A teacher in a Boston Sunday school was last Sunday explaining to his class of boys the meaning of "Jacob's ladder." of the number, more inquisitive that atten tive, inquired : "It the angels had wings, what was the need of a ladder fnr lmm ?" This was a poser, and while he was meditat ing a reply and unable to answer. anntW by exclaimed "I'll bet I can tell what tney used the ladder for." "Out with it, then," said the teacher. "Oh, I guess they were molting." The teacher did not dis pute him Another teacher asked a boy "Who was the first man ?' "Georsre Wash ington," was the reply."

Potato Planting. The farmers throughout the potato rais ing sections of this State are in a quandary whether or not to plant any this spring. They fear the visitation of the Colorado buga in still more devastating swarms than last year. Two years ago only a few of these destructive insects were seen, last year these few had increased to a most alarming extent, and if the same rate of progression i3 kept up this year, they will be as bad as the plagues of Lsypt. And there appears to be only too good reason to tear that these anticipations will be realized. We have been told by farmers that in dig ging post holes lately they have unearthed haudfuis of these bugs at a depth of from two and a half to three feet. They will probably emerge in a lively and hungry condition as soon as the potate crop comes up. lrcnton, A. J., &tatc Gazette. Railroad Gossip. The Pittsburg Commerical says: "There is some talk of changing the route of the proposed new coal road between Boston and to the anthracite coal regions of this State, from Pittston, which is situated near the extreme northern end of the anthracite basin, to the Lehigh basin, directly through the heart of the middle coal fields. The Lehigh and Eastern Railway Company have already got their road under way. They will reach the Hudson river at Pough keepsie from the Black Creek region, or middle coal field, by the construction of 130 miles ; and the latter road will connect with existing roads already in operation leading to Pittsburg, or the Baltimore and Ohio road, crossing all the leading roads to Philadelphia and New York, thus making connection with the network of all thc ex isting improvements in this State. As to the feasibility of the route, it is claimed that there will be no grade against the coal trade, so far as to the Hudson river, that will exceed thirty feet er mile ; and the Lehigh and Eastern Railroad Company have a subscription sufEeient to grade three fourths of their road. The distinct pur pose, however, is to open a new and nearer route from our coal fields to the East, either in one direction or the other." Reading One Mile Away from a Light. from the Revue M'ditaire d. Lstr anger. A new electric light, experimented upon some w?eks ago on the roof of the Siemens Halske works at Berlin, proved so success ful that ordinary writing could be read by its aid at the distance of a mile. When the li 'ht was thrown towards the clouds by means of a mirror a luminous train ap peared thereon, which much resembled the tail of a comet, and .drew together great crowds of spectators in ti' streets. Signals made bv the instrument were also repeated upon the clouds, becoming thuJ visible at a very great distance. The experiments were made in the presence of a large number of otLccrs ot artillery and ot other Drancnvu the government service, and were continued for nearly two hours. The instrument, which is provided with a locomotive engine, will be set up in the Tegel artillery polygon for further experiments, the German war department having the intention of pur chasing several of the machines for military use, both afloat and ashore. A Mouse Kills Its Man. From live Toronto Globe. An extraordinary occurence was brought to light at an inquest held on the body of a man5 in South London. In a workroom where many young girls were at work a mouse suddenly made its appearance on a table, causing, of course, considerable com motion and a general stampede. The in truder was seized, however, by a young man who happened to be present, but thc mouse slipped out of his hand, and, run ning up his sleeve, came out between his waistcoat and shirt at the neck. The un fortunate man had his mouth open, aud the mouse, on the lookout for some convenient place of concealment, entered the man's mouth, and he, in his fright and surprise, swallowed it. That a mouse can exist for a considerable time without much air has long been a popular beleif, and was unfor tunately proved to be a fact in the present instance, for the mouse began to tear and bite inside the man's throat and chest, and the result was that the unfortunate fellow died, after, a little time, in horrible agony. Several witnesses corroborated-the ab6ve f t u nt medical testimony as to the cause of dfcath having been given, a' verdict of "accidental death was returnea. Ulyssea Simpson Grant.

