On Fri day last week, near Albilghtsvllle, lu Kid der township, thu wife of Mr. Peter Smehl, daughter of tho late Joseph Serlass, gave birth to a male child weighing nineteen pounds. The weighing was done by thu wife of Jury Commissioner Hawk on the day of birth. We venture to remark that this is one of the most remarkable case- of big baby on record. Untortunately, tho child died on Tuesday last Mauch Chunk Dfinotml. At this season of the year tcacheis and directors of public schools should be ex tremely careful In their treatment of chil dren. The sudden changes and variable condition of the weather, with careless ex poHire, combine to maku this one of the most unhealthy periods. The diseases in cident to childhood arc now prevalent, and they aro very much facilitated by tho changeable coudltiyu of tho weather. Chil dren should bu warmly clad before leaving home, und have good sound shoes. They should bent once admitted to a.comfort ablc room upon their an ivul ut school. A little common-sense discretion now will prevent a great deal of sickness. Ez. One of the last acts of the Into Congress on the eve of adjournment wus the passage of a postal law which makes two impor tant changes in the existing one. The law will lake effect July 1st, 1883. After that date letters will be carried for two cents nn ounce instead of two cents a half ounce. This will save a great deal of annoyance, as most letters now weigh so near the half ounce that pcrsous aro often required to pay two cents extra for a letter that is of no value to them. The other change in the law Is currying newspapers lrom pub lishers for one cent a pound instead of two ns heietofore, und nllow publishers to send marked copies to an) body at the same rate. Close observers of the ground hog as a weather prognostlcator say Unit If thu 2nd duy of February is dark and cloudy the little animal will maku his appearance and remain out, und we cau look for warm weather the balance of the winter, but it the day be clear lie will return to his haunts, nnd we look for cold weather for six weeks, until he makes his appearance again. If the day be clear on his second appearance, we will have a continuation of the colli for two weeks more. Monday of last week, March 16th, the six weeks were up nnd the day was bright and clear. Since that time mercury has registered at zero the majority of the days, but Monday next the two weeks are up and we hope the ground hog will be so completely frozo out that he may be taught u lesson aud not venture forth another winter. Tho State Normal School of the Otli dis trict, ut Bloomsburg, Columbia Co., Pa., will begin thu Bpriug Teim Monday, April 0, 1885. The attendance is larger than In any other term.

By at tending during the spring term students will not only spend thirteen weeks most protltubly, but will also learn the udvun. tages offered in tho full course. The de maud for graduates exceeds the supply Many students improve the very excellent opportunity to preparo for college. .No other schools offer equal advantages for the money.

Died in Greenwood, March 10, 1885, Winifred, youngest daughter of Allnas and Hhoda A. Cole, aged nearly 18 years. After four weeks of much suffering tho deceased fell a victim to that dread dl seasu diphtheria. Though for awhile hopes were entertained for her recovery, thu Inst few days sho grew rapidly vtorsu und it became evident her time on earth was short. As Is natural for one so young, sho felt a desire to live, but at thu same lime expressed a willingness to die II God so willed It. A short tlmu before death she bade good. By to the friends and re. quested tliem to meet her iu that better laud, whero there shall bu no more parting and idl tears shall be wiped away. Her sufferings weru Intense a gienter part of thu lime, yet she boru them with patience, not a murmur escaping her 'Ips. But at tho last sho fell quietly asleep into that sleep which knows no waking surrounded by weeping I "lends and neighbors. The funeral services were held at Bt. Gabriel, Cole's Creek, tho following Wednesday, by Itev. Rockwell, after which the remains weru laid to rest In the cemetery, to await the sounding ot tho trumpet Iu that last great day. In her young life Wlnnio had made many warm friends, who will bo sorry to hear of her untimely death. In her death the bereaved family have sus. talned the loss of an affectionate daughter, a kind und lovli g slstcri but while their lives uro saddened by this bitter blow, they can bless tho hand that dealt It, kuowing that in His great wisdom "He doeth all things well."

