They sent off a hundred miles or so for witnesses in the case of ibe young lady of Cherry township, who is accused of concealing the death of her child, and after putting the county to that cost, thought it their duty to remain in ses sion till the witnesses arrived. —An editor in this state says: 'We need SI,OOO before the first of January ' It is a queer announcement for an edi tor to make ; but if he intends to make his wife a Christmas present he should have the money. We suppose he might give her a twenty-five dollar patent medicine order, but editors' wives don't appreciate such presents.— Norristown Herald. —A terrible accident, resulting in the death of eleven men, occurred at Gib son station, on the Ohio river, a few miles below Pittsburg, early 'ast Sat urday morning.* A two-story shanty, in which lorty-six persons were sleep ing, was set on fire by the explosion of a swinging lamp in the hall, and the fire made such a dense smoke that many of the men were immediately overcome, and ten of them perished in the flames. —The Ohio dentists do not tolerate murder. For years the Goodyear Rub ber Company bas been waging war against the dentists of the country, un der the patent laws, and one of the in cidents of the struggle was the killing of a rubber company acent by a Cali- ! fornia dentist. A Columbus dentist asked the State Association last week to sympathize with the homicide by resolutions but instead of doing that they ruled him out, and then voted him a censure. He took it like a man. —The man Haley, alias Phelan, who swindled the Emlenton Bank, some two years ago by means of a forged check, was tried at Franklin, lately, convicted and sent to the peniten tiary. Haley is an adroit scoundrel with » fascinating history. He made overtures offering to make the bank good and double their loss. The usual way with metropolitan moneyed con cerns is to treat with such sharpers, make terms that will save them, and let the criminal loose once more upon the world. —The goods which are now in dis play in the shops may not include many striking novelties, but every year the articles offered for sale at the holiday season grow more tasteful on the aver age The improvement in this respect has been wonderful within ten years, within five years, indeed. Never be fore, too, was the variety of tasteful ar ticles for holiday gifts attainable at a small coßt, so great as it is now. A tour of inspection through the shops where all these things, costly and cheap, are now displayed, is therefore well worth while. NEWSPAPER sharks—that is that class who take a paper for a number of years, and then skip wilhout paying for it—are reminded by a contempora ry that 'the new postal law now makes the taking of a newspaper and the re fusal to pay for the same, theft, and any person guilty of such an action is liable to criminal proceedings, the same as if he had stolen goods to the amount of subscription.' A New York paper has already commenced suit against several subscribers for such an offence.— Parker Phwnix. After an existence of sixty-oue years Van Amburgh's show met the iuglorious fate of being knocked to pieces by au auctioneers hammer a few days ago. Venerable men who re member munching gingerbread and staring at the monkeys in the Great Show fifty or sixty yearsago will prob ably nod their gray heads and hum softly what they used to howl vocifer ously when they were lads that "Van Amburgh is the man who goes to all the dhows, He goes into the lion's den, and tells you all he knows ; He sticks his head in the lion's mouth, and keeps it there awhile, And when he takes it out again he greet* you with a smile." —A photograph, probably the larg est ever printed upon a single sheet of paper, is now on exhibition in the art gallery of the American Institute. It is not uncommon to see several views which have been separately printed on small sheets of paper and pasted to gether to make a panorama of large in dustrial works, etc., but this remarka ble specimen was printed from seven negatives on one sheet of paper, and covers an area of over ten feet in length by about eighteen inches in height. It is a panoramic view of the Centen nial ground in Philadelphia, Pa., and so perfectly are the negatives joined that it is impossible to locate the joints. Were it not for the announcement of the exhibitor that it wag printed from seven negatives, no lay observer would imagine that it was other than a sin gle view printed from a single nega tive.

A cashier of the Centreville Savings Bank to succeed A. T. liard, deceased, will not be elected until in January. Webster's deGoition of a fly-wheH was criticized by a member of our local scientists and a continued discussion of the subject has been the result. Our town is without a council,'hence the deplorable condition of our streets. The boys are amnsing themselves with target shooting. Centreville station is fast growing into a place of importance ; she now boasts a grocery, a furniture store and an organ agency. Mrs. Cross, widow of the late James Cross, died on Thursday after an illness of three months. T S. Coulter <fc Co. are manifesting uuusual enterprise this season. They have just received an extensive stock of goods for the holiday trade. Mr. Gettys Morrison was around "setting up" the cigars to all hands one day laut week.

It is to be remark ed, also, that public men who hereto fore have dawdled with protection now stand firmly on their feet and declare with emphasis that protection is the thing to pay the national debt and at the same time insure universal pros perity. Companion to this is the Don Cameron idea of free tobacco, the diet of the masses, and the product of vast regions, a strip of Pennsylvania includ ed. This ie supplemented from tbe corn growing region with the progressive suggestion of free whisky. 'These to gether,' said a prairie region represen tative, 'will place the bread of life within the reach of all and give the poor man a chance, while the national debt will be paid with a stiff tariff' Elegant Holiday UOOJN.

The expenditures for the same pe riod were about $260,000,000,0f which tbe civil service took 18,000,000, pen sions $50,000,000, the War Department , $40,000,000, the Navy Department- I ment $10,000,000, interest on the pul>- I lie debt $82,500,000, and various other I purposes the rest.

The ] Secretary recommends the stoppage of the coining of silver dollars, a revis ion of tbe tariff, tbe repeal of the tax on bank capital, retaining that on bank circulation, the maintenance of the taxes on whisky and tobacco, and the gradual extinction of the public debt by paying off instead of refunding the [ extended 5 and 6 per cent, bouds.
