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

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.
In a comprehensive opinion Coun
ty Solicitor John G. Harman has
advised the Commissioners that all
parsonages are taxable property,
and the assessors will act accord
ingly. Wilson Murphy, a farmer of
Rome township, Bradford count v.
holds the championship belt for
raising big potatoes. He brought
to the office of The Towanda Re

bushel of potatoes weighing 56
pounds, which contained only 25
potatoes, the tubers averaging 2 1-4
pounds each in weight.

"My first experience with

was a sample package handed
inc. They relieved the pain
so promptly that I have never
been without them since. I
have given them to many
friends when they had head
ache and they never failed to
relieve them. I have suffered
with neuralgia in my head,
and the first one I took re
lieved inc. They have cured
me of neuralgia. I would not

"PAID IN FULL."
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.

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.
