The record of the Archbald basepall
lub for the season of 1008 was a "very
creditable one, and well sustains the
claim of that club as Amateur Cham
pions. Out of 41 games played, all of
them with strong teams, Archbald won
30 and lost 11, giving them a winning
percentage of 732. Honesdale and the
Catasauqua semi-professionals, about
half of whose members were Wayne
connty boys, were the only clubs to take
a series from them during the season.
Out of the 22 games" pitched by "Willie"
Dougher, ho lost only 5.

Jerome Cuperman, a Hebrew ped
dler residing in Port Jervis, with his
wife and four children, was foully mur
dered on Friday night, Jan. 8th, about
a quarter of a mile below that city. Tho
mutilated body was discovered at eight
o'clock Saturday morning whero it had
been thrown over a fence at the road
side. The peddler had been absent from
home for two weeks selling his wares in
New Jersey, and when attacked was re
turning to his home on foot with a pack
on his back. It is evident that a fierce
struggle occurred between the peddler
and his assailant or assailants, but ho
was finally overpowered and after a
number of stab wounds had been in
flicted in variouH parts of his body, and
his head had been nearly crushed, by
some instrument tho body was hurled
oyer the fence. The sheriff at once set
about finding the murderer, and there
to little room for doubt that ho' has suc
ceeded in his quest. Henry Brink, of
Montague; N. J., is being detained in
Goahen Jail, nominally as a witness, but
actually as the assassin, and such a web
of circumstantial evidence is being woven
about him at seems to render his convic
tion certain when he is put upon hlsWiak

The fair sex are sometimes referred
to as being hasty and impulsive, as com
pared with their more staid brothers ;
but an employe in the Honesdale post
office furnishes us tho following example
of female deliberation and take-your-timc-ativeness
which is rarely excelled
by the sterner sex. He writes :
"This morning a lady entered the
Honesdale post office and called at the
stamp window to purchase two two-cent
and one one-cent stamps. She opened
her hand-bag and took out a purso j
closed the hand-bag, and opened tho
purse ; took out a dime, and closed the
purse ; opened the hand-bag, and put in
tho puree ; handed the dime to the clerk
and took five pennies in change. Then
she opened the hand-bag, ana took out
tho purse j closed the hand-bag and
opened tho purse ; put in the five pen
nies and closed the purse ; opened tho
hand-bag and put in tho purse ; closed
tho hand-bag, hung it on her arm and
walked out."
