Goosebones Disagree. Last week we published the goostbone prophecy of Samuel T. Christ, of Strausstowti, Berks coun- jty. Mr. Christ was mentioned as having a goosebone, it will he re membered, which very gravely and sedately prophesied blizzards, zero weather and all the other more or less agreeable accompaniments o: w inter in this latitude, but it .seems iro.'jsiboDes don't ncipf :i i it,.m. l.ktu!.) ... . I. M . . . wii.-ii.nv.li in u. v: iuuowing letter which cam" recent lv fn.m T,-,im I Gallatin, who lives at Washington, away down in the .'outhwestern part of the state. "Mr. Christ's goosebone docs not know what it is talking r.boiit. I have made a study of iroosebom-s forty years and never knew them to fail but once and that was in 1.77, when every sign failed. I have one this year that saws the winter will be mild, there will be little snow until late in February, and there won't be any blizzards to speaK ot, all winter. Ice men won't jcut much ice until very late, and it will not freeze very thick. Decern ber will be partly cold and partly warm, but there will be little if any zero weather. This nronhecv holds good as far north as the lake and east to Philadelphia. The goose was a Pennsylvania product and the bone prophesies only Pcnnsj 1 vania weather."

Big Damages Asked. A suit for $50,000 damages against the American Car and foundry company will ba tried in the United States circuit court in Williamsport, in January. The plaintiff is Oscar Thornton, of Ber wick, formerly of Danville, who lost one oi his eyes as the result of an injury sustained in the steel plant of the car company at Ber wick. Clarence E. Sproul, of Wil liamsport, represents the plaintiff and it was upon his application that the case was transferred from the Columbia county court to the United States circuit court. Paul J. Sherwood, of Wilkesbarre, repre sents the plaintiff. A New Anesthetic. Dr. Thomas Jonnesco, the fam ous Roumanian surgeon, is in this country demonstrating the use of the anesthetic employed by him in surgical operations. It consists of a mixture of stovaine and strychnine, and it is injected into the spinal column. The patient retains full consciousness, but ftels no imin whatever. It is a great stride in surgic ,1 science, and will no doubt come into general use. - - It Never Raius but it Pours. Although hardly recovered from three wrecks in as many days, the Susquehanna Bloomsburg and Ber wick Railroad had a fourth acci dent last Friday, when spreading rails caused a fr;ight train to kick up high jinks. A car load of lum ber was badly smashed, and the track was damaged. A wrecking crew worked until nine o'clock Friday evening in clearing up the roaa. Parsonages Taxable.

The rather small audience which witnessed the production of "Paid in Full" at the Columbia Theatre Tuesday night was treated to an exceptionally strong drama. The cast, each of whom did highly cred itab'e work in his or her interpre tation of the various character studits, was a capable one, and ban lied the somewhat Ibscnesque situations admirably. The play is not greatlv dissimilar fro.n Ibsen's "Doll's House." The settings were artistic. The musical program of Ehveil's orchestra was excellent. Again we remark that goo! plays are deserving t.f better patronage. Published Seventy Years.

Deafness Cannot be Cured by local applications, as they can not reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure deafness, and that is by con stitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an inflamed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustach ian Tube. When this tube is in Jamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it s entirely closed, Deafness is the result, and unless the inflammation can be taken out and this tube re stored to its normal condition, hear ing will be destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh, which is nothing but an inflamed condition of the mucous surfaces. We will give One Hundred Dol lars for any case of Deafness (caused by catarrh) that cannot be cured by Hall's Catarrh Cure. -end for circulars, free. F. J. CIIENKY & CO., Toledo, O.
