Pomeroy, in the tuiuds of the people of Juniata, has been a high one and those who knew b.m best are full of expres sion of sympathy, leeliug satisfied that his present misfortune was brought about by a complication in the matter of estate of his fa.her, deceased.

It now seems that Philadelphia .peo ple are moving in large numbers to to ar. range their business that they may quit work at noon oa Saturday, aud not resume work ti'l Monday morning. 'Mass meetiugs are being held to bring about sucn a sea son of rest, all of which proves that the Lost Creek people have been ahead of their age and that others are only catching up. An exchange says: It ia said that a move ment is on foot throughout tbia State to break up the sale of imitation butter lor genuine, which is carried on quite exten sively in nearly every town iu the State. The uioveuieut ia prompted by the larmers and dairymen who are unable to compete with the manufactured stuff and by consu mers who are imposed upon with the com pound. Oieomargariue or butterine may be ait right when sold as such, but the ob jection is to its sale as genuine butter.

Boys will you hoed it T Tribune, April 16. From Newport News of April 17 : The court room at Uloouifiald was wrought up to a high point of interest on Tuesday morn ing over the report that cauie in incomplete form to the.etfcxt that Jake Tobias, of Se township, bad beaten bis wife so badly oa Sunday morning that her life hung in the balance. The first announcement was that lue woman had been murdered outright. But she was not, is aiiveaud tucumg, aud kicked because her big husband went to a dance on Saturday night without her. The report first started ou ihe wings ot ihe uioruiug was that Jake had whipped his wile tor following him to a dance. Careful inquiry disproves even this rumor. She followed him to a dance and he went home without her, but did not do her any bodiiy haiui.

"Quit you like .men be strong." Interior. Pnr. SI'Kendrick, M. D., LL. D., presi dent of the Glasgow University Total Absti nence Society, recently gave bia reasons for adopting total abstinence principles. There was, be said, Brat the physiological argu ment. There could nut be the slightest doubt that haoitual iudueuce iu alcoholic bmulants beyond a ceiuiu minimum was after a time iuvariably Injurious. It bad been proved that a state of perfect health and vigor could be maintained without their use. The question, loo, was a moral one. When a man or woman indulged immoder ately in alcoholic drink, there was a degra dation of the moral character. They became untruthful and dishonest. The character of the nervous and brain tissue deteriorated and there was less ability to withstand temptation. Irish Templar. The Central W. C. T. U. of Chicago, is ending to all physicians of the city a circu lar letter asking that they subscribe, if they can conscientiously do so, to the following concensus of opinion prepared by leading men and women of the profeasion : Since physicians are the administrators of the laws of Dietetic, and Therapeutic in all civilized countries, and alcohol ia at the present time prescribed under these laws, it seems advisable that we as member, of the vast and influential body of physicians of America should aid the investigation of the true nature and effect of this agent by giving public expression to our opinions. We thorefore state that we believe. 1st. Tbat alcohol is a poison. 2nd. That alcohol ia not in any proper sense a food and should be eliminated from our list of Dietetics. Sid. That alcohol in any form interferes with the true digestive process.- It produ ce, a morbid alcoholic condition ol the blood corpuscles which prevents their fnll absorp tion of oxygen, checks tho rapidity of the blood aeration, and result, in an insufficient oxygonated blood supply. The direct ac tion of alcoholized blood is upon the nerve centers and their fibre, causing diminution of their activities, or paralysis, and some de gree of indigestion. 4th. That the popular idea that alcohol is a waste arrestor and a food economizer is false. It retards metamorphosis of tissue and so promotes disease, causing croetni nently paralysis, fatty degenerations and sclerosis. 6 th. That the nerve centers have a cer tain chemical affinity for alcohol facilitating its accumulation in their centers and pro ducing there marked degenerative process es. Cth. That the force generating theory of alcohol is untenable, having been so proved by the testa of athletes ; by travelers, as Livingston, Bruce, Waterton, Smollett and Weston ; by the soldiers in long exhausting marches in other countries and in Ameri ca. 7th. Tbat alcohol is equally injurious in the extremes of heat and cold, as throngh its deoxygenation of the blood it reduces the animal tempeiature and depresses the vital force. hth. That the direct relation of alcohol to insanity is now well established through in sane asylum statistics. 9th. That the deterioration produced by alcohol in the nerve centers, haa a a pecu liar tendency to hereditary transmission, cmsing iT the descendants insanity, idiocy, nei vi'iis disease, weakness of will, insta bility of mind and depraved appetites. 10th. That it is the duty of physicians to prescribe alcohol as they prescribe atrych- iiue, as selJuiu ana as sparingly as possi ble. MAliliIKi): PUFFEXBF.KGER McKINLKY. On tle 1 1th of March, by Kev. A.
