lower part of town last Friday evening, tab
leau's were rendered in an artistic manner.
The most amusing one, was, The Odd
Man The principal characters were a
literary gentleman" gracefully reclining
beside fair-haired maiden; a musical
man." explaining the beauties of Beethoven
Strauss, and other popular composers, to a
handsome little brunette who wears a smile
of perfect contentment; last, but not least,
''vender of pills" contemplating the scene
from one corner of the room with a longing
look. He evidently did not relish the idea
of being the ''Odd Man -" Music hath
charms" &C. 1t is marvellous, too, the
effect it has upon sick folks \ few days
since young lady confined to her room by a
severe headache, forgot her sickness and
rushed to the parlor upon hearing lively
tune played on the piano. But then it was

the top of his blacksmith shop, in the shape
of ventilator. One day last week young
man with beautiful side whiSkers, engaged
in the dry goods business, took a seat upon
one Of the boxes in front Of his place Of busi-
ness. Previous to his doing so, harmless
| inoffensive little bee, slowed himself snugly
away in one of the cracks. He had sat there
but short time when the harmless little bee
thought he would fly out in search of honey.
He made the attempt and finding his way

B. Nicely of Philadelphia, delivered very
interesting lecture on Temperance, to large
and appreciative audience, in the NJ. E.

HYDRoPHoBIA- at Pleasant Valley,
Chestnuthill township, this county, May
5th., Mrs Amanda Schmale of Hydropho-
bia aged about 30 years.
The deceased was daughter of ex- Com
missioner Peter S. Hawk She was bitten
little over 20 years ago by her fathers dog,
which had gone mad, and which at the same
time bit some cattle, hogs, and one horse
belonging to her father We learn that the
services Of the famous Doctor Saylor were
secured for the daughter, and that he also
prescribed for the horse, which did not go
mad Nothing being done for the cattle
and hogs, they all went mad a few days after
being bitten.
This case is one of extreme singularity,
showing that the victim had carried the viris
in her system for over twenty years, with
out any sign of Hydrophobia manifesting
itself until about the last of April when she
was taken with fit, and from that time she
remained dangerously i'll of Hydrophoba
until Saturday night, May >, inst, when ii
was thought the crisis had passed and that
she probably would recover, but on Monday
4th, inst. she suddenly grew worse and after
terrible suffering, died the next day.

PATENTS ISSUED. the list of Pat
ents issued from the United Staes Patent
Office, to citizens of this State, we fad the
following: Portable Sharpening Machine
Gelston Sanford, Stroudsbrig. Application
filed February 26, 1874. Patent granted
April 81, 1874.
With this machine farmers boy can
grind moving machine knife more accurate
and in half the time it can be done on a
stone. 1t requires no water and does not
effect the temper of the knife or boy. The
rest is instantly adjusted at the commence
ment without screws) so as to give uniform
bevel to all the sections, the belt always re-
tains its shape like file, so that the base Of
a section can be ground as readily as the
point; and as it grinds nearly at right angles
with the section it produces a better edge
than though it ground in line with it. 1t is
portable, weighs but thirty pounds complete.
So it can be taken to the field if necessary.
1t is not alone designed for moving machine
knives, but sythes and other tools can be
ground or polished with equal facility.
