A day or two ago q stranger, with heavy black

stolen by Dutch captain, who cared for him and
educated him as his own.
Tha boy always supposed that he wac his father

on his death-bed, who gave him his real fathers

In last evenings issue OF the DAILY GAZETTE
. local article headed "Case OF Supposed Poison

Of Mr.. Belj Bellew, reading az No. l03 Justison
Stfeet, feeling unwel, sent httle girl 10 Fosters

pairing tito take, she thought that one portion
too large and she threw about half OF 1t away,
that when prepared the powder eifervesced prop
erly, hut tasted quesrly and alter drinking 1t she
was seized with faintness, Vomited blood, etc,
when DR.. Harlan was called in, who, without ex-
amihing the powder, stated that the symptoms
gave evidence Of the woman having swallowed
corrosive sublimdte. The above article seems to
me to be malicious effort upon the part OF the
Homeopathic physician in charge of the case to
injurO my business. II the Seidlltz Powder was
purchased At my drug store, and contained zorro

Of the cass, nay opinion is that Mrs. b. was suffer

GREAT Book SALEs.-Early this month
A valuable collection of rare old books
was sold at auction in England. Among
the number was copy of the Mazarine
Bible, printed on vellum, between 1850
and 1855. by Gutenberg and Faust. and
formerly in the library of the University
Of Mentz. This is the first edition of
the Holy Scriptures, and the first book
executed with mental types by the in
venters OF the art Of printing. DIR.
Dibdin, in his 'Bibiographical Decam-
eron, states that five copies only of the
Mazarine Bible are known upon vellum.
and the present one is claimed to be the
finest of the five, being as clean as the
day 1t issued from the press, and having
but one leaf which appears doubtful.
It's estimated by an expert to be worth
from SIT, 900 to $4,000. Among other
rare editions of the Bible in the Perkins
collections may be mentioned that of
Faust aad Schoffer, successors to Guten-
Uerg and Faust, printed in 1465, on vel
lum, with illuminated capitals, and val
ueda $4,000; the first German version.
printed in the latter part of the fifteenth
century, and valued at $500; and the
English version of 1882, said to be the
first edition of the English Bible printed
in England, valued at $4,000. Next in
Importance to the bibles are the folio
editions of Shakespeare. Tie first of
these is said to be in excellent condition.
with every leaf genuine. A copy of this
edition sold in 1864 for about SO, 600.
OF scarcely less value are two welipre-
served works from the press of William
Caxton, the first English printed, Hig-
den's ''Polycronicon" (14S2), valued at
81 500, and Covers "Confsssio Aman-
It's" (l4S3), valued at $1,000. OF his
successor, Wynkyn de Worde, the collec
ton contains an admirable example in
the "Vitm Patrum" (l495), worth up-
ward of 81, 800. Another fine specimen
of early Typography is the "Missale
Vaiisumbrosa," printed in Venice in
1903, and valued at 81 800.

PuB Docs.--A PHILADELPHIA editor
thus relieves his mind on a subject
familiar to all newspaper ofiices-the in
eyitable Pub. Doc: "We owe our
thanks to Judge Kelley for the latest
Patent Office reports. We already have
sixteen hundred of those interesting vol
umes in our little library, but they have
been read and re-read so many times
that We know every page of them by
heart. This new volume came oppor-
tunely and gratefully on Christmas
morning, and that night we gathered
our little family around the fire and
read it through to them. The affecting
tale entitled Improvement in Monkey
Wrenches, seemed to touch every
heart, and when we came to the climax
of the little story about Reversible
PIeboards, there was not q dry eve be-
tween the front door and the stable.
During the reading of the piteous mar
ratIve entitled "Gum Washers for Car
rage Axels," the whole family gave ex-
preston to boisterous emotion, and the
hired girl was so excited that she lost
her presence of mind, and went around
to he mothers inadvertently with six
pounds OF sugar and butter kettle full
Of nonr, and came home at midnight in
toxlcated. We can never sufficiently
thank Judge Kelly for the innocent en-
loyment thus furnished us. The men,
ory OF that happy evening will linger in
our minds very much longer than that
hired girl ever fingers when she lights
on lot of substance which she thinks
VIII suit the constitution of her aged
parents.
