the effect of making the houses tenant-
less, That may come in time.
On Friday last while James Gal-

subject will be “Reminiscences of Prison
Lite during the War’ and as the Gen-
eral is one of the most distinguished at-
torneys of Philadelphia, as well as a
pleasing and eloquent talker, the lecture
will undoubtedly be an entertainment
of much merit.
It has been customary for the Post at
tuis place to havea dinner on Washing-
ton’s birthday, but it has been given up
for this year, owing to the stringency ot
trade in this vicinity and the lecture

charitable purposes only, their recent
resolution does not forbid its use.

litany and sermon at 10.30 a. m., and

Dr. Ruong SerrovsLy Hurr.—Dur-

the pavements were in an almost impass-

it necessary to transact some business in

doors from his home on Alleghany
street. He reached the office and was
returning when, in crossing Cherry al-
ley, he slipped and fell, dislocating his
hip and sustaining other injuries, He
was carried into the house where he suf-
fered great pain for some time. Itis to
be hoped that the fall will not have a
serious result, as the doctor is too old a
man to survive much strain on his sys-
tem.

committed the deed.

been set aside for literary training by
the principal of the High school and the
work has been meeting with remarkable
success. On Monday afternoon the ex-
ercises were specially interesting, all the
young ladies and gentlemen acquitting
themselves creditably. We are glad to
see such work being encouraged in our

mora than another that this country
needs, it is men and women who, when
they have something to say, can say it
in a way that will demand attention.

Last Friday the horses attached

their heads to run away. In their flight
along the mill race, past Jenkins & Lin-
gle’s machine shop, the wagon collided
with a telephone pole and separated
from the tongue with which the animals
continued their flight up High street
where they were stopped. The horses
were not hurt, but the wagon was so
much damaged that it had to be taken
to a shop for repairs. There is always
more excitement than profit in a run-
away.
WHAT a FarHER’S Love WILL Do.
—On the 30th of last July, while the
little son of Mr. William Musser, to-
gether with some playmates, was play-
ing about a fire which they had built
over near their home on Reynold’s Ave.,
his mother called to him to put it out
lest be might be burned. The little boy
not heeding Mrs. Mussersent her pretty,
ten year old daughter to extinguish it.
Mary went down where the children
were playing und attempted to take her
brother home, but while she was pull-
ing him away the back of her dress
caught fire and in an instant the poor
little things clothing was all ablaze, the
flames even leaping up to her wavy
golden hair. Her frightened screams
soon brought the mother to her child
and the clothes were quickly torn off,
but alas Mary’s back and limbs were
literally burned to a crisp. Everything
known to medical science was done to
relieve her sufferings, but she continued
growing worse until her life was despair-
ed of. Despite all efforts the skin and
flesh began to drop off and the little one
being compelled to lie on her stomach |
all the time, was sinking rapidly. When
a different treatment was given, how-
ever, she slowly began to rally and has
been lying in bed ever [since. Appar-
ently she seems quite well and is an ex-
ceedingly bright and pleasant littie en-
tertainer to her many visitors, Her
physician has been doing everything to |
get the skin to grow over the burned
places, but without avail; so the only re-
source was to {ry skin grafting. Aec-
cordingly the father’s arm was bared and
carefully washed with acidulated water
and a trial made. The grafts grew rap-
idly and asecond, a third and even a
fourth operation being performed very
successfully. The grafted skin is grow-
ing nicely and the doctor hopes ere long
that Mary’s burns may be compietely
healed. Mr. Musser endured the pain
of the cutting without a semblance of
hurt, being inspired by the love for his
pretty blue-eyed daughter.
Tairty-Five Years MARRIED.—
Mr. and Mrs. Andrew J. Shivery cele-
brated the 85th year of their marriage
on Tuesday evening, the 10th inst.
Their home on north Allegheny street
was the scene of a very pleasant gather-
ing of friends and relatives who came to
pay homage to the ones who had spent
so many years of happy married life.
Mr. Shivery isan excellent type of that
highly successful class of people, the re-
tired farmer, which is exercising such an
influence over the country to-day. He
having made his snug bank account by
hard labor,on the fine farm,he owns, just
a few miles above town, and now having
reached the time when work is no long-
er necessary, he has settled himself for a
life of comfort and ease.

birthday on Tuesday and among the
ones who were there to join the festivi-
tics and wish them a long and happy
life were .

party of friends and relatives gathered
at the home of Mr. and Mrs. H. F. Mec-
Dowell near Howard, for a night's pleas-
ure and to pay their respeets to those
estimable people. Notwithstanding the
stormy weather many persons from
Howard, Walker, Mackeyville and
Snow Shoe were present to mingle with
the joyous party. A supper was served
in the dining room and everything that
one’s appetite would crave was ‘on
the tables. The excellence with which
the many courses were served proves be-
yond a doubt that Mrs. McDowell is an
adept in the culinary art.
After the supper the eveming was
spent in music, games and dancing the
music for which was furnished by Miss
Clara Kline, of Cedar Run, who is gain-
ing quite a reputation for her dance
music as well as for her fortune telling.
I have had the pleasuse of attending a
great many dances, but the one of Sat-
urday excels by far any previous one I
have been to. The company was hon-
ored by the presence of Mrs. Blair and
Mr. D. M. Allison, of Ohio. Ep.

It was the celebration of the marriage
of Miss Carrie M. Quigley, daughter of
Capt. Jas. A. Quigley, the leading mer-
chant of that place, to Mr. W. D.
Home, of New Brunswick, N. Y. The

from a distance were present to witness
the ceremony and the presents were
numerous and elegant. A bridal tour
through the south is being taken, after
which they will enter a snug littlehome
in New Brunswick, which the groom
has prepared.
About the meanest trick that was
ever played on a confiding woman by a
low-down cuss of the masculine gender,
was that played by a fellow named
Charles Gordon on Miss Mary Kephart
near Huntinglon. Upon short ac-
quaintsnce he became engaged to be
married to the young woman. The
presents were arriving and the honey-
moon trip was projected. The groom
secured $250 from the bride-elect and
her mother, to make additional purchas-
es, and taking the first train west left

years old, has been on a three months’
leave of absence from the regular army
and it is thought that he is now on his
way to join his command. Officers are
on his tack.
