Interesting Items From Various Points In

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.

Catawissa, aged not far from 80 years.
A husband and two daughters, Mrs.
John Bell of Fairmount, and Mrs. Dr.
T. II. 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.

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.

DANGER IN BLACK STOCKINGS.
A Boy May Lose His Leg as the Result of
Poisoning.
Valley Forge, Pa., April 16. The
dye in black stockings has seriously
poisoned Clyde Hampton, son of
William Hampton. The boy was
wearing a new pair of black stcok
ings, and had a small abrasion on
one leg. .through this me oye in
the stocking poisoned the blood ; and
soon the evil effects were perceptible.
Twice the leg has been operated upon,
the poisoned flesh being cut away,
but no improvement has been notice
able, and it is now thought the leg
will have to be amputated.
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.
