Five men have been frozen in Oak Park, Chicago, on account of inability to get into their homes, the cold hav ing contracted the keyholes of the doors. It has been remarked befote that a cold stare should be promptly for given this kind of weather. There is no uie of remembering it against any summer friend. The Lafayette alumni association of northeastern Pennsylvania will hold its annual business meeting and din ner at the Wyoming Valley hotel, Wilkes Barre, Feb. a 2d. The regular Democratic candidates for Directors of Bloom Poor District were fairly nominated in the usual luanner, and are entitled to the full party vote. Don't split your ticket. The public is cordially invited to attend an oyster supper and concert in the hall of Pealer Post, No. 435, G. A. R., Orangeville, on Saturday evening, February 16th. By order of committee. The Mountain Echo contains a " Report of the transactions of the Council of Shickshinny Borough for the year ending December 31, 2894." That's only about a thousand years ahead of the rest of the world. The following letters are advertised February 12th, 1895. Mrs Elizabeth Cox, (2.) Miss Sue Evans, S. C. Hunt.

Deputy Collector Buckingham will be at his office in the Post Office build ing the three last days of this month, to receive income tax returns from persons, corporations, associations and companies required by law to make the same. W. D. Beckley, Esq , occupies the room in the Columbian building, re cently vacated by W. H. Snyder. The room has been newly papered and painted, and with H. A. M'Killip's room adjoining they make a handsome trite of law offices. It is said the continuous cold snap has snapped so many pipes and kept the plumbers so busy in Englewood that they have no time to make out their bills after the old process. Plumber's bills are accordingly turned out by lightning, the electrical presses having a capacity of 90,000 impress ions an hour. The Wilkes-Barre Record says a deal was closed last week by which the Lehigh Valley Coal company ob tains possession of dock 1 in Chicago, the consideration being $joo,ooo.

The severity of the weather, frpe ing of pipes, &c, had the effect of temporarily closing the Third Street school. The daily reports now coming in from the country add to the long list of fatalities and record of suflering resulting from the storm. On Thursday, the 14th, was Valen tine's day. t This saint seems to have greatly falUm from grace and favor in these latter days, because, we suppose of the comicalities now daily portray ed in the newspapers. Windows now decorated from top to bottom scarcely arrest the attention of the passers by. All the complexity, perplexity and formality of the Baker ballot system is only fully understood by those who have to straighten the blunders, ar range the papers and print the ballots. Editor Elwell and Cleik Terwilliger know something about it, and so do the printers who set the type and change the forms. Miss Boecker, the only female res cued from the lost Elbe, was given an audience and heartily welcomed by the ex-Empress Frederick, the Queen, and the Duke and Duchess of Con naught, on the nth inst. They sought to hear her thrilling narrative of the wreck of the Elbe. She was also the recipient of a souvenir from Empress Frederick. Buckhorn, " where the ships come in " in fair weather, was also for a time somewhat isolated from the outer world because of the recent blizzard and bank-up of snow. It took twenty men some time to open up communication with this inland re treat. But they say they got there, and consequently traffic tus resumed operations. Again we have to inquire what's the matter with our weather prophets that they have failed to remind and pre pare us for the recent misbehavior of weather ? Though DeVoe made daily predictions for February, he has only guessed right three times thus far. Three hits to a dozen misses will soon ruin the reputation of any prophet. Prophets proper are supposed to be infallible. A wail of desolation again comes up from the south because of the damage done to fruit trees, vegetables, &c, that is even more pitiable than that occasioned by the first cold wave of which they had no warning whatever. As a matter of pity for the unprepared in the south we would suggest that our weather prophets bend a little more energy in that direction, and at least give these people a chance to bank what few cellars they have be fore they are entirely froze out. Poli tical prejudice should not influence the true prophet. No class of men or women have more detestation of the conventional Irish comedy with its impossible Irish men, and counterfeit Irishwomen, than the Irish people themselves, and they appreciate a play bereft of these and clothed in a dress that reminds them of Ireland as it is and Irishmen as they are. So, when such a portrait of Irish life an is presented by John E. Ban nan in 'Tim the Tinker," its reception e cure tn h as warm as the people can make it. Mr. Brennan's presen tation of the leading part 01 me younB Irish tinker, is certainly a revelation. Play and star are pure, clean, instruc live and true to nature; you will al ways remember his pleasant face. rsn t Pnt.iTMiiiAN office and eet a handsome calendar for 1895.

