The chestnut season is in and the small boys arc having a delightful time wandering through the woods, climbing trees and gathering them. Neil Dugan, one of our young men who is a student at Villa Nova college, and returned home on account of illness, is able to be around again. Michael Lynch, of Harleigh, and James Heenan, of Lattimer, were in town an evening last week. Daniel Roarty, who was injured in No. 5 slope last week by a fall of coal, is recovering slowly at Hazleton hospital. It was not so much the dog and gun as the spade and basket that furnished pastime for our residents last week. The crops on the whole are very good in this section. The collieries were idle here several days last week for want of cars. The company of this place deserves praise for the comfort they are trying to give their employes by repairing the houses before winter sets in. A large gang of men have been employed all summer at this work and now the borough is to have sidewalks and other improvements. Several of our play-goers attend the opera house at llazleton pretty regular. Wo wonder if such plays as the "Country Circus" is their chief attrac tion? One of our young men bought a dog for $3.00 last week and theanimal killed some fowl the first day at his new home. That evening a young man, a gun and a dog on a rope were seen going up the hill toward Drifton. The animal was tied to a tree, the young man took deadly aim and shot the rope in two, and the dog started for his former home at a rapid gait unharmed. No reward will he offered for his return. DRIFTON ITEMS. Rev. J. P. Buxton, of St. James' P. E. church, is enjoying the World's fair this week.

William Brogan, who has been in the western states for a year or more, was here visiting his parents last week. Rumor haß it that William lies, of Oneida, who is now off on a trip to the World's fair, will succeed P. M. Boyle as mine foreman at No. 2 slope when he returns. Harry Jones, who held the position of hoßtler at the locie house, resigned and left for the Wyoming region last week. Peter Carr, a locie engineer, succeeds him. E. A. Oberrender and wife and Sam uel Salmons and wife are off on a trip to Chicago. E. J. Sweeney was called to Allen town last week, where his mother is lying dangerously ill.

On Friday night some parties stole two rocking chairs and a quantity of flower pots from the porches of C. O. Stroh, Thomas Powell and Dr. A. S. McKnight, on East Main street. The night being wet the foot-prints of a person were followed from the porch across the street to the sidewalk, but further traces of them were lost. A search warrant was sworn out by Mr. Stroh on Saturday to search certain houses, but after doing so Constable Quigley found nothing. The chairs stood on the porches all summer and nothing was missed until Friday even ing Leg Broken. While returning home 011 Saturday evening a team of horses driven by George Mai inky became frightened while coming over a bridge near the Lehigh Valley railroad crossing between Freeland and Drifton.

He had BrighL's disease, and while he was not confined to the house he Buffered most intense pain, and his suicide was probably caused by despondency. Christian Endeavor Convention.

A dispatch from Washington says that the papers for the two internal revenue collectorships in this state yet yacant are ready for the attention of Secretary Carlisle. Of the thirteen applicants in the twelfth district there are only three who are "in it"—Grant Herring, supported by the state administration Harrity-Wol verton syndicate; T. M. Conniff, of Plains, Representative Hines's candi date, and George W. Esser, of Mauch Chunk, recently entered by Representa tive Howard Mutchler. The tide has generally been running in favor of State Senator Herring, but the appearance jof the son of the late Democratic war horse of Northampton in the field with a can didate has somewhat disarranged pre vious calculations. In this three-cornered contest Herring has the concentrated backing of the Democratic state machine, while Conniff and Esser represent the divided congres sional anti-state ad ministration combine. There is some talk of R. Bruce Ricketts as a posßsible compromise. How's This! We offer One Hundred Dollars Re-I ward for any case of catarrh that cannot j be cured by Hall's Catarrh Cure. F. J.

