On the turnpike from Lancaster te Ore gon, beyond the second tell-gate from hcie and near the Point mill read, there is a ramshackly bridge with a feeble side tail, which would ba a disgrace te any well regulated country read, let alone te a turnpike that charges travellers a high rale of tell. This bridge is a nuisance and a constant dan ger te people who have te diive ever it. If the turnpike company, cannot afford te build a new one, it should hand its tell read ever te the township : and if it can afford it and don't, the constable ought te return the bridge, and the people ought te refuse te pay tell until the highway is put into proper condition.

Six Ktdesfer One Fare. Philadelphia Recerd. "That is a terrible cate," said a conduc tor en the West Chester railroad te a re porter, as he pointed te a stoutly built woman, who had five children with her. Upen beiug asked what was terrible about it, the conductor sighed and said the whole crowd would yield but one fare. ' Would you believe it," he said, "but there is net eue of the youngsters old enough te be taxed half fare." It seemed te grieve the conductor, for he went te another car and made it up by compelling a very diminutive specimen of manhood, who was trying te sneak through en half pay, te come clown with the extra tin. 1- Need lirldglng.

" New switches of a style patented by Chief Engineer Lerenz, of the Reading railroad, and used only en that read, are new being put down en the Junction read at Xorristewn. They are se construed that they can by no possibility threw a train off the track. In the ordinary switch all the rails are of the same width, and when they an. open there is an ab rupt break. In the Lerenz patent the outer rail of the switch is of full width, but the inner rail of the track is much heavier. The switch is kept in place by a gum ball capable of yielding, and the rai Is arc braced with iron reds. If the switch is wrongly set the weight of the train closes the rails and the engine runs en the switch, but cannot be thrown off the track. High Price et Lemen.

Puichasciswere limited and when the torrid season began the stock en hand was net large. Almest immediately the demand far exceeded the supply, imd the consequence was that the pi ice advanced rapidly, reaching as high as $14 a box. They are new held at from $11 te $11 per per box, with indications of remaining at th e.-,c figures for sonic time, Contract Awarded.

They also left him a corner here and there a patch occasionally that was of no earthly use te them, but that he could net use without trespassing en their property. It left tlie old man in rather a peculiar fix, as new he can't sell the remainder of his land, aud is unable te use his house without their permission te cress their land. Had he accepted their offer, he would have re ceived at the rate of $200 per acre for every feet of it. But as it netv is, he has merely sacrificed his farm. the 1'IiHa- Frem Sam Jeseph' Letter te delphla Times. 'I have no desire te linger much en my experience en the Atlantic. It was my desire te sail en one of the American line steamers, but Peter Wright, who is a per sonal friend, said there was no mere show for a berth before fall than there was for a catfish supper at Indian Reck, being neglected by a council investigating com mittee. Se it was that I cast my let with the White Star line and sailed June 30 ou the Adriatic. Just before leaving Phila delphia te the guardianship of my reform colleagues, Geerge McGowan and William D. Kendrick, with a delusive hope of bracing up my stomach in case of a heavy belt at sea, I stocked up .a valisa with prime lemons and betties of Seltzer water. I had, or made use, of the whole consign ment, but my faith iu their efficacy is shaken worse than my hope is blasted in the newly painted machine. Passing ever this unpleasant period, I had a right royal time with Captain Jen nings, who, besides knowing hew te man age a ship, has a deep insight into the game called Napeleon. I believe, though, that the captain lest his faith in the game before we get evor ; in fact, he get into a bad habit of casting regular sheath-knife glances at me as I hauled in the chips, but though a sadder, I believe that he has de veloped into a better man. I have tried alleged Irish stews at Third and Shippen streets, ii: the geed old days, but there is no mere comparison between the fragrant dish set before me at this hostelry in Queenstown and the ten-cent compound of Shippen street than there is between carrying a state delegate conven tion around in your coat-tail pocket ami holding a lever in a Fourth ward division. The mutton in this Irish stew was as ten der as the conscience of a new member of the Legislature. Then there was some thing about the potatoes, and a fragrance about the unions, and richness iu the broth, that double discounts anything of the kind I have ever tackled before. - Cerk is an ancient city and is full of interesting ruins and rich in history. As seen as I get both feet en the quay I said te myself : " Is this Ireland, or am I stand ing once mere at Fourth and Shippen ?" TBe delusion would have been complete if I had met the squire Bill McMulIcn just then. When we reached the ledge of the Blar ney castle, a buxom Cerk lassie bounced out te the gate. Lifting my new white beaver I handed her my card and telling her I was an American member of parlia ment expected te sec the gate lly open and an escort introduced te show us through the castle. But I counted tee much ou my ex-dignity and title. The aforesaid buxom Cerk damsel simply remarked, "Vis, yer honor," and Hew off te sec whether we were te be admitted. In the interim I took an outside view of the cas tle. I'm like McMulleu, I don't go much en old times, and I must say that Blarney Castle leeks mere like a brewery that has witnessed a boiler explosion some hundreds of years age, leaving nothing te tell of the past glory of the pl.ice except a tower about one hundred and twenty feet high. Fer the first time in my life I appreciated the meaning of an Irish welcome from tlie proprietor of the Shelburne house, Dub lin. It was like the stew an overpower- mg success, lie Rati mvitcii a lew cneice friends te meet me at dinner, aud together we had one of these royal times you read about. My jimminecs ! but these Irish gentlemen can drink. The next morning six bottles of soda water set me all right again. We talked ever the situation for an hour ormerc. and when we parted Mr. Parncll, taking my dexter hand in both of his, said : " Mr. Josephs, if we only had seme geed man te map out the campaign in Ire land all would be settled in a few years. " I knew what he meant, but thought of a suffering constituency at home and withdrew in silence. His argument about the land question has settled ine. I didn't go much en the matter at first but new I'm a regular Leaguer clear through. All the argument iu the world will never persuade me that an Irishman don't knew a3 much as seme of the rest of us. I met several gentlemen at the Dublin society who knew as much about statesmanship as I did, and, I don't hesi tate te .say, considerably mero en ether topics. But when we struck out en hew te ruu a campaign I shone like a trade dollar in a pile of pennies. Frnlt In a Hurry. A correspondent of the Montreal Witness tells the impatient occupant of new prem ises hew he can obtain quick returns in the shape of fittit. Strawberries set early in spring will give a small crop the same year, and if balls of earth are taken with the roots, fair crops may be had iu seven weeks. The second year the product will be abun dant under ceed management. Muskmclens and watermelons will give ripe fruit in four mouths. Gooseberries, currants, raspber ries and blackberries may bear the first season, mere the second, and geed cieps afterwards. Dwarf pears and dwarf apples bear early. A nursery man offered te plant a dwarf apple tree for an impatient owner andjreceive ten cents for each apple borne the first year. It bore seven geed apples, aud the ewnerhad te pay seventy cents. Grapes will begin te bear the second vear. aud irive "mere fruit the third. Te these hints we may add that much may be gained by selecting varieties known te give crops while young. Among pears, for example, the Bartlette, Summer Doyenne, Washington and Belle Lttcr.it ive will bear the second or third year as stan dards ; aud the 'Jarly Strawberry. Sep of Wine, and seme ether apples, as early. tloed te return en all trains for 13 days.

