SEANOR. —ln New Zeland one is liable to a fine of a hundred dollars for killing a cat, because cats kill rabbits, and rab bits are so numerous there that they are a scourge. In this country ' 'poor puss" is also highly prized for her rat and mouse catching proclivities, and as a rnle she is a gentle bird, but when some five-thousand of her holds a mid night concert in your back-yard all love vanishes. Two dozen bodies have been recover ed from the debrise of the wrecked and burned Hove'er and Cold Storage build ing in Pittsburg, and several men are missing The spectators crowded too near the fire. When the ammonia cyl inders iu the artificial ice-plant explod ed they flew through the air and one cut off a large telegraph pole three squares away. —Campbell & Teinpleton, the fnrni ture men, have a horse a great deal more regular and reliable in his habits than most men. When he is unhitched at noon he walks from the alley in the rear of the store to the stable on Qnarry street, which is natural enough as he knows his feed is awaiting him there. But after dinner when turned loose, he walks three squares back to his wagon and waits till some one comes to Litch him up. —Saturday last was Lincoln's Birth day now a legal holiday by Act of the last Legislature of the state. If this nation ever produced a man whose birthday ought to be celebrated, that man was Abraham Lincoln, but at the same time we must go slow in making legal holidays or else in the course of time we will find ourselves in the con dition of the people of some of the Southern oonntries where they have three-hundred and eighty-five holidays every year. How would it do to com bine the Washington and Lincoln holi days and name it aftet both of them.

Trteaday was a bad day for an election ! —mnd underfoot and rain and snow , overhead —i.nd yet a large vote wa* : polled—B7ss -on the Poor House qnes j tion. And the closeness of the vote clearly indicates the conflict of opinion . and interest taken in the matter. The Commissioners' office was crowd- ! j ed, yesterday afternoon, with people I from all over the conntv, and towards | the latter part of the afternoon, when the vote was comparatively close, with but a precinct or two to hear from the situation was decidedly interestining. but as soon as the result was announced ' the crowd scattered. In the local elections in Butler mixed or compromise tickets were elected, and in Pittsburg and Philadelphia the regu lar Republican organizations were suc cessful, and now that local affairs are settled county and state politics will come to the front.

Speaking of freak wells, an oil man said recently to the Bradford Era that be was reminded of the old "midnight 1 mystery" of Butler county. That well was drilled 22 years ago and started flowing light-colored oil at the rate of - 400 barrels a day. Everybody thought the well had opened a new pool, and in - a few days the drill was industriously bobbing on all sides of the new find. Over fifty wells were drilled, forming ' a complete chain around the ' nidnight mystery." but not one of them found the lead. The old well is still produc ing about one barrel per day. The oil is almost equal to the refined product and readily burns in a lamp. ACCIDENTS. Alex Stewart Esq., of Prospect, late ly had a thumb smashed in his corn ; sheller. Jos.

FRIDAY FEB. 18TH 98 PATENT AP , PLIED FOR. 1 There are many realistic plays be fore the American public, but none ' that can offer even a passing compar ison to the great culmination of dra matic art, "Patent Applied Eor," which will be presented at The Park Theater on t riday evening, Much honor is due to the gifted young au thor, Elmer E. Vance, for this latest triumph, but equal honor is due his talented star, Beatrice, whose unequal ed dramatic ability has made its pre sentation possible. The story is com plicated, yet so charmingly told, as to be exceedingly simple. An old inven- j tor. after years of herculean effort and | countless privations, and after passing ] ■ through alternate periods of dpspair and hope, finally makes the dream of 1 his life an accomplished fact — " he completes and applies for letters patent for a Horseless Carriage, an invention destined to revolutionize modern methods of trav -1 el. A meeting is held to demonstrate the successfully workings of his inven s t ion, and at its close, the old man. overpowered by joy at the successful 1 conclusion of his life's work, falls dead. The patent papers are stolen by 7 the owner of the works in which the old man toiled, and who endeavors to n fasten the crime of the foreman, who is the lover of the inventor's daughter. 1 The scenic and mechanical effects are entirely new and are unequalled by any I drama on the road. The play abounds in thrilling situations, most ingeniously Q connected and calculated to command the eager attention of an audience from - start to finish. Undoubtedly the great est sceiib ii) tic play takes place in the third act, when a handsome stream is seen in the throes of an awful storm. U There is not a slow moment in the play and everything is new, satrtling n and realastic. WEDNESDAY FEB. 23 1898, 8 BELLS. II There are at least a dozen laughs to tl the minnte in "Eight Bells" as given by Brothers B}rne. which will be present ed at the Park Theatre, Feb., 23. The brothers are acrobats of considerable skill and pantomimists of unlimited r«- cources. The suprise in the way of un I expected disappearances, somersaults ? into third story windows, vaulting over y- walls and through walls where there is •s apparently no opening, ar,d enumerable r other tricks of the nimble performers keep the audience wondering and laugh ing without cessation. Nothing could * possible be funnier than the horse and '' carriage in which the lovers were to I I elope, which iii jnade the means of some >' surprising acrobatic fuats a This scene terminates by the oouiplete s revolution of the ship, the passengers p turning over with it. Besides the Byrne Brotheis there are several other excellent members of the company who introduce taking special - ities. LADIE S SYMPHONY CONCERT MARCH 4.
