Every Utile whilo we read of some
one who has stuck a ru.ity nail in his
foot, knee or some other portion of
his person and lickjaw resulting
therefrom of which the patient died.
Yet all such wounds, it is said, can be
healed without such fatal conse
quences as often follow them.
Smoke such wounds or anv wound
that is inflamed with burning wool
cloth. Twenty minutes in the
smoke of wool will tako the pain out
of the worst wound and repeated
once or twice will allay the worst
case of inflamatiou arising from a
wound.
Tho Willianisport 7'itien says that
the residents along Boautty's run
are excited by tho discovery of a
wolf in 'hat locality. It has been
seen by several farmers whoso story
ueed not be doubted. Tho raugoof
tho animal is evidently within a
circle of two miles, where tho woods
are dense and the hil'.s are compact
and rough. The unusual appearance
of this species of animal is a surprise
to the oldest inhabitants, who had
almost forgotten the wolf, although
it is not unusual to meet with bears
and wildcats, and occasionally a
panther.
Tho Parliament of.'all Religions at
Chicago has ended. It was one of
the shows, and what good; if any it
accomplished, is not yet in sight.
It may it is expected be the harbin
ger of religious toleration to some
extent iu a social way in Asia and
Africa and Europe, aud suggest to
the leaders of the different Religious
that they should agree not to disagree
and not uniider each other, as has
been the case too long. The word
religion means to biud again, to
uuite these who havo been separated,
to harmonize those who havo been
iu antagonism.
From a newspaper published in
Longeusalza, Germany, tho birth
place of our fellow citizen, Prof. P.
Billhardt, we learn that the Einper.
or of Germany has conferred the or
der of tho "Red Eagle" upon the
Professor's brother. Max Billhardt,
Counsellor of the lt'th Army corps,
for valuable services reudered his
couutry iu his official capacity. The
order thus conferred is rarely be
stowed upon any one without the
necessary amount of so-called blue
blood in his veius, hence we conclude
that the receiver of this honor must
U a man of extraordinary merits.
There was tiuito a rage sometime
ago for perfuming tho skin, an ex
chaego says. Some physicians dis
covered that the hypodermic injec
tion of certain perfumes, such as
white rose, lilac or violet, under the
skiu caused the perfume to bo ex
haled from the whole body and even
from the breath. All the ladies
wanted to be perfumed. The oper
ation had to be repeated about once
a w eek iu order to secure the desired
effect, l'ot unfortunately, two or
three of tho perfumed ones took bad
cases of blood ioioniiig, and cue or
two died. That put a quietus on
the hypodermic injection, of perfume,
aud the whole matter dropped.

Miss Carrie Bachmnn has returned
from Jier eight weeks' trip to Ship
peiisburg. A pleasant littlo wedding took
placo at the residence of Dr .T. B.
'jibighaus on Wednesday of last
week, when his oldest daughter,
MissSallie, was united in marriago
to Harry Bibighaun, of Philadelphia.
Rev. Neff performed tho ceremony
in tho presence of only a few of the
most intimate friends. Tho couple
immediately started on their honey
moon trip to the World's Fair,
Upon their return they will take up
their abode in Philadelphia, their
future home. The bride is an esti
mable young lady of fine accomplish
mcnts and high moral character, and
the groom is one of Philadelphia's
most congenial and successful com
mercial mon.
Rev. W. II. Diven, of Newport,
aged about (. years aud the third
oldest minister iu the Coutral Penn
sylvania Lutheran Synod, was found
guilty of embez.lenieut and false
entries by the Lutheran Synod at its
recent session at Bellefoute and ex
pelled from the ministry. Ho was
troasurer of tho Synod for thirteen
years and investigation showed a
shortaco of over $1, :)M) in last year's
account. He offered to give all that
ho has to make good tho loss, but
his overtures were unavailing. Res
olutions were then passed to make
the otlice of treasurer lust but one
year and make tho treasurer give
bond for the full amount of money
appropriated.
Samuel J. Paulinir. Eso.. a son of
our townsman Lewis E.Pawling, has
become a full rleged Lawyer and his
name was added to the list of attor
neys at tho last term of our court
Mr. Pawling was a student under A.
W. Potter Esq., of this place, and
having completed his course of
study, a committee consisting of
Messrs L Inch, Smith and Bower sub
jected the young gentleman to a
most rigid examination of four hours
duration, which resulted in a most
favorable report by the committed in
recommending his admission to the
bar. The young attorney will start
out in life with bright prospects, he
will fiud pleuty of room at the ton
and not be compelled to eke out a
miserable existauce like many othets
w ho ouly hang by the eyelids iu the

