At the morning and afternoon sessions of the House, Thursday, tome small appro priation bills were passed, also a bill regarding wrecking railroad trains, and at the night session the Municipal bills were discuraed, then so many members asked for leave of abeeace, that the House ad joured till Monday at 4 p. m. In the Senate, that day,the Compulsory Education bill was reported favorably, also a bill regarding the school appropriations, and increasing them with increase in popu lation. Ins. Comm'r Poster resigned,and Deputy Comm'r Luper waa appointed in his stead by GOT. Pattison. An effort to place Seanor's Anti-discrimination bill on the calendarjor this week was defeated in the House. The Congressional Apportionment bill was reierred to a sub-committee con sisting of Messrs Lytle, Baker,and Sumner, Reps, and Ritter and Skinner, Dome. On Monday, Mr. Seanor of the House nraeeatod. A resolution, making his Anti-Discrimination bill a special order for Wednesday evening, and Mr. Skinner offered an amendment providing for a final vote on Thursday; both carried. The Sunday laws of 1794 were again under fire that day, in the House, and in the Senate there was a flurry over the Ballot Refrom and Constitutional Convention bills. Senator Show alter has introduced a bill, making aa appropriation of 915,000 for the erection of a Home for 'raining deaf chil dren in speech, before they are of school age. Gov. Pattison has appointed Fx-Chiet Justice Daniel Agnew,of Bearer: ex-Sen tor Charles R. Buckalew, of Bleomsburg, and Ovid F. John ion, of Philadelphia, under, the act providing ior the creation of a com mission to aecnre uniformity of legislation throughout the different States upon marriage, divoroe, insolvency, probate of wills, notarial acknowledgment* and such other subjects as may suggest themselves to the commission. On Tuesday the argument* on the new Tax Bill were continued before ihe Senate Finance Committee. Several members ot the Pittsburg Chamber-of-Commsrce spoke against it, —Mr. G. L. Oliver making a lengthy speech. It was thought that the Committee would report the bill negatively and re commend Treaa. Boyers bill whioh puts a 4-mill tax on the actual value of corpora tion property. Hep. Williams of this county offered a resolution for an amendment to the National Constitution so as to provide for the elec tion of U. S. Senators by the vote of the people of the States. It was read bat objected to as being out or order, and will be renewed to day. The Road bill, with the House amend ments passed the Senate, finally, Tuesday. In the House an attempt was made that day, to reoall the bill from the Senate, but while the motion was being discussed, the Benate passed the bill, and a messenger so informed the House. On Wednesday the Anti-discrimination bill was filibustered out of the place pro vided for it, and at the close of the session of the House that night it was considered dead. Oaring the day the House paised soinn appropriation bills. The Senate wan in an uproar that day over some details of Roliinson's Constitutional convention bill, and Wherry's bill may be substituted for it.

I have been a member of tbe Methodist meetin' house for nigh onto forty year an was a deacon before i cum here, and took up the tin too, but i never hearn of sich work before an my son Jerry that's been away to college sed he never heard of sich a thing neither. It happened sum thin' like this: The parson what we had had to leave for his health, it 'pears be left it sumwhere, and the presiding elder sent us a parson to fill his place till they'd have a meeting. Well this man it 'pears is a fielder and don't belong to the conference. So we got up a petition an sent to the elder requesting him not to forward this ■an, that we would not support him nor let him into the house neither.

