Vn hear that young ladles In society

A ni Mi has been passed in Ohio ad
mitting ns competent Jurors persons
who may havo formed an opinion as to
the guilt or Innocenco of tho accused
from reading newspaper accounts of tho
allowed offence. It should, nnd proba
bly will be, tho law in overy State.
Is that unpleasant and distorting dis
ease, tho mumps, no longer extant? It
certainly does not prevail to tho extent
It nnco did. In old times nil well-bo-hovrd
and properly o'lucaled children
had a chance, but now-n-dnys scarcely
tinyono seems to suffer, and mumps
may bo considered n relic of tho past.
On Friday morning Intt (.has. Folke,
of Catnwissa, a brakeman, vns killed
by n freight train. His breast was
frightfully cru.-hed, nnd death must
havo been instantaneous. It Is pre
sumed that ho must have fallen from
tho train whilst engaged In his duties.
His body was qulto cold when found.
Tjik occasional explosions of coal oil
lamps from attempts toextlngulsh them
by Mowing down tho chimney, give
value to tho following suggestion: Give
n sharp, but rather prolonged puff, nt
right angles with tho top of tho chim
ney. Tho draft thus produced draws
the tlamo away from tho wick, and tho
lamp goes out.
Tub Miner's Journal, of Pottsville,
earnestly counsels against tho proposed
appointment of John Slnoy, tho chief
of tho "Workmen's Benevolent Socie
ty," on tho Iloar Labor Commission.
Ho is, it is claimed, a man utterly un
fit for such a position of responsibility,
and his actiou in provoking last year's
strikes provo him no friend of tho
worklngmen.
Cai't. Brcckway, of tho General
Judiciary Committee of tho House, has
been appointed Chairman of n Sub
committee to examlno into tho condi

Tho first ono to be examined Is tho Del

tho Committee havo gone to New York
for that purpose.
A Minnesota paper gives on account
of tho bursting of a mince pie, whilst
taking it from tho oven, tho scalding
contents of which caused tho death of
a small boy. Wo don't believe it
thcro must bo somo mistake. It was
probably tho boy who burst nfter eat
ing tho pie, but that tho plo should ox
plodo outsldo instead of insido tho boy,
is Incredible.
A HIM. exempting journnlists from
Jury duty has passed ono houso of tho
California Legislature, and such n bill
might profitably pats in this State.
Journalists, from tho very nnturo of
tholr business, which requires publiea
tion of court matters with their vlows,
should bo oxcuscd. Weshould bo glad
to havo such a. law in forco iiero.
Stop Shooting. It ehould bo kept

Tin: present seems to bo tho most
dangerous season for railroad traveling,
Accidents nro reported from nil parts
of tho country, nnd wo do not open n
paper but what chronicles ono In lis
vicinity. .Most of (hem nro laid to tho
nccount of broken tails, caused by tho
cold nnd changeable weather. In tho
present condition of our railroad sys
tem, tho utmost precautions appear to
bo unnblo to provent such accidents
from happening, nnd generally, too
when they aro least oxpected by tho
rnllrnnfl ittlinpa
Heveuai, communications aro una
voidably crowded out this wcolc. They
will receive duo attention.
John h. Cahijy has tendered his re
signation in Court Crier. It U pre
sumed that his successor will bo ap

WiJ nro grieved to record tho dtrilh
of Mrs, William M. Quick, nt Rupert,
on bundoy last. Sirs. Quick was a sis-
ter of Col. .1. G. Freeze, olid wos well
known to our citizens ns a faithful mid
efficient teacher, nnd nn nnitublq and
Intelligent woman,

