After a half hour's delay of the play Mr. Day got his pay and the constable went away, whila the anxious audience wondered what kept Kitty so late. Ex. A Letter For You.

His premises were invaded during his ab sence. and when he returned he found a handsome new sleigh and whip in his barn, marked compliments of Shiloh. I" P. Congregation, and on his study table a Morrocco bound Psalter from the same. Such tokens of regard make the heart glad. Our Jim says that St. Valentine's Day is rapidly approaching, and many a love-smitten young lady is expecting a handsome missive from her beau, and vice versa. But young men should not pend their girls ugly ones, for if they do it will ' break the dear girls' hearts ' so badly that they cannot be mended: nor is it prudent for the opposite sex to send their beaux ugly ones. In fact, these characteristically ugly valentines are in nine cases out of ten sent in spite or out of revenge, thinking that the re ceivers will get desperately wild and wish the}' only knew who sent them. It is a mean thing at best to be guilty of doing this, for nothing is gained by it, and the sender himself is frequently in jeopardy for fear he should be found out. Have a little more respect for yourselves and for others, and abandon the idea of so doing if you have enter tained such a thought. Some fellows who may intend to send this or that person one of these "ugly take offs" may regret it if they are found out. OIL NOTES. The producing agencies are paying 90c and 90c today.

Another death occnred along the line ; of the new railroad last Saturday night and was due to the rains of last Friday and Saturday. The name of the man who was killed was Chas. Willis; and two others named Bennet and Wood son were injured. The accident took place at Culmerville • familiarly known as Brimstone Corners. Willis went to Culmerville 'Thursday night to get employment on the con struction of the Butler and Pittsburg road. He was to go to work Monday. He was accompanied by Thomas Fraser the} - made their quarters with Bennett and Woodson, who had constructed a regular dugout against the side of the hill. There was a covering of heavy timbers over it, and on top of these con siderable earth had been placed. A , number of powder cans made the chim ney. Fraser left his companions Friday. On Saturday night the three heaped more earth on the timbers to keep out the rain, and in doing so loosened a ledge of earth almost touching the dug out. About 11:30 this ledge fell, and crashed the structure ipwhich were the three tnen. Woodson was near the en trance, and hearing the rumbling, dash eers caught him and buried him in the fire. Some of the timbers caught Bennett and broke one of his legs and otherwise injured him. The falling of the earth also caught Wood soil and injured him. Benett was released aftfrr a couple of hours of work by othev railroad em ployers. The body of Willis was not re- until 8:30 Sunday morning. His body was much burned but it is supposed that he was instantly killed by being struck by the timbers and the crushing weight of the earth, about three tons of which lay on his body. Free. Free.

Tie J was last seen by the members of hi.-, family after the evening meal about 7 o'clock, and at that hour betrayed no evidences of a disiurl>ed mind or un usual mood. He was apparently in his usual health and was supposed to have walked out. M. A. Hanna. arrived in Pittsburg at 12:«0 o'clock Thursday last, from Cleve land. Mr. Hanna s visit to the city is occasioned by the fact that he was summoned to attend the libel suit brought by Senators Magee and Flints against the Commercial Gazette, Hanna refused to bilk about the Ohio Senatorohip. and said that the rejiort thar he had withdrawn from the race was news to him. He also said that he was unaware of any dissensions in the party in Ohio. A peculiar delegation of tramps pass ed through Sharon the other day. There were 10 in the gang and they po ssessed only lti legs and 17 amis, and one was minus three fingers. Three of them walked on crutches, one had an artificial foot and another carried a peg leg. Two years ago they were in Shar on. and since there last visit two of their company died and another was killed by the cars. They are known as the "armless and legless company." A large gray wolf' over six feet from nose to tail, was trapped in Somerset connty. Its captor received $lO bounty and S3O for its hide. It had killed sev eral sheep. Fire destroyed SIOO,OOO, worth of property on Fifth Ave, Pittsburg, Mon day night. A Venango county farmer started to town with a quantity of eggs. It was about all on the farm that he could spare to sell, and his wife needed a pair of shoes. The weather was so cold that there was a fair chance of the eggs being frozen while in transit, and to avoid this disagreeable possibility the wife suggested a way. She got a half bushel measure, placed a lighted lan tern in the center and around this she packed eggs and bran. The lamp was burning when the farmer started to sell his eggs, but when the first dozen was taken from the bran, it was found that the heat from the lamp had not only kept away the frost, but had bak ed the hen fruit. It looked like a com plete financial loss for a short time but the farmer found ihe keeper of a lioard ing house who was willing to take the cooked eggs at the price of raw ones, and the farmer's wife wore new shoes to church the next Sunday, Dr. John B. Gorrell f respected phy sician of Indian Creek W. Va., who died Sunday night confessed on his death bed that he was the murderer of Alexander Campbell. Eight years ago near Hebron, Mr. Campbell went to Gorrell's home one evening to collect a sum of money. The next morning the house was blown to pieces and Camp bell's body was found in the ruins. Gorrell was suspected at the J;ime, but nothing could be proven. On his death bed Gorrell confessed that after Camp bell retired he (Gorrell) took his family away and then returned and murdered Campbell, afterwards blowing up the house with dynamite to conceal the cri me. A penny false-face caused the death of two-year-old Walter Priest, at Man cy, Pa., last Tuesday. A neighbor's little girl wearing one of these mon strosities rushed into the room where the child was playing. It had been a source of great amusement to her young companions during the day, and with a shriek of childish delight she showed the hideous face to the little boy. The baby, with a cry of fear, sank sobbing into his mother's arms. The little girl tore off her mask, but the baby continu ed to scream, and although physicians were called in the little fellow went into convulsions, which continued during the night and all forenoon next day, when death ended his sufferings. A life-time of regret cannot make #ood the sad effects of thisone moment's thought lessness. James D. McClure, secretary of the Johnstown Y. M. C. A. and agent for the Western' Pennsylvania Humane So ciety, says in his annual rei>ort that "Johnstown is possibly one of the wick edest places on the face of the earth, but right-minded people are trying to bring it back to righteousness." What partic ularly caused the gentleman to make this remark is the large number of sa loons. houses of ill-fame and gambling. Mr. McClure adds: "The hypnotic craze has gained quite a hold on Johns town. I have heard of a case where one boy hypnotized another boy on the street and then became alarmed when he discovered what he had done. So far as can be learned no ill effects have resulted." JOS.
