What city has a climate so peculiar it has been described as "nine months hibernal and three mouths infernul?" • Read Stoddard's Lectures. Professors J. Miles Derr and Scbuyler G. Irwin, two of the successful teachers of Limestone township, called upon us Monday. They were in town attending institute. Wm, Kishbaugh, of Nescopeck, placed a cartridge on a rock Wednesday, which he exploded by striking it with a stone. One of the fragments struck him in the eye, destroying it. In what country are potatoes sold iu halves and quarters, poultry by the piece, and doctors paid only as long as their patients have good health ? Read Stoddard's Lectures. Northwestern Pennsylvania is in the grip of the first blizzard of the winter. Over a foot of snow has fallen and many country roads are badly drifted. All trains are late. Sleighs are in use. A wild turkey gobbler attacked John Hoffman, I,'i years old, in the woods near Claremont, Va., on Tuesday, thoroughly whipped him and forced him to flee, leaving his gun. The boy had climbed a tree to shoot a flock, when the gobbler, angered by the boy's red cap, routed him. It is expected to reach a speed of 150 miles an hour in the new tests which will be made on the high-speed eleutric line near Berliu. It will be remembered that the last experiments which were made on the specially laid track from Berlin (MarienMd) to ltossen, resulted in a speed of over 130 miles an hour. limiting statistics gathered by game and fish protective associations place the total of rabbits and game bird? bagged in Schuylkill county this sea son at less than 200 pairs, by far the lowest record ever made. The close of the hunting season will be wel comed, and extensive game propaga tion will at once be made. Patrick Houston, a rolling mill pud ler of Columbia, Pa., was ground to pieces Sunday night at that place by a train on the Pennsylvania tracks. Parts of the man were scattered along the track for a distance of two squares. It is supposed he tried to crawl under a freight train and when be win directly beneath a car the train started. In what country is the cultivation of dwarf trees anil flowers a national pastime in which the people have be came so skilled that maples, pines, and oaks one hundred years old are only about two feet in height, five or 8 it varieties of a flower are growu on a single plant, aud newspapers make daily announcements of the progress in blossoming of favorite flowers in the parks ?—Head Stoddard's Lec tures. The biggest family of to-day, ac cording to a French authority, be longs to the King of Siara. This monarch has two official wives, thirty more of a minor order, and his chil dren numbered, a few years ago, no fewer than seventy-two. His Majesty had also brothers and sisters to the number of lifty, and nearly five times as many uncles; audit is said that the King boards all these in addition to his own particular family. Miss Mildred McClain, a 20 year old teacher in the Washington, Pa., schools, almost bled to death Monday from an injury caused in a peculiar manner. She was breaking a stick of taffy candy. When the brittle sweetmeat snapped a jagged edge pierced her wrist and entered an artery. Miss McClain fainted, and was unconscious from fright and loss of blood when a physician arrived. The Rev. Isaac Sclby, of Australia, plaintiff in a damage suit held before the courts in San Francisco on Mon day, shot at Superior Judge Heb bard, who had decreed against him. He said, upon being arrested and taken to prison on a charge of an at tempt to commit murder, "I shot at Judge Hebbard because that seems the only way for a man to get justice in this country. My only regret is that I seem to have bungled matters considerably. My intention was to kill him, but I was a trifle nervous. J. Beaver Gearhart's basket ball team played the Mt. Carmel aggrega tion on Tuesday evening, which re sulted in a Bcorc of 29 to 27 in favor of the latter. The game was spirited throughout, and was pronounced one of the nnest in the armory this sea son. Captain Gearliart is deserving of much praise for the high standard in which the local team has attained, and there is every reason to believe that with the present gentlemanly manager's instruction the Danville boy's may yet reach the highest goal ia basket ball. ROCKEFELLER CRUSHES A MAN Buying Up Village to 6et Control of a Tavern. Tarrytown, N. Y., Nov. 28. The ways of John D. Rockefeller are many when he wants to accomplish anything. For three years he has vainly en deavored to buy John J. Melin's property in Briggsville, a village near the oil magnate's large estate here. Melin keeps a tavern on the road to the Standard Oil king's home. It if obnoxious to Rockefeller, and he has frequently tried to get possession of the land. He has even attempted to get Melin's license revoked, but Melin has beaten him. When Rockefeller realized he had failed to budge Melin, he decided to take the tavern keeper's business away from him. He proceeded to buy up Briggsville. If Mr. Rockefeller purchases the whole village and ousts the tenants there will be nobody to patronize Melin, who must then close out at Rockefeller's price. Rockefeller's many purchases have had their effect on Melin. whose busi ness has dwindled until he is losing money. Melin is willing to sell now, but Rockefeller has withdrawn al! offers. A cold wave is doe today. Now for the holiday rush of trade. The World's Fair shntteiß are now being hung op. Overcoats and heavy wraps will be in demand today.

The women who are advocating the abolition of Santa Clans never had any little oues of their own. It ig believed that some of the ama teur banters are responsible for the disastrous forest fires this fall. Unsettled weather conditions are noted in the Northwest, which prob ablv means a snow storm later iu the week. The hog leaves the farm for 5 cents a ponnd and qomes back as bacon at 18 oent'. This proves that lie is not the only hog in the trip. Looomotive and car factories are working overtime. This meaus that there is going to be an increased freight tralßo, and that means busy factories. By falling from the top of a derrick thirty feet high at Rnading, Howard Havilaud.son of P. O. Havlland,resid ing at Huubory, sustained injuries which caused his death. The merchants welcome the present cold wave, as Christmas is less than foar weeks away, and the weather op to this time lias not caused much of a demand for WinUr wear. The stores of Danville are potting ou a decided Christmas appearance. We are prepared to believe the drnatli in the Sooth has assumed alarming proportions when wo read that Ken tuckiauß are praying for rain.

