Fall Of Five HOuses.--A Lewistown pa
per says: Thursday evening last, when
there was scarcely any wind at all, the
frame work of the row Of five new houses
which Gen. Burns is erecting over-the-
river, all suddenly fell down with tre-
mendous crash. The raising had been
completed several days before. OF course
no cause for this tumbling down can be
assigned excepting that the framing had
been poorly done. Fortunately-indeed,
providentially it would seem-none of the
workmen were in the building at the time,
nor oven on the side toward which it fell.

ed with Mr.. M'Gurk to Girardville but
could find no one TO undertake the task of
nursing the family for love or money.
They then asked Mr.. Beatty to haul them
with his team to the alms-house, and he
did so, one Of the children dying ON the
morning before they left, and three dying
at the alms-house. The wife and two chill

General Sherman's Opinion Of the Prus-
sian Army.

In an interview with a correspondent of the
New York World, speaking of the Prussian
Army, General Sherman said: s., b: ..r.
SIT is unquestionably the finest army in the
world, and no wonder, if we consider the
years it has taken them to make it, 1t is
perfect machine of war. The men who have
re-created it have made every separate force,
aptitude and impulse that can contribute to
military success the subject of the most rigor-
ously scientific study. Originality is only a
new form of truth, and truth is generally the
reward of painstaking thought. BY hard
thinking and close observation of the mental
as well as the bodily habits of
men, the Prussisns have established sys-
tenn exactly adapted to their national tradi-
tions, temperament, and moral and political
organization. The same study would yield
other results as applied to other countries;
and therefore an imitation Of the Prussian
scheme in its details instead of in its spirit,
would, in my opinion, be mistake.
The most striking thing about it is the new
recognition it has given to individuality in
the soldier. The army is an aggregate of To-
Called and therefore individualized corps,
and every man in every corps is taught to
combine sense of personal responsibility
and of selfreliance with the instinct of
military obedincee. 1t is not only an
army of thousands, but an army of units.
And this / take TO be the incest mill
tary problem in the whole range. 1t has Of
ten been talked about before, but perhaps
never fairly grappled with. do not say the
Prussians have completely solved it; but they
have gone further than any nation / know Of
You may talk eontemptuously of the Prus-
sian drilling, but their idea seem to be to drill
men to do without drill !; in fact, they have
made their drilling so thorough that it has
become kind of synonym for the aggregate
of all the forces of their varied culture, and
that culture, has the union of the most
thorough individuality with the most thorough
subordination for its highest end and aim.

THE HUMAN RooF AND IT'S THATcHNG-If
the man deserves well of his country who
makes two blades of grass grow where only one
grew before, surely he who produces glorious
crop of hair on a comparatively barren scalp,
deserves the hearty thanks of the obliged party
All honor, therefore, to PROFESSOR e. L. LY-
ON, for, unquestiohably, his renowned KATH-
AKRON accomplishes this object Gentlemen
whose whiskers are shy of making their ap-
pearance in force, or the fibres of whose NOUS
taches disclose those magnificent distances"
for which Washington City was once so famous,
will find this HAIR PERsUADER the most won
derful encourager of fibrous development that
has ever yet been invented. Both sexes arc
advised to use it, as, by all odds, it is the best
article for improving the growth and beauty of
the hair, keeping it free from scurf and dan
druff, preventing it from becoming harsh, dry
and gray-giving it a rich gloss and endowing
it with fiexibility-that Toilet Chemistry has
ever evolved from the vegetable kingdom.