Dit. F. Flesiiutt, of Iiaporte, .Sulli
van county, was nrrestsd In Muncy on
Saturday Inst on tho charge of discharg
ing n pistol at Dr. Geo. Trcou, of North

tho doctor merely fired his pistol to get
tho load out. Nobody hurl.
O.v tho 22d Inst., being tho anniver
sary of tho recognition of tho Blooms
burg Literary Institute as a Stnto Nor
mal School, rhetorical exercises will be
held lu tho afternoon nt 1! o'clock, nnd
a lecture will bo delivered in tho eve
ning at 7 o'clock. There will also bo
some musical entertainment.
Ox Wednesday night, February 7,
tho EChool houso nt Alinas Cole's In
Sugnrloaf township was destroyed by
lire. Most of tho books belonging to
tho children were burned. A defec
tive stove-pipe Is supposed to have
been tho cause.
Wii aro informed that Messrs. .luck-
son & Woodin, of Berwick, intend lay
ing a branch road from tho L. & B. U.Ii.
to pass nround tho town and connect
with their largo car works, tliua afford-
ng greater facilities for Bonding on'lhclr
cars. The constant Increase of their
business "has, wo presume, rendered
this undertaking necessary.
The scarcity of water Is becoming
seriously annoying, many wells and
springs usually considered unfailing,
having run dry. The small amount of
rain which has fallen during the win
ter, and tho frozen state in which tho
earth has remained since fall, aro now
causing much inconvenience. A heavy
fall of rain or n continuous lhaw is no
cesary to fill i'p our depicted water
fountains.
Accordino to n lato decision, rail
roads hnvo not tho power to say in
what amount of damages they are res
ponsible for los of baggage. The courts
hold that it can bo fixed according to
ictual loss, bo it largo or small. Tho
amo principle will apply to injuries to
imb and loss or life, tho courts nnd
uries being tho proper authorities to
fix that.
We do not know exactly how far tho
uithority of tho Town Council extends
In relation to street crossings, but, if it
is in tho power of that nugust body, wo
should bo pleased to see tho Main streot
crossings at Market street raised In such
a manner ns to allow tho water to run
off. As it is, a dreary waste of mud re
mains to bo waded, In journeyings to
nnd from tho Postofilce, trying to tlio
temper and ruinous to boots and cloth
ing. Many housekeepers fall into tho error
ol supposing that they practice economy
by purchasing of tho strolling pedler.s
of tho "cheap John" persuasion. Xoth
ing Is further from tho truth, ns. in
nlno cases out of ten tho goods thus
bought aro of most Inferior quality,
nnil dear at tho lowest price. It is safer
nnd cheaper to purchaso of known
and established merchants, who havo a
reputation to preserve and who order
their ways accordingly.
It has been remnrked aforetime that
all tho persons deficient in common
sense have not as yet perished from tho
earth. They havo somo in Chicago,
nnd recently these idiots started a story
that n man, who had just been vaccl
natcd, was seized by hydrophobia. Of
course it was false, but who knows how
many deaths may bo attributed to it,
ntnong those who believed it and pre
ferred facing small pox rather than tho
dreaded hydrophobia.
Readeus of tho Coi.umwan may
remember tho robbery of Mr. Louis
Bernhardt storo on tho nth of January
last, when n box of watches was taken.
On Friday morning Inst Mr. Bombard
found on tho porch of his dwelling
houso tho box containing tho watches,
with tho excoption of three, und those
wero not the most valuable. Tho box
had evidently been In tho woods, as
pieces of pine wero found Inside. No
clue has yet been found to the thief,
who has becomo alarmed and returned
tho watches to prevent detection.
The editors of certain papers In tlio
mining regions must have u largo
amount of spnro time on their hands,
If wo may judge from tho local columns
of'thelr papers, which contain, weekly,
articles claiming for their respective
towns tlio greatest number of pretty
girls. As tho question is ono which
from its nature, can nover bo settled,
these gentlemen might better employ
their timo and space. Tho discussion
Is, not to put too fino a point on it,
somewhat ridiculous,
If there nio any ungodly persons In
this country who aro In thohnbllof
using Sunday for tlio purposes of hunt
Ing, wo beg to call their attention to
tho following extract from tho lnwc of
Pennsylvania. A pcrtisnl may savo
somo money, nnd perhaps a compul
sory visit to tho countyjall:
Sec. 7. Thero shall bo no shooting,
hunting, or trapping on tho first day
of tlio week called Sunday, nnd nnv
person or persons offending ugalnst tho
provisions of this net, shall, on convic

