It was a man who was too poor to take the borne paper who sent a dollar in an swer to the advertisement "Low to cure a horse slobbering," and received by re turn mail the answer "Learn him to spit." In the lato rebellion 800,000 men were slain a'd the cost of the struggle is figured at $7,400,000,000. The Yankees are a peaceable race, but when they get in a fighting mood they cut quite a swath. Bradford Era. Alderman Mahoney, a Justice of tbi Peace of Jamestown, .N. Y., performed the marriage ceremonv for no less than 68 Pennsylvania cnuplos during the year 1805. Other aldermen of that city had their share of nuptial knot tying, and the ministers, i is said, reaped a golden harvest. A New Csstle man went to Chicago a week ago leaving his horse, which was a great pet, under the care of a neighbor. The horse pined, fretted, refused to eat from other hands, and finally ended its grief by deliberately winding the bailer Btrap around its neck and chocking itself to death. The oldest resident of Crawford county, Is Joseph Theuret of Titusville, who is in bis t 7 1 1 1 year, yet bale and hearty.

Last summer he worked on his farm and cut, slacked aud busked 200 bushels of corn and dug 150 bushels of potatoes. A few weeks ago a man in Lexington, Ky., read that Judge J. D.

The Clarion Democrat of last week contains the following, which will be read with sadness by the many friends of Prof. Davis in this section : As reported last week, Prof. Davis went to Tlonesta on Tuesday. When he left his home some of his children were threatened with tonsilitis. This devel oped into membraneous croop, which has since been called diphtheria, and be came so alai ming that a telegram was sent to Tlonesta summoning the Princi pal home as quickly as possible. He reached home Friday afternoon and found two of his boys, Wayne, four years old, a. id Lee, six years old, very sick. Everything that could be done for the boys was faithfully done. That night about one o'clock Wayne died. The teachers and students of the Normal were not aware ot the boy's illness until his death was announced in chapel on Saturday. Arrangements were made for a private burial at nine o'clock Sunday morning. During Saturday Lee became very ill, and about eleven o'clock at night the little sufterer was tnken away to meet his brother who had passed over about twenty-two hours before. At nine o'clock Sunday morning some eight or ten men gathered in front ol the Profess or's residence aud some of them learned just then that Lee also wis dead. In the parlor were two caskets containing the remains of the boys who les than a week ago were full of life and rejoicing over their Christmas gifts. No tine went into the parlor except the lather aud tho mother, Dr. Elder and the writer. It was a scene never to lie forgotten. Mrs. Davis sat near the casket containing Lee. Dr. Elder read with deeD emotion some of the comforting words of Christ and the writer tried to pray. At the close of the pr. yer the mother, with wonderful christian fortitude, withdrew to look af ter the living. The undo' laker with our assistance carried I he caskets to the door whunce they were conveyed by the friends present to a sleigh and taken lo th cemetery. The boys were laid beside each other iu a double grave to await the time "when those who sleep iu Jesus will God bring with him." Piof. and Mrs. Davis have the sincere sympathy of a multitude of friends in this unspeakable sorrow. J. B. MARRIED. CA LDW ELI A RDKK Y At the resi dence of J. Y.
