! OBITUARY.-Mr. William Callar, n we'll
| known and much esteemed citizen of this
| county adied of consumption, at his residence
! at Cressou, after n pTotracted illness, at s
| O'Clock on Monday morning last, aud WAS
inferred in the Catholic cemetery at Sum
/ mltyllle on Wednesday morning following
MI CalIan was an honest, true-hearted gem
/ tleman, kind and affectionate in his dispo-
sition and steadfast faithful and highly hon
| orable in both hword and deed and having
well rnerited he fully enjoyed the confidence
/ and respect of ali with whom he held social
or business intercourse. From Monday s is
! sue of the Johnstown Tribune we extract the
following sketch of his life written by one
who knew him long, intimately and well:
The deceased was born in ButiSr. Butler
county, this state about the year lsssa, and at
tne tune OF his death was Vergiug on forty nine
years of age. About thirty-six years ago he re-
moved with his parents to the vicinity of Nun
ster, this county. and for time. although a
BOY then, was engaged at work on the State
improvements that were then being made.
! subsequently he learned the carpenter trade
with Judge Easily, and afterwards commenced
carrying on for himself He erected many prI-
vate dwellings in this city. and when the letting
or the county Poor House was made Mr.. CAL
ian's bid was accepted, and it was erected by
him. During the time he was engaged in COM
pleting this work he was married TO Miss Ellen
Feltz, who bore him three children, all of whom
are yet living After the completion OF his
contract he returned to Johnstown, and car
About the wear 1854 he removed to Cresson, and
purchasing three acres of ground adjoining the
t t,nuIioaH honse property; ne erected the wei
ever since.
Mr. Callan did not reiinqush his labors as a
mechanic- however, but when the letting for
our County Jail was made he was the success
1ul bidder, and to-day it stands monument
10 ms skill and energy as contractor and
builder The municipal building in this city,
known as the Market House, is also lasting
monument to his ability mechanic. After
securing the contract for that building, several
thousand dollars less than any of his competi-
tors, consumption marked hiTn.as a victim. but
even though scarcely able TO leave his bed, be
attended to all the details of its erection.
1t Is scarcely necessary to speak OF his skill
as mechanic, as the buildings we have emu
merated viii serve to keep fresh and green his
memory. In private life he was singular in IS
ways-Inade but few friends, but those with
whom he became intimate recognized him ms
one OF the trIeSt men that ever lived. Always
honest and sincere in his dealings with his fcl-
low men, he looked for the same honesty and
sincerity from those who came in contact will
him; and although apparently cync in hls
ways and department. he possessed heart that
beat as warm and true any that was ever
implanted in mortal breast.
such was William Callan. and the writer, o
whom he was always good and kind. pays this
humble tribute to his memory. May he rest in
peace -

IMPORTANT TO TAX-PAYERS.-Befor
another issue of the Freeman reaches its
readers the duplicates for the collection of
unpaid county rates and levies will be
placed in the hands of the conStables of the
townships and bOrOughs in Cambria county
for collection. BY the sixth section of the
Act of Assembly of April Sth, 1872, the con-
stables are compelled TO collect the taxes on
their respective duplicates within sixty days
after receiving them from the County Treas
urer. If not collected and paid before the
expiration of that time, it is made the duty
of the County Treasurer to Immediately Y
cause an action of debt to he instituted
against such delinquent constables, anG if
it shall appear that the constable has not
complied with the provisions of the above
Act of Assembly, Judgment shall be rem
dered against him for the amount he is
found to be delinquent, together with inter
from and after the expiration of the two
months from the time he received his war
rant, with full costs of suit.
Wealthy men and wealthy corporations
within the county have had Il reduction of
per cent. on their taxes, and the poor man
can never pay per cent. additional and
costs of suit. How much better it would be
to extend the time for the payment OF taxes
to the Treasurer, so that tie farmer would
have time 10 realize something from his
crops wherewith TO pay his share of the
taxation of the county. This is what Henry
Scanlan proposes to do. The law, as it row
stands, favors the rich and bears hard upon
the poor. Let the people answer at the polls
by electing n representative whose every
sympathy is with the farmer and laborer
and whose legislation will not favor large
! corporations and make the rich richer while
it makes the poor poorer.