Snyder, manager of the ad vet tis ing department of Jehn Wanamaker's es tablishments in Philadelphia, who was en a western trip with a party, met with a hair-breadth escape while riding in the mountains of Colerado, uc was meuniea en a mule, and when rounding a cliff en a very narrow path the animal lest its foot ing aud both mule and rider foil ever the edge, landing en " another ledge about twelve feet below. Mr. Snyder's com panions thought it was all up with him and descended te where he had fallen as rapidly as possible. They were greatly relieved, however, te find that he was net seriously hurt. He accused the companion of his fall with being a circus mule, and refused te ride te the railroad station a distance of fifteen miles. Barrintr the five-league walk aud the purchasing of a new suit of clothes Mr. Snyder experienced no ill results of his mountain adventure. Circumstantial Evidence. A lawyer in Central New Yerk gives the following account of one of his first cases : "My client sued a neighbor for the al leged killing of a favorite deg. The proof consisted in the mysterious disappearance of the animal, and the possesien of a deg's skin by the defendant, which, after con siderable argument was brought into court in evidence. It was marked in a singular manner and was posi tively identified, with many tears, by the plaintiff's wife and daugh ter as the undoubted integument of the de ceased less. In summiug up te the jury, I was iu the midst of a highly colored picture of the virtues of the deceased, and of the love of the children for their four-footed friend, when I was interrupted by a slight dis turbance in the crowd near the deer of the little school house which served as court house. Leeking around, I saw my client's youngest son, a tow headed urchin of twelve, coining fbrward with a deg whose skin was the exact counterpart of the one put iu evi dence. The deg wagged his tail with geed-natured composure,' and the boy cried, in his childish treble, 'Paw, Bese has come home. ' I gathered up my law books and retreated, and I have never had perfect confidence iu circumstantial cvi dence. active : mixed western spot, 45957c ; de fu ture, 576G0C.

NorrHtewn Herald. Zadkiel's almanac predicts that the years 1883 aud 1884 will be direful in their consequences, especially te clergymen.phy sicians and editors, who will be "afflicted with a far reaching epidemic." Clergymen and physicians deserve a chastening of some kind, but why editors, who never de any wrong, should be included, is a deep and unfathomable mystery, and we are in clined te the opinion that Mr. Zadkiel has net read the stars aright. rntlndelpnia Market.