The concert given by the Choral Union last night was a decided sncoess and the students esteem their teacher, Miss Eva Coulter, so highly that they presented her with a chair. Rev. Breaden made the presentation speech. EUREKA. A BOTH U ANSWER TO IIAY SEED. One would almost think after reading the artioles of Hay Seed that the mantle of Joeh Billings had fallen on his shoulders but it does not take a very critical exami nation to dispel that opinion. Josh Bil lings' wit did not depend on his peouliar spelling for he was a humorist in spite of it. Of course "Hay Beed" has a grievance; fellows of his sort always have when they rash into print, but the real trouble is that his stock of talk is too large for his intel lectuals. His mind is already trained down too fine, and if ho does not allow himself some relaxation we who know him best fear the worst. He is also afflictod with two incurable complaints—Pessimism and Egotism—but with a spring diet of sour dook and dandelion he may yet see that Snnbury i( not half a bad place, and his uncalled for slurs with at least, a part of the contempt with which they are held by our people generally. In addition take care of your brains (T) and swear off writ ing and talking about things you know nothing about. Don't pose as a reformer, as it is not in the nature of a Mugwump to be one; read something light; study the speeches of Jeremiah Sockless Simpson, then take a rest during the heated term, but do not inflict any more such stuff on a long suffering publio.

A lot of Italian emigrants numbering about one hundred arrived in Pittsburg last Thursday, and as they went up Smitbfield street the women carried huge packs on their heads and marched along with their arms folded on their breasts. They at tracted a great deal of*attention, and were followed by a gang of street Arabs. Near Mostoller's station, Somerset Co, there is a sugar tree standing in the camb of Albert Wright that is marvel in itself. It has been a query for a number of years by those who have gathered its water how much it has produced in a season, and this spring they resolved to test the matter by actual measurment. The tree meaures 744 inches in circumference about 18 inches from the ground. Two keelers were set, with two wooden spiles each. During tke season the water was carefully measured and registered, and at the close the ran it has for.itiiat the tree had produced 129$ gallons of water. A strangei dropped in at a certain farm er's home a few days ago and offered to contract to paint his barn for five dollars. The farmer was pleased with the offer, and in return offered to paint the stranger's nose and eyes for nothing. They didn't deal. Some farmers read the papers and are fa miliar with the scheme of swindlers. Wm. D. Craig, a well known grocer of New Castle, has disappeared, leaving his wife and family in distress.

"People may laugh as they please about the old-time Connecticut nutmeg Joke," said a prominent spice importer, t "but there are several interesting points about this somewhat maligned though thoroughly spicy little nut of which the majority of people are ignorant Have , you ever noticed that most nutmegs —for I suppose you have occasionally I grated them yourself into a glass of punch or toddy, even if you have never see* them in your kitchen —are covered with a thin white coating, or, at least, that the numerous crevices are filled with a light-colored substance? Most people think that to be a natural condi tion of the nutmeg, but it is not. The substance is lime, and the reason for its being placed on the nutmeg is a rather curious one. Many years ago the practice of liming nutmegs origi nated among the Dutch colonial mer chants of the East Indies. They broke the shells and then immersed the kernels or seed In the milk of lime, often keep ing them there for a period of three months. The object of this treatment was to prevent the seed from sprouting out during transportation to the European markets, as you have often seen potataes do late In the spring. "This necessitated a second drying, and most experts now claim that liming spoils the nut from a hygienic and chemical point of view, and by degrees shippers are learning that the process is really unnecessary. In many sec tions of the world, though, the preju dice in favor of liming is so strong that the 'penang.' which is considered the best variety of nutmeg grown, will not command anything like the price it deserves unless the white lime coatr leg is present. European merchants, however, have learned to take this variety of nutmeg in its natural brown condition. , The Chinese also prefer them unlimed, while the American buyers usually like them in their old fashioned way. "Occasionally unscrupulous eastern shippers will adulterate good nuts with those quite as worthless as the proverbial wooden ones of colonial days In iNew England," continued the merchant. "I mean by mixing in with the good ones nutmegs from which the oil has been extracted, as there is a process by which a valuable volatile oil can be taken without destroying the nut. The flavor of the nut is in this oil; hence, without tho latter the nut is almost worthless. These nuts may be detected by their lightness in weight when compared with tho gen uine article, and a close examination with a magnifying glass will show that the surface of the nut, robbed of Its oil, i 3 covered with minuto holes." — Washington Tost Notice.
