EATTLE WITH A BURGLAR. Triaaph of a Plucky Tobacconist. IhNGHA.MPTO.v, X. Y., Jan. 23. John TT a burlier from Oweo. entered !; house cf George A. Kent, a tobacconist p tourt street, early yesterday iDOTiinsr. earing a noise, jrot up and lound i'ur Ar in his bed room, armed with a fe. which Kent mistook for a pistol. He t a ;hp burglar, who was masked, to take hater, r he wanted and go away, and to ovr that he would net molest him Kent vent b ark to bed. The burglar seized a itch arid chain and a pocket-book con-t-irg sonic money, and went into the sitting r'a. shutting the bed room door. Kent thereupon pinched his baby to make it cry "J that the burglar would not bear his riicvcmenrs, and going to the doorway com- 1 iirin?

An old preacher", who had several calls to take a parish asked, his servant where to gp, and the servant said : "Go whero there is most sin, sir." And the preacher concluded this was good advice and went where there was the most money. A farmer in Cambria county, Pa., having the deed of his farm in his vest pocket, hung the garment on the fence, while at work in his field, and a cow coming along, ate part of the vest and the deed. The question in that vicinity now is : "Is that cow a freeholder, as the title of the land was duly vested in her ? The Wrong Place. An old man entered a Bethlehem shirt store, recently, to get himself a pair of mittens. lie saw some chest protecters there, and after looking them over he said : "Well, I'll be mashed if I know what these are." "They arc capital things for the win ter," replied the clerk; "they are chest protectors." "Put 'em on the chest ?" asked the old man. "Yes, right over the lungs. I will sell you one very cheap, if you want it." "No, I guess not. My old woman never strikes out from the shoulder, but always hits a down blow, and one o' these things wouldn't be worth a cent." Sufficient Cause. A young man in Chicago was recently found dead in his, bed and the supposition was that he committed suicide by poisoning, but upon analyzing the contents of his sto mach nothing but the following were found in it : Pickles, pound cake, lemonade, cold turkey, beer, fried oysters, cold punch, ham sandwich, spongecake, beef tea, mince pie, champagne, lobster, game pie, fruit cake, tea, chicken salad, whiskey, coffee, bologna sausage, port, cheese, sardines and sherry. The jury returned a verdict of "died through the visition of friends." Why He Couldn't go to Church. The Brooklyn 'Argus has the following: "I wouldn't be such a Christian as you are, John," said his wife, as she stood in the doorway, dressed for church. "You could go with me very well if you wauted to." "How can I?" he half sobbed. "There's the wood to be split, the coal to be shovled over to the other side of the cellar and no dishes washed for dinner yet." "Ah ! I didn't think of that," she mur mured, thoughtfully, and privinsr her new cloak a fresh hitch aft, sailed out alone. Relics of the Inquisition. The torture-chamber in the rath-house in Ilatisbon, Germany, has many relics of in quisitorial cruelty or of private tyranny. Among the rest is a chair studded with wooden pins, in which men sat with weights; a windlass to hoiit up by the hands men who had heavy stones tied to their feet, and then drop them a foot or two with a wrenching jerk ; a horizontal frame with knobbed rollers, over which men lying on their backs were jerked backward and forward by end pulleys ; a board set up on edge in standard, the upper edge sharpened, on, which the victim set astride, with stones tied to his feet ; and a fireplace, with a recess behind it, in which the victim had to stand and be roasted to death. The chamber itself is mean, and the whole thing vulgar and disgusting. Fresh Air at Night. The Providence Journal says : Just how much fresh air shall be admitted to sleeping apartments during the night through open windows, seems to be a ques tion whose practical solution involves a wide range of differing opinions. There are those who carefully exclude every breath of "night air" and depend for their pure oxygen upon the air already imprisoned within their dwellinss. There are those who, following the other extreme, sleep with open windows when the thermometer is among the eighties, and when it sinks below zero. As usual, a happy medium between these extremes involves the best conditions for physical well-being. A sup ply of pure air is as essential during the day as during the night. All sensible peo ple who understand the principles of re spiration will agree to this assertion. At the same time great care should be taken that the fresh air admitted should be as free from dampness as possible, that it should not be allowed to enter in such quantities as to produce a sudden and great difference in the temperature of the sleeping room, and that no draughts formed by its ingress should disturb the repose of the sleeper. If these conditions are faithfully observed, there will be few nights during the year when it is not perfectly safe as well as es sential to health to sleep with an open win dow. Common sense and sound judgment must regulate the quantity of outside air required, whether the inlet shall be the crack formed by raising the sash above a board fitted to the lower part of the win dow frame, whether the upper sash shall be let down a few inches, or whether the outer air shall have full play through the wide-opened window. There may be a sys tem of ventilation that will fully answer the required purpose to carry off the impure, and bring in a fresh supply of pure air ris ing to the desired temperature. We have never seen any ventilating system or action that would produce anything but partial results, and the old fashioned way of re gulating the supply of pure air by a judi cious use of windows is about as effectual as any that has since been invented. We would not advocate the obsolete fasion of sleeping in cold rooms on feather beds un der a mass of bed-clothes that keeps the body overheated and irritated with perspira tion, while the lungs are drawing in the vital air at a temperature that makes oue shiver to think of it. Even this contrast in temperature is not half so enervating and disease-provoking as the modern fashion of sleeping io furnace-heated houses, where a blanket is superfluous in cold winter weather, aod every avenue for the entrance of freoh air ia almost bsrmeti- jeally Pfiale' The Democratic State Central Commit tee met on Thursday at narrisb'urg, and decided to hold the State Convention at Lancaster on the 22d of March.

On Thursday, the 13th of Jan. 1S76, at the Water Gap, M. E. Parsonage, by Rev. Richard Turner, Win. B. Austin, of Scran ton, and Mrs. Esther W Van Vlcit, of Del. Water Gap. At the residence of Charles Henry, Esq., Hcnryville, Pa., Jan. 18th, 1876, by Rev. E. L. Martin, Mr. Andrew Arnold of Towanda, Bradford Co., and Miss Shoe of HenryviIIe, Monroe Co., Pa. DIED. On the 11th of December, 1875, at her residence, near Ijamsville, Maryland, Mrs. ANNIE ANDERSON, relict of the late Aden Anderson, Jr., in the 35th year of her age, leav ing an only daughter and a large circle of friends to mourn their loss. The deceased was a daughter of David Smiley, late of Monre Co., Pa., but from the time of her marriage was a resident of this county, where she soon won the respect and esteem of a large circle of admiring friends. Becoming a widow after a brief married life, her mind seems to have centered on things be yond the present life and to be fixed on these things that pass not away. She was long a de voted member of the M. E. Church, a faithful christian, and her her place in the congrega iion, the Sunday School and the class was seldom vacant, and she continued to go to the place and meet with the friends she loved so well, up to the time the Father called her home. No more can the loved mother come back to comfort her orphan child, and the faith ful ministrations of the devoted daughter and Fister have ceased, the earthly tenement has passed away, but her good name and works cannot fall. After approprite services at the Church, at Ijamsville, December 13th, her re mains were laid beside her husband, far from her native home, in our own beautiful Mount Olivet. D.