Many individuals iu nrivato lif
would bo happy if their debts were
in such good shape as those of tho
Mate of Pennsylvania. Fiftv
ago, when this State had only oue
third its present population and one
fourth its wealth now, it was loaded
with a debt of forty millions. This
has now been reduced to only $2,.
400,000, and before another year,
over ono and a half millions more
will be paid off. The State Treas
urer will have tho money to do it,
and has given notice to the unv, ill
iug creditors that they must take it.
Beyond this, the State owns $'M00,.
000 in Government bonds and
700,000 in Allegheny Railroad bonds,
so that it is really out of debt, or,
rather has more assets thau liabili
ties. Of course its credit is gilt
edged aud if necessary, the State
could borrow money at very low
rates of interest.

'mr1. A Warning to Dog Owners
Some people think it great sport
to own a dog that can "lien anything
that comes along the road." They
do not make an attempt to restrain
the animal and whenever t ho mon-
grel brute send a harmless dog
yelping along the road they give him
an extra potion of food for his ex
cellent services. They do not stop
to think that if it were their dog that
was being abused they would laugh
out of the other side of their mouth
Bicycle riders are also greatly an
noyed and often injured by these ill
trained curs, and several of the dogs
have lately gotten tho worst of the
bargain by being caught in tho rump
by a ball from a 2'2-calibre revolver,
The fact is, dogs havo no business
on the road, and, although the law
aiAy b on the owiior' side, no uaa
is going to risk a dog bite for the
satisfaction of proving the animal a
nuisance ; and, taking advantage of
tho first law of nature, they will
h(Kt, and it is well for owners of
dogs to mako a note of this, or they
may have an opportunity iu the near
future to drag their otherwise val
uable dog from the street by the
bin 1 leg and plant him unJ.-t the
daisies.

W. F. Fees and wife left on Wed
nesday morning to pay a visit to
Rev. Pdueger and family at Eliza
bethville. There is as much truth as poetry
iu the lines :
"LikUKb Slid ttu wiirlj Uu.,-11, wiiu i.hi .

and perhaps it is as well. There is
inevitable sadness enough iu each lot
without adopting that of others.
Sympathy for real troubles should
always be given, along with what
help for them is possible. But there
are many pers jus w ho, especially in
their ow u families, talk too much of
their own ills and troubles, although
they are always smiling and genial
among strangers, and ever ready with
a pleasant," I thauk you," for every
service rendered. If they can rise
above their despondencies iu tho
presence of straugers, with a persis
tent effort they can stay above them
at home, till they may in the end for
get about a part of them at least, iu
finding how much belter they are
liked by those around them. If
you would pass successfully through
life, wear a bright face and a pleasing
manner even though they may some

