The performances of the Centennial Dramat-

Wednesday evenings were well attended, by
appreciatve audiences. The plays were well
rendered, though hardly up to the standard OF
the Troupe which arose probably from the
fact that hardly enough time was given for pre-
paration to enable the players to learn their
parts perfectly. We are not informed as TO
the amount of the receipts

There are some lessons to be learned fiom
the result of this election, the first of which is
that when the substantial voters of the town
concentrate their votes ON their regular candi.
dates they can elect them in spite of factions
that assail the polls on all occasions The
conviction may be forced upon certain parties
that n good deal of precious time is wasted in

A Spider in the Stomach.

A short time since young lady, a resi-
dent OF Brooklyn, Pa, experienced creep
ing sensation in her nose after she had re
tired for the night, aud all efforts to re-
move the annoyance were without the de-
sired effect, the difficulty remaining for
several days, merely changing to location
further up in the nostril. At length it
seemed to pass down into the throat, caus-
ing choking sensation. Immediately af-
ter Its disappearance the victim experienced
actute pains in the stomach and called medi-
cal assistance in vain, the only thing that
gave her any relief being copious doses of
brandy, which failed to produce any of the
usual effects. Finally severe vomiting en-
sued, after one whole nights suffering and
the patient giving up hopes of life, the
cause of the trouble was removed, and an
exmination proved it to be a small particle
of blood and matter, in the center of (which
was common sized black spider.