How They Fixed It A New Yorker, while journeying the other day, was recognized by another citizen doing business near Bowery, he being also away from home on business, and after a little preliminary converesation the first remarked : "Well, I hear that you had to make an assignment." "Yes, dat is drew," replied the other. "And your brother over on Chatham street ; he assigned, too, didn't he ?" "You zee it was just like dis," said thc Bowery man, "I was owing a goot deal. I makes over my stock to Jacob and Jacob makes over his stock over to me, and I do his pessness and he does my pessness, and dem vellers vhat was after money doant get some !" Watch Found Imbedded in a Tree. The following story is going the rounds of the papers, viz : "A few weeks ago Jacob Klinck, a far mer, near Fox Chase, Montgomery County, was sawing down a large chestnut tree when the teeth of thc saw came in contact with some metalic substances. After the tree had been felled a gold watch, two gold pencil cases and a gold chain was found im bedded in thc wood, eighteen inches from the surface. They were wrapped in a soiled sack. The tree was sawn off close to the ground, and they had evidently been hid den at the junction of two roots, and the wood had grown over and enclosed them The watch was old fashioned, having a case which could be detached and was inscribed with the date 1740. One of the pencil cases was provided with a pen. The other had only a pencil and was minus the seal. The chain was long and was intended to pass around the neck of the wearer. There was also a gold watch key which however, did not fit the watch. The tree had attain ed a "reat aire, being about six feet in di ameter. An old mansion once stood near by, and it is supposed that the articles in question were buried during the war of the Revolution. The watch was uninjured ex cept that the hands were rusted off. The owner has had it repaired and will exhibit it to any who are curious to see such a relic. He lives about a mile above the Fox Chase, on the county line." WHAT FORT SILL IS. "The Largest and 'Biggest Plum' West of Leavenworth." An army officer who was stationed at Fort Sill for a number of years until quite recently, says it is located in the south western tract of the Indian Territory, about forty-five miles from the Texas border and one hundred and sixty miles from Atoka, the present terminus of the. Missouri, Kansas and Texas Railroad. It was built in 1SGS by General Grierson, of the Tenth United States Cavalry, and is situated in a beautiful country. The land is well tim bered and watered, and nature has made it one of the fairest spots in the Southwest. The post was established for the accom modation of six companies, but at present there are twelve, ten of cavarly and two of infantry, on the ground. It is situated on a bluff two hundred feet high, overlooking Medicine Bluff Creek. It discloses the fertile plains, dotted with the tents of the soldiers and the smoke curling from the wigwams of the Indians located in large numbers but half a mile off. The fort derives its name from a romantic story told the natives. Miss Sill, a dusky damsel, becoming chagrined at the attentions paid by a stalwart brave to another local coquette in the far-distant pat, made a Tarpeian rock of the bluff and ended her career. In the neighborhood of 5,000 or ..000 Indians, mostly KIOWAS AND COMANCHES, are stationed, within eye-sight of the post, and a brisk business is carried on between the trader and them. The latter dispose of their furs for a small remuneration, but receive mostly necessaries for their products. "West of Leavenworth Fort Sill is the largest post and biggest plum at the dis position of the War Department," said the army officer. "At one time Mr. Evans, the post trader, informed me that he had over 100,000 worth of goods on hand. His stor is quite large, well built and surmounted by an iron roof. There'are no white settlements around, and the nearest stations are Camp Richardson, in Texas, about 150 miles, and Camp Supply, 200 miles, to the north. We were all acquainted wilh the manner by which Evans obtained his t'rudership, and thfe'bonus'he was1 pay ing', as far back as four years ago. The affair w no secret. A SPECIMEN SNOW-STORM. Devastating Avalanches and Blockaded Trains. San Francisco, March 4. A dispatch from Truckee says a heavy snow-storm be gan Thursday morning and continued till this afternoon. The snow is twelve feet deep on a level. On Thursday night a snow slide at Yuba Pass crushed the snow sheds for a hundred and fifty yards. The west bound freight train ran into the wreck, ditching the train. Thile clearing the wreck another slide occurred half mile be hind the train, carrying away one hundred and fifty feet of shed, making it impossible to reach the train with assistance, slides meantime occurring in all directions. The men refused to endanger their lives by working in the sheds. A slide near Sum mit aud another at Strong's canon carried away several hundred feet of sheds. Thi3 morning work was commenced at both ends of the blockade and the road is now clear. East-bound passenger trains of the 1st and 2d inst. from San Franciscon have passed on. West-bound trains, due at Troekee on the 2d and 3d inst., will start this evening and will probably pass Summit without trouble. Freight trains are all abanoned. It will take severaly days to get things straight. Passengers are being well cared for and make the best of the situation. Pork at $3.33 per Pound. We doubt if any of our readers ever felt like paying the above price for pork, not even when it is manufactured into the toothsome sausage "and lever-waerst." Dur ing the past month Mr. T. S. Coopers, of Coopershurg, Lehigh county, breeder of Berkshire pigs, has sold four out of his herd, viz. : "Royal Beauty," (four of whose pigs, out of one litter, were sold by Mr. Cooper to two breeders in Illinois for $1,100,) "Sweet Seventeen's Sister," "Sweet Seventeen's Niece" and "Sally the IXth." receiving therefor SI, 000 each ! This may seem like an extravagant price, but the sales were made to Mr.,V. C. Norton, of Aldenville, Wayne county, Penn'a, whose knowledge of this noted breed of pigs is second to no oue in this country. Mr. Cooper made an importation last spring, and will in person make a second purchase of some of the most noted prize winning pigs