But after the lir't bissfi" w done, and the House rtadr to adjourn for the Christmas holi day*. there was no further occasion to de lay the announcement, which was made several week* earlier than has been the practice of the lart few Congresses Use result of the Speaker'* labor* i*, as I whole, admired. Of courae there are a few individual member* who are not per fertly satisfied with their own assignments Vet even these are willing to agree that perhaps the men who got the places for which they were contending had the bet ter claim to them. Tbe Pennsylvania members are all well pleased with the assignments made them. X*« less than aeven chairmanships are distributed among thejdelegation from this State.

The shade* of night were falliug down, O'er hill and valley, grove and town; And through the mild and balmy air With perfume ladened rich and rare, Came stealing from tbe distant bill The wild, weird notes of whippoorwill. * Whippoorwill! Whippoorwill! The wild, weird notes of Whippoorwill! I sat beneath a lir tree high. Whose branehe* seemed to Visit tbe sky; Tbe wild wind sans a sad -efraiu, A requiem for my lout Loraine, Whose angei leet now press the shore, Within the bright forevermore. Forevermore! Forevennore! Within the bright forevermore. I wept that I should sit alone, She. who is now berond the sky, fiat ofl with me iu davs gone by, But who, alas! With heart so true, Is far away beyond the blue. Beyond the blue' ISeyond the blue! Is far away beyond the blue. The stars came twinkling, pure and bright, Like gems to deck the robe of night, Their scintillating rays they threw Across the far off vault of blue; Tet there I sat, uiy thoughts a*f my.

The State Treasurer's and Auditor Gen eral's reports for the fiscal year ending November 30th. 1889. have bean completed and placed ia the hands of the public printer for publication. It will be seen from the summary appended that the pay ' ments from the general fund exceeded the receipts by $66,281 76. As the Common wealth happened to have some money on hand at the close of the last fiscal year, there was no deficiency and the bills were \ promptly met. The general fund receipts j were 16.528.956 91 and the expenditures ( were #5 595.238 67, the largest expenses 1 for the general fund account in the history of the State's finances. This is accounted for by the large appropriations by the | Lepi-latnre, including two millions to the i public schools. The sinking fund receipts for the year were $1,936,442 31 and the expenditures were 11,587,608 67.

The very succesful and pleasant Teach ers' Institute of 18M9 closed last Friday afternoon. After the regular program had been concluded, Rev. Ketler, of Grove City, was asked to mheil into tho street for assistance. Tho services of two men were secured and it took tho united efforts of the three to open the bed. A physician was summon ed who found that no bones .were broken, but tho shock Mr. Dinstein received turn his hair white. The following verso was found on a young lawyer'* desk at Hrookville by a gentleman who called at his office and found him absent: Whereas, I know a pretty maid Who divers tracts of land possesses, I'm frank to own the aforesaid Is worthy of iny fond caresses. Therefore resolved, though love bo blind, For her effects I'll straightway sue. In other words the undersigned Is going forth to wit, to woo. The body of Peter I.iven good, who was buried at Johnstown in IKOO, was taken fro.,; the vault last Friday, ivnd is reported to be perfectly petrified —completely turn ed to stone. Such reports are frequent, and if triy would bo indeed wonderful. Although these stories roceive popular credence, scientists contend that animal flesh does not petrify—that its decompoti tion is to rapiu to admit tho silica, which takes the place of the decomposed flesh, to restore the disintegrating particles as fast as they are dissolved. It is at least remarkable that 110 museum has yet been able to secure, nt any cost, an attraction of this kind. Something unique in mortuary matter* occurred recently in McCalmont township Jeffernon county. Solomon Ilimes, an old citizen, who spent most of his time in the woods with dog and gun, became alarmed about two weeks ago ou account of the prevalence of typhoid fever. One of his old neighbors succumbed to the disease, and old Ilimes made up his mind his turn would come next. He accordingly took a mattock and a shovel, selected a spot on his farm which lie thought suitable for his final resting place, and proceeded to dig his grave both wide and deep. Aft.-r this he talked in a nonchalant manner about his obsequies, saying, in his drawling way, that he really would have preferred to live, a while Linger, because, as he expres sed it, "a man has such a gol danged long time to be dead." As liitnes was an exceedingly robust men bis neighbors laughed at his eccen tricities and whispered around that "Sol Ilimes was getting a little out of his head" Hut in the course of a week Ilimes was down with typhoid fever, and when the doctor came lie said: There ain't no use in running up a doctor's bill, when a man kuows he is going to die." and not a mor sel of medicine would he permit to pass his lips. In a few days more he was dead, and his body now rests in the grave he prepared.