Un!e.-s channels are cut sufficient to let the dammed water through there are many streams now threaten ing to inundate many towns along the rivers in the United States. In fact grievous flood disasters seem to be inevitable. William Stine, of Fishing Creek Valley, assaulted Harry McClain's wite and then Harry McClain assault ed Wm. Stine's wife. The fracas was tried in Harrisburg recently, and Mc Clain was convicted and Stine was acquitted. The cost was equally divided, While coasting is fun, it is general ly attended with more or less danger, which parents and children should remember. Newspapers are teeming with recorded arcidents resulting from a wreckless indulgence in this sport. Bloomsburg presents some fine op portunities for injury. The blockading of the country roads leading to towns and cities reminds town folks out of butter, eggs, milk, ice, that it would be a little difficult to live on the top of the heap if country folks should ever corner and withold their products as other industries do in order to enhance the price of their wares. The Hyde Park man who on a wag er tried to drink a glass of water in the open air is under treatment for frost-bite of the larnyx and esophagus. He should have observed the danger belore he thus ruthlessly tackled wa ter. But some folks never can see danger until they are punished for their indiscretion. A New Jersey patriot named Dun can, member of the Legislature, is so opposed to the high hats and big sleeves worn by the modern lady in places of public amusement that he has a bill now on the calendar which prohibits them- so far as New Jersey soil extends. This seems a little too sumptuary and arbitrary for a woman's rights woman to look at squarely and maintain a winning smile- The oldest inhabitant who has been accustomed for a life-time to look in certain places for snow drifts is non plused by the irregular action of the recent blizzard. The drifts are to be seen all right, but not in their accus tomed places. The fierce elements seem to have given them another twist and piled the snow banks in some cases where the oldest inhabitant never saw them before to any such extent. Though the record of Rome is rath er antique she has just begun to turn out female lawyers, Signorina Lab riola is the enphonious name of the first female lawyer to graduate from the University of Rome. She is just two years beyond sweet sixteen and has never yet come in contact with the typical Philadelphia graduate of this country. The more is the pity for her, as she has much to learn in spite of her high honors and Rome graduation. While crazy drunk Joseph Courter, of Newark, N. J., recently shot and mortally wounded his wife and then went to slashing himself with a razor until it hurt, when he quit. After being out on a drunken debauch about all night he brutally attacked his wife in the morning as she lay in bed with her. 2 year-old baby. There is no hope of her recovery, but Courter, having injured himself but little, will live to repeat his crimes, no doubt, on others. Orphans' Court officers must allow newspaper reporters to copy all mar riage licenses. That's what Judge Bland, of Reading, holds. He thinks they should all be published for the good of society. 1 o license by stealth might be to marry by stealth, and this is what the law endeavors to avoid. Its likely the Judge is right about it. But there was a time when young peo ple used to think it was nobohy's busi ness but their own, and they don't take any too kindly to" public announce ment in some cases even yet. Even bad dogs may trace their ownership to the highest officials in this country. A dog belonging to a son of ex-President Hayes ran out, as docs not so very bad will sometimes do, and it frightened Mrs. Ada Smith's horse. The horse ran away, and Mrs. Smith now puts her damages at $25, 000 in consequence ; and it now re mains for the children of the ex Presi dent to show cause why they should not plank down the cash if they want to keep a dog that thus barks and frightens horses that only want a half an excuse to run away. Some difficulty has been experienc ed in getting the Bloomsburg ballots in such shape that they might meet with the approbation of everybody. It is not likely that such a result has been reached, but the tickets as print ed have the sanction of the county commissioners, the chairmen of both parties, and several other persons com petent to decide the proper form. The difficulty arises from the fact that there are three different laws that must be consulted, namely, the Baker ballot law, Town of Bloomsburg law, and Bloom Poor District law.

