A Huge Beer Product.

The Reading Eagle says: Our neigh
boring counties are making estimates
of their malt liquor production of last
year, and if the following figures are
reliable the Berks county brewers are
in advance on the production of last
year. Lancaster county is set down for
$4,000 barrels, Schuylkill county, 3d.
600; Luzerne county, 5000, and by a
careful estimate Berks county can be
set down at 35, 900 barrels.
The crops furnishing the basis for
malt liquors are said to have failed last
year, and as a consequence of this a
majority of the brewers have announced
an advance of one dollar per barrel.
Last year the average sum received
per barrel was $40, which would make
the gross wholesale receipts about
$35O,0OO
At present the brewers are engaged
in filing their mammoth ice refrig-
orators. They are otherwise busy at
brewing, for this is one of their busiest
seasons.
A reference to the revenue of this
production may be of interest. Take
our produce of last year at 35, 900 bar
rels. This, wholesale, ought to have
commanded $3.50, 900. The retail re,
ceipts for this same amount of malt
liquor may be reckoned in; this way
There are about 500 glasses to the bar
rel; this would make II, 900, 900 glasses,
which retailed at five cents per glass
would make 1915, 900, which is about
the retail profits on the beverage. Du
ring the coming year the wholesale rates
may be increased to greater figure
than now.

Nil Desnerandum.

A real healthy man or woman, is a
rarity and what wonder? when we
realize that it is the custom to overload
the stomach, and then produce chronic
disease by the use of spirituous liquors,
I" Tonics," "Appetizers," " Restora-
tives," etc. Having first produced
disease by indiscretion, the victim
wonders why nothing does him good"
just 80 /; and the reason is that they
all, or nearly all, find basis in alcohol
or POISON. To all thus discouraged,
we can conscientiously say, "make one
more trial" Discard spirituous medi
cines, and give NATURE a chance, aiding
her in the struggle by using one of her
own pure and unadulterated herb rene
dies, in the shape of VINEGAR BITTERs.
The discovereY, DIR. j. WALKER, OF
California, is no pretender, but an
honorable practicing physician, and

Rheumatism, and many other terrible
diseases, are almost Incredible

Already Engaged.

In Cincinnati they tell little story
about Mrs. Chief-Justice Waite. About
month ago, before General Grant had
broached Mr.. Waite's name to the SEN
ate-before anything was thought of
the matter by the Waites, Mrs. Waite
wrote an article on cookery for the Gin
cinnati Gazette. The article was sign
ed " Yankee Cook Girl" 1t was full of
sound suggestions on the cookery ques-
ton, and replete with good advice to
housekeepers. The article from the
Yankee Cook Girl F." arrested so much
attention that finally rich old widower
in Cincinnati wrote to Sam Reed, the
editor, that he would be glad to give
the "Yankee Cook Girl a situation
not as a servant, but she might preside
over his household. In fact, he offered
marriage. Mr.. Reed had to answer in
paragraph that the "Yankee Cook
Girl" was not in the market, she having
got situation in neighboring city.
The people of Cincinnati don't know
oven now that the "Yankee Cook Girl "
was Mrs. Waite, the sensible and prac-
tical wife of the new Chief Justice, and
that her new situation is to be the high
est in the land-chief mistress in Uncle
Sans household of law and justice.

Yesuyius Preparing for an Eruption.

According to various reports from
Italy, it would appear that tourists Wis
iting Naples this winter will enjoy the
superb sight of Vesuvius in state of
eruption. The fiery mountain is cer-
tainly greatly agitated. Professor Pal
mieri (the recognized authority on the
subject), in his latest bulletin, says
that, although no large masses of fame
yet arise from the crater, great puffs of
smoke are continually ascending, some
of them enclosing little tongues of
flame, which are extinguished as they
mount upward. 1t is therefore be-
lieved by the learned professor that
the fused matter which gives rise to the
smoke cannot be at any very great
depth. The principal animation is OBJ
servable in the northwest crater, the
one which is nearest to the observa-
tory. DIR. Palmieri's bulletin dates
some two weeks back, and the cable
has not yet informed us of any erup-
ton, but we may hear of it any day !;
and simultaneously with its announce
ment there will be an hegira of English
and American tourists from all parts of
Europe to the vicinity of the volcano.

