City-hall Square, Near Broad Street Station, Philadelphia John Wanamaker, Frozen to Death. The Wilkes-Barro Jtccord gives tlio following account of tho finding of a dead man in tho lower end of Luzcrno county. "Somu time during Friday forenoon tracks were discovered crossing tho liver on tho ioo a short distance this ideof Shlckshlnny, which tho parties making tho discovery, in their igno lanco of ursal anatomy mistook for tho trail ol a bear, forgetting that a bear being a quadruped, would necessarily mako twice ns many tracks as a man, consequently tho distances between must bo in n corresponding mcasuru shorter. But they were fully bent up on following up tho supposed bear and to capturo him if possible. Tho trail was plainly marked in Iho light snow and foi lowed up towards Klino's saw mill, two miles nway, where thoy dis covered that the animal, whatever it was, had broken through tho ice, but had gotten out nnrl gone on to near tho saw mill. Hern it crossed und recross i(l tho river, and in doing so broke through tho liver five times, but still went on. The trail there left tho river and was followed to where tho creature had mado a soit of nest in nn old treo top and crawled into tho brush for a rest. Krom this point tho tracks re turned to near tho track of the Xorth tfc West Bianch H. H., where at about 2 o'clock the body of an unknown man was discovered lying in tho snow with no clothim? on except an undershirt and led ll.i-inel drawers pulled down over the feet, imp 1 which weie a pair of cotton btockingj. Oiherwiio tin body was void of nny clothing what ever. A pair of nautnioous were found at a short distance. Thero was noth ing about the body or clothing by which it could bo identified. The cloth ing was of fair quality, showing that the man had evidently not been of tho genus tramp. IIo was apparently from '. In 30 imm-a n( nrtn r. fnnt 1 ;.,!,., in height, weight about 140 pounds. IIo had pretty heavy sandy brown hair and light colored moustache. Thero was a scar on the forehead with n de pression of skull over tho rinht eve nar- allel with the forehead. IIo was evi dently not a miner as no marks of coal were louiul anywhere on his person. ' ..Holiday s issue says : Further investigations havo thrown some additional light on tho case of tho unknown man found frozen to death near Shickshinny on Friday. On Sat urday morning his coat, vest and shoes were found on the 'river bank not far from Shickshinny, proving that ho had wandered in a semi-nude condition imuch farther than at first believed. In ono of the pockets of thd coat was a memorandum book in which was writ ten a note, dated Cleveland, Ohio, rec ommending tiie bearer, John Kobinson, to parties in Pittsburgh. Tho note stated that he was a capable stone cut ter, able to take the foremanship of a yard. There was also a certificate to the effect that John Robinson was a member of the Stono Cutters' Association of Pittsburg. Telegrams were sent to Cleveland and Pittsburg and an an swer was received from tlio former place that no such man was known there. Wo have not heard of any re ply from Pittsburg. There is now no doubt that the unfortunate man died from exposure, and was probably de ranged. No valuables were found in any of the clothing. The Country Editor. Somebody has written up the coun try editor in about two columns of non pareil for a New York paper. The subject is not so unpromising as it may at first appear. Tho country editor has a hard road to travel. IIo is the reporter, bookkeeper, mechanical super intendent, business mannger, eullector, mailing machine and solicting agent of the establishment. His work is hard, his receipts small and his creditors nu merous. Li a small town an editor lias to steer his course so as to avoid trivinc offenso to different circles of society, the religious denominations, tho busi ness community, and tho rural popula tion. If an influential old farmer wants a three column notico of his new barn, it must appear, or the editor may lose a hundred subscribers. Patchwork quilts, big beets and phenomenal eggs also clamor for spaco in tho columns of the country paper. In the courso of time tho rural scribo becomes either jocose or morose, but in either frame ot mind lie continues to mako mends who demand freo advertising, and ene mies who work against him. The country editor is always getting ready to abandon journalism for something else, but ho rarely carries out his threat. no ginerally Uies in harness. In some wild communities editors occasionally meet with rough treatment. Some times they are driven out of the coun try, nuil when other methods of getting rid of them fail they aro sent to tho Le.' islature. Tho city editor gets a good deal of fun out of tho country editor's work, but the man who bears tho bur den regards it ,s a soiious business. And in tho best sense it is serious. Tho little local weeklies scattered all over tho country aro all in their way poten tial factors of civilization. They de velop their localities, bring their re sources before tho world, and in a man ner editcato their readers. They nro always on the side of the churches, tho schools, progress and roform. Men who live and die working for such ob jects are public benefactors and deservo a substantial reward. Atlanta Con stitution. Tho Copland system of nsphallio wood pavement, introduced in London, is claimed to meot some of tho most important Requirements for tho puritoso which have hitherto been unfulfilled, and, though nioie costly at first than soino other methods of roadway con htruction, its durability and satisfac tory wear moro than meet that point. Tho advantage of simplicity is tit once presented, namely, a bed of concrete, with n layer of ;nsphalt over it, upon which nio laid transverse coruses of red pine blocks, with intermediate spaces i these spaces aro filled in partly with heated mabtio asphalt, and then with coarse limo nnd gravel grout, flushed with hot nir, to tho Buriaco of tho roadway. Finally, about an inch of rough gravel is spread over the whole, and lett to be worked in and compacted by the ordinary effect of traflio. ' Tho Hungarians of the Connelsvillo coal region, are threatened with dynamite.
