Advices from Collector Bauson, of Gloucester, Mass., who- Is cruising In the Bay of Bt. Lawrence, represent that mackerel-fishing In the bay this season is a complete failure. Many llrnis are going out of the business. Moonshiners in Pennsylvania. Tittstox, ia,A. raid was made yes terday by Collector Mercur, of Towanda and his posse upon an illicit distillery near Ferksten, in the backwoods of Wy oming county. Appollls Ferris was ar rested, but several of the moonshiners escaped. The officers captured a still and a quantity of whiskey. Tiie London agent of the Associated Press is usually accurate and careful, but he fell into a very unfortunate blunder when he noticed the death of Mrs. Sar toris, and identified her as Nellie Grant. This lady is greatly beloved in Amer ica, and the announcement of her death brought sorrow to many hearts. It is to be hoped that her father and mother were outside of the cable news circuit and did nob see the dispatch. The Mrs. Sartoris who died was the wife of the Hon. Edward Sartorls and the mother of Nellie Grant's husband. Missing Diamonds. Considerable excitement was caused in a Connecticut town by the supposi tion that a lady had been robbed of about $2,000 worth of diamonds, last Saturday night a week, and the police were immediately set at work upon the case. Later the diamonds were found where the lady had hidden them In her sleep in a hole in an old sofa. She had walked In her sleep before, and on one occasion hid the material for a silk dress in the garret, where it remained undis covered for about a year. A Singular Case. The Bethlehem "Times" records a novel accident : One day last week a large stone grist mill on Spring creek, at Trexlertown, suddenly Btopped running, and on looking for the cause it was found, much to the surprise of the mill hands, that a sink hole had opened in the water of the forebay, and that the water was disappearing through this subterranean passage as fast as it flowed in through the race. Part of the foun dations of the mill also sunk out of sight. It is thought that the water power cannot be restored. Accident on the Pennsylvania R. R. A serious accident occurred on Mon day about midnight, on the Pennsylva nia Railroad at Dillerville, a point one mile west of Lancaster, where the road branches, one line via Columbia and the other via Mount Joy. It seems that the switch-tender left the switch open on the main branch just as the Atlantic Express was approaching. The engine, tender, baggage car, two Adams Express cars, and one peach car, were wrecked, the engine being thrown into Jhe ditch, but no one was hurt. The train was delayed some hours. A Novel Ride. Sunday afternoon as the Pacific ex press east was running along at the usual rate just east of Harrisburg, the engineer noticed a flock of turkeys on the track and ran into them. He notic ed that one of them did not get out of the way, and when he was oiling his engine at Lancaster, he looked around the front part of the locomotive and found Mr. Turkey perched up under the body of the engine on the shute used for taking water while running. He took it out and it was not hurt in the least, as far as he could see, and took It to his home. The turkey had taken a ride of thirty miles and more, and con sidering the way he ".got aboard" it was a novel ride. A Cow Killed by Mosquitoes. We have been informed that Captain Dow Lawson, who lives about three miles from this place, lost a valuable cow a few days ago. Her death, it is Baid, was caused by the abundance of mosquitoes in that section. They have been rather troublesome here for a few days, and the merchants through the day were compelled to make smothers in order to secure some respite from the little pests. And at night smoke was so nbundant that It gave Crlsfleld the ap pearance of being on fire. Reports from other places on the peninsula have reached here to the effect that the people were sorely troubled on account of the mosquitoes. Crlsfleld (Md.) " Leader." A. T. Stewart's Bones. " There have been reports that the re mains of the New York millionaire, A. T. Stewart, which were stolen last year from the grave in which they had been placed, had been reoovered, but the report seems to be untrue. The " Tri bune" says : Another, though not yet a final chap ter, must be written in the strange ro mance of the theft of Alexander T. Btewart's body. The negotiations be gun in January last as announced in the " Tribune" of January 80th, have come to naught, and the body is still in the hands of the robbers. Of the five robbers only Henry U. Itomalne Is known by name. The lawyer through whom they have sought to negotiate is Patrick H. Jones, formerly Post-master, and late Register of New York. The sum demanded was $200,000. Judge Hilton refused to pay more than $25,000, the original reward for the return of the body. All efforts having failed to secure both robbers and body, Judge Hilton, on July 24th, reopened negotiations for the ransom of the body without regard to the conviction of the thieves. These negotiations are now pending. Miscellaneous News Items. gig" Tioga county has a festive youth aged one hundred and eleven years.

Of course, this cannot be followed in every particular at first, on account of the present condition of the schools ; but as the older pu pils pass out, If it Is strictly adhered to in the teaching of beginners, our schools will become a unit In their system of instruction no time will be lost at tho beginning of the term In or ganizing, if pupils move from one district to another, they will know Just where they be long. Young and inexperienced teachers will have a guide that will be of much assistance to them in commencing their work, multipli city of classes will be avoided, time will be economized, teachers and pupils will be stimu lated because their work can be directly com pared with others, and more satisfactory re sults must follow because all are endeavoring to accomplish a definite amount of work. These suggestions are taken chiefly from those prepared by the Illinois Association of Superintendents. Teachers should preserve this for reference. S. B. Fahnbstock, Co. Nup't. How to Save Money.
