"A Sad Accident.-On Tuesday evening
last telegram was received from Mr.. A. l..
Markell of Buda, ILL.,, stating that Ed. j.
Mickey son of Mr. David Mickey of this
borough had been seriously injured at that
place on the evening previous. A letter
was received on Friday giving the particu-
lars. 1t appears that Edward, who was
employed at the Round House of the r.
II. Co. was between the cars examining the
couplings when the train started. He was
grabbed by Mr.. Markell who attempted to
pull him out, but did not succeed in
doing SO until one wheel had passed over
him crushing the left leg between the knee
and ankle SO that amputation would be
necessary, and breaking the bone and in
-iuring the knee of the right leg.
At the time the letter was written, reac.
tion, had not taken place sufficiently to per-
form the surgical operation, although TWEEN
ty heurs had elapsed since the accident
happened.

"A "leap year party" is soon to take place
in this borough. We are glad to learn that
the ladies are determined to insist on their

will not pattern after the boys and stand
around the church doors after service wait

A BEAUTIFUL WOMAN. = The percep-
tive faculty of women is usually keener than
the same chronological organ In men. Women
know that beauty rather than genius Is Worship
ped by the sterner sex. A man may talk of
the latter to his lady-love, but the keenness of
the woman knows that he is thinking OF the
former. Women are fond of admiration ;
hence one of their lopgings is to be beautiful
The grand secret Of female beauty Is health,
the power to eat, digest and assmilate prop
er quantity of wholesome food. Take VINE
GAR BITTERS. II will cleanss the stomach,
tone the vital organs, give perfect digestion,
purify the blood, clear up the complexion and
produce state of mental and physical cleetri-
city, whick gives symmetry of form, bright
eyes, white skin, glossy hair and genuine
type of female loveliuess, which no cosmetic
an produce. 2d4t

How TO Make Alum Baskets.-In rcpl

How TO Make Alum Baskets. reply to
3. L. T. in last weeks TIMES, lady friend
sends the following:
ain the formation of the basket, use
bonnet wire and wherever the wires cross,
tie with coarse thread. After forming, wrap
all the wires with candle wick, OF il you
wish colored basket use red flannel or
other colored wool goods, but not glazed
muslins, as they are too smooth to gather
the Alum. Tying strips of the wooden
goods around the top wire of the basket
for a fringe adds greatly to it's appearance.
For the solution in which to hang the bas-
ket, put four pounds of Alum in about 81
gallons of warm water and let it stand on
the stove till thoroughly dissolved. Put it
in a crock sufficiently large to hang in the
basket having it entirely covered, with the
the solution, and let it remain until you
think the wire has sufficiently gathered the
crystals. Grasses are crystalized in the
same manner. The above quantities Of
Alum and water are for a medium sized
basket, and must be varied If a largerone is
to be made.

County Superintendents.-In th'

County superintendent the last
number of the Pennsylvania School Jour
nal, it is recommended that the present
school law be so changed that the county
superintendents may be appointed by the
State Superintendent, instead of being cleo
ted as at the present by school directors.
This plan might work well, if the chief
officers could at all times be removed from
party politics. AS it is doubtful whether
that would be possible, the next best
means of securing good man for the po-
sition, is to be careful in the selection of
school directors, upon whom the RESPONSE
bility of electing a good superintendent now
rests

in one of our exchanges, some pretty severe

him that half dollar was enough for that

An Aged Carp.

The Jon nal DIS Dsbats relates the
story of marvel in the way of fish.
1t is of carp that has just died at
Chantilly, France, at the extraordinary
age of three hundred and seventy five
years If this be true, the carp was
sporting in his native element when
the Moors were being driven out of
Grenada by the Spaniards, and was born
some five years after Columbus first put
his foot on American soil. Glass was
not yet in use, and printing was not in
vented. 1t was twelve years old when
Henry VIII. assembled the throne, and
had survived ten decades before Martin
Luther was heard of.
This extra ordinary fish belonged to a
wealthy merchant of Chantilly, who
bought it about year ago for 1900
francs. 1t was born on the estate OF
the Count de Cosse, in 1897, under the
reign of Francis l., and has during its
long life belonged to thirty two different
masters. 1t had naturally become quite
an object of history, went by the name
of Gabrielle, and measured twenty
inches in length. There is no knowing
how much longer this creature might
have lived, as it did not die natural
death, but was killed in mortal combat
with an enormous pike. Its owners
little son was present at the fatal battle,
but seeing in it only something to
amuse him, he neither interfered nor
called the domestics to separate the
combatants.

