Reported by Our Stall of Correspondents. East Benton. A well known person whose name we are not at liberty to divulge, re lates the following interesting exper ience with optical deceptions, as re fleeted from a large glass plate mirror: "Moyer Bros', drug store at Blooms burg," said he, "is a large and spacious room, with counters on either side ; a large mirror forms a partition in the middle of the centre aisle, with a gal vanized or brass washed bar stretched across the aisle, a foot or eighteen inches from and in front of the mirror, and at the same height of the counters, gives the centre aisle an appearance of length the entire depth of the build ing, with no other obstruction to check a customer from walking the ertire length of the aisle, except the galvan ized bar which is stretched across the room, of which there appears to be two two or three feet apart." Our informant said, "on entering the drug store, I walked up the aisle, and at the same time observed a per son approaching me from from the other end of the aisle, whom I sup posed wished to wait on me. Paying little attention to him, I walked up and grabbed with both hands the bar, and to my astonishment the person walking down the aisle, in like manner grabbed with both hands, the bar op posite, when I bowed and said, howdy do, sir. Of course the gentleman opposite bowed very graciously, but did not respond to the 'howdy do sir,' when a closer inspection revealed the fact that I was sold. I though it strange that the gentleman was so near my size and age, and otherwise resembled my appearance in form and dress. I venture the assertion," said he, "that I am not the only person that has been fooled by that mirror. I tell you," said he, 'I got out of Bloomsburg as quickly as possible with a batch of 'Chamberlain's Cough Syrup,' and a bottle of 'Mrs. Winslow's soothing syrup' to alleviate my chag rin," Van. Wenner, son of Levi Wenner deceased, and a nephew of David Wenner, died at his grandfather Moss', in Huntington township, April 10th and was buried at St. James' on the following Saturday, aged 1 7 years and 1 day. He was seized with a terrible attack of pneumonia, though of a rugged constitution, he succumbed to the disease in spite of all medical skill that was brought to bear in his case for recovery. His widowed mother and Dr. Hally Wenner, of Nanticoke, and his little brother Carl survive to mourn their loss. Pneumonia seems to be fearfully prevalent in some localities in the community, resulting fatally in so many cases.

Cary of Benton, survive to mourn their loss. The deceased was an exemplary christian woman, an aunt by marriage to .your correspon dent, and was related to a very large circle of friends. Adverse circumstan ces prevented us fiom attending the funeral. Rev. J. R. King of Benton, preach er in charge of the M. E. church, died very suddenly on last Thursday morn ing. This Rev. was a courteous gen tleman and always a welcome visitor at our home. Though we belonged to different religious households, our mutual attachment was brotherly. There was an irresistible magnetism in his demeanor that not only rendered him agreeable but loveable. In his daily walk and conversation he was exemplary and consistent, and in char acter irreproachable. The messenger of death came to him without warning and he entered into rest without the pangs of suffering. He labored in the cause of Christ and humanity and has gone to his reward. While we, in common with the entire community were shocked at the report of this sudden death, the M. E. church at this place has suffered an irreparable loss. The entire community deeply sympathize with the bereaved family. It Will Renovate USE KEROSENE. Make Old Hats Straw and New. Better than )lAriONDS. mm w . JAW Children Cry for Pitcher's Castorla.

V. 3 William Wynne Wister, referee in the suit of Charles 11. Cutnmings and Mary Packer Cummings, his wife, against Klisha P. Wilbur and Chailes Hartshorne, filed his report in Philadelphia Court yesterday. Mrs. Cummings was a daughter ol Asa Packer and when she was about to be joined in wedlock with Mr. Cummings a marriage settlement was made by which the defendants were made trus tees of all her estate and of the income she might derive from the estate of her father of which $.00,000 per annum were to be paid to her. The question involved in the case was whether under a provision in the deed of trust if she should not draw or receive the $200,000 per annum the deficiency should be regarded as accumulation of income which she would thereafter be entitled to re ceive, or whether it should be regard ed as principal of the estate. Mrs. Cummings claimed payment under these circumstances of the accumu lated income. This was resisted and a set-off was claimed of $153,027.89, a debt due the Asa Packer estate by Mrs. Cummings before the deed of trust was executed. The ref.-ree decides that this claim should be charged against the piincipal of the estate and not against the income and that the defendant should pay out of the accumulated income in their hands enough to make Mrs. Cummings' income for 1894 amount to $200,000. nOLIE AFTER 26 YEARS.

For the woman who does not wish buy a new spring hat this early season, here is a bit ot advice. It may help her to look just as fresh as er next door neighbor, who paid $2 for her new straw. If your last spring hat saw little wear a;id can be made into a smart shape (which is easy to do considering how every low crowned shape is worn), then fix it over. Wipe the straw off thoroughly with a damp cloth dipped m kerosene, noticing carefully that each particle of dust is removed. Place another damp cloth over it and press it lightly with a hot iron. You will find your old hat a resurrected being after this treatment. Young men's all wool summer suits $4.98. Gidding & Co s. 3rd anniver sary sale. The Senior C. E S. of St. Mathew's Ev.