Tno commissioners of Stato Fisheries, give Bvo reosons why fish are not more plentiful In tho rivers of Pennsylvania, Tho first reason Is, because of the dams which obstruct nearly nil tho largo streams. The second Is, the lack of adequate flshwnys. Thcso nro tho two most Important reasons, and the cotporatlons who obtnlned tho right to tjulld dams for carrying on their various Industries nro responsible for these two causes of depriving us of fish. Tho third nnd fourth reasons nro tho mm oh servanco of the close of tho spawning sea sons, anil the many Illegal und deadly de vices employed nt nil seasons for tho capture lng nnd killing of fish. Tho fifth nnd last reason Is tho pollution of streams with ma torlal poisonous to the fish. This Is tho most Important reason affecting this sec tion, as long ns the coal mines nro con. tinned In successful operation nnd the vast amount of debris carried Into our streams, wo cannot expect fish to Inhoblt them. Tho day for successful shad fishing nlong the Susquehanna In this country is past. How. ever we should bo glad to see the flshwnys repaired, and we might bo able to catch u few stray shad, Or, better still our smaller streams might be stocked with them. Answers to l'tizzlcn.

We have even recently had snow storms, and for a fort night past thu weather has been harsh, and the death rale from diseases induced or ag. gravatcd by tho cold winds has run up. But spring must at lust get here in real Ity, as well as uccordlng to tho culendar, and therefore It is an appropriate time to speak of tho fashions which ate to prevail when the thermometer rises. What will bo the costumes for women is a subject too extensive for hasty discussion, for of late years tho variety has been becoming great er and greater, and moro than formerly Is left to the Individual taste and judgment. That is a proof of intellectual advance, ment, for It shows that women arc not con tent to dress after an arbitrary standard fixed for them, but are exercising the right to display their own artistic taste In modi. Qcattons which set off their charms to greater advantage. Tho tashtons in dress for men furnish a subject which can be far moro satisfactori ly aud much more briefly treated. Tho changes In them from year to vcar aro slight, nnd that has been especially the case, for several years back. A man can wear a coat through two or three or even four seasons now Vlthout attracting atten. tlou by the singularity of tho garment, so long as It is whole and clean. Trousirs made two years ago are very little different from tho trousers which the tailors are constructing tor this spring. A critical eye might detect an old cut, but tho run of persons would not discover that they wero not of tho latest style. It Is true that the sum of tho slight yearly changes in gar- mcnts btcomes considerable and even great lu the course of live or ten years. A hat, for Instance, of 1880 or 1875 looks very odd now. The tight trousers and then tho looso trousers worn not so many years ago iccm qulto ridiculous In 1885, This year the changes In tho fashions of men's apparel will bo even less marked than usual. Say what you will, next to his hat, hit boots, and his cravat, the gar. ment which most helps or mars a man's appenranco Is his trousers. We know very well that (ho highest triumph of tho tailor's art It a perfectly fitting coat. No bungler COLUMBIA COUNTY, PA. can make that, but the cutting and fitting must bo Intrusted to n thorough arllsl, nnd ono of long ar.d varied experience. Nor do we deny that It Is a pleasure to contcin plate such a coat, a delight to wear It, and a moral support In the midst of trials to have It on. But however pcrfict the coat, no man can bo called well dressed unless his trousers have tho fit and tho hang which can only bo given to them by n mas. ter In their manufacture who handles n stuff which Is exactly ndaptcd to tho pur pose. The coat, tod, is not subject to tlto strains from wear which soon reveal the unskillful tailor nnd betray defects of ma terial. The undlscrlmlnatlng observer may bo deceived us to tho coat, but no body Is unmindful of wretchedly fitting trousers, with a tendency to bag nt the knees. Trouseis now under construction by tho tailors of artistic ability arc just about as they wero last year j that Is, ,they preserve tho golden mean between tight nnd loose, nnd tho disposition Is to muko them of checked material, not ;oblruslve, but with the pattern simply Indicated. Very notlo able checks have, of course, the disadvan tage that they do not set off In n compli mentary way tho legs of short men. lie stdes, they attract too much attention to a garment which should be so linpronounccd in pattern that tho eyo is not fastened to It, as it must bo it the trousers