GENEVA, Sept. 16.-The opinion of Sir Alex

sehting from the decision of the other mem
bers of the Alabama Claims Arbitration Tri-
bunal, has not yet been published. Count
Sclopis, Jacob Stempfl, and Charles Francis
Adams are the three Arbitrators who voted to
allow damages in tie case of the Shenandoah.
LONDON, Sept. 16.-The London journals re-
joice over the conclusion of the Alabama
claims controversy, and express hopes that
the foundation has been laid for permanent,
good understanding between the two nations.
NEW YORK, Sept. 16.-It is said on the au-
thorty of representative of the British Gov
eminent, now in Washington, who is fully
posted on the whole question, that as long
ago as 1865, Lord Russull would have been
glad to cancel all the legitimate claims against
England for more than the amount awarded
by the Tribunal, provided that he could have
gained. as has now been gained and accom-
plished for sum less in dollars, but richer in
principle to Great Baitaln, the establish
ment of new principle of international law.
The award includes the interest, which re-
duces the actual amount of damages to $12,-
600, 900.

More than Two Thousand Years Ago.

At Montravail, in France, property
has recently been sold, in the court.
yard of which stands the famous
Montravail oak" which naturalists
assert to be over two thousand years
old. This noble tree is thus capable of
measuring existence with the forest
giants of Calaveras county, Cal. This
oak, which is entirely hollow, has had
its interior provided with stone benches
on which twelve persons can comfort
ably sit around a table, and an entrance
door and two windows have been cut
out of its sides. In order to ascertain
its age, M. dor bigny cut out piece of
its entire thickness and boiled it in oil,
which is an infailible mode of bringing
TO light the separate layers produced by
each year. By this method, in count
ing from the center to the circumfer-
ence, he was easily able to prove that
the number of layers amounted to two
thousand and some hundreds. This
tree is OF coutse great natural curios-
lty, and every year numbers of pei sons
visit that neighborhood to view SO
venerable relic of the past, which was
living and yielding shelter, as now, to
the birds of the air whole centuries
before the birth of Jesus Cnrist.

After.Dinncr Mans.

Many persons, particularly the mid.
die aged and elderly, allow themselves
this real indulgence; and the custom, if
not carried to excess, is by many medi-
cal men considered beneficial rather
than otherwise, as by keeping the body
in state of quietude digestion is pro-
NOTED and assisted. In Southern coun-
tries the midday sleep, termed the
siesta, is almost universally taken, and
wonderfully refreshes the frame ener-
waited and weakened by the intense
heat. 1t is. however, recommends
that such sleep be not INDUCED to too
great length. as persons invariably
find such prolonged slumber in the day.
time causes them to awake dull, irrita-
BILE, and unrefreshed; while most have
experienced, on having been accident
ally reused up few minutes after alb.
solute forgetfulness, a sensation OF
lightness and renewed vigor, unattended
by peevishness or the least desire to
sleep again. Medical men, in sanction
ing the indulgence, particularly advise
that it be taken in q reclining posture,
but by no means lying horizontally, the
stomach, in the latter position, pressing
on the intestines and causing the blood
to be impelled to the head. Corpulent
persons, and those who have a tendency
to apoplexy, should be particularly
mindful Of this point.

The Story of Cinderella.

The origin of this nursery tale is
sufficiently curious. About the year
1870, French actor of equal talent
and wealth, named Thevenard, in pass
ing through the streets of Paris, OBJ
served upon cobbler's stall the shoe of
female, which struck him by the re-
markable smallness of its size. After
admiring it for some time, ne return ed
to his house; but his thoughts reverted
to the shoe with such intensity that he
reappeared at the stall the next day:
but the cobbler could give him no other
clue to the owner than that it had been
left in his absence for the purpose of
being repaired. Day after day did
Thevenard return to his post to watch
the refrigeration of the slipper, which
proceeded slowly; nor did the proprie-
tor appear to claim it. Although he
had completed the sixtieth year of his
age, so extravagant became his passion
for the unknown one, that he became,
(were it possible for Frenchman of that
day to be sol miserable and melancholy.
His pain was, however, somewhat APP.
peased by the avatar of the little foot
Itself, appertaining to pretty and
youthful little girl in the very hum
blest class of life. All distinctions were
levelled at once by love; the actor
sought the parents Of the female, pro-
cured their consent to the match, and
actually made her his wife.

Home of the Communists.

New Caledonia is but six days from
Sydney, upon which the colony de-
ponds for its supplies. There, Danish
ment must be lifelong punishment,
unless some miracle in civilization
should take place, and that, under the
pre.ent rule, is highly improbable.
When the island was discovered by
Cook, in l744, great hopes of reclaim
ing and converting the natives were en-
tertalned, and some success Was met
with by the French missionaries who
went there, but as they were speedily
followed by French soldiers, all their
efforts were spoiled, and the natives
went back to the degraded state in
which they had been found, even sink
ing to cannibaliem. There will be
10000 Communists stationed there,
with one regiment of soldiers to guard
them
