The same ran be said for Jefforson county. People frequently violate laws Inno cently because thoy do not know of their cxtBtance. Every time the Legis lature meets numerous laws are passed that half the people never hear of. By an act passed by the last Legislature and approved by the Governor, on the 18th day of last June, It Is made unlaw ful for anyone but near adult relatives to attend the funeral of any person who died of cholera, yellow fever, smallpox, typhus fever, diphtheria, diphtheritic croup, membraneous croup or leprosy. In addition to the immediate adult rel atives of the deceased, a sufficient num ber of pall bearors may be In attendance. The merchants of Punxsutawnoy are being greatly annoyed by women of that place who have been Indulging freely In shop-lifting. The JYet.' says "the nefarious practice was carried on so extensively during the holiday rush that merchants had to Increase their vigilance to keep the shop-lifters from carrying off the entire store. Articles stolen are from a hat pin to tho finest dress patterns." Shop-lifter is a mild word to apply to people who will go in to a store and steal therefrom. It Is nothing more than unadulterated theft and any person who will take goods that way Is a thief who doserves to serve a term In the penitentiary. Some times such contemptible thieves are called kleptomaniacs. About 99 out of every 100 shop-lifters take the goods for the same reason that a robber would enter your house or store at night, that is because he wants your goods without paying for the tame. A shop-lifter Is as mean a thief as the man who breaks Into a store. Tho exit of the old year and dobut of the new one did not pass unnoticed In Reynoldsvllle. Just as the old year was crowded into the history of the past and the infant '96 was hustled In with its bundle of joy, sorrow, prosperity, ad versity, calamity, &o., to be scattered along the pathway of the human family during the next twelvemonth, the Key stone band was making the welkin ring with delightful music, a party of English carol singers were doing their best to ouldo the angelic host that sang for the shepherds on the plains of Judca over eighteen hundred years ago, and the night air was filled with the bang! bang!! of fire-arms and tooting of horns. No one mourned tho death of tho old year. Amid sconces of revelry he died a vlolont death! and those who were on the streets laughed In his dying face. No tnattor what tho old year brought us, bitterest jfrlof or highest joy, there was no re grets for his departure, and we turned our eye9 toward the little stranger In downy white, and hauton to pay our homage to him the "Happy Now Year." For la tho "sublime audacity of fiiilh,'' we buliove wo shall receive bettor things of the new than of the old year. For several months Punxsutawney and DuBols have boon bidding for a large blast furnace, and on Christmas day the Punxsutawney people reoelvod word from Buffalo by wire that the location had been settled upon and that Punxsutawney handled the pole that knocked off the persimmon. A steam whistle was tied down. for ten minutes and the people rushed out of their homes to look for the fire and were greeted with the news that Bodgors, Brown & Co., a large iron producing firm, were going to locate blast furnace at Punxsy. The Spirit came out the next day and it contained just twenty different articles concerning the blast furnace. Punxsy hag a right to be jubilant! a plant that will give employment to about 300 men is. not dropped into a oountry town every day, nor every week, nor every Christmas. The people of Punxsy got a "hustle on" to gut the furnaoe to locate there Reynoldsvllle made a very small effort to get the furnaoe to locate at this plaoe. If Reynoldsvllle wants indus tries to come our way, it must be known that it will require a little sacrifice of money and land and some tall hustling to get manufacturing establishments of auy cousequeuoe in the latter days of the nineteenth century when so many live towns are keeping their ''eye peel ed" for every new or old industry that is 1 Vrlrar or location. Town Council. The regular monthly meeting of town council was hold on Monday evening, January 0th, 1896. All membors pres ent. Minutes of last meeting wero read and approved.

Rev Slattery Raised an Excitement. Rev. P. J. Slattery, formerly pastor of the M. E. church at this pluce, now located at Jamestown, Pa., went to Pittsburg Christmas and his wife and friends did not hear from him until Fri day of last weok. His friends here wore greatly exercised about his strange disappearance. J. Van Reed went to Pittsburg New Year's day to find the missing man, but failed. Three detec tives were engaged to take up the matter on Friday morning and Mr. Reed went to Jamestown Thursday afternoon. Friday morning Mrs. Slattery received a lotter from her husband bearing the Intelligence that he was sick at Hotel Mabold, in Allegheny. He was taken home Friday afternoon. Before loavlng Alloghony Friday Rov. Slattory made tho following statement to a Time re porter concerning his disappearance which had caused so much excitement: 'I started from Jamostown on Christ mas to visit Rev. Mr. Lusher, of New Castle, Pa., but fearing that the sudden ness of my coming without previous no tification would lncommodo him, 1 kept on to Pittsburg. I went into a storo hero to buy some toys for some children in Royholdsvlllo, and further than that I know nothing until the next Monday, when I found myself in bed at a hotel. I did not know how I got there. I could only account for it in the fact that I have had attacks of noueresthonta off and on for 10 years, but this was tho first one since one I had in Washington two years ago. I paid my hill and start ed for homo, hut I took sick bofore I reached the Fort Wayne depot, in Alleghony, and stopped at the Hotel Mabold. I hBvo kopt in my room most of tho time ever since. I have often had these attacks and over-study was ascribed as tho cause. I would fall un conscious for several minutes and would becorao very sick, and the doctors pre scribed a quinine tincture, and at times stlmulents." A Horrible Experience. George F. Cant, of Roynoldsvlllo, is now superintendent of the Cummock, North Carolina, coal mines, where the explosion occurred on Thursday, Doo embor 19, in which thirty-nine men were killed. Mr. Cant bod just taken charge, but rendered good service in holping the men out of the mine, which is approached by a shaft nearly 500 feet deep. The miners were terrorized, and oould not bo induced to enter the mine until Mr. Cant and the mine foreman first descended. There were sixty-five men at work In the mine, and of these thirty-nine were killed. The explosion was caused by the carelessness of a miner, and a coroner's jury exonorated the company from all blame. It was a horrible experience, recovering the living and dead from the black depth of this mine, and witnessing the frenzied grief of the wives and children of the unfortunate miners.

One of the exciting events la Reyn oldsvllle during last week was a fracas between two females of this place. The "scrap" occurred In the 1 'olunteer office, and the why fore of the fight was because one girl had slandered the other. If wo wore Informed correctly, the foots are as follows: An employee of the I 'olunteer office pays attention to a girl at a hotel In this place. A Jackson st. girl dumped a lot of stuff Into the ear of tho printer that reflected seriously on the hotel girl's character. She got an inkling of the Slanderous report and on Tuesday called on the Jackson street girl for an explanation. The Jackson street girl denied the accusation. The hotel girl did not propose to allow her chnracter to be so damagtngly assailed without sifting the matter to find the guilty party, therefore, the Jackson st. girl was requested to accompany the other one to the Volunteer office to face the young man to whom the infamous columnles should have been madu. To make a long story short, the two females did go to the printing ofiico and before they loft It the hotel girl chuHtiscd the J uck son st. girl severely and In a reg ular pugilistic manner. Fighting Is disgraceful, to soy the least, and more especially when the par ticipants are of the feminine gender, and yet, candidly, we believe if all the women and men who wilfully attempt to rob another of their best possession good name were treated to an everlastingly good thumping that it might have a tendency to cause slanderers to handle other people's reputations with a little more care.
