Deep mystery surrounds the find ing of a set of human bones in an old disused outhouse of the Penua. Railroad, near the freight station, at Milton, a few days ago. The skeleton appears to be that of a child. Sensational developments are looked for. Walter DeFrain was arraigned before Justice Jacoby Monday, for having hit Harold Ehrhart, of Sixth street, on the head with a stone. The accused, it appears, has borne a bad reputation for a long while. In default of bail he was imprisoned in the jail. The wound inflicted on the youngster's head might have had a fatal termi nation. Arthur Kunkle and Miss Mary Wilhelmina, were married at El-! mira.last week. The bride's parents were kept in the dark as to the wedding until it was all over. They didn't even know that Kunkle was paying attention to their daughter. Their surprise on being informed can easily be imagined. The groom is a sou of our townsman Charles Kunkle, and is an employee of the Lock Haven Silk Mill. The bride is a resident of Jersey Shore. Cures those eruptions, boils and pimples which are so likely to appear in the Spring; cures scrofulous diseases in their most tenacious forms; cures salt rheum or eczema with its dreadful itching and burning; cures all stomach troubles due to generally weak condition and impure blood; cures debility, sick headache and "that tired feeling' which Just as surely indicate that the blood is lacking tn vitality and the elements of health.

Houtz. A meeting of the women of Bloomsburg is announced for Sat urday, May 5th, at three p. m., in the Tabernacle, on Market street, for the purpose of forming a civic club. The object of the club shall be to increase the public interest in all matters relating to good citizen ship, public improvements, and to promote the general welfare. It is earnestly requested that all of the women of Bloomsburg make a spec ial effort to be present. Mrs. Samnel Pugh, after a pro longed illness from a complication of diseases, passed away at her home on Ninth street yesterday, shortly after noon. The deceased was a good, kind hearted woman, possessed and always exhibited a sunny disposition. She was about fifty years of age and leaves to sur vive a husband and two children, William and Miss Maye. The latter has been employed as a clerk in the Bee Hive store, Wilkesbarre, for the past year. In commenting on the scheme re cently adopted by the promoters of the Bloomsburg free library, to raise money, the Bellefonte Watchman says: "Talk about big feet being a blessing, Bloomsburg has reason to believe it so. Recently the town wanted to raise money for a free library and sent out silk stockings to the residents of the place with the request that they be returned with twice as many pennies in them as the size of the sender's stockings. While the idea of dropping dough into the stockings is not exactly a new one, it certainly proved a winner for Bloomsburg, where the size of the feet was so great that the pile of pennies amounted to 19,000." A wedding which carries with it the b&t wishes of a host of friends, was that of Mr. Charles S. Wilson and Miss May Gilmore, which was solemnized in St. Paul's Church, Thursday evening. The Rev. D. N. Kirkby officiated. The guests . consisted of relatives and a few inti-1 mate friends. The couple went direct from the church to a house on Eighth street, which had been previously made ready to receive them. The groom is an active and promising young man, a sou of O. T. Wilson, while his consort is a popular young lady, and a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Gilmore. May eternal blessings crown their lives.
