oflice, on last Friday, a hen's egg that
wei::hod four ounces. . 1 he egg was laid
by a White Spanish hon owned by the
Captain, and is not very- much larger than
the "fruit" usually laid by her. This hen
has been in the possession ot tho Captain
for four years, during which time she has
never ottered to set. laying ten months out
of the year. He has been offered $20 for
thi3 fowl, but has refused it. His stock of
fowls are valued so highly, that a short

A counterfeit twenty-dollar note of the
Me: chants' National Bank of New York
was discovered at the Treasury Depart
ment Saturdy, among some national bank
currency sent there for redemption. The
ftjountcrieit is so well executed that it pass
ed undiscovered through the hands of sev
eral counters, but when it reached the di
vision of issues it was detected by a lady
counter. The Comptroller of the Curren
cy will add this scries to the already
lengthy list of national bank notes to be
allied in for cancellation, the rule being to
call in and abolish by cancellation the
whole issue of each denomination of a bank
that is successfully counterfeited.
Last Friday morning, the dry goods
store of Mr. John Moon, at Stewarton, on
the Pittsburgh Washington & Baltimore
Itailroad, was entirely destroyed by fire.
The building and entire stock of goods
were destroyed. The buildings were
owned by Col. Andrew Stewart, and the
stock by Mr. Moon. The loss is estimated
nt about thirty-five thousand dollars on
dry goods, and" twenty-two hundred dol
lars on the buildings. The goods rere
insured for 2,000 in the Armenia Insur
ance Company of Pittsburgh. CoL Stew
art had $1,000 Insurance on the buildings
in the Fire Association of Philadelphia.
It is supposed tho fire originated from a
spark from tho express train that passes
Stewarton at 12 o'clock nt night. Mr.
Moon also lost his household furniture.
Col. Stewart's books, notes and paiK-rs,
which were in the building, we are pleas
ed to know, were all saved and are now
locked up in a fire proof safe ia Union
town. Many of our readers are acquainted
with Dr. Hiram J. Penrod, formerly of
Stoystown, and will be pleased to hear that
he is appreciated in the Monumental City,
where he has made his home. A Lying in
Asylum having been established by the
College of Physicians and Surgeons, under
the control of its faculty, the Doctor has
been placed in charge. As there is a lib
eral Stale appropriation for this institution,
the position is one of honor and profit. The
Baltimore American has this to say on the
subject :
"Dr. Hiram J. Penrod, who for several
years has had charge of the United States
Signal Oflice in this city, has resigned
from the service of the Government to be
come the resident physician ot tho Mary
land Lying-in Asylum, recently establish
ed at No. 163 West Lombard street. Dr.
Penrod U H ell knewn as an accomplished
physician and a close and diligent 6tudent.
It "will be fortunate if he is succeeded at
the Signal Office by an Observer equally
ellk-Ient and courte.ias."

Wauston is sitnntgO ike extreme

pl&ut'Viihage and a better class of peo
ple are very scarce and far between than
we find right here. The population docs
not exceed 1.900, and a'moro business tow n
you will not find anywhere, according to
its size. I know I am perfectly safe in
saying that there is more business done
here in one week than there is in some ol
our EiPtern towns of twice the size in two
weeks. The surrounding couuiry is well
adapted for farming purpots. Mr. M. U. j
Hayes who lives one half mile from Wau
seon raised forty-six bushels and sis p umls ;
of wheat per acre on hislarm this was
an average on six acres of ground. The
land was summer fallowed and the Feed
put in with a drill; no manure was used on
the land.
Apples, peaches, pears and, in fact, ail
fruits are doing well, and the prospect of a
great abundance is brilliant. Corn prom
ises a very good crop in this portion of the
countrv.
Mr. Dull, of northern Indiana, was here
on a visit last week. He reports the drouth
so severe in their section that corn will
scarcely reach ten bushels per acre. Pota
tatoes are not doing as well as expected, on
account of dry weather. The bug, known
as the Colorado Potato Bug, has not injur
ed the crops very much thbeason. They
seem to be going eastward. The number
is not one fourth as large this year as there
has been for the past two years. We have
no chestnut here.
We are blessed with parties, dances,
base ball clubs, camp meetings and pic
nics. I had the pleasure of attending a
Sunday School picnic on the 20th of Aug.
between Delta and Ai. Twelve or four
teen schools were present, coming from
Delta, Ai, Etna, Swan Creek and all the
surrounding country. The different
schools met in a grove near the Union
Church, and marched in order to the grove
fitted op for the occasion. Next week we
ire going to have a camp meeting, one
half mile south of Delta. After the meet
ing you shall hear from me again. I am
ever yours, fraternally,

On Saturday Sept. 5lh,
a Sunday School picnic was held in Walk
er's Grove by .the Mt. Zion and Pine Hill
Sunday ."--jhools. though tlie morning ot
the day was cloudy and threatened rain,
the scholars, youn u and old, turned out in
large numbers to their regular place of
meeting, from whence they proceeded to
wards the grove. At a short distance
from the grove the Pine Hill School was
met by tho Mt Zion School, when both
formed into ranks and marched to the
grove, each school carrying beautifully
adorned banners and the flag of our count
ry. When they arrived at the grove all
were seated. Several hymns well adapted
to the occasion were sung, and an address
was delivered. After the exercises the
tables were set and ladened with all kinds
of eatables and dainties, such as can be
prepared by ladies only. The schools
were first invited to partake and then the
audience at large. In all about four hun
dred and fifty persons were fed. Dinner
over all joined in the social enjoyments
that are customary at all picnics. Several
large swings had been put up for the oc
casion, which were highly appreciated by
ladies and gentlemen. The grove was
made to ring with the merry laugh and
cheering song from noon till close of day.
As the shades ot night approached the
crowd dispersed, all returning to their
homes well satisfied with tho enjoj'ments
of the day. Everything passed olf pleas
antly and to the credit of the schools and
community.
Great credit is du Mr. Philip Hay, Su
perintendent, for his efficient management,
and the manner ia which he conducted
the exercises during the entire day. May
it not be long until we shall have" another
Sunday School picnic.
