Of course much depends on the work or business in which men are engaged, and it is for this reason that Lewin, of the Philadel phia Branch Clothing House, Belle fonte, Pa., keeps a full liue of elothing suitable for the laborer, the merchant, the farmer, as well as the professional man—and all at tlie very lowest cash prices. —Miss Mary htrohm takes this op portunity to inform the citizens of Millheim and vicinity that she will a gain open a school on Tuesday, July 25th, next, and kindly solicits tho con tinued patronage of the puilic. < t —Mr. Andrew J.

Capt. McCool saw a big deer wander ing around leisurely on his farm. The Captain is a law-abiding citizen and would not shoot a deer out of season— and it seemed as if Mr. Venison knew it. Something now and beautiful is al most daily added to tho new Spring Mills House. Mr. Nash understands how to improve the flue resort. ltev. James D. Wilson, of Now York city, is here 011 a visit to his venerable father and friends. lie preached a very able sermon to a large and appre ciative audience on Sabbath evening. Jacob McCool will remove his steam saw mill bftck to the old site near his residence in a few days. Jacob is the boss sawyer in these parts. Mr. I. J, Grenoble has adopted the cash system. Hope others will soon follow and make it general all around. Mr. G. promises to sell goods very closely, and 110 is just the man to make good what he promises. He under stands the mercantile business fully. Success to him. SAM PATCII. Sews miscellany. A Reading man was lined $25 foi u sing indecent and insulting language The public debt was decreased $12,- 500,096.70 during tbe month of June Ex-Gov. Curtin will deliver an ora tiau at Gettysburg on the 29th inst. In many places the wives and chil dren of the strikers are suffering for want of food. That is what strikes are good for. Jac">b Coleman, a respectable and well to do farmer residing near Midd.e burg, Snyder Co., committed suicide on the 30th ult., by hanging. It is now discovered beyond a doubt that Mrs. Scoville, on the morning of Guiteau's execution, sent him a hand some bouquet of llowers, some of the buds of which contained heavy doses of arsenic; *nd In addition a vine of rank poison was worked neatly into the bou quet. It seems that it was her desire to get an opportunity to whisper the words "Chew the buds'' in his ear. Ilappy now are the c'erks of the stores whose proprietors do not believe in advertising. They can stretch out upon the counter, place their beads up on a roll of shelf faded calico, throw a piece of bobinet oyer their faces, and snore tbe happy boors away.— Ex. WAR IN EGYPT. War lias commenced in Egypt. On the lltli instant the British war fleet o pened fire 011 the fortresses of Alexan dria, the batteries replied and the ac tion soon became general. A London Times correspondent gives the progress and result of the battle as follows: ALEXANDRIA, July 11.—9.10 a. m.— The attack on the forts has now been kept up two hours. Smoke hangs over the city along the line of the shore bat teries and among the ships, and it is difficult to see what damage has been done. It is certain, however, that the enemy has suffered very heavily. Fort Marsael Kamat has been blown up. The fire trom the other batteries and forts is slackening. The top of the tow er of fort Pharos has been carried awav and many guns have been dismounted on that and other forts. The flag of the Geneva Red Cross is flying over hospital in the city. The Dutch and Greek flags are hoisted oyer their re spective consulates. At the beginning of the bombardment immense excite ment was visible. Crowds of people were seen wending their way toward the palace. The streets are now desert ed, the people having fled or taken ref uge 111 cellars. Up to noon four forts had already been blown up and fires broke out at different parts of the city. The causualities 011 the British side were five killed and twenty-seven wounded. The loss of the Egyptians was heavy. OFF ALEXANDRIA, July 12.—1.30 p. m.—A flag of truce is shown from the town and a vessel steaming toward the fleet is displaying a flag of truce. A dispatch from on board the Chil tern, dated at 5.15 this afternoon, says: "The flag of truce is still flying. Sev eral large fires have broken out in va rious parts of the town. LONDON, July 12.—A dispatch from Alexandria, sent at 9.22 to-night says it is supposed the Egyptian troops have evacuated the town, as the fires to night are assuming larger proportions. The town is reported to be almost empty, and it is believed has been left to the low Arabs, or possibly the Bed ouins, to plunder. The darkness of the night makes the conflagration appear very vivid. It is supposed the town is being reduced to ashes wilfully. At sunset the white flag was still flying. The causes that lead to the present war in Egypt are many and complex, and withal very difficult to understand by the average American. Egypt is a dependency of Turkey and as badly governed. In 1876, Ismail Pasha, the Khedive, had brought the country in to an alarming condition financially. The interests of foreign bondholders were at stake and France and England became alarmed for their supremacy of the Suez canal. The two governments made an alliance against Egypt, and notified the Pasha that he must stop his extravagance and reform his gov ernment, which he promised to do but failed, and in 1879 he was compelled to abdicate. Tewpik Pa aha, became the ruling head under supervision of Eng land and France. Of course the Sul tan consented to this arrangement, simply because he could uot provent it. Thousands of foreigners were, appoint ed to lucrative offlcos, which was a con stand sourco'of irritation to the Egyp" ti ans, and this is the more immediate cause of the war. A national party which includes the army, has been formed under the leadership of Arubi Hey, the Minister of War, and their battle cry is "Egypt for the Egyptians 1 * Alexandria is demolished by the Brit ish war ships, but further military op erations must be carried on by land. K ngland has the sympathy of the great powers now, but the "balance of pow er" question may soon become a troub lesome factor. Tne small beginning at Alexandria 011 the 11th iust may lead to a general European war. MARRIED. On the Ist of Jnuo, at Spring Mills, by Rcy. W. E. Fisher, Mr. I>avld C.
