Mrr Air* A. Copeland. of Forest county, died a few days ago from a singular car.-e A boat a week before her death she was bitten on the thumb by a dry. causing an ugly wound which became very painful. Medical aid »M summoned, but little re lief could be afforded the sufferer. BUkhl p is >n n set it. and the entire arm b -cam g. rally swollen, Her •million grew rap idly worse and more painful until death came to her relief. A celery farm 0f27 acres at Greentown.near Akron, cleared #40,000 in five years for its o»ner.- The Beacon says that sever* hundred acres of swamp land in that vicin ity will be utilized for growing celeri the coming season and prodace enough to .»up ply the markets of northern Ohio at much less cost than at present. There are 26 applicants for licence in Xew Kensington. Tbere are 97 applicants for license at the coming court in Etk county, of whom 19 are from the borough of Kidgway and 13 from the borough of Johnsonburg. A Mercer County woman was preparing to do aoine washing last Monday and had set out a vessel containing some washing fluid. Stepping out of the bouse for a moment the children, two little tellons a<-d lour and three years in some way got hold of the vessel and each drank some of the fluid. Medical aid was at once sum moned and the children were cared for. They are reported out of danger, but it was a close call. There was a peculiarity at Biack Kivar Falls recently in the funerai line. Three different families met at the Lutheran church at the same hour, each witb a dead relative and none of the families re lated. One sermon was preached for them all. and then the procession was formed witb the hearses, mourners and friends lol lowing indiscriiniuately. It was the first experience in the city of a union luneral. The Western penitentiary closed the year with 911 prisoners, the largest num ber ever eurolled on the books of the in stitution. Last year was cominenced with 827 prisoners. During the year 372 were received and 288 discharged. In'.he pris on are thirteen who are serving life senten ces, four of whom are from Allegheny couu ty- "Curley" Wandless, the Mcadvitle thief who recently escaped jail at that place, resorted to an effectual disguise to accom plish his undertaking. Ho was no*, confin ed in a cell, but was given th» run of the jail. Carrying ont his reputa tion lor coolness and daring, he removed his "alse set of teeth, thus changing his looks and his voice at the same tim«. Be next secured an overcoat from one of the prisoners, and a !ur cap from another, tied a napkin around his neck lor a scarf, and in this garb boldly walked out with a crowd of visitors when they left. His ap pearance was so totally unlike himself thai the turnkey failed to recognize him. Wandli-ss has a faculty lor disguising him self, shown by the fact that he walked with the crowd across the Diamond to the corner of Chestnut street, they supposing him to be another visitor. At a fire in the S. S. Pittsburg, last Sun day a woman tried to rescue a child from the burning building, aud both perished in the flames. The Keystone Hotel at Franklin was hurned last Sun Jay. Tho sheep claims filed in Mercer connty during the years 1890, 1891 and 1892, amounted to .*12,147 65, making an average of a little over $4,000-a year. The dog tai levied each yoar is about $3,600 annually and after deducting the exonerations there is a great shortage each year—so much so, indeed, that the payments ate now three years behind tho work of the sheep-killing dogs. A good many "hitching parties" have been taking place ont'in Germantown, Pa., since the snow fell. Tho practice is to gel a horse, sometimes two, and hitch behind thum a string of sleds. Then to the ac coinpaniiuent of bells and discordant horn* they ride all over town. Eacti sled carries a young man and maiden. Often they put the horse to bis paces, and then suddenly turn a corner. Those who are upset pay for an oyster supper for the rest. A sad scene wax witnessed near Kittau ning la>t Saturday. A child in the lainih of some country folks died of scarlet fever and to the faneral the neighbors came for miles around in sleds and sleighs. Others in the family were ill, onu, a little si»ter of the dead girl having scarlet fever also. Just as the funeral procession *»s about to start, the doctor announced that the other child could not live and they determined to delay the cortege and make it a double funeral. Two hours were spent but still the child lived and the idea was abandon ed, the dead child beingcousigned to earth. The case was hopeless, however and the family has been again saddened by the en trance of the angel of death to claim the otber child. At a recent meeting of the Borough Council in Troy, Bradford county, it was decided to purchase several fine springs and ground upon which to build a reser voir on the premises ot Mrs. Jane I.ainp man, for the sum of S6OO. The springs bad been tested and tound to yield an abundant supply of water for tbe borough. Officials of the Austrian Government have requested the police department of Pittsburg to suppress a paper published there in the Austrian Language, I>r criti cisiug Austrian officials. The Insurance companies of New Castle intend suing the Water company, there for some late loi-ses by fire, on account of Un plugs being choked. The Carbon Steel Co. of Pittsburg has been awarded the contract f"r the steel l"r the new war ships Brooklyn and lowa which are to be built by "the Cramps ol Philadelphia, at a cost ol about Unee mil lions each.
