a good supply of venison and a bruin or two
are looked for later.
We were favored with a call from our genial
and talented ministerial friend, Char'es T.
Aikens, who just returned from Lutheran
Synod. Gossip had him return with a bride,
but we did not credit the matter, as he would
surely have told us so.
D. H. Koch was the loser of six head of
young cattle last week with a disease not
unlike rinderpest, the symptoms being watery
eyes, arched back, urine bloody and scanty»
the victim lasting about twenty-four hours af-
ter the apperance of the disease.
The potato crop is a poor one on account of
rot, consequently better prices are offered
than at this time last year. Clover seed is also
¢ poor crop. Some farmers are leaving it in
the field while others are gathering it, make
what it will. Owing to the wet season pasture
is plenty and stock of all kinds is doing well.
Sheep are scarce and in demand at good prices:
The picnic at Pine Hall last Saturday was
quite well attended. The’ day was all thal
could have been desired for an out door din-
ner, in which those people cannot be excelled,
as we speak from observation. D.H. Weaver
and C. T. Aikens occupied the centre of the
table, were first seated and the last to leave.
It was only when the Pine Hall band struck
up with music that they were reminded that
the table was to be cleared.
The death of Adolphus Gates occurred at
the home of his parents, Joseph and Mary
Gates, of kidney disease on the 2nd inst, aged
34 years, 4 months and 12 days. His remains
were interredion the 4th inst. in the Pine Hall
cemetery. His ministerial friend, C. T. Aik-
ens, had charge of the religious exercises.
He was a reserved, clever and kind man, a
member of the Lutheranchnrch,and a most wor-
thy man in all respects. His bereaved parents
and the community may well regret his death,
for he was indeed a man in whom there was no
guile.
Philipsburg Pickings.
A Batch of Interesting News Collected and
Written By Our Own Special
Correspondent.
A ball willbe given in the hall of Brinton,
Duncan & Barnes, on next Monday evening.
Real, geruine, snow flake: were noticed fly-
ing thickly through the atmosphere on last
Tuesday, in this section.
“The Eagle Hotel” is the name of John Erb’s
new hotel, which he has just erected on corner
of Fifth and Spruce streets.
The borough is having Pine street extended
out through the Hale land to the hospital
which will give a direct route tothe hospital.
W. H. McCausland has in course of “erection
a two story frame building next to his resi-
dence which will be used as an express office
and business offices.
The hospital building is rapidly ascending
heavenward. Work upon the main portion of
the building, which will be of brick, was com-
menced last week.
J. N. Schoonover has purchased the Shontz
property on corner of Seventh and Presqueisle
street, and occupied the same the other day.
We are informed that he intends converting
his stone residence on Front street into store
rooms and offices.
We doubt if there is or ever has been any-
thing in Philipsburg that makes as much clear
money as the proprietors are making out of
the steam cable riding gallery. They average
two dollars every seven minutes, which, not
counting what they make through the day,
from six p. m., to twelve they rake in quite a
snug sum of money.
Mr. John Kenyon's lease of the Electric
Light plant expired one day last week, and
therefore the management passes back to the
company. However, a practical electrician
has arrived, and will superintend the thing
hereafter. The company are also replacing
the lamps with new ones, with hopes of light-
ing the streets more satisfactorily. We hope
the change will be for the better.
The school directors requested the resigna-
tions of two of our school marms the other
day. The one stepped down and out, but the
other possitively refused to give up her school.
On Monday morning she was at her “post of
duty,” and still refused to resign. An officer
was sent for, and not until his arrival did she
relinquish her school. It is claimed that
the teachers in question are incapable of
controlling their schools (who are the smallest
children) and for that reason they were asked
to resign.
We are enabled this week to give the names
and dates of the lectures which we will have |
|
a. m.
this winter, and which will come here under
auspices of the Mountain Wheel Club. They
are as follows: On October 24th, John R.
Clarke; subject, “To and Fro in London.”
November 24th, John DeWitt Miller; subject
“Uses of Ugliness.” December 2nd, Robert
Nourse; subject, “John and Jonathan.” De-
cember 12th, Leland I. Powers, impersonator;
subject, “David Copperfield.” This, we learn,
is only half of the course, and the balance will
Ise secured later on.

