' boats moved out whose combined tows,
through to Louisville, aggregated 2,-
190,000 bushels of ooal.
—ln one oolumn of a New York pa.
pier, the other day, was an aoconnt of a
dinner at a hotel which sought the fame
of being the most expensive of its class.
It was the first dinner at which the
gold service of that hostelry was used
"exclusively." Thirty-six people .sat
down at a cost of $50,000, or about sl,-
400 per plate. In another column of
the same paper was a statement by
, Robert Hunter of the university settle
ment work. He says that there are over
800,000 people in New York who are
in distress, and that 70.000 children go
to school hungry every day. One-tenth

per's graves.
—lt is easy to see stars these days -
untold numbers of them are lying on
the ground—every square inch of snow
contains thousands of 'em. An Alle
gheny county genius lately counted the
stars in a cubio inch of snow and then
made an estimate of the number of
inches that bad fallen in that county
lately, but the figures were so numerous
that we haveu't room for them in this
column. He mi K ht continue his inter
acting work by making an estimate of
the sands of the seashore—the white
■and has large grains, easily oounted—
and follow that up by securing the use
of a powerful telescope, and counting
the fixed stars in a square foot of the
dome of the heavens, and making an es
timate of the whole number. Then he
conld come back to earth and with the
aid of a microscope count the bacteria
In a square inch of almost any old
thing, and make a general estimate.
He would not know any more when he
got through than he does now, but he
would keep himself out of the hands of
Satan.

smiths in a local machine shop, one
man having his eyes almost gouged out

—At a meeting of citizens of Butler.
Tuesday evening, to consider the pro
posed change ia the grade of the "Bes
sie," west of fown, a committee was ap
pointed to confer with the railroad peo

she had entered a sleigh.
--The McKay carriage works at
Grove City were destroyed by fire,
Tuesday evening. The fire started
from a spark in the blacksmithing de
partment and spread rapidly. The
wind carried the flames towards the
surrounding buildings and for a tiuie
it looked as though the whole block

ment kept it confined to the one build
ing. The Butler and Greenville depart
ments were held in readiness to start

hired a man with a guu to guard them;
the young fellow "got it in the neck";

now after the rest of the gang. The

The wool of this breed of eheep contin