Curtain Fact. livery Democrnt In
tho county needs i party paper during
tho approaching political campaign. A
President, VIco President, Governor,
Member of Congress nnd a county
ticket nro. to. bo elected. Every good
citizen is vitally Interested In tho re

It to himself to ba thoroughly posted
In political and party nffalrs. This ho

paper.
It U popularly supposed that thcro
Is veiy little superstition nt tho present
day. yet theio uro many persons who
aio influenced by a belief in lucky and
unlucky days, good and bad omens,
etc. Dream-books nro still bouirhtund
read by vast nunibrrsof people through
out tho laud, und, what Is worse, nro
b"Hoved In. Mankind is naturally
prono to prying Into tho mysterious aniT
dabbling in tho muddy waters of the
supernatural; hence, the desiro whlcl
btlll exists for thoso most absurd and
unreasonable humbugs, books of proph
ecies and dream-books, nnd in those
greater swindles, fortune tellers nnd
seer..
AT the last term of court in Tunk-
lianuock, Judgo Elwell in passing sen
tence on Harry Ward for Ilia killing of
Wesley E. Slmder, mado use of tho fol
lowing language:
'The lesson which this ease tenches
has Its moral, which young men esnn-
chilly will do well to heed. It is this:
Mat dissipation olten leads to crime.
It also shows that neither brilliant ta
lents, n polished education, nor hlirh so
cial position, protect their poe'sor
from punishment if he be gulltv of an
offence against tho law."
Certnlnly nothing could havo been In
better taste, time and place considered,
than this solemn warning : but tho
Bradford Argux does not seem to think
so, 'ns, In H3 report of the Judge's ad
dress, these sentences aro omitted a
row of stars being placed to mark tho
ellipsis. Does tho Argus dispute tho
truthfulness of tho words, or has it
friends whoso feelings might bo hurt
by them?
At about ono o'clock on Tuesday
night, tho large steam grist mill uf
Henry C. Frees at Berwick was discov
ered to bo on lire, and iu a short time
wns entirely consumed together with
tho contents. There wero in the mill
at tho timo of its destruction COD bar
rels of flnur ready for shipment, 1,100
busho's of oats, 20 tons of chop, and a
quantity of wheat. The building was
worth nt least $ir,000on which thcro
was an Insurance of $11,000. Tho
stock, which was owned by Thompson
it Jnyne, tho lessees, was insured for
$0,000, which is probably very nearly
its value. Tho lock houso of tho canal,
adjoining, was also burned, tho tenant
saving most or ins property, xiic largo
pump of the Water Company which
supplies tho borough with water, hnv
ing been destroyed, the citizens will bo
subjected to much Inconvenience for

Tnuni: Is a class of people in this

nent peculiarity is whining. They
whlno because they aro poor; or, If
rich, becauso they havo no health to

it Is too shiny ; they whlno because
they havo "no luck," nnd others' pros
perity exceed theirs ; they whlno be
cause some frlonds havo died und thoy
aro still living; they whlno becauso
they havo aches and pains, and they
havo aches und pnlns becauso they
whine, nnd they whlno no ono can tell
why. Now wo would llko to say n word
to theso whining persons. First, stop
whining It Is of no use, this overlastlng
complaining, fretting, fault-llndlnguud
whining. Why, you nro tho most de
luded set of creatures that over lived 1
Do you know that It Is n well sottled
principle of physiology and common
sense, that these habits are moro ox
hausting to nervous vitality thau nl

pretty much us you muko It ? ou can
mako it bright und sunshiny, or you
can mako It dark und shadowy. This
