We find the following in one of the Gin
cinnati dailies of late date "We have be-
fore us clipping from copy of Liberty
Hall. published in this city III 1916, where
a most marvellous phenomenon is related
the name of the physician being given-ot
a Mrs John Kelly, of Mercer county, Pa,
who had just given birth to five children,
that being the second effort of the kind
within twelve months, or TEN children born
within the year. The subsequent record
of Mrs Kelly is not known, but it is easy
to see from whence the Gazette derived its
fecundity of imagination" Who was she
-GreenciIe AdU0Rce.
Mrs Kelly, referred to above, resided in
Lackawannock township. Mrs. Wallace,
now residing in this place, remembers the
circumstance Of the birth Of the ten children
very well, having been present on both oc-
casiions. DIR. Magofin, Of Mercer, was the
physician Mrs. Kelly died about year
after this event, but in the meantime had
twins, having given birth to twelve children
within twenty months Mr.. Kelley is still
living, and now resides in Sharon.--Sh0rps-

A Wyoming Ball.

Miss, from Wilder's gulch, says a
reporter describing a f;ir-western ball, was
elegantly attired in handsome buff gros-
grained buckskin dress, with army blanket
overskirt, bottom looped up with buckskin
strings cut bias. Hair dressed la Red
Cloud, in which was twined few sprigs
of sage brush, the whole secured behind in
a bunch with handsome pin made with a
pine splinter and a buffalos ear. She wore
an elegant mountain cat-skin cap, festooned
with antelope tails, secured under the chain
with rattlesnake skin. Her feet were
encased in buckskin moccasins ornamented
with beads and soldiers buttons. She
created big sensation as she entered the
hall hanging upon the arm of Mr.. Ill. Bar
ton, of Hallville, who was dressed in the
style of his locality-buckskin breeches in
boots. hunting shirt of the same, ornamen-
ted with beads and tobacco juice, an army
belt Of the latest pattern around his waist
securing a pair of six shooters and a huge
bowie knife, which set off his gallant figure
to good advantage. Envious glances from
both sexes followed this handsome couple,
round the hall Several ladies and gentle
men from the mining districts were pre-
sent and expressed themselves well pleased
with the manner in which the party was
conducted. Their frequent exclamations
of delight, such as "red hot, you bet,
saint it fruit, though" "hoop Ia" etc,
plainly indicated that they were enjoying
themselves 10 tho best possible manner.

Hydrophobia.

No one, remarks the Lancet, conversant
with newspaper literature but must have
been struck with the great number of
deaths from hydrophobia recorded dur
ing the last three years in this country.
From Sheffield we have an account of a
man dying last week of the disease, in
horrible agonies, while at about the same
period presumable rabid dog ran amuck
among the inhabitants of Huddersfield,
biting no less than six persons Five of
these were Immediately taken to the in
firmary, where their wounds were eau
terized with nitric acid and nitrate of silver
The ANIMAL large sheep dog-was killed
and an examination of It's body brought to
light a circumstance which leads us TO think
it possible that the dogs violence was due
solely to irritation, and not to rabies In

pin was found near the pyloric end, with
its head buried in the coats of the stomach,
the point having penetrated through into
the cavity, where about half an inch of it
was free. AS regards the prophylactic
measures to be resorted to in cases similar
to that which we have just recorded, we
are sorry to have to confess that the ar
mament of medical science offers no weapons
capable of counteracting the dire effects of
true rabies. Complete excision of the in
jured part Immediately after laceration has
been advocated by Mr.. Youatt and others
whose experience gives weight to their
opinions, while the pathological condition
of the brain and medulla after death would
suggest depletion after suspicious bites

Word of Caution There is no safety in
taking the bills of the Usage National
Bank of Iowa, without the strictest scruti-
ny. Nine thousand dollars in s5 bills were
stolen from the bank prior to being signed
by the proper officers. The bank and the
Comptroller of the Currency refuse to re-
deem these bills. The Treasury numbers
(top of the right hand cerner) are $50, ,958,
to 551 ,407. The bank numbers just over
the Cashiers signature are all over 1850
and these numbers afford the only means of
detection. Thus national bank notes print
ed from general plate and for which the
Comptroller of the currency holds national
stock as security may be worthless in the
hands of an innocent holder.

They were absent about two months and

cemetery was cup up into building lots, the
undertakers had gone to making fddles,
