—The mercury in this town last Friday
morning ranged from 24 to 32 degrees below
zero, and next morning was from 2 to 4 degrees
lower. This is the coldest weather we nave
had since '56, after the big snow of that winter.
That was the winter that rye was in such great
demand, and everybody was hauling it to
Pittsburgh in sleds. One teamster for John
Berg took in a load of 150 bushels.
—Our grocerymen have lately been missing
sacks of flour, hams and other articles, left
outside after dark. One grocervman who re
ceived a dozen cans of maple syrap the other
day, had eight of them stolen from his store
door that evening. Bellas & Miller missed a
sack of buckwheat flour Monday evening, and
suspecting a certain young man of the theft,
went after htm and caught him carrying it
home.
—By acts passed and approved last winter
the weight of a bushel of coal was fixed at 76
pounds, and of a ton at 2,000 ponnds net, and

were made. An act was also passed and ap
proved making it a misdemeanor punishable
by fine not exceeding S2OO, and imprisonment
not exceeding three months, to use or sell by
false beams, scales, weights or measures.
—Advices from Mobile says the late cold
snap caused immense damage to that section.
The loss to orauge groves is estimated at nearly
a million dollars, and the yalue of vegetables
killed in Mobile county alone will reach the
same sum. Oreat damage was also done to
the orange groves of Florida, but mauy orange
growers, profitting by the Signal Servioe warn
ing. built fires in their groves and thus saved
their trees.
—Some of our youth who have exhausted
all the ordinaly pleasures should establish a
whizzer in the ice before it is gone. A whit
zer is made by planting an upright pole
through a hole in the ice, and attaching two
hoizontal bars to the pole. The bars are
about fitteen feet long and on opposite sides of
the pivot pole. The operation of the contriv
ance is capstan-wise, and when a dozen young
sters get hold of the bars and skate around
somebody gets hurt. When a boy losses his
grip he whizzes, and the fun of the game con
sists in watching those who have the bad
judgment to let go. A down-east whizzer, the
other day skiuned one boy's face hy hurling
him about fifty feet along the ice, sprained one
wrist, broke a knee-pan and split one head.
The machine was then stopped for the after
noon. By all means get a whizzer.

—An exchange rushes wildly into a finan
cial problem thus: Buy a hen for twenty-five
cents and in a dozen days, if she is a good
"layer," you will have got your money back
and five cents besides; that is if she lays eggs. ;
She mar lay round, like some men that we
know and never lay anything to her credit.
The way to get your money out of a lazv hen
is to wring her neck for market. The way to
get your money out of a lazy man—well, we
give it up. You can't get blood out of a turnip
and a lazy man's blood never turns up to any
account.
—The schools of Guernsey county, Ohio, have
been closed on account of a peculiar and very
fatal disease that has appeared among the
children, said to have been brought from the
West. The disease makes its appearance very
suddenly and the symptoms are from the first
very alarming. The victim's throat begins
swelling and fills up with mucus, and the face
assumes a dark purplish hue. A high fever at
once results, and the eyes of the victim coutract
as terrible vomiting spells set in. The vomit
ive continues, giving the Kttle sufferer great
distress, and kills it inside of two days unless it
can be checked.

