On last Monday, as A. Sternberg of
Beilefonte. and Dr. K nel, of B alsburg,
were coming down Xillany Mountain,
driving a blind hor-e, when about half way
down, the horse unnoticed got 100 close to
tue bonk, when Mr. Kinset grabbed for
the lines but got the wrong one and pulled
the horse over the bank, throwing out Mr.
Sternberg, who had[hi face badly skinned,
causing the blood to flow profusely from
nose and face, but otherwise sustained no
serious injuries. His wagon escaped wjth
a broken shaft, which be left on the moun
tain with over a thousand segars in it, and
came down to town. During his absence
some greedy "lover of the weed" came
along and helped himself to a box of his
Habana*. Sterny says the fellow left the
empty box, and now asks him to call and
get it too.

RECEPTION OF KING KAI.AKAI'A
IN COMOKKSB
Washington, December IS.— The an
nouncement that King Kalakaua would
be ret eivcd in a formal manner by the
house to day attracted s very large nutn*
ber of perrons to the capitol—many more
than ci uld g. t inside the galleries. Fully
one h, ur before the hous* met every seat
in the galleries was ■ -ecupied, and a large
number . f per ns btaired admission to
the tloor.
At a quarter past twelve o'clock the sen
ate headed by Vice President M ilton, en
tered the hall of the house and w ere assign
ed seats A few minute* later the king
! escorted by Senator Cameron and Repre
sentative Orth, of tbe committee of ar
rangemenli, entered and (.rocceded to tbe
ibarof the li ie, where he wa formally
pretented by Senator Camercn. Speaket
Blaine, in a few well chosen word*, wel
comed, in behalf of the American congress
the king to its halls, and alluded signifi
cantly to the fact that the first visit of roy
alty to this country came from tho west
and not the eat. Minister Allen, in be
half of the- king. said.
"Mr Speaker: For your kind words of
welcome I most cordially thank you; of
this distinguished mark of confidence IJten
der to the honorable -enate and house of
repre-- i taliv•** my highest sentiment* of
regard. It i* in accord with the very

have received fr in the executive depart-
ment i f the go\eminent and from all the

meet since 1 landed on the shores 'if the
Pacific
"I appreciate the complimentary terms
in which the honorable speaker has refer
red to me personally. For our success in
government and for our progress in a
higher civilization we ar>- very much in
debted to tiie government and people of
this great country Your laws and your
civilization have been in a great degree
our m del. 1 reciprocate most cordially
the hope for the continuance and growth
of friendly relations between the I vo coun
tries. lam most t appy, gentlemen, to
meet you on this occasion."
This concluded tho ceremonies There
was a pause for a minute or two, during
which the king 1 ike I around nervously,
as though ill at ease and not knowing ex
actly what to do. There seemed to be a
hitch somewhere and an awkward pause.
which was finally ended by the speaker
leaving the coair and descending to the
floor an l shaking the king by the hand.
The king then withdrew and the vast aud
ience dispersed.
