The course for the proposed tejU
railrotul from this place to Selins
grove is one that may be tfUilj grad
ed. The wori being of such an in
expensre character in railroad mak
ing, that lees expense could be in
curred scarcely anywhere, unless, in
deed, it were in the construction of a
road across prairie lands, yet with
all that inexpensive route the road is
not ready for the ties.
Thousands upon thousands of dol
lars of subscription have been paid,
thousands upon thousands of dollars
of bonds have changed owners as eo
many obligations against the com

I subscriptions will all be exhausted,

No one says that this is a set up
job to sell a few hundred thousand
dollars of bonds, on the credit of a
local railroad company, but every
body who has paid money into the
concern, or who are being sued for
what is not yet paid, are getting quite
anxious to know something as to
what has been done with the money
that has been paid on subscription,
and what has been done with the
money that the bonds were sold for.
But more by and by.
a
Tin plan proposed to settle the Presiden
tial muddle does not by any means give the
Presidency to Mr. Tiiden ; it only provides
a way to count the electoral vote in such a
way that the captious niun will have to be
satirfiud. If TUden has a majority of the
electoral college he will be declared Presi
dent of the United States, and as such
must be respected. If Hayes has a majority
of the electoral collage he will b; declared
President of the Cuited States, and as such i
must be respected. When the people of)
this conntry t oted in November tbe voted
with only that object in view, and all the
trouble that has existed since has been
caused by the bad men in politics.
The probability is that Hayes will be de
clared President on a conect count ot the
electoral votes, however, if the claims of
the Democrats be correct, the Commission
ers Will reveal them, at.d so announce the
result.
There are muny recipes by which it is
said apple cider may be kept any length of
time sweet aud- with the flavor as it came
Iroui the cider mill or press, but as a rule
the recipes when applied do not keep the
ciiler as they proless they will. Officer
Samuel Wilson put up a quantity of cider
under the direction of a recipe in his pos
session, and now in mid-winter he enjoys
the luxury of an occasional drink of cider,
sweet and full of flavor a wbeu it was put
up. The spigot of his barrel is an exclu
sive one, but if you can get a '-drop or two
from it," you will be willing to attest to the
efficacy of his recipe for preserving cider
sweet and tluvorv.