Rags, Rags Rags.
No Money in Rag Picking, but as
Healthy Business as Any.
A prominent rag dealer says when
business is so bad that the dealer can
hardly make both ends meet, God only
knows how the pickers manage to get
along. And the life they lead is some-
thing terrible. Their’s is one continual
striving to get enough to keep body
and soul together. No man will re-
main at picking rags unless he be a
drunken bum or to old to do any man-
ual labor. The majority of the rag pick-
ers are the poor Jews who lands in this
country by the hundreds annually.
They are the only class of people that
can live on what they earn by buying
and selling rags.
These people can live on ten or fif-
teen cents a day. Their homes are
on the top floors of erowded tenements.
Here they are crowded together like so
many swine. He has been in the rag
and paper business all his life, and is
thoroughly conversant with the life of
a rag picker. Several yesrs ago they
were able to make anywhere fron $10 to
$20 a waek. Then rags were selling
for 2 and 3 cents a pound. This Hg
been cut down so that the rag picker is
glad to get sixty or seventy cents a
hundred. Many of the pickers have
given up their trade, or profession, as
some of them are pleased to term their
employment, and taken to the road
—tramping.
The rag picker to earn five or six
dollars a weck must travel a considerable
distance and trudge from morning till
night, and the peddlers, those who have
horses and wagonsmake very little
more. If they make any big money it
is by buying stolen goods or during the
months of April and May when the
business receives quite a boom. During
house cleaning tiie the rag pickers are
frequently given the rubbish for hauling
away. People are glad to get their
places cleaned up and their rag-bags
emptied. Since the introduction of
Se gas,the ra g business has increas-
ed.
The pickers in the city do little trad-
ing, as their customers are not so easily
duped as the country people, and they
do not have to quibble over a cent or
two. A good many rags are sent into the
city from the country grocery stores,
most of which are taken in exchange
for goods. This class of rags finds a
ready sale. The profits are not large, !
but they are usually so well assorted
that there is little or no expense attached
in the dealer handling them.
The business is not what it used to be,
but there is still a Mttle margin in
buying and selling. It is not the
cleanest business in the world, but not-
withstanding all the talk, it is about
as healthy an occupation as one can
engage in.—N. ¥. Dispatch.
Autumn Arbor Day.
Dr. E. E. Higbee, Superintendent of
Public Instruction, has issued his annu-
al proclamation regarding the au-
tumn school Arbor Day. Friday Octo-
ber 18, is fixed for the date. Dr. Hig-
bee says .
“The results to be reached by the ob-
servance of Arbor Day are not yet ac-
complished. ‘Where school grounds are
already properly ornamented with
groves and lawns, so that no further
work of the kind is needed, let such a
sentiment be established among the
children by suitable exercises and in-
structions as shall make itself felt in all
their homes, by leading to the planting
of fruit and shade trees, the enlargement
of fruit orchards, and the ornamenta-
tion of yards with shrubbery and vines.
Let the schools, by repeated celebra-
tions of Arbor day, create such a gener-
al, widespread ieeling in this matter as
shall make it impossible, for the next
generation at least, to lay out or enlarge
a hamlet or village or city without hav-
ing in view wide, shaded streets and
lawns and parks, and embowered drive-
ways, which will give so much addition-
al charm to the beautiful scenery of our
Commonwealth.

