THE TIMES; NEW BLOOMFIELD, PA., MARCH 8, 1881.
A Curious Mistake.
Ia llie neighborhood of Marseilles, not
long Biro, buys the London Telegram was
dltoorered an ancient Roman burying
ground, containing among other Interest
ing graves, that of Consul Calus Septimus,
wherein a quantity of antique- weapons
and coins were found, and, moreover, an
amphora the Inscription upon which was
all but illegible containing a amall quan
Uty of thick, reddish liquor. The ampho
ra emptied of its contents, was submitted
to the iuspeotton of an eminent arohicolo-
gint, who, after bestowing extraordinary
pains upou the deciphering of the mutila
ted characters engravon upon its surface,
declared it to be bis opinion that they indi
cated the presence of genuine Fnlernlan
within the vessel, adding that Calus Boptl
mus a Jovial consul of considerable repute
as a judge of good wine, had obviously
ordered that a flask of the best vintage In
his cellar should bs buried with him. The
scientific gentleman who hud discovered
the oousul's grave and taken possession of
its contents, upon learning the true char
acter of the liquid relic in question, at
once started for Paris with his Falerniau
in a glass decanter, and, there arrived,
invited a dozen of bis friends, members of
the acadomy of inscriptions, to a dinner
at one of the leading restaurants. At des
aert he produced the 'consul's wine,"
carefully poured it into tiny liquor glasses
and handed it round to his guests, rever
ently exhorting them to drink it upstand
ing, to the immortal memory of Calus
Hoptimus. The glasses were scarcely
emptied when a telegram was broguht in
by the head waiter on a salver, and laid
bofore the founder of the feast. He glauc
ed at it, aud then letting it fall upon the
iloor, tied from the room with a cry of
terrible agony. One of the startled acade
micians picked up the message and read it
aloud. It read as follows: "Marseilles, 7
Vt M. Don't drink contents of amphora.
Not Falernian at all. Have deciphered
inscription on foot, which previously escap
ed my notice. Red liquid is body of Con
sul Calus, liquified by special embalming
process." But the friendly warning came
too late. The archaeologist and his acade
mical colleagues had drank up the cousul
to his last drop.
A Very Fast Girt.
Meadville, February li8. The seusation
at present agitating this place is tho revela
tion of a secret marriage of a pretty school
girl of about 18 years of ago to a young
man employed in the diuing rooms of the
Mclleury llouse here. About three years
ago, when only 13 yaars old, she ran away
with a boy a year older than herself and
married him at Baegertown, which of
course created quite a stir among the citi
zens, of whom the families concerned were
tho most prominent. The parents of the
giil, however, very soou after procured a
divorce and so guarded her as to effectually
avoid, as tbey supposed any unfavorable
developments. It is believed now that
nothing will be done to reclaim the girl in
tho present case.
An Act Of Courtesy.
It was very considerate of Judge Park,
er to do an act of courtesy to a young lady
in Indiana during a recent trial for divorce
that came before bim. The case seemed
to be quite clear and simple, and he was
about to order a decree, when he uoticed
the daughter of one of the parties, and
requested her to come forward, take the
staud aud be sworn. He asked her n few
unimportaut questions, and granted the
divorce. At the dinuer table one of the
counsel asked if it was naoessary that the
young lady should testify. "Well, no,"
said the Judge smiling; "but I saw that
she had a new bonnet, and was striving to
show it, and I con eluded to give her a
better opportunity by putting her on the
stand."
Dangers of a Free Press.
A little Oil City boy, wbese father gave
him a printing press the other day, has
already discovered the dangers and pitfalls
which surround the path of the printer.
Ho set up and printed a little gilt-edged
card with the warning phrase, "Paint I
Look out ?" By some means this card
became fastened to his sister's bat, and
bung just above ber left ear, where he
who ran could read, and when she went
down street there was a grin extending
from Pearl Avenue to the Exchange ; and
that night the boy traded off his printing
press for a jellow dog and a popgun.
What We Eat.
He is ccrtaiuly a wise man who knows
what he is eating in these days of whole,
vale adulteration, and as if to add to the
already heavy load upou the backs or stom.
aobs, rather, of the people, an old. sinner
iu, New York has made the confession
that he ha twenty-one factories in fit.
Lawrence county in which he manufactures
cheese from lard, and the demand is so
great from merchants that be is not able to
fill bis orders.