EDITOR: —We have been enjoying beautiful weather the past two weeks. It was cold in the mornings, but as soon as the sun arose it would clear off and lie very pleasant. It was hazy during the day, as it usually is during the Indian Bummer season. Farmers have taken advantage of this period to get their out door work done before winter sets in. Quite a good deal of plowing has been done. Our cider mills are still doing business at the old stands. Monday was the coldest day of the season up to this time. Mr. Simon Jarrett visited his father, S. H. Jarrett, on Thanksgiving Day. William Marr's new barn has been completed, and is now ready for occupa tion. From what I can leaan there will be considerable moving among tenant farm ers next spring. Saturday was a squally day and by evening the ground was covered with the "beautiful." Thanksgiving Day was cloudy and gloomy, being quite a contrast to the fine weather we have been having. Miss Ethel M. Foulk. of the Williams port Commercial College, spent the Thanksgiving vacation at the home of her parents. Mr. Harry McKee, of Geneva, New York, has been spending a part of hia honeymoon at the home of A. J. Levan. Fie returned to his home last week. John R.

Warrior Hun Lodge, No. 645, I. O. O- F. will hold its thirty-sixth anniversary on Thursday evening, Dec. 8. There will be addresses by Revs. T. O. Stein, J. H. C. Mainfold and Mr. A. F. Heller, a member of the Lodge. These occasions are always interesting. The teachers of our township are en joying their usual yearly outing at the institute. Well, that is all right if they derive any benefit from their presence at the institute. If these meetings are in tended to give the teachers ideas, so as to improve their methods of teaching why are they not held at the beginuing of the school term and not wait until the term has lieen taught one haW of its length ? If the schools are to be bene fitted, then these institutes should be held earlier. If they are only intended to give the teachers a good time then why not abolish them and save expense? My opinion of these institutes will not tally with those of others, but I cannot help it. Nov. 29. 1904. BILL. A New Grocery. Harry Cromwell left yesterday for Philadelphia where he will purchase fixtures aud stook for the opening of his uew grocery store on December 10th.

Af ter his return lie was employed by the Welliver, Hardware Company. He is an aotive young man and should succeed. Want to Change Pole. A number of the School Directors are very much dissatisfied with the loca tion of the trolley pole that has been placed on the Walnut street side of the Third Ward Soliool building. The polo stauds too far inside the pave ment audit is the sense of the Board that <t should either be placed against the building or outside of the ourb lino. A committee was appointed to wait upon Mr. Pasooe aud see if the pole could not be removed to a more oou veuiout plaoe before the wires were attaohed. Tooey & Henning Will Dissolve.

Fcnlke, of Danville, Pa., who. it is as serted, operated a "get-rich-quick" scheme there. He is accused of obtain ing money under false pretense, tbe prosecutors being Paul Livingood, Eliner Hunter, Thomas C. Sincoe, C. Mengel. George Rothermel, George J. Keinsley and Walter Oswald. The amounts in each case vary from $17.50 to S4O. Foulke gave bail in Danville for his ap pearance in Allentown next week. Foulke's scheme, it is said, guaranteed dividends of over 65 per cent in ten weeks, or nearly 340 per cent, a year. Foulke, it is asserted, represented the Keystone Commission Company of Dau ville, and received subscribers to the stock of the company, tbe subscribers paying $5 dowu and (11.25 a week for ten weeks, a total payment of $17.50. The stock was then to lie worth $28.50, and could be redeemed in cash by the com pany or the share-holder could receive a diamond valued at $32.50. These enor mous profits, Foulke, it is said, assured the investors, would accrue from the payments ol subscribers who failed to continue their payments. The time for the distribution of divi dends came, but Foulke. it is alleged, was not ready to make payments. —Sun- bury Daily This week finds us a day late again.

When a woman says she wouldn't marry the best man alive she speaks the truth; she couldn't get him. I "To-morrow" is the reef that has cost the life of many a business man.

Danbury, Conn., Nov, 30.—The granddaddy of all the frogs, a huge fellow, was found today in a closed well that was dug fifty-three years ago and forgotten. Everything goes to prove that this venerable frog had lived in the well for more than half a ceutury, although it may have taken underground excursions along tho vein of water that feeds the well. Just as fish living in the ocean's ex treme depths and in caverns are sightless, so this patriarchal frog kept its eyes shut when it was ex posed to daylight and. removed from its long accustomed dwelling place, it died in half an hour. The well, dug in 1851, stood in what was the front yard of the Pearco mansion, nil old house even ill this old town. The mansion has been moved anil on its site is being erected a business block. A workman dig ging yesterday struck a large flat stone several feet be!ow the ground's surface. The stone was removed, the well was exposed, its wall thickly covered with vegetation. Out of tho water, which was fifteen feet below the well's mouth, projected a rock, and on this was seated grandpa frog, monarch of all it darkly surveyed. The fiog was as green as the slimy water and the plants that clung to the oozy walls. Falrvlew School Report.
