man in an orchestra chair of his male com
panion as the curtain rolled up for the first
act. "Oh, I don't know," was the reply;
"the Iramework is probably wire and it is
covered with a good quality of red plush.
These bows of ribbon are of good quality
and the ostrich plumes are extra tall. I
presume it must have cost somebody about
sl2 or sls. Hello," he exclaimed as he
craned bis neck to look past the hat, "the
play is on!" — Ex.
—The State College in Centre county, in

—lf feet or hands are frost bitten keep
away from the fire, but thaw them out in
a moderately warm room, by applying
snow or very cold water. When the fro»t
is entirely out, soak for an boar in water
as hot as can be borne, containing all the
powdered alum that it will dissolve. This
will draw the blood to the surface and re
establish circulation, acd there will not
he chilblains or soreness. The hot water
and alum bath is also the best cure for the
soreness and swelling that follows frost
bites not properly treated.
—ln this column last week there appear
ed an item recommending black pepsin in
butter making, but one of our local drug
gists tells us that it is a fraud and has been
so denounced by the druggist's journals.
Black-pepsin is a preparation controlled by
a New York firm which secured a notice in
oue of the religious journals, and that no
tice has gone over the country as news. It
stands to reason that you cannot get more
butter out of a churning of cream than is
in it.
—A number of citizens of a neighboring

tric light plaut, if it can bo satisfactorily
shown to result in a saving of expendi
ture*
2. What are your views on the present
waier supply of the city, as to quantity,
quality aud price?
Tho same questions are applicable here.

Armory Opera House.
Punch Robertson.
A week of good Repertoir at the Armory
Opera House, commencing Monday, Jan.
30 th.
Punch Robertson and his clever com
pany presented the strong drama, "The
Vagabond," to an audience which notonly
filled every seat in Sherwood's Opera
House on both floors, bat which was limit
ed only by the crowding room of the the
atre. As an opening n ; ght it was a splend
id success, for no larger audience has ever
greeted an actor in this city, no matter
who he may have been. It was a well
merited tribute to Robertson aud his lead
ing lady, Olga Von Bronse, for they have
justly earned the good will and esteem of
the theatre going public by never giving
a poor performance.
The piece which was excellently pnt on,
teems with strong situations and «"eil made
lines, and as "Jerry," the bum Robertson
played withh los* of self which brought
him round after round of applause, for bis
work in the part is unapproachable and
flawless.
Prices: 10, 20, and HOcts.

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.

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

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.