in England, for which country he starts in a short time. A month or two before the opening of the stock exhibition at the Centennial he will have consigned to him by such noted Berkshire breeders in England as Capt. Arthur Stewart, Russell Swanwick, Esq., and Rev. Mr. Baileyand by the Duke of Marlborough, Lord Ches ham, and Mr. John Flemming, celebrated sheep breeders, some of their best stock, which will be herded at "Linden Grove" for several weeks previous to being exhibited. The Duke of Bucceluch, ofj Scotland, is also expected to send over some of his best Ayrshires Mr. Cooper, having secured several cows and a bull from this gentleman's herd last spring. Mr. Norton, of Aldenville; who purchas ed the noted pigs above mentioned, is a young man scarcely twenty-three years of age, but has already gaind a fine reputa tion for a thorough knowledge of Berk shires and other stock. With such pigs in his herd he will take rank at once with the famous breeders of this country. Mauch Ciiunh Democrat. Bank Clerk Arrested for Embezzlement Joseph Wicand, for the last 12 or 15 years a clerk in the Second National Bank, was on Saturday evening last, while in at tendance at the minstrel entertainment at the Opera House, taken in custody by officer Murry on a warrant charging him with embezzlement, the same having been issued by Alderman Stabler at the instance of the bank officers. He was taken to the bank and there examined, and the matter compromised. Rumor has it that the accused consented to turn over his personal effects, and that his father made himself responsible for the ballance of the deficiency. To what sum his pilfcrings amount is not known, but we have it from pretty good authority that the overhauling of accounts up to Saturday had shown $2,700 against him. Wieand's fall is a sad one, and should serve as a warning to others. When yet a small boy, peddling apples around town for a living Mr. Ainey, the Bank's President, took such a liking to him that he employed him as messenger. He performed his duties well, proved studious, and in time became quite an expert at figures as well as a! first class penman making one of the best bank clerks ever seen in these parts He in good time was advanced in position, and latterly had been actiong cashier, Mr. Ainey hav ing the most implicit confidence in his integrity even contemplating in the event of his getting married, and settling down to quiet life, to use his effort to have him appointed cashier. Outsiders however have long had an idea that he (Wieand) was living beyond his means. He kept a fast trotter, several fancy buggies, with harness to correspond, took his morning and even ing airings in style, played billiards, and in short spent money heedlessly and lavishly until bow he has been brought to a halt in hisfast career in' the manner as abov stated. Alientoicn Democrat.- 25,000 young California sslmon have been put in the Delaware at Eastcn. The Press estimates that 271,274 Cen tennial visitors can be accommodated in the city and vicinity. The other day, in Port Jervia the wind blew a lady directly into a gentleman's arms, and ever since that time, whenever Old Probabilities indicates breezy weather, the sidewalks of the town are so crowded with young women as to render them almost im passable. Perry county is hunting up its centena rians, and has found Jariies Crosley, of Tus carora township, now in his 105th year, and Jacob Gutshall, aged ninety-five years, who has lived his life time near New German town has been to the county seat but twice and to Harrisburg once, and has never seen a railroad. An old physician asserts that an orage eaten every morning half ah hour before breakfast will eventually destroy the desire for alcoholic drinks. He says that he has never known it to fail in effecting a cure of the most confirmed cases of inebriety. Now, who would ask for a more agreeable medi cine ? Some provision dealers in Philadelphia are creating a revolution in business which is acceptable to many people these hard tims. They buy the best class of cattle in Chicago, have them killed and dressed there and conveyed to Philadelphia in refrigerator cars kept just above the freezing point. The meat, which is of the first quality, is sold to consumers at prices one third less than what has been charged by the city butchers, while it is much superior to that of cattle which are brought in the cars and slaughtered here. The result is that the prices of all kinds of meat have come down about five cents per pound, which is an im portant consideration to the masses of the people. The Eureka Sentinel has received a specimen from Senator Shepherd's soap mine in Elko. The substance, whatever it is, so closely resembles castile soap that when it was first handed to us, says the editor, we thought it was a chuuk of that article. It apparently possesses all the qualities of ordinary soap, except that it will not raise a lather. It removes dirt from cloth and is generally used instead of soap for washing purposes by people resid ing in the vicinity of the mine. The ledge or deposit is situated near the south fork of the Humboldt river, about two feet inthik ness in a limestone formation. Specimens have been sent East for analysis, but the truck thus far appears to have confounded the savants of Yankeedom, who don't know what to make of it, and whether it posses ses an intrinsic value is as yet a matter of conjecture. THE DREAD SENTENCE. Death Warrants for Fleteher and Quigley. Haurisburg, March 1. Warrants have been issed lor the execution of George W. Fletcher, convicted of the murder of James Hanley, in Philadelphia, and Patrick Quigley, convicted of the murder of Catharine Quigley, in the same place. Fletcher will be executed on April Gth, and Quigley on the 7th of that month. Special jSTotice Every other thing being equal, the cheapnets of an article is a great recommendation. It is bound to decide the purchaser. lie would be foolisU indeed who should pay more than he need, for an article for the simple sake of pay ing! In buying clothing, which is quite an item in one's personal and family expendi ture?, cheapness rules the dav, and ought to. At Wanamaker & Brown's OaS Hall, Phila delphia, it is certain that the purchaser buys cheaply. Cheapness, with every other excellence accompaning it, is the very basis of their enor mous business.
