Wide Awake, 1888.
We have a primer entitled "A Modern
Wonder'' which Nets forth wiih singular full
ness and brevity what is going to be IU I Vidf
Awake for a year ahead.
The primer is not very long. The little
pages are easy to read. But, it holds such
wealth of learning and entertainment, you
wnder how so much can be got into a dozen
months; and yet you read on the title pace
thai the half is not told.
It is a wouder! Wi/le Air il-r is a veritable
library, changing from month to month and
fjom year lo year, and always growing bi Iter
apparently.
liut what w® can't understand is how they
can put so much money into it aud pay so
much forgetting subscribers.
The Holiday number coutuins the Premium
List of .'{2 pages. They give a boy or girl
who gets subscribers almost as much in bis
choice of two or three hundreu things as the
money he sends amounts to! Ami the things
ate such ias people want; a good many of
them new to mwt ot us. Eveu the Premium
List is good reading.
Where the profit comes from out of $2.10 a
year is what we can't make out; but that is
none of our business.

The large tannery of the Acme
Tauuing Company, at Acmetonia
station, 15 miles from Allegheny on
the West Penn Railroad, was totally
destroyed by fire last Sunday. It
is estimated that the the loss will
reach $90,000. The new, but small,
town was only saved from destruc
tion by the heroic efforts of the resi
dants." Almost every one worked
like a beaver to extinguish the fire,
and several men were injured, while
others narrowly escaped with their
lives.
The tannery was a three story
brick building, 250 feet long and 80
feet wide, situated between the rail
road and the river. It was operated
by a stock company, the majority of
the stock being held by A. Guckea
heimer & Bro , the distillers.
—The Bedford Gazette says that a
couple of fair looking females, who
can talk as plausibly as a lightning
rod agent, are victimizing ladies in
that part of the State Lest they
swoop down on this vicinity, we give
their plan of operations. They sell
a marvelous preparation which will
not only remove taa and freckles but ]
also transform a "fat and forty" fe
male into a peach bloom maiden of
twenty. Tne fraud works like a
charm. No less than sixteen twid
dle-aged dames in Titusville wanted
to have their youth restored and
gave $lO a bottle for the elixir of
beauty. The victims are still as old
as they were, both in appearance and
years, but their fund of experience
has been greatly enlarged
—A good j 'ke i 3 told on a certain
young married man of Etna A fel
low workman in the tuba wurks a*-k
--ed him wnat the sex of his three
weeks old baby was. The young
father could not tell positively but
thought it was a girl. A bet of a
keg of beer was made as to the sex of
the child. The father lost the bet,
for upon returning to work next day
he announced that his beloved off
spring was a boy.
—Hon. Norman Hall of Sharon,
left for Washington, last week.
—About two weeks ago three Boston
gentlemen visited Warren for the
purpose of building a large tannery,
providing the citizeus would make it
an object Their proposition to
come here if the citizeus would give
the laud and hemlock lumber to build,
was accepted by the citizens, yet the
Boston men so far have failed to ac
cept the offer. These same gentle
men went to Port Allegheny. The
citizeus of that place donated fifteen
acres of laud and over $2,000 worth
of hemlock lumber to accept the prop
osition of the-Bostou firm. The same
trick was played there and the citi
zens had their hard work for uaugt|t.
Tne tannery men theu went to Glean
aDd bo far as can be learn
ed went through the same operation.
What their object is cannot be under
stood.— Ledger.
—A despatch from New Castle,
dated last Saturday, said, Early in
the week it looked as if diphtheria
was decreasing here, but now it is
worse than eycr. The origin of the
disease here is said to come from the
Italiaus on George street, whose fil
thy methods have been written of be
fore. When their children die it i»
said candy is thrown over the corpse
aud then thrown after tha departing
hearse. This was done in the case
of an Italian child which died of diph
theria last summer und the caudy
was picked off the street and eateu
by neighboring children, thus caus
ing the spread of the eisease. Com
plaint was made at the mayor's office
tuday by several ladies of the filthy
condition of the Italian quarter
The heal'.h officer visited the place
aud found it wursu than had been
told. In one room fourteen persons
were living The yard in front of
the house was almost a solid mass of
disgusting filth. Measures will be
at once tukeu to have the place clear
ed up.
—A Franklin, Pa , paper is credi
tably informed that Henry 0. Beattv
-of Venango Co , while recently dig

at a depth of between four und five
feet below hard-pan, found a silver
plate on which there are characters
of some kind of language denotingfso
the scholar who has seen it says)that
its date is about 500 years before
Christ. Mr. Beatty, so our infor
mant says, has beeu ottered and re
fused SSOO f' it.
A man uamed William Cooper
was arrested at Parker last Wednes
day, for assaulting Mr. and Mrs Ad
ams of the Parker House on the
bridge. Mrs. Co. per is employed at
the hotel, and jealousy is given as
the cause of the assault.

Our Little Ones and The Nursery
REVIEW AND PROSPECTUS.
Seven years ago a gentleman long actively en
gaged In educational work In Boston, and who
is an ardent lover of children, projected the Il
lustrated magazine "Our LltUe ones" In recog
nition of an existing need.
In the year IBsi the Nursery Magazine which
for lifteen years held the lleld against all com
petitors was purchased and Incorporated with
••our Little Ones" and they have since been pub
lished ns one magazine with the above title.
from the nursery age to that of leaving the
primary school constitutes the truly formative
period of life, in it the mind and disposition
may be moulded, the affections cultivated, and
the tastes developed by attractive and carefully
adapted literature, that Is simple without being
slllv. and pictures artistically equal to those
which grace the best periodicals lor adults.
What the influence of the liest current litera
ture is to men and women "Our little Ones."
wl'h Its pages of expressly prepared and finely
Illust rated articles. Is to children. Kacli fresh
appearance brings new Joy.
The time when anything was thought good
enough for the children Is last, passing. The
fact receives much consideration that these, as
future citizens and members of society, are eu
tltled to taretul guarding ami lovely association
during their tender Impressible years.
Our endeavor will lie to deserve a wide patron
age from all having at heart the education and
welfare of the class for whom our magazine Is
designed. Next to Its prestige In home anu
with mothers. Its utility as a school reader has
been tested and cert tiled by the most competent
teachers.
Superior artists are now busy In Illustrating
the work of a corresponding list of writers of
prose and |K>etry. preprred for the new volume,
which will Include lessons In natural history,
etc.. lessons lu gentleness mul kindness. In
obedtonce, punctuality, amiability—all sunny
lu seniluieut. (with oppressive and repelling
morals omitted).

which the present Is the Initial number, wo so
licit your active support.
