ECKLEY CLIPPINGS. A little Hungarian boy, while running around some of the neighborers houses on Friday last, found a dualin cap in one of their gardens. The little chap took the cap home and placed it on a stone and then took a small ax and hit the cap, not knowing the danger. Ihe cap exploded and part of it entered his child would die, but sinco then ho is much improved and will recover. Frank Brady and Condy Sweeney, of Harwood, were among the visitors to town Sunday.

Miss Sallie A. Campbell, of Freeland, was with her parents hero on Sunday. Sunday evening as two young ladies of town were taking a walk they came in contact with a snake above the Ccrtmcil Ridge crossing. After fighting the snake a fierce battle and throwing several largo stones at it, the monster made its way through the brush as gay in life as ever. When asked the color of the snake they replied That it was green, and aboutsix inches long. It is a wonder, girls, you had courage enough to tackle such a monster without some assistance, but of course when in close corners persons are liable to defend themselves. Mary Ann give you a bit of advice in the matter, hut, as you are well aware, ad vice may cause double the work to her in answering special correspondence. Condy McDermott, who was a resident of this place for a number of years, re moved his family to Bridgeport, Pa., yesterday. MARY ANN. HIGHLAND DOTS. On Tuesday one of the carpenters who is engaged repairing the houses missed his saw while working on the back street aLa house in which a Hungarian family resides. After making a thor ough search for the missing article and not finding it he concluded the woman knew something about it. A policeman came here yesterday and began to search tire house, but when he moved a bed in ! which the saw was hidden, the woman snatched it from its hiding place and gave battle. She used the saw freely and with some effect, but was finally ovtypowered by the officer and two car penters. She was taken to Freeland to get a dose of the law, but we are unable how much of it was given her. Lewis Schwope, of Hazle Brook, was a visitor here last week. Mrs. Henry Miller is on the sick list at present. Thos. Jones spent Monday at Hazleton visiting his siste'r. Mrs. Ann Duffy, of Sandy Hun, spent Sunday here among friends.

Patrick Brice, a former resident of this place, was badly injured by a fall of coal at Oneida colliery yesterday. On Tuesday Dr. McKellar's horse made things pretty lively here for a few minutes. The doctor had just stepped out of the carriage to call on a patient when the horse became frightened and dashed down the street, upsetting the rig and scattering the medicine in every direction. When the vehicle became fast against a fence, the horse tore loose from it ank' went on a mad gallop to the end of the street, where he was caught. Yesterday the carriage, which was smashed completely, was taken on a wagon to Jeddo. Preparing for the llanquet.

I'arado^at^WilkeH-ltiirre. The Knights Templars of Pennsyl ' vania, 6000 strong, took Wilkes-Barre 1 by Storm on Tuesday. With emblazon ed banners and glittering costumes, rownod with the.familiar white plumes, the Sir Knights marched in parade in view of thousands of spectators. It was a splendid exhibition, the forty-first annual conclave of the Keystone State Templars will be remembered as a sig nal success. The paraders formed on side streets and then poured out into River street, the great column starting when the.Jbugle sounded at 11 o'clock. For live sweltering miles the dauntless Knights tramped with Eminent Sir Edward B. Spencer, grand captain gen eral, in the lead. Morris J. Keck, colonel of the Ninth Regiment, N. O. P., was chief of stall. The column was divided into five divisions, representing eyery city and very many borough in the state. Every commandery in Pennsylvania was re presented, but in some cases by only half a dozen delegates. In the evening there was a ball in the armory. Along the line of parade the spectators indulged in considerable comment oveiv the fact that there was not a single j American flag carried by the Knights and the bands failed to play a patriotic air while marching. The absence of these two features caused many inquiries, but no satisfactory answer was obtained from any-of the members. The conclave and parade next year will be held at rittsburg. ■ Hungarians Threaten a Pastor. Something over one year ago, Rev. Father Kossalko was the pastor of St. Stephen's Hungarian Catholic church at Plymouth and the connection was sum marily severed by Bishop O'Hara trans ferring Kossolko to Hazleton, owing to threats made by some of the congrega tion. Last week he was once more assigned to the church there to succeed Rev. Father Jacovitz, who was the choice of ' a large majority of the congregation. ' Kossalko went there and attempted to enter the premises, but was ejected. Threats were made againstjhim should he attempt to officiate, and he left town, going to Wilkes-Barre, where he is now. The opposition members of the church say that if he goes back there they will do him harm, and they seem to mean [ what they say. In the meantime all is ■ excitement among the Huugariun ele- , ment there. McLeod's Star i Setting. A. A. McLeod, less than a year ago regarded by thousands as the coming railroad prince of the country, will at the coming meetings of the Boston and Maine and the New York and New England drop from tho presidency of each line and become what he was before Austin Corbin discovered him, a very good division superintendent or general manager, but utterly incapable of being placed iu any position of fiduciary responsibility in the manage ment of a railroad. The revelations made as to Reading's speculative deal in the stocks of the Eastern railroads have completely dis counted this sky-rocket Napoleon of fi nance, and lie is now regarded witli general distrust throughout the railroad world. Muhlenberg College. I lie annual catalogue of this prosperous institution lias appeared.