—Several coal mines in the Mahoning Valley
have been engaged for some time in issuiug
script to their miners which was exchanged at
certain stores for goods and other commodities,
which the holder of it desired. The fact was
reported to Washington, D. C., and a special
agent of the Treasury Department has been
through the Mahouing Valley investigating the
cases reported to him. It is claimed by the
Treasury Department that the issuiug of the
scrip for the purpose of a circulat.ug medium
is in violation of the Federal Statutes. \V hat
step* will be taken by the government in the
matter is not known.
—There are already 496,201 persons who are
drawiug pensions for injuries received in the
late war. Many of these have been fraudulent
ly obtained. There are bills pending in Cougress
that would add over 1,800,000 persons to the
number of pensioners, and m;ike d charge ou
the Treasury estimated at $1,295,725,000 a
sum that would nearly double the nat.onal
debt. Of course there is no danger that all
these bills will be passed, but there will be a
desperate efiort made by the pension lobby to
push some of them through. The handsome
surplus in the Treasury is a constant tempta
tion to harpies of tbi* kind, who look on it as
their legitimate prey.
—While Perry Wally, son of Thos. Wally,
who lives near Queenstowu, Armstrong county,
was examining a cheap revolver last I riday
morning, it was accideutly discharged and the
bullet struck his little six-vear-old sister in
head above the right ear and passing through
the brain lodged in the skull back ot the left
ear. Dr. Wallace, of East Brady, located the
ball, but did not think it safe to attempt re
moving it until the child recovered from her
shock. Up to Sunday noon she was yet living.
The lamily, at the time of the accident were
sitting around the tire, and the little girl is the
only girl of a family of seven children.
There is always much discussion over
the question as to whether the wind has any
effect upon the mercury. To settle the matter,
careful experiments were made last month at
the U. S. Signal Service Station at Cleveland.
One thermometer was placed on the north
side of the station, completely exposed t« the
wind, while another WHS equally exposed to
the cold but was shielded from the wind. Dur
ing the month of December, observations were
taken several times daily, and the final sum
ming up shows that the exposed thermometer
yaried but two-tenths of a degree from the
sheltered one. The instruments used were
those furnished by the Government, and are
the most perfect made.
—A special term of the court has been called
in Forest county to try a great ejectment case
aud decide the ownership of a valuable tract of
oil territory in Howe township, containing 600
acres. There are on the property at least ten
first-class producing oil wells, and the oil al
ready produced in the hands of a receiver is
estimated at 200,000 barrels. The preseut liti
gation dates back to 1837, when the property
was of little value and sold to pay the taxes.
The claimants are O. E. Clark and Leroy Judd
of Leadville, Col., and the defendant in the
ejectment proceeding is the Balltown Oil
Company. The value of the property in dis
pute is a half million. Since the above was put
in type the case has beeu settled, and by the
terms of settlement the defendant company re
tains possession of the 200,000 barrels of oil
produced and the plaintiffs enter upon posses
sion of the property.
It may be a little early in the season for a
first class fish story, but this will do for a star
ter: A fish dealer down in Salineville, 0., says
that be received a box of frozen fish from Cleve
land during the recent blizzard. They were so
hard and brittle that they had to be handled
with care to keep them from breaking in pieces
He sold one to an old lady, who took it home
and put it in a bucket of cold water to let it
thaw put gradually. During the night she
heare something splashiug and flopping around
in the kitchen. Supposing it was the cat trying
to get the fish, she jumped out of bed, seized
the broom and broke for the scene. There was
no cat visible, but the fish was makiug the
water fly in all directions. As near as could be
learned, these fisb had lain out in the cold two
nights before being packed in boxes, and had
been out of the water more than two weeks.
—Mr. McGinley, who lives on Pearl street,
this town, and who is 85 years of age, says that
the deepest SHOW of which he has any recollec
tion was that of 1832, when snow fell on the
level to a depth of four feet, and drifted so
bad'.y as to make the roads impassible, and in
some cases made it difficult for farmers to get
out of their houses and procure fire-wood and
water. He, at that time, lived in Donegal
township, and the body of a neighbor who
died that winter, had to be kept in the house
several days before it was possible for his
friend* and neigbors to bury him. They final
fastened two long poles to a horse's back, pin
ned them together and placing the coffin on
this dragged it to the Sugar Grove cemetery.
It tot k tneip the best part of a day to travel
eight miles, and the "poor man" was dumped
off into every drift they came to.
—Between the noif« they are making in
France and the noise to be made here over the
American hog in his commercial and sanitary
aspects there is no reason to apprehend that
that interesting animal will not receive all the
attention he deserves. He is a great animal,
equal alone to the labor of payiug two or three
national debts, and a glance at the financial
side of his history is fitted to inspire respect
for bim even on the part of those cold hearted
creatures who could never sympathize with the
man who burned d w his house to have roast
P'g. Congress has him on its mind to an enor

whicb country he has been surveyed through
the scientific spectacles of Mr. Paul Bert,
which are very much like the spectacles that
Mr. Jules Verne puts on when he is about to
write a romance remotely involving some scien
tific theory.
—Census reports show that |over 50,000 per
sons in this country are sightless. Out of
every thousand of our population may be
counted one whose eyeballs are curtained by
eternal night. These unfortunates we have
with us always, a perpetual appeal to the
tears of sympathy and the strong and hearty
hand of beneficence. The blind need condol
ence and pity less, however, than they require
those resources and employments and distrac
tions that diversify life and make it a joyous
and beautiful thing. Among these must be
reckoned conspicuously the access to and use
of good literature such as eve"-" schoolboy or

