Dads Distant Relations.

A FARMERS wagon, in which were
IA seated family of eight, drove up
to house on Boston street, and leaving
his team at the curbstone, the farmer
knocked at the door, drummed on the
windows, and seemed determined to get
in at every harzard. When all efforts
had failed he returned to the wagon,
hitched his horses, and the family sat ON
the grass to wait.
A lady who had watched the per-
formance, passed around the corner and
suddenly discovered the boy whose pa
rents lived in the house.
Here-you-there's whole family
trying to get into your house ~ he
shouted
"Hush = shut up!n whispered the
other,
But they are VISITORS" continued
the other.

the hiding boy didn't nam and /
see 'em drive up, and didn't we scoot
out of the back door as the feller came
through the gate? Pm here and MANS
over in that house, and we feel like some
one ought to boot dad all over town.
Why? What did your father do ?"
''What did he do Z? Why, he was
out in the country buying poultry and
eggs, and he stopped at farmhouse,
made 'em believe he was distant rela-

He came home and told it as big joke,

Nary sign," replied the other, az
he climbed the fence.
"Well, let 'em stick. Nam won Z

turns out Black Friday for dad, it'll

Two Types Of Life In Nevada.

In the Carson "Tribunen of last
week we find this little item: Judge F..
X. Betchel arrived on the stage this
afternoon from Bodie. He is enroute to
the scene of his boyhood days in Penn
sylvania. The Judge has resided in
Bodie since 1862. His implicit faith in
the mines has been finally rewarded,
and he returns to his Eastern home o.
wealthy man.
On Friday last man named Carroll
ton, here in Virginia City, fifty years of
age, blew his brains out. A day or two
previous he remarked to friend that
he had daughter, eighteen years of age,
to educate whom he had sent money
East; that his daughter had recently
married gentleman there that they
were coming here to see them, and that
he would rather die than have his
daughter come here and find him poor.
He was discharged few days since from
one of the mines he had drank heavi-.
ly for two or three days, and on Friday
borrowed pistol from friend and, bid
ding him good-by, turned around and
blew his brains out. The cases of Betchel
and of the suicide make between them a
pretty good history of this country In
the Consolidated Virginia office yester-
day we saw half million dollars worth
of silver bricks, and outside sat beggar

explained TO Clerk Rechtin that the
twain who were with him wanted u
marriage license, and that at once.
The demand was complied with, and
after the rejected lover had bestowed u
blessing on the couple, left the room and
proceeded to Rev. Pohlmeyers church
on Main street and McMicken avenue,
where Wilhelm and Lizzie were firmly
bound in those bonds (which no man
should rend asunder." Lover No. did
not seem to take the matter to heart
much for he acted as groomsman for the
happy couple, and when he found that
they were man and wife, departed, after
paying all the expenses incurred by the
newly married couple. - Cincinnati Star.

A Generous Lover.


Elizabeth Hanes is sprightly young
German girl, who, few weeks ago left
her dear Fatherland and crossed the
broad Atlantic to find home in this
city.
While on board the ship she fell in
love with a young German, who was en-
dowed with considerable of this worlds
goods. Her dream of love did not last
long, however, for she had another lover
waiting for her, who had sent word to
Germany for her to come over and Join
him. On her arrival, the lover whom
she met on the ocean was forsaken for
her former swain, whose name is Will
helm Edmund Schuman. An explana-
ton ensued between the trio, and the
result was that Wilhelm was conceded
the right to bear off his dear little Lizzie.
The other lover, however, accompan-
led them to this city, and last W eek,
throwing away all fond hopes of being
united to his darling, escorted Lizzie
and Wilhel m to the Probate Court. He

THE TIMES, NEW BLOOMFIELD, Pa JANUARY /, 1878.

