We haven't heard anyone com plaining of the dust lately. The past week has been great weather lor young ducks. The " Dreamy Susquehanna" author had better keep dark. The desire of appearing clever often prevents our becoming so. Some men, like pictures, are fitter for a cornsr than a full light. -g-You' 11 pretty near have to ad mit that the ground hog saw his shadow. Everyone took a good look at Old Sol on Tuesday. He was quite a stranger. Yes Maude, dear, the ice went down all right, but the dealers will bring it up again. It don't appear to be generally known that the Wheelmen's basket ball team won a game this year. Be original, 'Tis a poor wit who borrows the words, decisions, mien, inventions and actions of others.

Will Meet at Catawissa- Lutheran Laymen, in different sec tions of eastern Pennsylvania, have united in advancing the efforts of Mnhlenburg College, at Allentown, to procure a new Rite and new buildings. Believing that in order to insure the success of this movement it is of the highest importance that the Lutheran laymen of the different sections should come together for mutual con ference and mutual action, the lav men of this, the Danville Conference, have arranged to hold meetings at such points as may be easily ap proached. A meeting for this pur pose is to be held in St. John's Luth eran Church, Catawissa, on Thursday afternoon, March 13th, at two o'clock. As this is a matter of vital imnoriance to the highest and best interests of trie church and state, a cordial and earnest invitation is extended, and it is sincerely hoped that the ahendanre will be large. The laymen from Col umbia county are W. T. Creasv, Elias F. Weaver, Wm. E. Hower,' Cata wissa, and John Gable, Numidia. . m Oil Prospecting at a Standstill. There is considerable dissatisfac tion expressed throughout Hunting ton Valley over the delay in the oper ations at the Register oil well. Little or no boring has been done for three weeks, the delay being caused by breakages and lack of casing. The stem to the drill was broken a week ago. After working in vain to lift the drill, Mr. Shearer left on Wednesday to procuie grappling machinery to recover the lost drill. He re turned yesterday and will, no doubt, have the drill going again before many days. In the meantime it is reported that the leasing of land goes on. Moun tain Echo. Berwick's Preposed Plant.

On his way he asked permission to see the other place before the gates of heaven closed behind him. Arriving at Hades and rambling around among the fur naces, he got lost from his guide. He finally stopped before a furnace label ed " Delinquent Subscribers" and in there he saw a number of men danc ing around on hot coals in great agony, who had jaken his paper for years and when pressed to settle re fused to take the paper from the office causing the postmaster to mail one of those familiar blue cards, " Reason: Refused. Don't want it any longer." The sight fascinated him and he con tinued to gaze on their sufferings, ob livious to all else around. Finally the angel found him and reminded him that it was time to be going. " Well, you go on" replied the fascinated editor. "I'm going to stay right here. This is heaven enough for me."

A splinter which has been driven into the hand can often be extracted by steam. Nearly fill a wide mouth ed bottle with very hot water, place the injured part over the mouth of the bottle and press it slightly.