Notes from East Fayette.
DEATH OF AN AOEb CITIZEN.
Mrs. Elisabeth Hosteller, widoTr of
iBe late Jacob Hostetler, died on tbe
21st inst. at tbe residence of ber daugh
ter, Mrs. Hannah Crater, in Monroe
township, in the 69th year of ber agei
She was a woman of remarkable mem
ory. Sin remembered incidents tbat
occurred when she was only six years
of age, and it was quite Interesting to
hear her tell of tbe many interesting
occurrences tbat took place in ber early
day. She was a daughter of the Kev.
John Graybill, who was one of the first
settlers in tbe neighborhood of Rich
field, and is well remembered by many
of tbe older citizens. Tbe funeral of
the deceased was attended by a large
concourse of relative and friends.
RELIGIOUS.
The Dnnkards or German Baptists
are holding quite an interesting meeting
at their church at Good ill.
Tbe good work begun by the religious
people of MeAlisterville and vicinity
during the week of prayer baa, we hope,
resulted in inush good.
A HALE OLD MAX.
Mr. Joshua Van Oruier, of East
Fayette, is now in bis 81st year, and is
bale and hearty. lie ia a farmer by
occupation. He walks over the ice and
snow with as much agility as a man of
40. He keeps three bead ol horses,
six or eiftht bead of cattle, and other
stock. He attend to all bis stock
himself, and a'.so cuts bis firewood. He
was to see the grand Centennial Exhi
bition, and it was currently reported
tbat be bathed in the refreshing waters
of the Atlantic at Cape May. Lougev-;
ity appears to be hereditary with him,
as bis father lived to be 9)3 years old,
and from present appearances be ina
live to see bis one hundredth anniver
sary ; and to add to all tbat, be is a
staunch Republican.
CHAMPION HUNTER.
Harrison Varner, of Slim Valley, is
the champion hunter, aud is still ahead
as far ar beard from. He bas caught
12 cr 15 red and gray foxes, and prom
ises to double that number before the
winter is over. He and his brother
keep from 10 to 15 dogs, and when they
go for Mr. Reynard tbey mean busi
ness. Aud it is very unhealthy for a
Dtmk to commit depredations on onr
poultry bouses, for when he does so,
the next that is beard of Lira is tbat
the Varoers have got bis scalp before
the bearest Justice for a bounty.
MATRIMONIAL.
Our quiet neighborhood was thrown
into a glow of exciteiueut by a quiet
and nuaiuspecting wedding, tamely that
of Mr. John Auker, of Sli.u Valley, to
Miss Sue Ilibbs, of Delaware town
ship, John is a weil to do young man,
aud bas resolvrd to settle io tbe west,
we hope his highest expectations may
realized, others there arc, who should
go west from this county.
RVEN.
On Fridsy evening last, Mrs. Wil
liam L. Ritchie, residing with her father,
Mr. William Meredith, at No. 1325
Eighth avenne, was fearfully burned by
ber clothes takin? fire from a coal oil
lamp. She was seated at a table io
company with a little daughter of her
sister, Mrs. Elder, reading a paper,
when she got up and went to the stove.
Meanwhile tbe child took possession of
the chair, and on Mrs. Richie's return
she pitcbed up tbe little one with a view
of taking ber on ber knee, when tbe
child, by clutching tbe table cover,
dragged the lamp off upon the floor.
The lamp was broken by the fall at Mrs.
Ritchie's feet, petting fire to ber ctctb
iog aud burning npward to ber waist.
Her lower extremities were burned to a
cri.-p before the names were extinguish
ed. The clothing of the little girl also
'ook fire, and when discovered by ber
graudmother, Mrs. Meredith, was en
veloped in flames. W itti great pres
ence of niind Mrs. Meredith groped
tbe child and draaing ber between ber
legs, wrapped her clothing about the
little one, thus completely smothering
the fire. One arm of the child was
severely burned aud tbe bair on its bead
badly singed, while the grandmother's
bands were also badly burned. Mr.
Ritchie was up stairs at tbe time, aud
hearing the alarm came promptly to tbe
rescue. Taking in tbe situation be
rushed back and quickly returned with
some bed-clothes, with which be envel
oped Lis wife and smothered the fire,
but not before tbe was terribly and
fatally burned from her waist down
ward. Mr. Ritchia bad both bands
seriously burned in bis efforts to save
his wife. Mrs. Ritchie liogered in in
teuse agony nntil 7 o'clock on Monday
morning, when death relieved ber of
ber sufferings. She was only married
last June, and aged about 18 years.
This makes tbe tbird woman who bas
perished from a similar cause in this
city almost within a year, vix : Mrs.
Jacob Stoner, Mrs. Andrew Seidel, and
now tbe victim of this notice. Altoona
Tribune.
On Sunday last Mr. David Spotts, of
Newport, found a scratch on'the neck of
bis child. Further investigation de
veloped the faot tbat a long needle lay
under tbe akin on tbe shoulder with tbe
point projecting enough to make the
scratch as the child turned its bead.
The needle lay full length in view under
the skin, except tbe point, but bow it
came there, or how long it bad been in
the child, is a question not easily au-BweTed.'-Bloomfield

and Illustrated," and is a complete
history aod pictiti&l representation of
this grandest world's fair tbe world has
ever known.
1 be exhibits of the various notions
are taken up in the order of their prom
ioence, commenceinz with the United
States, tbe most notable aud character
istio of whose exhibits are carefully
noticed, whether in the Main Building,
Machinery Hall, Government Uuilding,
Memorial Hall, or in the numerous
smaller structures erected ail tbrrugb
the grounds by Americau exhibitors.
In tbe same manner is treated Great
Britain and ber Colonies, Germany,
France, Russia and Braxil, minor Eu
ropean states, South Americau repub
lics, Africa, Asia, so that nothing that
is of striking and prouiiuent interest is
overlooked.
Suitable space is devoted to a de
scription of the different State Build
ing-, and of tbe interesting ceremonies
of tbe great State days, celebrating tbe
individual prosperity of the original
thirteen States, and also of the Mem
orable Parades and Anniversaries which
have been held in Philadelphia by tbe
different organizations, societies, Ac,
in honor cf the Centennial commemo
ration of our national independence.
An interesting account is given of
tbe remarkable Live Stock Exhibition ;
Biographies of the prominent Officials
who have conducted this great enter
prise with distinguished ability ; par
ticulars of the Awards granted to Ex
hibitors ; the suporb and enduring
Medals commemorative thereof; aod to
complete tlijs uieui'iiial volume, a
graphic delineation of the imposing
ceremonies of tbe Exhibition.
It has been prepared from material
gathered on the grounds, by the most
careful, patient and laborious research,
and from official source, and though it
does uot claim, as some do, to be by
official authrrity, it commands confi
dence thereby, Gen. Havlcy having an
nounced tbat no book bas any tight to
such a claim.
But tbe interest and value of the
bock lie largely in its profuse and bril
liant illustrations. In this multitude
of finely executed engraving, tbe main
features of tbe Exhibition are vividly
impressed on tbe mind of the reader in
a way that words cannot do. It is tbe
next thing to seeing tbe great World's
Fair itself.