aro loud or ill made. Loudness, In truth, la altogether eschew ed, and a harmonious effect which thrusts forward no artlclo of dress nt tho expense of another, Is the aim of the tasteful man. Wo sec that ho Is well dressed) but the whole, of any particular part produces tho agreeable Impression. That Is a proof of advancing culture, and tho sumo desire to avoid ostentation and provoke attention Is discoverable lu modem manners nnd hab its gencrnlly. Wc want nothing of pcoplu who parade themselves nnd their pet ac complishments. As to coats there is renlly nothing new to say. They aro "as they havo been for two years, with the slightest of modifications. Hats are more altered, for the hatters seem to think that their trade requires that thu variety shall bo great enough from year to year to compel men to buy a new hat even before tho old t worn out. Modest and quiet colors are tho thing in cravats and scarfs, which should always be chosen with the discretion of nn artist, for their importance to dress is not to bo overesti mated. No jewels, or only thu simplest, nro worn. So we;see that the tendency Is to modera tion in everything, to harmony,to avoidance of glaring contrasts and nil display, to low tones, nnd to quiet tastes. X Y. Sun. On Monday evening a week as I was leading my horses to water at the brook, having just returned and unhitched from tho sled, n hook of one of the side straps of the harness fastened In the flank of tho op poslto horse, severely hurting it btforo it could be loosed. A person may exercise all the caro possible, accidents will hupped in splto ot It all. Any person examining the structure of those hooks would say it wns impossible for them to fasten to a horse under any circumstance wnalever. Tho funeral procession of Allnas Cole's youngest daughter passed through the town of Benton on Wednesday of last week, on the way to r-t Gabriel cemetery where the body was Interred. She was about 17 years of age. Fletcher Wilson, a harncssmaker who re- sldod lu Benton for somo time, moved to Uultyvlllo last week. Now Johnny, tho other harncssmaker, has It all his own way, and a capital harncssmaker he Is, too, and plenty of work to boot. There is n class of pcoplo like summer, birds. When spring arrives they lilt from place to place. Which affords tho most solid enjoyment, a variety of locations and novelty, or ono continued habitation and monotony, perhaps neither cluss cun tell. Abo Ilurtmau's young team, whilo tied o a hitching post somewhere in the coun- try his son und Jerry Saltzur were Iran (acting some business not far distant broko looso and gave them thu slip. At ull events, when Jerry and tho boy return ed they were minus u sleigh ride. Jerry is a little unfoituuate sometimes that he is a very clover fellow may account for it. The one horso was considerably stiff and lame ho informed us. A great many little folks, old nnd j'oung people uro complaining with heavy colds. Murch 10th, the backbone of winter is us stiff and rigid to-day with 8 to 10 degrees below zero each 'morning this week with, out uny prospect of relief as though It were only the middle of Jauuarj-. Who ever knuw the like 1 And Ice that knows no bounds. Winter Indeed. I am no weather prophet, but according to nn old saying, or sign, wo muy expect the wind from tho west and northwest, principally, for tho next three montli9, and consequently a cold Spring. Peter Case, who cnnles the mall on the Stillwater, VanCump, Cambra nnd Raven' Creek route, is about scvenly.llve ytars of age. Purt ot tho tlmo the severity and In- clemency of the season wero too rigid for such nn old man. Ho Is u man of u power ful constitution. Peter Y. Stlne, un old citizen, is living with his son Harmon. Hu lias retired from his old occupation us day laborer. Wo venture the ussertion that there Is not an other man In the county who performed moie manual labor than hu. He is ubout 75 years old. Thero never was a more faithful working man. On last Saturday evening a week W. B. Smith und Neltiu Everett, both of Benton, wero married, but who tied tho nuptial knot wu have not learned. Ico was In good demand in the fore part of the winter, but tberu is quite a surplus of It uow on baud, even to a stagnation iu tho ice business. At present writing tliciu is right good wagouing and sledding both at the samo time, and tho thermometer playing about zero, March 20th. The coon has established a reputation beyond dispute.

Ipher Informed us that one ot his hens deposited an egg lu her usual nest a week or so ago, that measured tho long way around seven and three.fourlh inches, and tho other way, live and three fourths. Some one suggested a stray os. trich must have stopped and assisted the hen. Whoso hen can beat that 1 Ben. ton is ahead.