The Story of an Owl,

Our old friend, James Case, says the
Bath county, KY, Ne,Os, tells the fol-
lowing strange owl story: 1t seems that
Mr.. James Warner, residing near Mr..
C.'s, has been doing a considerable
amount of trapping for the last few
months. While setting his traps some
time ago, he concluded that he would
bait for large bird which he believed
had been bothering his chicken-roost
of late days. He accordingly did so,
and upon the morning after, upon going
to visit his traps, was much surprised
at finding one of them gone-bait and
trap both gone, and no owl but the
sequel is to come. The other morning,
Mrs. Rogers, who lives some ten miles
away from Mr.. Warmers, hearing some
disturbance in the hon house among
the chickens, arose quickly, and taking
light, went out to see what was the
matter with them, thinking it was
probably fox. By making a careful
and sudden effort, she succeeded in
catching the object, and, to her great
surprise, found it was huge owl. But
the strange part is to come. Attached
to the owl was Mr.. Warmers trap and
about ten inches of chain. 1t seems
that two teeth were broken out of the
steel trap, and just where the teeth
were broken out the jaws Of the trap
had firmly held the leg of the bird, cut
ting all around quite to the bone, but
without injuring the latter. The leg,
however, by this time, was recovered
and well, the wound having had ample
time to cure during the two months
that had passed since the owl first flew
away with the trap. What wonderful
tenacity of life exhibited by the bird
What tortures must have torn the pool
owl as he passed along his way drag
ging the terrible trap and chain!

DICKENS BoYs.-Dickens divided
boys into two categories-mealy faced
boys and beef-faced boys. To this lat
ter complexion must come at last q
youth whose peculiarities form the
subject of a paragraph in a Scotch
paper. A boy twelve years of age has
been found guilty at Campbeltown of
stealing $50 pounds of beef. This
aggregate was obtained by series of
dexterous thefts, carried on 30 systema-
tically and successfully as to produce
something like a panic among the
butchers. Although spies were set to
discover the perpetrator of tb ese raids,
the lad contrived for some time to cut
choice slices at will from the finest
carcasses in the slaughter-house. He
was sent to prison for thirty days, q
victim to a lower form of the passion
for prime beef.

Voting Aid to a Deserving Man.

In 1849, when so many adventurous
spirits took up the cry of Westward,
Ho |" party of seventy, comprising
men, women, and children followed the
star of our empire and faced the dan
gers of the overland route. When near
the end of their journey, and the gold
en- shores of the Pacific seemed almost
beneath the tread of their weary feet,
they were overtaken by one of those
terrible snow storms which two winters
ago blocked the way of the iron horse
on the Union Pacific, and they were
compelled to bivouac in the wilderness.
Intrenched in snow drifts, which formed
rampant around them, more terrible
and secure than the granite bank of
fortress and bastile, days and nights
were spent in this position until their
supplies were all consumed, and not
even horse remained to appease the
cry of hunger. Starvation stared them
in the face, and death in its most fright
full form seemed inevitable. Nothing
remained for them to eat save one of
themselves, and this was finally resolved
upon. Accordingly the largest and
stoutest of the men was selected as the
first victim, and he was seized and
bound to tree and time given him to
prepare for death. In the meantime
the people of California, hearing of the
misfortune which befel the expedition,
endeavored to save them. The Military
Governor sent a company of United
States troops to their relief, but they
failed to find them, and, save the cap
tain and lieutenant, all perished in the
attempt, and the captain subsequently
died from the hardships he had en-
dured. Then the Governor called fol
volunteers, and promised a reward to
those who should be successful. Thirty
six volunteered, but ere the journey
was we'll undertaken, all but one de
clined to go. This was Mr.. Piet1, {
citizen of Illinois, who was successfully
engaged in mining. Taking two Span
ish half-breeds, with cattle and pro
visions, he set out on his almost hope
less expedition, and after enduring ter
rible hardships, heaven and his owl
iddomitable pluck crowned his efforts
with success, and he reached the CAM
in time to save the life of the intended
victim and those of the entire party
whom he piloted in safety to their des
tination. Mr.. Pietri spent some $17,
000-all he had-on the.expedition, ant
now in his old age days he asks hi
country, through Congress, to recon
pense him. The Committee on Claim
unanimously reported the bill, granting
the old man S., 900, and the House, afte
a long debate, almost unanimousl
voted the sum named.
