NEIGHBORHOOD NOTES. Owing to the low price of wheat, several ' persons in Berks county who can afford j the outlay of money have put up ware ' houses for the storage ot grain, which they : are buying up at the prevailing price, ex- I peeling an advance liter. Instances have J come to light where farmers have stored i up and have stUl on hand the wheat crops | of '9l, '92 and '93. i A carious incident transpired some time since at Harrisburg, in connection with ! the renewal of the charter of the Indiana i Deposit Bank, of Indiana, in which Judge ! Harry "White is largely interested. Among J the different departments which have to approve the extension of a bank charter is I the auditor general's. When Judge White | presented his application to Auditor Gen eral Gregg, that official caused an examin ation of the records of the department to lie made, and found that the second in stalluient or bonus, which was due almost nineteen years, had nsfer been paid. Be fore General Gregg would approve the ap plication. this amount, with interest for nearly nineteen years—about S4O0 —had to bt iiuiu Uii.o Luc stale Treasury by Judge White. A wonderful spring is said to have been discovered in the mountains about three miles from Conneilsville, I'ayette county. The effect of the water when drank is to make one act as though under the influence of liquor, except that instead of being quarrelsome and in a fighting humor, one feels happy and inclined to laugh, sing and dance. A sportsman found a crowd of hilarious Hungarians about the wonderful spring. They let him drink of the waters, but swore him to secrecy as to its loca tion. Another death from eatihg toadstools in mistake for mushrooms is reported. This time it is W. A. Van Brunt, ticket agent of the P. A X. R. R. at Bel two od. lie was a most excellent young aiau and his death is lamented by a large circle of friends. Albert George, a restaurant keeper of Kittanning, fired his revolver to trighten some young men who were rolling empt/ oyster tubs against the door of his place. One of the shots struck Ralph Crum in the back and he nearlv bled to deatn. James Goss, of Punx*utawney, has a dog that does not expire for acy slight or in sufficient causes. One day about three weeks ago this canine, whose name is Bob, was run over by a locomotive and appar ently killed. He was crushed and broken almost beyond recognition. Life, however was not extinct, for the automatic action of the sensory ganglia commonly called "breathing" was still kept up. But the dog's friends pittied him, and believing that ho conld not live, resolved to put him out of his misery. Two executioners were accordingly appointed, who took Bob to the fair grounds, and shot him full of holes. Th'jn they started home, but they had gone only a short distance when one of them happened to look around, and to their in tense surprise, Bob was jogging along after them. Having used all their car tridges, a club was procured and poor Bob's head was boatenjinto a jelly. He was dead this time, sure. And they left him there alone and went their way. Two days later, however. Bob turned up again, and there was great rejoicing in the house hold. lie is living still and doing well, and it would take a good deal of money to buy that dog.

KLINGLERS. —The central figure of the new novel, "Tanis, the Sang-Digger," by Amelie Hives, is another of those strange, high etrnng and passionate females that the author is so fond of representing as hero ines, and after a reader has followed Tunis through her love adventures, the verdict must be that this low-born and wretched "poor white," this long-limbed, handsome digger of ginseng root, is a creature of intense facination and remarkable charact eristics. Tunis is a big, fresh and lusty young savage of the Virginia moutnains, with the figure of a goddest, which when we first meet her is screened from the breezes and the gaze of man by a single garment. Iler long hair sweeps about her like a veil, and she roams the woods in the wild and vigorous manner of the antelope. She is beloved by a young giant of her own class, a mammoth brute, possessing a splendid physical beauty, and " who exerj cises an almost inresistable spell over her. Her battle against tbo passion and tyranny of this man is the motive ol the story. She knows him for a haertless be trayer of girls, and the one shining quality of her character is her virtue, which sus tains her at all times, which teaches her to despise the character of men liko him. and to demand from a lover deep respect and constancy as well as passion. The big brute that worships her is mentally and morally unable to comprehend this part of Tunis' nature, and wo find them opposed to each other in a most savage and interesting battle. Sam, the reckless lover is bound to gain full control of Tanis without going into any argument over the matter, while Tunis, although on fire with love for him, sees him in all his weakness and wickedness, and knows that if he gets her he will love her for a day and a night and afterward loathe her. And it is only by a wretched scheme on the part of .S'a in that Tanis is driven into marrying him. She becomes a martyr to save the friends that have been kind to her, and at the end she bows to fate and yiolds herself np to Sam, because she is powerless to fight him longer. The story is told in the sharp, aggressive and often dazzling stvle peculiar to Miss Hives. She describes the scenes in which her characters move with her customery poetic facility, and probably the most dramatic dialogue that she has ever written is that which passes between her hero and heroine in this book. A large element of the public will not accept Miss Hives as representative of that which is healthy *nd excellent in litcra ure, but the number is small that will argue against her ability to attract "and hold tho attention by" inventing strong characters and putting them through an absorbing series of emotions aud adven tures. "Tanis, tho Sang-Digger'' will surely bo regarded with interest by the reading public. Town Topics Publishing Company, 21 West 23d street, New York. Cloth, $1.50.