Plants or Trees OIL One Acre.

The number of square feet in one
acre, or in one hundred and sixty
square rods, is 1850. With these
figures as guide, any intelligent
school boy can readily determine the
number of hills of potatoes, corn or any
other plants or trees that may grow on
one acre. If n person desire to plant n
certain number of acres with apple,
pear or any other trees, it is easy to
calculate how many will be required be-
fore he makes the purchase. If beets
or turnips are allowed to grow exactly
one foot apart, in rows running Mt right
angles, 43, $50 may be raised on one
acre. If plants of any sort stand two
feet distant each way, 10000 may be
cultivated on an acre. When the hills
are three feet distant each way, with
rows running at right angle, 4,84O will
grow on one acre. When hills are five
feet, /, ,742 may stand on one acre, pro-
vided the rows run at right angles. If
the rows are marked out in the quin-
cunx style, the plants may all stand at
n given distance apart, and at the same
time n larger number than we have Indi-
Gated will stand on an acre. When
trees of any sort are planted in rows
running at right angle, twenty feet
apart, 1O3 may be planted on one acre /;
but if they be planted in the quincunx
order, all twenty feet apart, more than
this number will stand on an acre.
Beginners will do well to investigate
this subject, so as to have a correct un-
derstanding of both systems of marking
out ground for any desired purpose.

The Lions Ride.

When lion wishes to have giraffe
for his dinner, he is obliged to be very
careful how he goes tomarket. Giratfes
are not cheap articles of diet, even for a
lion, and IN attempt to get meal OF
that kind of meat always costs him
great deal of trouble, and sometimes
costs his life. OF course, the lion slips
up very quietly toward the giraffe. He
always does that, no matter what his
prey may be, but in this case tits neces-
sary to be very careful indeed, for if he
springs and misses the giraffe, the great
beast may get kick at him before he
has time to recover himself, and kick
from a giraffe, whose hind legs fly out
like sledge-hammers, will make even a
lion feel considerably shook up like.
But even after the lion has safely landed
on the giraffe's back, his dinner is not
ready. The giraffe is large and pow
erfuf animal, and away he rushes, as
fast as his long, awkward legs can carry
him, and that is very fast indeed. Gilt
ter, clatter !-spring and bound Away
he goes, with the lion hanging on like
q good fellow, and the byenas come
yelling after, hoping to have a chance
to get something at the second table,
for it is hardly possible that lion can
eat whole giraffe. But it is not at all
certain that there will be giraffe for
dinner at all, for if the frig htened crea-
ture can get into the woods, he may be
safe. Dashing among the limbs and
rocks, he may knock the lion off. And
look out, Mr.. Lion The giraffe will
turn on you as quick as lightning, and
kick the life out of you before you can
get out of the reach of his heels. Al
though giraffes have been know to get
the best of lions in this way, they are
not always so fortunate. If q thick
wood cannot be reached, the giraffe will
become exhausted, IN d the lion will fix
his teeth in his throat, and drag the poor
beast down and kill and eat him.

Arsenic Eaters.

It seems almost incredible that any
person can be guilty of the madness Of
resorting to the use of poisons, either
internally or externally, for the purpose
of improving the complexion. Arsenic,
in any form in which it is used--al-
though not in a pure metallic state and
before oxidation-is terrible poison.
If taken in sufficient quantities it causes
death, after excrutiating suffering. In
small doses itprodrces very unpleasant
effects, and undoubtedly shortens life.
The habit of eating arsenic once con-
firmed cannot be broken off. A person
is to be looked upon as idiotic who will
deliberately adopt the practice of taking
such an injurious and dangerous drug,
merely for the purpose of whitening the
skin. But there arc other substances
much more commonly used than arsenic
for their effect upon the complexion,
which are also highly deleterious.
Many of the cosmetics which are sold
contain lead, and there are few poisons
which produce results more to be dread
ed than those occasioned by lead. Even
as used in hair dyes, it occasions neu-
ralgia, paralysis, suffering and death.
Seek good looks by seeking health; by
early rising, out door exercise, whole
some food, clear conscience, and the
cultivation of n cheerful temper, and
not by the use of arsenic or any other
poison.

