raised to that leyel, those of the Fort
Wayne spanning Liberty street and also
Penn avenue on trestle work. The
building is to be five stories high The
Broad street station in Philadelphia,
one of the finest buildings in the world

the old one taken down at the same
time with no suspension of travel, but
in that case there was no change made
in the level of the tracks. Here there is
a change of 14 and 15 feet, and if the
engineers undertake to do the same
thing it will be interesting to see how
they manage the job.

triumph. At every performance the
house was crowded, the majority of the
audience being composed largely of la
dies and children, and clearly demon
strated that the Avenue had come to
stay, and will take rank as one of the
leading Variety Theatres of the United

fidence the public has in the manage
ment of this House to see it become a
success right from the iunitial week.

bill headed by Laura Almosnina and
Wm. Whitcarina one act play of Alex

ing crowded at every performance.

! NEIGHBORHOOD NOTES.
The first ten miles of track for the
Allegheny A: Westernroadat its < astern
terminus has l>een laid and a half mile
daily is the rate it i< being put down
now. The road is being constructed of
the finest material and will IK- one < f
the finest specimens of rail-way in the
country. The iron work 011 the bridge
at Mosgrove will cost slso,'Mi. The
report that the Pennsylvania Railroad
has bought this connection h is been de
nied. When it gets through and taps
the Pnnxsutawney coal fields it will
\ prove a serious blow on the Low Grade
ro id, and a good many people are l«>ok
mg for the long talked of branch from
j Red Bank to New Castle to be the re
' suit of the poaching of the Alleghenny
& Western. —Eart Brady Review.
A New Castle dispatch says that for
| six months Thomas Paden, a leading
: citizen of Moravia, has been under the
! impression that a tumor wf,s growing
iu his throat and that he was slowly
dying. He could eat nothing but thin
corn starch and liquids Sunday dur
ing a violent fit of coughing he coughed
up a big plum seed and shortly after
was able to eat a hearty meal.
An interesting discovery was made
in Clearfield county lately. The petri-!
tied body of a large Indian was tound 1
in the most perfect condition.
The discovery was made by the work- i
men who are building a road from i
Clearfield Bridge to Belsena. As tliei
men were making a cut through a j
rocky hill they unearthed the perfect
body of the Indian at a depth of seven
feet from the surface. The body is a
perfect specimen in eveiy respect, the
features being clean-cut and lifelike,
except for color, and the entire speci
men resembling a statute chiseled by a
master hand. The arms of the Indian
are folded. Ten men were required to
remove the petrified body trom its rest
ing-place.
Contractor McGoven contemplates
presenting the interesting discovery to
the Smithsonian Institution at Wash