ELECTRIC lighting spreads gradually over London. Now Hampstead plans its adoption. OVER a thousand children arc an nually suffocated in bed with their parents in London. LONDON music halls are more pros perous than ever. Theaters droop, but music halls flourish. THE national portrait gallery has at last some prospect of taking possession of its new home. Part of the building now being erected will be fit for use by next spring. IT is seriously proposed to bring Lon don and Edinburgh—a distance of live hundred miles—within six hours' ride of each other. The locomotive with which it is hoped to achieve the feat is in progress of construction by a Glas gow firm. AT three of the large London railway stations—Charing Cross, Cannon street and London bridge—as many as 32,1)01) movements for signal and point levers have to he made every twenty-four hours, quite apart from the telegraphic cominun ications. THE art of ragpicking is understood in other places beside Paris. The rev enue from the rubbish from the streets of the city of London lust year was £1,133; bottles, hoots, knives, iron, corks, string, paper, rags, tins and other odds and ends each contributing their quota. An unopened letter, con taining a check of great value, was found among the refuse and was for warded to the address on the envelope. ADOUT PERSONS OF NOTE. S ALL ABATE has had thirty-two watches given him at various times, several in the shape of violins. MRS. ANNIE MOORE, president of a national bank at Mount Pleasant, Tex., is the only woman who fills such an of fice in the United States. MR. GLADSTONE astonished some of his auditors in the house of commons the other night by using the word "gumption," yet who could employ it more appropriately, seeing how much of the quality the g. o. m. possesses himself? MRS. SARAH B. COOPER, who organ ized the first kindergarten in San Francisco in 1880, has received more than three hundred thousand dollars to enable her to carry on the work. There are now sixty-five kindergarten schools in that city. PROF. PELLAT, of the Paris Sorbonne, has invented an apparatus for prevent ing collisions between trains. It con sists essentially of a band of traveling paper, impregnated with iodine of potassium. A platinum stylus moves over this paper and leaves a blue mark on the paper, as in the chemical tele graph of Bain. The motive current is sent by the train, which thus is made to report its own exact position. Mail Carrier in Custody. Ely Leader, a driver for M. J. Coggin, contractor for carrying the United States mails between the Scranton postoffice and the city depots, now occupies a cell, charged with criminal negligence in handling the mails, and the prosecution will be pushed by officials of the govern ment. Leader was on duty Friday night, and made the trip to the Delaware, Lacka wanna & Western depot for the mails coming in on the northern division train. That mail consisted of nine pouches, one of which comes from Montrose. When Leader deposited the mail at the post ofiice there were but eight pouches, the one from Montrose being missing. A search was made for the missing one. About midnight it was found by a pas senger at the depot in a dark corner of the water closet. The lock had not been tampered with. There was not tho least doubt that some one had carried the mail pouch there with the intention of carrying it off as soon as the search for it died out. Leader's carelessness in allowing some one to secure it without his knowledge led to his arrest, and there is a suspicion that he had a knowledge of the theft. Killed on tlic Ball. Lehigh Valley passenger train which left Ilazleton at 10 o'clock Friday morn ing ran into a Pennsylvania coal train on the curve below New Boston Junc tion. Frank Keene, a brakeman on the coal train, was standing between the ca boose and rear car of liisjtrain when the crash came. The caboose and tiiree cars were knocked in the air and then rolled over the high embankment. Keene was car ried down with the wreck. When ex tricated he was still alive, but was hor ribly bruised and cut, and died shortly after. The engineer and fireman of the express jumped and saved themselves. Although the passengers were severely shaken up none were had ly hurt. Laws for Hunters to Remember.

A force of men is engaged by that corporation to measure the length of the roads in the many townships in Schuyl kill county in which the company is the owner of some of the land. Evidently the management purpose making the roads as they have been doing in some of the townships hereto fore, and the roads are measured so that they inay make proper estimates as to the cost of keeping the highways in re pair. Tho G. A. 11. at Allentown. Thursday was a big day at Allentown, being the great parade of the Grand Army posts of the Lehigh Valley and surrounding counties, with strong dele gations from Philadelphia, numbering in all probably 3,000. There was an extensive display of the red, white and blue all through tho city and thousands of people witnessed and admired the scene. The camp fire in the evening, was equally interesting and the large hall was packed with people. Severe Winter predicted. Winter, according to the greatest of weather prophets, Dr. Ira Hicks, will begin with storms of more or less sever ity, about the middle of November, and "march prolong in at the last, we may reasonably say that we expect upon the whole a hard winter."