The Chicago physicians state that
in their opinion the disease known as wa
ter cholera, which has been very prevalent
in that city, is attributed to the use of
"butter! nt," In the 'composition of whloh
hog products largely enter. The proa ess
of making this compound does not require
so high a temperature as that needed for
refining lard, so that the germs of the
disease are not killed hi the " operation.
This stuff is largely usod lu cheap restau
rants, and the authorities propose to turn
their attention t the subject In the way
of prevention,
Miscellaneous Ncivh Items.
tWA New Albany woman is able to
guarantee her fourth husband a fair sup
port (what time he may-live) on the life
insurance she has realised from the three
dead husbands.
t&A mail living near Mouut Ayre,
Ringgold oouutr, Iowa, drove his mother-lu-
law out of his house, recently, at the
dead of night in her bare feet. The old
lady, aged about 73 years, had to walk a
distance of half a mile before she could
reach shelter.
C3TA youth snow-hound at Baldwin, Ht.
Croix county, Wis., improved his time by
falling iu love with the daughter of the
house at which he was being entertained,
and upou the first opportunity lied with
her to a neighboring justice of the peace,
by whom they wero married.
l3fA colored woman at East St. Louis,
desiring to buy a ticket to Chicago, found
her cash a dollar short at the depot, when a
friendly colored brother stepped forward to
help her out of her dilemma. Iu her grati
tude she commissioned him to got her
baggage checked, aud now that she has
found her baggage in a pawnshop she de
sires to ilnd that friendly colored brother.
tW An invalid at Lowlstown, Fultou
county, III., who has been sorely afllicted
with the most terrible cramping spells, has
at last fouud relief to a certain extent. He
now drinks a quart of whiskey every
twenty-four hours. It docs not make him
drunk, as one would naturally Bupposo, but
it is said to be doing him good.
tSRepoits from Sioux Falls, Dauotab,
state that a famine exists there. No trains
have arrived for two days, and the roads
are so blocked that none are expected.
Telegraph poles have been cut dowu aud
the tracks torn up in many placeB to use
the ties for fuel. The public sohools are
closed aud business is generally suspended.
S5?"A young lady of Alloghauy City
mot with a very singular and painful acci
dent oue day last week. She was walking
on a pavement which was covered with ice
and slipped, and to save herself from fall
ing grasped an iron fence. A loose ring
woru on oue of her fingers caught on one
of the projections, and the entire weight
of her body falling on it, her finger was
completely torn oil'.
tfAn occurrence which is exceedingly
rare in this part of the world transpired
near Port Kennedy ou Sunday. A farmor
living iu that vicinity had a lot of pigs
four weeks old running in his barnyard,
when a largo eagle swooped down and car
ried one of them away before the owner's
eyes. He was unarmed and was unable to
stop the flight of the bird or mako bim give
up his prey.
C5FTue dead body of an Infaut, nearly
decomposed and partially eaten by the
crows, was discovered iu the vicinity of
the Welsh mountains in Lancaster oounty,
on Saturday last. It is supposed that the
child was murdered by somafcof the disre
putable gang inhabiting the mountains,
several members of which now occupy
cells iu the Lancaster County Jail for vari
ous crimes.
E3fA daring burglary was perpetrated
on Sunday night in Chicago, at the rest
dence of Mr. E. P. Smith, a member of
the Board of Trade. On retiring at night
be had placed f 2000 and a diamond pin
worth 4S0, in his pillow case. These
were abstracted and the house was ran
sacked. Mr Smith was found insensible
on Monday morning, and did not recover
consciousness till the afternoon. No clue
to tho burglars.
13T About ten o'olook Wednesday night
while both Houses of the Minnesota Leg
islature were iu session at St. Paul, an
alarm of fire was Bounded which started
the members from their seats. Pushing
from the chamber, they wero confronted
with a falliog firebrand from the dome of
the Capitol, which was already all ablaze,
A book and ladder company with head
quarters nearby, hurried to the scene, and
with the aid of these ladders the members
all escaped, though some of them were'
slightly singed. The building burned rap
idly to the ground, entailing a loss to the
State of over $100,000 for the structure,
and the loss of the Historical and Supreme
Court library a much greater one, because
tbey cannot be restored. The records were
all saved, however, as they were in the
vaults. One of the vaults contains over
two million dollars worth of State trust
bonds, which are saved.
CSPGeorge) C. Speyer, president, and
John O. Raebing, secretary of Rochestar
(Pa) insurance company, were arrested
last week at Pittsburg ou a charge of per
jury iu making false statements of the
finances of the company. Tbey were held
in $1,000 bail for trial.