Dr. Redeker, of Espy, has leased the John Purcell house on Center street, where he will take up his loca tion this spring. The blizzard was too much for the long horned Sing Sing antelope of the Philadelphia Zoological Garden. It sickened and died of pneumonia. His mate is now critically ill with the same ailment. The old female jaguar also perished along with some porcupines who thought such a life was not worth living. The orang outangs occupied warmer quarters and the buffaloes found no fault with the coldest part of the blizzard. They are reported as having turned tail to the wind and laughed it to scorn and appeared happier than at any time since their imprisonment. It is not pleasant to print dunning notices in the paper, and we avoid it as much as possible, but when an ex amination of our books shows that that there is a large amount outstand ing that is needed in our business, the necessity of calling attention to it is forced upon us. The times are hard, and for that reason we have been just as lenient as possible, but expenses are heavy, and when money does not come in fast enough to pay them, we must ask for what is due. All sub scribers who owe for a year or more will please settle before April 1st. Statements of the amount due-will be sent through the paper to those who are in arrears, and prompt payment is requested. tf. Our statesmen in conclave assembl ed are resolved to see to it that the countrymen leave the fish of their own waters and the game of their own woods alone long enough to accumu late for people who have more time to fish and hunt than farmers are sup posed to have. The fish and game laws of Pennsylvania will be arranged with a view to good hunting and fish ing in the future, no doubt. What the ruralist needs to do is to watch him self closely to see that he don't vio late the game and fish laws on his own premises. If he will take care to do this fish and game will be more plentiful, no doubt, when hunters who know how to hunt condescend to corne to the country for fish and game and a little fresh air and water. " To them who by patient continu ance in well doing seek for glory and honor and immortality, eternal life. This blessed promise and assurance,, found in Romans, 2d chapter, 7th verse, was very impressively enlarged upon by Rev. P. A. Heilman last Sunday. He preached to a good and an attentive audience. Both the con gregational and the choir singing was piously impressive. The choir made up of a quartet ot singers rendered one hymn particularly sweet and ap propriate to the occasion. While the pastor justified all laudable pride and ambition he still recognized the possi bility of too much anxiety about the vanities of life and our personal h onor and glory. But the patient in well doing have nothing to unduly crave or fear, either in- this life or that to come. Eternal life is the blessed as surance and in a brief sermon he made it clear.

That means no profit considered, bimply -want to clean them oat. lit is apparent to the close observer that there is quite as much theoretical as there is practical Christianity to day. It may also be observed that there is policy as well as principle in the pulpit without a very close search to see it. Where the advancement of the minister depends upon the ad ditions he can make to his Sock and the amount of money he collects from the faithful there is a burning disposi tion to increase the flock and gather in the collections. The temptation is to make a temporary conviction answer the same purpose as a per manent conversion ; for conference makes no distinction between those who are convicted at every protracted meeting and who need it badly and those genuine cases of earnest sin cerity who manage to make a genuine conversion carry through to the end of life. If there is watered stock in commercial affairs there is; vain am bition and watered stock in the re ligious struggle also. Lumber Too Cheap. Spruce lumber is too aheap it is said, by the East and North lumber com bine. On the 8th inst.,, when the bliz aard was ugliest, they met at the hub of the universe (Boston), and so re solved. They ought to know, for the lumbermen present claim to represent about seventy-five million dollars worth of lumber, saw mills. &c, in this coun try. 1 hey have their money invested and they are looking alter their inter ests individually and collectively. It was the unanimous opinion that spruce lumber was selling too low, and a new scale of prices was adopted to straight en the matter up some. Then again, the Southern Lumber Manufacturers' Association is billed to convene in Memphis on February 20, and. the liberal rates of fare given by the rail roads guarantee the largest attendance in the history of the association. Among the important matters to be considered will be the pine trust which has been farmed by lumbermen, in Georgia, Alabama and Mississippi. OSQAN FOB SALE.
