Walker, of the Second Ward hotel, has an interesting old paper, the columns of which contain curious reading for the people of this day. It is the Londonderry, (Ireland) Sentinel, of July l!l, 1845, and was re ceived by Mr. Walker's father, the late W. C. Walker. In its American news the paper states that the Presid ent of Texas, Anson Jones, has issued a proclamation announcing that Mcx ico, at the instance of England and France,has agreed to recognize the in dependence of Texas on the condition that it will not unite with any other state. The Sentinel further says that it is thought that Texas will annex itself to the United States at any risk, this risk being a war between the United States and Mexico. Texas did take the risk and the war which followed was one that, cost exico all the rich territory of the south west and its Pacific coast pos sessions. All this has passed into history and if Mexico had not been so insistent its boundaries and influence today might be greater. This small paragraph calls up the brightest memories in the glowing pages of the nation, the storming of the Alamo at San Antonio, the gallant death of that brave band, of Colonel David Bowie, Sam Houston and the deeds of bravery that planted the Stars and Stripes 011 the heights of Chapul tepec.over the famed city of the Mout ezumas and made Zachary Taylor president of the United States. Summer complaints is unusually pre valent among children this season. A well developed case in the writer's family was cured last week by the time ly use of Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarhoea Remedy—one of the best patent medicines manufactured and which is kept 011 hand at the home of ye scribe. This is not intended as a free puff for the company, who do not ad vertise with us, but to benefit little sufferers who may not be within easy access of a physician. No family should be without a bottle of this medicine in the house, especially in summer-time.— Lansing, lowa, Journal. For sale by Paules & Co. No. 352 Mill street. Enjoyable Party.

It is a phenomenal thing for a mountain resort such as is seen at sea shore, which makes the bathing more pleasant. Eagles Mere is one of the few places that, boasts of such a beach. The bathing at tbis popular resort is superb. It is visited by greater crowds each year. While the weather was not favorable during the early part of the season for summer resort visitors the conditions are now changed and many persons are flocking to the mountains and sea. A car load of fresh air children sent out by the New York Tribune will reach Sunbury this afternoon. They will be entertained by Sunbury famil ies for two weeks. Managers of many of the railroads have begun to view with alarm the serious aspect of the coal strike, and are accumulating largo supplies of coal in case a general strike should be ordered. It is stated that some of the important trunk lines would be with out coal iu a short time if such a pre caution were not taken. Four hundred and eighty miles in four hundred and sixty minutes is the latest record of the Lake Shore and Michigan Southern railroad, with prospects of reducing the time to 111 hours between New York and Chicago.

An idea of the scale 11)1011 which the railroads will prepare for the Blooms burg centennial August -.'sth and \!'.»lh may be gathered from the an nouncement that the Philadclphia and Reading will run five excursions each day to the centennial. One will be run from Tamnqun, over the Catawissa division, another from Tamaqua, over tin- Shatuokin division; one from Mil ton. one from points between Will iamsport and Milton, and one from points between Milton and Blooms burg. For salt water bathing Atlantic City is without doubt tin- queen of sea shore resorts. Thousands are in the surf each day while other thousands enjoy the privileges afforded by the miles of boardwalk which parallels the beach. Reading Railway has magnificent train service daily to sea shore. A special low rate excursion will leave July 24th which will give passengers ten days' outing at the shore.

I "ALIOE OF OLD VINOENNES." Another eiiehantiiigly interesting story is delighting readers of the Sun day North American. "Alice of Old Vincennes," by Maurice Thompson, is both thrilling and pathetic, a word picture of the life of the early settlers in Indiana, which portrays the lights and shadows of pioneer (lays with the skill of the expert. Love making in those days was apt to lie interrupted l>y the sudden crack of the rifle and the pinging of a bullet on the door jxist. They were stirring days of danger, stern hardship and frequent tragedies. Through this border life, with its shooting affrays and fierce fights, Alice of Old Vincennes moves like a being from a world of her own. She is a fascinating character to those who com pare her with the modern girl. And yet her prototype could be readily found in those strenuous pioneer days. Here js a synopsis of the opening chapters of the book: Alice Roussillon is introduced to the reader. She is described as a tall, lithe girl at play beneath a cherry tree with her foster brother Jean, the hunchback. They are interrupt ed by I'ere Beret, the parish priest. Gaspard Roussillon, the adopted father of the children,a stalwart French immigrant, had taken the two waifs and had given them a home. The girl was of Protestant parentage, but her guardian, a devout Catholic, hail re fused to interfere with her religion, much to the regret of the good priest. After chiding the children for their rough play Pere Beret, was told that a quantity of alcoholic liquor had just reached Vincennes. He made no sign of approval or disapproval, but as he sat on the doorsill of his home thinking of it a letter was handed him. The continuation of the story will 1 e found in the Sunday North American. LIVES WELL OX TEN ACHES. A good friend of ours, the owner of only ten acres of good land, lives as comfortably and happily on the prod ucts of this little farm as any man on a much larger place. He keeps a pair of brood mares, which raise him two good draft colts each year, barring ac cidents; lie keeps two good cows, three or four plus, about seventy-five hens and a few stands of bees; he keeps about two acres in small fruit—straw berries, raspberries, currants, gooseber ries—grows three or four acres of po tatoes each year, an acre of broom corn which ho works up Into brooms in the winter, an acre of onions and the rest of his land in corn. He raises very large crops, for he plows deep, fer ! tilizes his land heavily and takes good care of all crops while growing. He \ has in addition a plum orchard and a I big asparagus Led, which both bring In quite a idee little sum each year. He told us that he lived well and saved a little money each year, and yet there are lots of men who really believe that they cannot live on less than 160 acres. Women as Well as Men Are Made Miserable by Kidney Trouble. Kidney trouble preys upon the mind, dis courages and lessens ambition; beauty, vigor s , .. and cheerfulness soon disappear when the kid neys are out of order -C or diseased. Kidney trouble has ; become so prevalent H 'tis not uncommon ru * or a c h''d to be born /1 aff,lc,ecl wlth weak kid- JP neys. If the child urin ates too often, if the urine scalds the flesh or if, when the child reaches an age when it should be able to control the passage, it is yet afflicted with bed-wetting, depend upon it.the cause of the difficulty is kidney trouble, and the first step should be towards the treatment of these important organs. This unpleasant trouble is due to a diseased condition of the kidneys and bladder and not to a habit as most people suppose. Women as well as men are made mis erable with kidney and bladder trouble, and both need the same great remedy. The mild and the immediate effect ol Swamp-Root is soon realized.

I found him in a most deplorable condition. His hock was swollen as tight as the skin would hold. The joint was three or four times its normal size. The horse could not bear a single pound of weight on it,. I applied MOVER'S WHITE LINIMENT freely to the affected part at once. By evening the swelling was reduced one half. I bathed it again and on Thurs day morning the swelling had entirely disappeared. He could now stand firmly on the injured leg again and by Thnrsday night no sign of lameness could be seen. This Friday morning he is working in the team as well as ever. The value of such a liniment on the farm and in the stable is incalcuable. 1 think the knowledge of its merits should be spread broadcast as rapidly and as tho.ouglily as printer's ink can make it known.