A Deadly Kentucky Feud.
CHICAGO, Oct. 5.—A dispatch from
Jamboree, Pike county, Ky., via Paw-
paw, W.Va., says: The old Hatfield-
McCoy feud has broken out again, and
at least three more lives have been sacri-
ficed in the bloody vendetta, which has
now lasted over seven years. The
shooting occurred at a marriage at the
farmhouse of Peter McCoy.
His daughter was to become the wife of
John Hand, a relative of the Hatfield
gang, and members of both factions had
sworn to prevent the union. Hand had
never been connected with the disputes
of the factions and refused to recognize
the leaders.
SHOT THROUGH THE WINDOW.
Tuesday night the bridal party assem-
bled in" McCoy’s house, and just as
young Hand and Miss McCoy stood be-
fore the minister a volley was poured
through a window, which killed both of
them and fatally wounded the clergy-
man.
Reports say that the farmers and
mountaineers of the locality are hunt-
ing for the murderers, but no trace of
them have been found.
HISTORY OF THE FEUD.
No feud in the history of the country
has been followed with more deadly re-
sults than this feud between the Hat-
fields, of Logan county, W. Va., and
the McCoys, of Pike county, Ky.
It began during the war, about 1862,
between Jim Vance, of the Hatfield
crowd, and Harmon McCoy. Ever
since it has been prosecuted with fatal
activity. Men, women and children
have been butchered in open warfare or
by ambuscade.
‘No less than twenty-two murders
have been committed. This will make
twenty-six. It was thought the war
would close when Elihu Hatfield, at
Charlestown, W. Va., was sentenced to
hang last month and two of his confed-
erates got life sentences for their crimes.
There cannot be many of either fami-
ly left, but the present outbreak of hos-
tilities proves the undying malice that
controls the combatants.
A Goose Bone Forecast.
Henry Stillman, of Woodstock, Conn.,
has made his annual forecast of winter
by a goose bone. He says the bone shows
clearly that we will have an open win-
ter.
A bone taken from a goose hatched in
May by Mr. Stillman shows a row of
dots around the keel of it, indicating the
probable temperature. The darker these
spots are the colder the weather is sure
to be. It is asserted that the marks di-
viding the bone indicate the three winter
months, December beginning at the
front. Mr. Stillman says he has read
the lore closely and finds that it indi-
cates more regular weather than last
year and not so severe as even the last
mild winter. There will not be many
days during which running water will
freeze. The coldest.weather will occur
during the latter half of Janury, and
during that time there will be several
days of freezing.
Near the point of the bone is a mark-
ed discoloration, showing that the first
day of winter will give proof of the sea-
son’s change. Christmas will be “green,”
but wet and cold. Janury’s entrance
will be marked with warm days, grow-
ing gradually colder. The coldest day
of winter willjbe January 27. The brief
spell of severe weather will be succeeded
by heavy thaws, and the traditional
January thaw will come in February.
This month will be a disagreeable one,
with heavy snows and rains. An early
and decided thaw is among the promises
of the bone. February will burst into
March with swollen mountain streams,
and disastrous floods may be looked for.
There will be an early spring.
A Soldier Whe Did Not Shoot.
‘While the annual reunions of the
Confederate veterans are being held ov-
er the State there is a member of Com-
pany I, of the Forty-first Georgia Regi-
ment, living in this county, who was in
every battle fought by his regiment, in
every skirmish in which his company
was engaged, in every charge made by
his command, and did not fire a gun.
He was then and is now a minister of
the gospel. He did not believe in kill-
ing men and frequently charged the en-
emy with a yell, saw his comrades fall
by his side, and whether routing the
Union soldiers or being routed he would
not shoot. He was always ready for
duty—stood guard, remained at the
picket post and obeyed implicitly every
command of his superior officers, except
to draw cartridges, load his gun and
shoot. At New Hope Church, on the
retreat from Dalton, several rounds of
cartridges were issued to the soldiers and
he took one and a short time afterward
he was struck by a spent ball, but not
bart. This remarkable man is a suc-
cessful tarmer and a splendid Bible-
Christian preacher and is named Zach-
arish P. Hardigree.—Haralson (Ga.)

The Public School Law.
The public school law now in force in
this State provides that the use of pro-
fane and obscene language by any pu-
pil shall constitute god cause for expul-
sion from schools; also that any who
shall cut, deface or otherwise injure
school houses, fences or outbuildings
thereof are liable to suspension and pun-
ishment, and the parents of such pupil
shall be liable for damages for the
amount of injury on complaint by the
teacher, the amount to be determined
by the Directors and collected through
the Court. The school house is a good
place toenforce the law of the State. It
is but one step from the school muster
to the court.
The work of disinfecting the
flooded districts in Johnstown was no
small affair. The disinfectants used

chloride of lime, 25 tons; Quibble’s
liquid, 1,000 barrels ; rosin, 140 barrels ;
tar, 140 barrels; pitch 100 barrels;

—A well known woman of Racine,
Wis., recently underwent two surgical
Lewing’ Philadelphia Branch Clothing House.
operations with peculiar result. She hus
been troubled with severe pains in her
left arm and right leg for a long time,
and treatments by various physicians
afforded no relief. Some daysago she
consulted Dr. Senn, of Milwaukee, who
opened the arm. He discovered a nee-
dle embedded in the tissues and muscles
ot the arm, which hé removed. The
operation afforded the patient temporary
relief, but pains continued in the right
leg. Dr. Senn was again called and
operated on the leg, finding a second
limb. The doctor says the case is a
most peculiar one, especially so as the
patient cannot imagine when or how
the needles entered her body.
TE FEL EL STATA.
—There was a romantic wedding the
other day on top of the Allegheny
Mountain. The bride was truly fair to
behold, being one of the rosy mountain
girls, Miss Honard. The groom was a
splendid specimen of manhood. The
mountain selected is directly upon the
border between the Virginias. The bride
and groom rode up and dismounted.
They were met there by Rev. Mr. Suer-
ren, & Methodist minister from White
Sulphur Springs. The wedded couple
stood upon the Virginia side, while the
clergyman stood over the line in West
Virginia, as he could not perform the
ceremony in Virginia.