Copper Mines.

One of the copper mines at Kewenan
Peninsula is probably the richest in the
world. The metal is there found not III
the condition of an ore-that is to say,
it is not mineralized by sulphur or oxy-
gen; but is in the metallic state. Some
times it occurs in grains, scales, or
masses in true veins, which cut the
beds of rock; while at other times it
is scattered through the beds themselves.
In certain cases it is the material ce-.
menting the pebbles and broken ma
terials which make up great conglome-
rate beds. The Calumet and Hecla
Mine, which is deposit of this latter
kind, presents breadth of twelve feet
of rock, containing about five per cent.
of metallic copper, which is extracted
by crushing and washing. The produce
of this mine for the past year is about
5000 tons of fine copper, the value of
which at the present high price of this
metal is not less than five millions Of
dollars, of which more than one-half is
probably profit. This is result prob.
ably unexampled in the history OF
mining. There are various other copper
mines in the same region which are
worked with advantage; though the
profits are far less than the Calumet
and Hecla.

What can be Done with Musical Boxes.

A tourist writes: Almost the last
words I heard before leaving New York
last spring were: Now be sure to see
the musical boxes when you get to
Geneve.' So, when I came to Geneve,
1 went round from one shopto another,
looking at them; but 1 did not see any
thing very remarkable until one day,
sauntering along the promenade, l
dropped myself into shop aud asked
for musical boxes of the pretty, viva
cious little French girl ut the counter.
"a salesman who spoke remarkably
good English showed us, i'll company
with several others, the remarkable fea-
lures of the rooms. By one of the win
dows hung two wicker cages, each con-
tanning canary bird. But what, in the
name of wonder, can that thing sticking
out at the side be Presently up comes
our conductor, and grasping the thing,
commences turning it. Sure enough,
it is key, and he's winding up the lit
tie songster. Each forthwith begins to
sing, futtering Mt the same time its tail
feathers, and turning its head from side
to side in the most tnatural wayimagina-
BILE. This bird would continue, We are
told, to sing at intervals for two hours
Just like a real canary, only better. 1t

next drawn to several bottles and de-
canturs which adorned sideboard.
The guide picked up one OF them, and
on his turning it bottom up, it immedi-
ately began to clay Coming thro' the
Rye It was intended for wine, and
when your guest filled his glass by in.
verting the bottle, his ears would be
saluted with music. 1t would puzzle
any one not in the secret to tell whence
the music came; for the bottle is per.
fectly transparent except one place in
the bottom, which is ground until the
glass becomes Opaque, and in the hol-
low of which the musical box is placed.
"Next came cigar and wineglass

stopped when it was closed. Ladies

nothing of purses that, when you opened
them to take money out, played an ap,

nv or Tommy Dodd.'

Disinfeetion Iof Air OF Sick Rooms.

The three best agents for accomplish
ing ihe disinfection of air after small
pox or other contagious diseases, are
sulphurous acid, iodine, and carboho
acid. The best method of employing
sulphurous acid is to scatter q little
flowers of sulphur upon heated shovel
and carry it about in the room or rooms
which are to be disinfected.
Iodine may be used by simply placing
q little in an open glass or earthen yes

FURs.-In Maine. skins of minks sell at
Sc each, reduction of 81 on the price
of the previous year, while in Ottawa,
Canada, they bring from $2.75 to So.
This difference, the Ottawa Citizen
says, is due to d change in the fashions
of ladies' furs in the large cities of the
United States, brought about through
the rage among servant-girls for "mink
SETS" cat length, " continues the Citi-
zen, "mink became SO common that the
wealthy classes sought for something
more expensive. The South Sea seal
was rich-looking and rare, and soon be-
came popular with the bellies of New
York and elsewhere. II this view be
correct. it seems rather strange that the
prices of mink in Maine should have
gone down only 81, at the very same
time that there had been reduction in
Canada of from 50 to So.
