many days of anxiety and waiting

—The ballasting of the S. &A. R. It., and
its branches is almost completed. It was bal
lasted with gravel brought from Pardoe. This
gravel is put on the car 3 with a steam shovel,
four shovels ful' making a car load, and it is
unloaded with a plow worked by the locomo
tive—the brakes of the train are turned down,
the locomotive detached from it and hitched to
the plow, which is then pulled from one end of
the train to the othtr. 'J he loading and un.
loading of a gravel train is but the work of a
few minutes.
—The Rochester & Pittsburgh R. R. Co., is
having serious trouble with its coal miners at
Dubois, in Clearfield county, and have employ
ed a large force ot detectives to protect its
propertv and the lives of those miners who

average 300 cars, but the mines were invaded
last Tuesday by 1000 striking miners from
other points, who threaten violence iu case
the employees of the company will not join
them iu the strike. Several cases of rifles and
amunition have been shipped to Dubois for the

—The Germauia will give their fourth Con
cert at our Court House, tomorrow, (Thursday)

tral only, excepting the assistance of Mrs.
Charles Walker, of Youngstown, 0., who will
give several vocal selections, and Miss Hattie
Thome of same place, who has returned from
the East a musical graduate (so we learn) aud
who will give several piano solos. So with the
assistance named this promises to be as fine a
concert as the society has given. Admission
for this concert is 50 cents, children 25 cents
—The most extensive snake story of the sea
son comes from Armstrong county. The hret
Press says that a farmer of West Franklin
township, that county, whose word is as good
as old wueat iu the mill, says he had a choice
hen setting on li> eggs. One morning on pay
ing the lien a visit he found she had left the
nest aud he soon preceived that a huge black
snake had coiled itself within the nest. Upon
seeing this the gentleman stepped back gather
ed a stick and killed the snake. On cutting off
the head of the snake he took it by the tail,
shaking it over the nest, aud the 19 eggs drop
ped back into the nest. The eggs being leit in
the nest, the hen returned to her nest, and in
due time she had hatched 18 little chickens,
said by those who have seen them to be rare
curiosities. This peculiarity is noticed iu the
little chickens as being afraid of every stick
they see, running back from it in the greatest
terror, uttering the cry of fear.
—The remains of Mr. J. K. Graham, the
Bradford Journalist, were buried at North
Washington last Saturday. Graham was a re
porter on the Bradford Era when its first be.
gan to note news in its small columns. Ben
Hogan, ex-pugilist, aud at that time the ter
ror of the Bradford oil field, was fearlessly
censured by Graham in the Era. Hogan pur
chased a "biack-snake" whip and called to
lash everybody in the office. He was persuad
ed not to act violent. Graham continued the
attack in the Era and finally Hogan and his
women lied from Tarport to Europe, and soon
after he reformed. Graham was a voluminous
and fiery writer, being last employed on the
Bradford Evening Mail.
J —The U. P. congregation, of Portersville,
held a reunion at their church last Thursday
which was well attended both by the present
congregation and by the ex-members, includ
ing several front Butler. Rey. J. A. Clark,
the pastor, presided at the excercises, aud he
was assisted by Itev. Shaw, who welcomed the
guests, and Rev. Young who addressed the
Sabbath School. A lunch table had been
set in the church and it was loaded with the
best of everything the country afforded and
pleanty of it. The occasion was one for gener
al hand shaking and congratulations aud all
seemed to highly enjoy it. The church was
organized in 1840 with Rev. William Douthett
as pastor, and was a split from the Mountville
congregation, at that time presided over by
Rev. Murray. Rev. Douthett was succeeded by
Reverends James N. Smith, Andrew Irons, J.
C. Donaldson, William Galbreath, and the
present pastor J. A. Clark.
—The question of standard time or times
has been under consideration by the railroad
managers of the country since their convention
last spring, when a Mr. Allen proposed that
all the railroads of North America should be
ruu by five standard times corresponding to
meridians 60,75, 90, 105 and 120 West from
Greenwich and one hour apart, a proposition
that will probably beaded upon and adopted at
their next meeting. The last four times men
tioned t-ke in all of the United States. All
the railronds of New England, the Middle
Slates aud the States south of them will, if the
new arrangement is adopted, ruu on the time
of the 75th meridian, which is about one min
ute faster than Philadelphia time, the railroad,
of the Mississippi valley by that of
the 90th meridian, a little faster
than St. Louis time, the railroads
of the Western States by that of the 105 th
meridian, nearly Denver time, those of the
Paciffc States by that of the 120 th meridian,
the line between Nevada and California. This
would simplify things for the railroads, as
there at present 49 time standards used in the
United States, but these times would not come
into general use, as they at some points involve
a difference of over half an hour from solar
time.
