother and daughter were buried at
Curwensville.

Comments, "Briefs" ort Important
volumes freshly Issued, and the most
recent intelligence concerning the
makers and making of books, and
several New Departments will be in

scope of the paper will permit the dis
cussion of important political ques
tions, "Notes of the Week" will be
bright trenchant comments on current
events. "Contributor's Miscellany"
will contain piquant sayings, odd con
ceits, poems; reminiscences. A de
partment of Notes and Queries will be
introduced, and greater space given to
the department of Music, Drama and
the Fine Arts, which will hereafter be
conducted by competent specialists.
There will also be ft weekly
article on the Stock Market, and
particular attention will be given
to the great Financial and Industrial
Interests of our country.

The ice gorge at Queen's Run
dam, which caused the water to buck
up and overflow the railroad truck a
distance of five or six miles above,
broke Up on Tuesday night last, about
10 o'clock, and passed away without
injury to the bridge at that place. On
Tuesday afternoon last a large force
of men Were sent down from this
place to remove the ice and other
obstructions on the railroad between
Glen Union and Queen's Run, but the
water was found too high to accom
plish anything, and the force returned
in tho evening to await lower water.
Yesterday morning the river com
menced to fall, and another large
force of men were dispatched to open
the road. The ice is reported to be
from eight to ten feet deep on the rail
road track at various places below
Glen Union. It is probable that rail

between this place and Lock Haven
