Once around your clinched fist over tho
knuckle joints is just the length of your
foot. So says a female clerk who sells
stockings.
Sleeping on feather beds, or with the
hands raised above the head, !b very liad
for the lungs. So says a doctor of experi
ence. A sorvant was askod why it was so diffi
cult to wake bim up: 'Indeed, master, it's
because of taking your ail vice, always to
attend to what I am about; whenever I
sleeps I pays attention to it.''
Insti.tino. Two of our citizens very
properly arrested a man in the street this
afternoon for insulting a lady ns she was
passing along the walk. lie deserves severe
punishment for his misconduct.
The New Jersey cranberry crop this sea
son in Ocean county alone is valued at
2.310,C0!). An acre of gojd cranberry

Well Uirxkd The well No. 59, Woods
Farm, owned by Edwuid Fox, of this place,
caught fire from benzine on Saturday niht
last, and the derrick, engine house, ic.,
were totally destroyed. Mr. Fox is an esti
mable citizen and a very wr.ithy man, aril
we think Providence oust have made a
mistake, nnd placed uiitfortuno where it
does cot belong.
The Election. The election is passing
oil' very ciuielly in this precinct, nnd we
benrof no particular exoitoment anywhere
in the Township. Tbero will bo a much
larger vote polled than was at first supposed
in this Township. Tho interests of local
candidates nra carefully looked alter, seem
ingly without regard to tarty, but tho State
tickets ure receiving tho party vote.
Little iitttik was Jtaught ho was made of
ilust. As ho stood by the window watching
the dust as tho wind was whirling it in
eddies, ho exclaimed, seriously, "Ma, I
thought the dust looked as though there
was going to be another little boy made."
In the last illaesj of witty Goorgo Cola-
uiuu, lue doctor being later than the time
uppointed, apologized to his pationt, saying
that 4ie had called to seo a man who had.
luiieu uown a well. 'Did ho kick tie
bucket, doctor?" groaned Coleiuun.
Here is another deplorable result of mix
lug water with wiiitky. "Some Kentucky
uiBiiuers uoi naving stock with which to
eed their slops poured them Into the Lick
ing rivor, whereupon all tho fish went 00 a
spreo. Multitudes or them Wore bo intoxi
cated, that they renounced cold water for
ever and wont staggering about on dry
land."
baturday evening two largo buildings iu
tho rear of tho University of Hochesten
New York, containing tho laboratory, work
uhops aud private uiiuuralogical, zoological
uud other cabiuets of Piol. Henry Ward,
tud his plaster cast molds, wero destroyed
ty tiro, ilost if not all of the zoological
cabinet was saved, comparatively uuinjured.
The mincrulogical cabiuet was burned. Tho
valuo of the wholo is estimated nt $110,000;
insurance between $jo,000 uud $l(l,l;0.
The large cabinets sold by the Professor lo
tho Utiiversity are safe.
An Iowa editor bolls the regular tickst.

A CiRiors WiM.. Elizabeth A. Berry,
a colored woman who bos been quite exten
sively known in this city as a fortune teller
or "wise woman," died not many days ago
leaving a will which is curious in the de
tailed instructions given by it relative to
tho manner nnd stylo in which she desired
to be buried. The instrument reads, in part,
as follows: "When I nra prepared for the
grave, my resting place, I wish to be dressed
in citizen's clothes. I wish to bo dressed,
in every respect, as I would lor the street.
Two rings upon my fingers; car rinjjs in my
ears; white silk stockings; Congress gaiters
of tho best material; white kid gloves.''
After Borne further details relating to under
clothing the will proceeds to diiect that tho
best bl nek silk dress of the deceased shal'
be plaoi-d upon her person, with no cap up
on her bead, but a "tasty head-dress'' in
stead, and that sho shall be buried iu Forest
Lawn Cemetery, with six carriages at the
luneral. and with no "undue weeping'' on
the occasion. Tbo lutter injunction was
probably complied with, as tho deceased
left no nearer relatives to mourn her death
than a step-sou, living at a distance, to
whom most of her littlo property (about
$12,000 in amount) was bequeathed. Buf
falo Express.
A Curiosity. Tho best evidence that
something is going to happen is that souie
already has happened. Whether it portends
another eclipse, an earthquake or tho mil
lenium we are not upprised, but nicely boxed
up on our table is a pair of small eggs joined
by un integument and oae egg ot very di
miuulive dimensions, all of which are said
to have been laid at 0110 time, by a hen be
longing to Jits. Sarah Wulker, at Harbor
creek. Wno was present at the ceremony,
so as to vouch for the odd little eg;, our in
formant does not state. The recent tluctua
tion in the price of gold probably call ed
the convulsion that so disarranged the in
ternal economy of tho hen, the cllect 0
which was the wonde:ful phenomena de
scribed. Eric Disjxiich.
A scieutilic coiiespoudeut says: The' Led
gor gives ono of the true causes of the late
storm and flood, uamely, "The action ol the
sun and moon, wnen in conjunction anil
near tho time of the equinoxes producing
high tide3, which back up the descendin
water." Close observation, for yeais, sat!.
Qes tne writer that wheu several plaaeis,
especially the larger ones, are in conjunction
with the sun aud moon, as nt new and full
moon, and when the moon is uearest the
earin, u uu tho huu 01 uotuuei

high tides, auroras, meteors, increased mug
nelic aud electrical intensity of the eariii,
aud also of eariuquakos aud eruptions. The

of great domestic interest, by Anthony Trol
lope, entitled "tucks or trills." Tho story
will be completo in fifty weekly petticoats."
The following was posted on the door ot
tho Ludlow Church, la Hertfordshire, some
time back: "This is to give notico that no
peisou is to be buried iu th." church-yard
but those living iu the parish. Those who
w:sb to be buried are desired to apply to
me, Ephraiui Grub, parish clerk."

The recent, freshet so tilled the locks Of
th Schuylkill Navigation Co., at lair
mounl, as to render them impassable. The
consequence was that a large number of
boats collected. This aftornoon two prize

two negroes for $25 a side, and tho s -cond
between two boatmen to decide tho merits
of rival fire companies. The police arrested
the lour parties implicated.
