It is said that the election tickets

Kissing the haby mav result in de
form in it's nose mid bring on near
sightedness. The safest plan is not to
kiss a baby of the feminine persuasion
until it attains the ago of sixteen
years. The cartilage of the nose is

Don't forget the fate of DeBeek, of
Cincinnati. Promiscuous kissing is
sometimes attended with unpleasant
difficulties. Therefore we warn you
not to kiss the si xteen- ear-old baby
unless the baby is perfectly willing to
be kissed.
A girl out in Indiana is in a fear
ful stew. Two fellows wanted her and
she wanted both the fellows. Finally
she consented to marry one if he would
keep it secret from the other chap.
When the ceremony was about half
completed chappy No. 2 appeared upon
the scene, seized the girl around the
waist and begged her not to have the
ceremony completed The justice
would not proceed under the circum
stances, and now one fellow says he is
half married and the other fellow is
not married at all. Why there is so
much fuss about one girl when they
are so plenty we are at a loss to under
stand. 'While Mrs. Service sat by her win
dow sewing, a 'shot struck the glass
just above her head, shivering it to
atoms, the pieces falling close to the
lady's head. The shot was probably
from the sling-shot of some boy. But
the question as to whether the sling
shot nuisance should not be abated
seems to be a pertinent one. If a shot
from one of these toys can be thrown
over Hyde's store, or Imbeaded in a
pine board, why is it not reasonable to
suppose that there is danger in their
use?
Brandon was in town, Tuesday,
and bought his Thanksgiving turkey
of W. H. Schram. And we helped
him carry the old gobbler to the depot.
He paid for the turkey on a specie
basis, which leads us to remark that
times must be getting better, or certain
editors are getting mighty reckless, or
folks didn't raise many turkeys, or
they keep a big dog to watch them.
We never would have thrown money
away in that reckless manner if we
didn't get a turkey until after the
deluge. No sir. Better is a chicken
with contentment thanatuikey you
are compelled to pay for.

Fire at Bradford.
A fire broke out about half-past nine
o'clock last Friday night in the Thea
tre Comique, on Main street, and be
fore it was gotten under control over
thirty buildings were burned The
ticket seller, Max Albrecht, was the
first to discover the flames. He warned
the audience to go out slowly, but a
panic ensued. Guarding the door with
a club, he finally succeeded in clearing
the building without loss of life. The
flames spread ripidly. The firemen
were at great disadvantage on account
of the mud, but they fought the flumes
bravely. Many persons were hurt by
falling timbers, but it is believed no
one was killed. The total losisestl
mated at $100,000. Among the princi

with five' other buildings on Main

We notice by our exchanges that
the carpet bug Is again appearing in
numerous sections and is doing great
damage. These bugs nrst appureu in
1804 and at intervals since that time
have caused much alarm in this
country. They attack carpets of all
kinds and textures, but seem to prefer
those in which the predominating
colors are yellow, red and green. The
carpets are. always eaten at points
where there are cracks in the floor,
and are not only through, but iu some
cases are cut across the breadth as if by
scissors. Once in a house it is next to
impossible to exterminate them, and
sometimes the luxury of a carpet has
to be dispensed with. The only way
to prevent their ravages is by a fre
quent overhauling and shaking of the
carpets, the ordiuary remedies of cam
phor, carbolic acid, etc., proving of no
avail.

The Philadelphia North American
puts the status of the next Congress as
follows : Senate, 42 Democrats, 33 Re

Illinois). House, 149 Democrats, 129
Republicans, 10 Greenbnckers, or ex
actly the estimate made by the Tele

reliable journal in the country than
the North American, and its deliberate
conclusion should set at rest all the

1,838,157 barrels. The total production
wns 1,383,000 barrels, thus showing
that there was n reduction in stock of

based on the statement that the average
dally production is 43,000 barrels, as
the bears claim. The bulls, however,
claim that the production is not over
40,000, and that the reduction Is there
fore nearly, if not quite, half a million
barrels.
