'THE:Waverly Reriip 4nring this week
and next will be printed- daily. The is
sue of Monday was well filled with . news
items-and was a very creditable daily pa"-
per, - -but of course not as large as the Me
tropolitan journals. We should not be a'
bit siu prised if the Review should contin
ue to be issued daily, even after ihe'pres;
cut two weeks. We hope it may.
WI: learn from the Waverly Daily Re
rietr that on Wednesday of .last Week
I.toNaula SEO.6, of Bbeehequin, was ar
ratl.ned before Officer HOYT, Athen . ll l
ott a Tarrant issued for threatening to

comity of his arrest for their Safety.
Ep. E. Blum,. of Springfield, says tbe
Troy Gamete of bust week, has brought nu!.
a piece of iron ore which he found near
where ho lives,. and'4hich seems to be
long to what is known as the oolitic va
riety of ore, the granules being small.
The ore we should Sfidgeto be a rich one
and a s er e p ore iin which Mr.
BRACE purposes makiug .in the spring
may devilop a workable bed of this Ore!.
PARTIES were in this vicinity the pre*
eat week, says the Canton Selitket of last
week, looking up a location for a wood
pulp paper Mill. It is rumored that they
contracted for several thousand cords of
suitable wood and secured ELtract of land
near SEEGAR'S school house, three miles
northwest of Canton, where the necessary
mill and resideliees for workmen will be
erected this season:
THE recent ordinance adopted by Lan
caster City Councils,-imposing a fine and
imprisonment on all pertons convicted on
the charge of corner loafing, is certainly
commendable. If a law of this character
should be adopted and enforced by all pur
cities and towns, those of their - citizens
whorie highest ali bition is to display their
impudence - btAinappre •
lie mightbe driven to turning their tal
ents-to a better !account.
.--2-Tuosi . irf our subscribers who .will
change their residence this spring, should
apprise us of the fact, as early as possi
ble, in order that we may know how to
direct their papers stilhat they may re

Persons wanting the address of papers
changed should oe particular in mention
ing the post office to which they are now
sour, as well as the ono to which they are
to be directed in the future. By Aoing so

two Indians lying with their headS to

THE past winter has b,cen the sickliest
known in many years. The prevalepco of
fevers and "epidemic sicknesses of various
kinds that have prevailed all about; us
wi*l make this winter memorable as one •
Of great and extensive discomfort and dis
ease. Most of the • doctors
.have, had
all they could do to attend to their pa
tients.. The common idea . that an open
winter is a sickly one is not bormi . out by :
facts. : Such a winter is perhaps More
abounding in slight illness such as colds,;
coughs, etc., but not in the more serious
forms•of discae.

A NEW TRIAL APFLIEO. FOR IN
THE BRIDGE CASE
The Bridge Company• has asked for a
ti6v trial, and 'gives the following reasons
for so doing.: - •
First—The Court erred in admitting
evidence for dtfendint of the cost of a
new and suitable substructure
,for a
•
bridge. . •
Second—The COurt erred in all that
part of their charge to the jury •wherein .
they . 4aid that the jury inight . .. take into
consideration the value of a new and suit
able superstructure and substructure.
HOW DID IT GET THERE ? •
It was under the_above beading HIM,
car mprightly,_entonp9rary, - the Daily . Re-
few of Thiersdpy last, furnished its read-
ers with the following : Mrs.•Ditor;o's
house iu North Towanda is supplied with
water from 'a spring on A. N. KINGS-
IitItY'S farm.. The other day the water
ceased to flow all of a sudden. A'visit to
the fountain head disclosed the . fat that
the reservoir was full, and no reason
could be assigned for the- trouble. It
Was finally determined to examine the .
-screen - which protects the pipe where it
connects With the' spring.. On - pumping
the viater.out, a live frog was found
side the screen and over the mouth of the
pipe effectually preventing the entrance
of water. As there was no possible
'chance for his frogship to hive entered
.the pipe front the outlet, and the perfora
tions in the.screeil are no larger than the

AN ASTOUNDING ASSERTION

of this county. • We have never read the
article in the Gazette--:alid we have. al

man. We trust that there has 'been a
mistake in crediting the article 'and that
Troy, N. v., *way claim the honor of the
story But read what our exc'hanges are
saying that our friend HOOKEIt has writ.;
ten and published : •‘ The Troy: Gazette
relates the following singular' incident,
which occurred (t'). in Armenia, Jradford
County, a few months ago. It says : One
day last week, Guounu itlcCoutc was
returning from the store with four pounds
of nails in his hand, and a storni, coming
up he took shelter in the woods beneath
a huge hemleek tree. A bolt Of lightning
struck the tree riving it * into fraginents,
splitting it into huge planks. ItlcCowe
was instantly killed and the nails driven
from the parcel in his hand into these
platidts until they weisf solidly joined to,
gether-as a coffin. .A *second stroke tore
up the ground, throwing the body of
Comic into the hole formed by the light
ning, and was immediately covered from
sight by the falling dirt driven out by the
explosion. When his relatives discovered
him after an hour's. digging the. next day,
they found him neatly buried as if by a
professional unde.rtisker, except that his
clothes were slightly soiled."

• THE "PRIZE CONTEST
The annual. prize conte.st, in declarns•
tion, for the Students of .the Susquehanna
Collegiate Institute, was lnilil in Mercur
Hall on -the evening of April Ist. Last
year the exhibition was a'ile-w thing, and
an admittance fee was Charged. Hence
the attendance was coraparatiielY small.
This year, no charge being made for ad
mission and, perhaps, the good reports of
the _last contest not having altogether
died SWay, the hall was tilled.
The following persons contested : BC
HANAN BUZ:DELL, of Burlington, LEVIER
D. Wm 4 NEY, Wysox, HARRY P. COB

BEN To 4 nda, JOHN M. KELLOGG, AL
BERT F...BRONSON, Sayre, WILLIAM' E.

Barclay, KENT M. BULL, Towanda.
One of the contestants, Mr. Asps=
F. BRONSON, was unable to appear. Of'
the remaining twelve, LANE, CORSER
LEE, and DUOdAN, took part. in the con
test
, of last year. The last , three. have
made considerable improvement sine
that time. Mr. .CORSER has gained id
distinctness and force of utterance and
ease of manner. -Mr. Lim, ;though nut
I . yet faultless, hail - improved in inflection

almost disarm adverse criticism Even
speaking 'with power and. a clear under
'standing of_the idea" expressed, Mr.
'Maass has nowobtaheed Olt ewe and
freedom of move.nent in which at former
Huambo has been deficient. The remain
ing eight young men were mere novices
et public speaking. Considering this,
we may say that they all' id creditably.
With many of them a_ lack of gestures
was noticeable, and in many cases a gent
ure was Meal to emphasise a single word
when it should have been continued
throughout the senterice.r .
The declamations were in themselves
interesting. Thiy- were entirely prose
selections. In this we think the instruc
trirei decided wisely, since they thus
afforded a uniform standard of compact
son.
The music, both TM* and instrumen
tal, was . Bee and thoroughly appreciated.
The song' "Code, Dorothy, Come was
received with marks of special favor. Mr.
MACE won general applause by his mit* ,