Not Drawn from the Cask.
DEAR SIR:—
I wish to make known through
your Journal, why it is that my wine cannot
be had from the Druggists by the Pint or
&c., drawn from tbe Cask.
It is because there are so many unprincipled
men in the business that I dare not trust my
wines to be dealt out in that way and remain
pure. Unless 1 have some security against its
adulteration, too many men would make two
bottles out of one by adulteration, as the wine
is so rich that it will stand that, and even
more, and yet sell for mv pure wine, and not
be noticed by those who nave been using Cali
fornia Port wine. The only security the pub
lic have in getting my wine pure, is for me to
bottle it and affix my signature over the cork
of each bottle. The price at one dollar per
bottle is no more than it would be in bulk, ex
cept the cost of the bottling, cork aud label.
I would be glad to sell it by the barrel,
could 1 be sure of its being dealt out to con
sumers in its pure state. I found years ago by
experience that the only way the public could
get m.C wine pure, was to seal every package,
with my signature over the stopper.
Not long ago a druggist in Trenton, N. J.,
was approached by a customer who wanted a
bottle of Speer's Port Grape Wine for his sick
wife, "I have it" said the druggist, who at
once repaired to the cellar and shortly came
up with a bottle part filled and corked and no
label, and delivered it to the customer for
Speer's Port Grape Wine. The customer took
it home, it maee uis wife sick, he afterwards
showed the wine to a physician who declared
it was nothing like Speer's wine-t, but misera
ble stuff palmed off instead.
This shows the necessity of taking every
precaution to insure a method by which con
sumers may be sure when they get my wine.
Yours Respectfully,
ALFRED SPEER.

A Victim of Morphine.
XKW HAVEN, Jan. 24.—The wife of
Dr. Ernest L. R. Thompson, a well
known physician, was found by a
domestic lying dead in her bed this
afternoon. In one hand she clutched a
bottle which had contained chloroform,
and the other pressed a handkerchief
which had been saturated with the
drug over her face. Mrs. Thompson
was about 29 years of age, aud was
born in Baltimore, where she is highly
connected. She was remarkably beau
tiful when Dr. Thompson raairied her
some years ago, and was, moreover,
intellectual and accomplished. Within
a few years sh*» has become a slave to
the habit of taking morphine, a post
mortem examination showing that her
lower limbs were covered with scars,
resulting from frequent hypodermic
injections. It is alleged that she would
sell anything she could lay her hands
on to procure money to purchase the
drug. A few days ago she tried to in
duce her husband's office boy to pawn
her wedding ring, and only this morn
ing while delirious she ran down stairs
in her night dress, called in a rag ped
dler who was passing, and offered him
some wearing apparel in exchange for
money. She was in agony all the time
of late, and more than once talked of
self-destruction.

—A bill has been introduced in the
House at Washington making letter
postage two cents an ounce, instead of
half an ounce, as at present. There is
no question but that the ounce is a
much better standard for letter-weight
than the half ouDce. A very large pro
portion of letters vary so slightly from
the half-ounce weight that a reasonable
doubt usually exists whether a single
or a double stamp is required. Letter
scales are not a convenience which
every person has at bis or her elbow,
and to test tho matter at the postoffice
involves considerable trouble. To
adopt the ounce standard for single let
ters will not impair the postal revenues
greatly, while it will save people much
bothar aod rexauoo.
—One of the saddest of recent deaths
waa that of Charles Pelmonico, of
Xew York, who perished from hunger
and exposure in the Orange Mountains
of New Jersey, within two hours' ride
of his famous establishment where
scores of his servants even were sur
rounded with the necessities and many
of the luxuries of life. Disastrous
stock speculation unbalanced his mind.
Not overwork, but over-worry hound
ed him to death. Men determined to
get rich in a rush run many risks.