A Doctor'i Plea,
Fiuexd Tom. About two weeks
ago I read Boonastiel's letter in your
valuable paper and I was amused by
his simple and yet forcible comment
on tho promise to pay. "That's all
right1' would bo all right if it kept
tho editor, physician, "tho butcher,
the baker aud candlestick maker"
moving, but since it buys neither
food nor raiment it is unsatisfactory.
I am sorry that so many people are
inclined to regard this with so much
indifference. u often heard tho
remark, "I should pay my paper,
but theie is no hurry, the editor can
send mine along with the rest and
don't mind it." The- editor, how
ever, is imt alone in this rcqert. I
have likcM-ie heard the remark.
This trip or this medicine costs the
doctor littl.-or nothing and he can
wait." Iii ing a physician by pro
fession and practice, I was, of
course, most interested m tuat part
of your letter which dwelt directly
upon tho followers of Aesculapius.
Our profession seems to have few
rights which, any, in modern times,
feel obliged to respect. One right,
that educated, true conscientious.
self-sacrificing, medical men should
have, is the right of protection
against bastard competition. He
who has invested his time, labor,
means and prime of youth, in ac
quiring knowledge to tit hiru for a
high aud responsible calling, is com
pelled to encounter the competition
of those who have neither invested
time, money or labor in tho pursuit
of medical or any other knowledge.
Another, right which is tramph
der foot is that to demand a i a
the witness stand. The doctor is
summoned as a medical witness and
put on the stand. He is asked what
he thinks and not what ho knows.
His opinion is therefore exf.oi't.ed
from him under penalty for refusal.
He is, in no sense a witness : for the
latter testifies to facts what he
knows. If an urd.nary .vitness
dares to say, 'T thiuk." "It is may
opiuiou." he is immediately stopped,
and told his opinion is not, wanted ;
that he is put there to tell just what
he knows, but the physician is com
pelled to give an op.nion ina mat
ter of no moment to Linn but of
much to somebody else an I is sub
jected to the galhng croMs-eaiuina
tion of some insolent, upstart attor
ney , he is taken from his ollice
practice, detained at court f.r days
is pai l, if anything, one dollar a day
and called a witness.
The physician himself only can
appreciate what a physician is, and
what he should be, aud what his
life is. He can realize, as nono oth
er cau, that there is no other pro
fession, no avocation of life, save
that alone which deals with mail's
eternal and immortal interests,
which embodies iu its nature so
much good, usefulness and so much
that is honorable as tho science, and
practice of medicine. By t ho lone
couch of suffering, in the still hour
of night, when tho world sees not
andheurs not, stands ho as a lust
hope with tho tears, tho sorrows,
the anxieties, the gratittitu of help
less ones aud his crown is sanctified;
yet the world knows uoL those
things.
In ad'htion to those who are al
lowed to continue the, practice of
medicine ou authority of experience
prior to the recent and moio riggid
laws, we, have the homeopath, tho

State Superintendent of Public

tho course of an add its before the

of an of.icialsciioiHlio.lv assembled
to be enlightened on this and kin

public lUellliol,.
While some form of compulsory
e l lc.iiiun legislation has heen passed
in several States, the great majority
of Americans seem to think it out
of harmony with our institutions.
They find the (u l.tions of l.t'n to be
less attractive in those countries
w hose ( 1 )venr..ie:i( s are continually
intermed 11. ng with the freedom of
the cui.eii than it is in nations
whoso people sc-uveiy feel the fric
tion of governmental machinery.
Tho subject i, i compulsory educa
tion has provoked ranch scholastic
discussion but it has not reached the
importance of a national issue.
UjieHtiou.s which deeply agitato tho
public soon tiud their way into polit
ical platforms, national and State.
American politicians are astute to
discover the quarter from which the
popular gales are blowing ami are
always ready i 'j ' ' to catch
the breeze. Every declaration of
policy which promises to win votes
is likely to be found embedded some
where in tho assortment of prin
ciples en loi'ied ;u part y iron vent ions.
In there were live national
parties iu the tield, and only one of
them, the most discredited and least
powerful of the li.-,i, made any ref
erence to compulsory education.
Republican, Democratic, the Pro
Subitum and the I'oople s party made
no allusion to the topic. Tho So

his Rending address, recogni.nd the
logical position of the Socmii.-,ts in
tho mutter. He is credited with
saying that many children are kept
away from school becuiiHo they do
not havii proper clothing, aud if
Pennsylvania adopts a compulsory

necessary apparel. Tins implies
