"It isn't a baby of that kind doctor," replied the anxious but entirely self possessed mother. —lt is expected that Jas. A. Chambers, of Pittsburg will make an assignment this week, and as he is one of the largest stock holders in the Plate Glass works here, bis failure may complicate the affairs of that conoern.

L. llovis is laying the new 3 inch line at 18 cts. a foot. —The bi-carbonate department ol the Salt MTg Co's works at Natrona was destroyed by fire early last Sunday morn ing. The building burned was known as the "stone-building" a two story structure about 200 feet long, and was considered fire proff. It was fitted with steam pumps and fire apparatus, but the boilers bad been blown out to make some repairs, and consequently the pumps could not be nsed. The loss is stated by one paper to be SIOO,OOO, and by another $1,000,000, covered by insurance. The fire threw a couple of hundred men out of employment. The capital stock of this Co. is $2,000,000, and it is the largest Chemical plant in the country. The cryolite from which soda and aluminum are produced. Is | brought from Greenland, the only place 'where deposits of it exist. The company has an exclusive right on this line of manu facture. The pyrites, from which sulphuric acid is produced, is brought from Spain Copper, silver and gold are extracted from the materials used in the various processes. —As mosquitoes are unusually numerous this year, some facts regarding them may not be out of place. In the first place it is only the female mosquito ♦,hat annoys us, the male behaves himself, and sucks grass and leaves for a living, but the female is devilish (as usual) and wants blood. During the day she sleeps and lays ber eggs on the surface of any stagnant water, but when the shades of evening come ou she starts out, makes trouble for her betters, and occasionally gets mashed on a man. The little boat or raft of eggs that she builds on the water, looks like a speck of soot, but if yon look sharp you will sec the difference, and if yon take one up you can scatter the eggs over the end of your finger with the point of a needle. The gun hatches the eggs,and the little skippers live in the water, heads down, they breath through their tails, and by and by a white sack forms around tbem, and they float to the top, and the sun breaks the sack, and the full fledged mosquito flies off —unless the water happens to be disturbed at the critical moment, in which case the young mosquito drowns. In some parts of the world mosquitoes are so large and so numerous, that they have been known to stirfg people to death, and in other parts they are used to inoculate for yellow fever, just as we inoculate hero for small-pox. Ordinary soap, ammonia, and other things help to relieve the irritation caused by the sting of the mosquito, and a solution of one part of ammonium sulphate to five parts of water, will make mosquito netting noc-in flammable. Bricks Without Burning. When a fellow goes -where he is not wanted and gets kicked out, goes back again aud gets kicked out again, and yet continues to return, it is fair to presume that he continues to get kicked—and that is about the state of affairs in regard to the paving brick sent here by the firm of Smith, Porter & Co., of West Virginia. The lirst carload of these brick, that came here for East Jefferson St., seemed to be all right, but our Council soon dis covered that a very inferior quality of brick wa- being put into the street, and condemned them. This led to a lengthy discussion in the Council room, and to an agreement between the Council on the one side, and Long <fc Doyle, with Smith, Por ter <t Co., as snreties, on the other, that the Council would allow that street to be finished with the condemned brick, provid ed the parties of the second part put op a good bond in $5,000, g-iaranteeing again.-t the action of frost, etc., for five years. That bond was prepared by the Borongh Solicitor,and at the instance Mr. Porter, an other bond for SIO,OOO was made out em bracing the threo streets contracted for by Long <fc Doyle. The second bond alone was returned, and as the Council had not au thorized it, it was rejected; but in the meantime Smith, Porter <i* Co.'s brick kept hopping on the cars at the works, and the car> danced along merrily to Butler, and now there are fifteen ol them standing at the depot here. At the meeting of Council Tuesday even ing Mr. Porter of the brick firm, appeared with Col. Thompson as counsel, aud the Col. made a speech complimenting the Council on the work done on the streets and hoping for an adjustment of this mat ter. Mr. Porter also spoke, and went over his misunderstanding of the bond matter, his method of testing brick, etc. Eng. McQuistion stated the results of some further tests of brick as follows — the half of one of the sample bricks furnished by Long <fc Doyle absorbed but one-half oz. of water in two hours, while tho half of a brick taken from tho pile on the street absorbed 5 3-4 oz. in the same time. Messrs. Perrine and Harper of the Coun cil had also been experimenting with brick from *Vellsville. 0., and Smith, Porter i Co.'s., and while t:.e Ohio brick had ab sorbed but one oz. the S., P. <fc Co. brick had absorbed six ozs. in same time. Mr. Forqner went over the whole case, clearly and forcibly, and the former action of the"Council was* sustained, which means that the Council will not accept East Jef ferson St. without the bond, and that they will not allow S., P. <t Co.'s brick to go on West Jefferson St. or Centre Ave. The trouble with Messrs. Daubenspeck and Pollock as to the 15 inch sewer has been arranged; the new hose was given to the First Ward Co; several petitions for board-walks were referred to the commit tee and bids will be taken for walk on East Cunningham St. and the owners of the Heiner lot on North Main St. will be noti fied; a substantial bridge will be built over the school house alley and the alley barri caded; Mr. Osborne was voted $*2,000, on account; the nuisance from Duffy's livery stables will be abated in 48 hours or the High Constable will do it; bills aggregat ing several hundred dollars were Approved, the largest being to Jos. W. Graham $264 for the Centre Ave. culvert; and the Coun cil adjourned till next Tuesday evening. Personal. Co. Comm'r.

The flames of the burning well at Mc- Donald were extinguished last Thursday by the use of a piece of easing which was contracted at one end until it would slip a short distance into the top of the casing in the well. This was screwed into the lower end of a "T," a conductor into the side of it, anl another shoit piece, called a nipple, on the upper end of it. On the last a gate, or throttle, vas screwed, and thsn all was in readiness. At the proper moment it was placed right over the well dopped into the top of the casing and some railroad iron piled on it to hold it there. This done the gate at the top of the con trivance, which up to that momenet hail been left open to give free vent to the flow was closed and the fire effectually cut off, or, rather its fuel was cut off and it died out. The fit of the joint thus made is so perfect that no oil at all escapes through itjis though the production of the well is 70 barrels an hour. Tait A Co's Xo. 2 on the Allen heirs reached the sand Wednesday aud began flowing. It is thought she will make a 75 bbls. well. During the month of August 44 wells were completed in this county, 8 of which were dry, and the production of the balance is put at 1,593. Seventy-seven wells are drilling and 35 rigs are up. Philips is starting a well on the .widow Snyder farm near the lamp-black factory, and he is also drilling on the Kuittle atid Mosier farms. "The Century's" Life of Columbus.