Farewell, sacrifice you to Jemlma,"
and the splendid boots were gone.
For awhile the animal ceased gnawing
the tree and gnawed the boots, Josh
cursing inwardly the while. At last
the gnawing recommended.
6 Blast him he amt satisfied with
eight dollars worth of leather, so I'll
have to give him seventeen dollars
worth of cloth, =" away went his coat it
was soon followed by his vest and
stockings, and Joshua declared that his
unmentionable raiment" would follow
the rest, at which declaration Jemima
blushed and said:
ooh Joshua"
Blasted If / don't Jemima," he
spoke determinedly, and would no doubt
make his word good.
But the vest satisfied the animal be-
meath the tree, and few hours later
morning dawned. The lovers, for they
were such now descended the tree, when
10! to their astonishment they beheld
Jamima's pet calf chewing at Joshua's
coat. They realized all in an instant. 1t
was the calf which had followed them
and not wolves. The gnawing they
heard was the harmless animal chewing
at some undergrowth which grew plenti-
fully around. Josh's eyes filled with
tears when he looked around. There
lay the boots, but ruined forever; here
the coat and vest chewed into pulp.
They said nothing, but proceeded to
the Pineapple mansion, when they told
a doleful story about being treed by
wolves; how Joshua had sacrificed his
clothes to save their lives; how he
slaughtered near forty of the ravenous
animals, &C., &c.
Old Pinapple said such bravery and
devotion should not go unrewarded, and,
placing Jemima's hand in Johns, told
him to take her as his mate,
p. S.-They were married, and now
live in little hut with one room and a
garret, near Fleaburg, now a flourishing
burg" on Turtle Creek.
N. B.-Jemima's pet calf was never
seen after the night it treed the devoted
couple. We rather guess it didn't.

1T is NOW an acknowledged fact that Con-
sumption can be cured. It has been cured in
very great number Of cases (some of them
apparently desperate ones) by schenck's
Pulmonic Syrup alone, and In others by the
same medicine In connection with schenk's
Sea Weed Tonic and Mandrake Pills, one or
both, according to the requirements of the
case.
The old supposition that Consumption Is
incurable," for many years deferred Physicians
from attempting to find a remedy for that
disease, and patients afflicted with 1t recon-
ci,ed themselves to death without and effort
being made to save them from doom which
was considered inevitable.
DIR. schenck himself was supposed at one
time to be at the very gate of death, his
Physicians having pronounced his case hope
less and abandoned him to his fate: he was
cured by the aforesaid medicines and afterward
enjoyed uninte rupted good health for more
than forty years. Thousands of people have
used DR.. Schenck's preparations with the same
remarkable success.

An Ignorant Cuso But Very Friendly.

IS rs YOU the editor?'
L The writer looked up from the
desk on two small gamins with dirty
faces, who had entered the sanctum and
stood nervously twitching their ragged
caps before him.
Yes, sir. What do you want
"We belong to the Silver Stars. I'm
ketcher and he's shortstop. And we
walked them fellers, didn't we, Bill?
You bet," responded Bill. "Why
didn't you say so before? The Irish
Boys is good-enough club, but by
Jove, give me the Silver Stars.'n
Why, I'm delighted to meet both Of
you," and the editor rose up, shook both
of them warmly by the hands, and
yelled for the printers devil to bring the
gentlemen chairs.
The two redoubtable Silver Stars
looked at each other very much per-
picked, and seemed at loss whether to
sit down or to dash out of the office. FL
nally they adopted the former plan, and
pulling their chairs over near the door,
so as to be ready to dart out at the first
sign of hostilities, sat suspiciously eve
ing the editor, who entrenched himself
behind mass of paper, pencil in hand.
"Now, then, tell me all about the game,
and I'll write it down.
Well, the Irish Boys they wus a
braggin' they could beat us, and we said
we had twenty-five cents that they
couldn't. We played 'em and give 'em
six goose eggs"
80! now, boys" said the editor,
"don't tell any lies. 1t is wrong to lie.
Where could you get goose eggs this time
of the year ?"
The catcher and the shortstop of the
Silver Stars looked at the editor in
amazement, and then seemed to be
mentally deciding that he was an in
fernal idiot.
We mean to say," continued the
catcher of the Silver Stars, who was first
to recover from the shock to which he
had been subjected, that we white
washed 'em."
vs. ScS3 5eiu thC cuilOT, VIII u SUD-
den burst of intelligence; you put white
wash over them until they looked like
goose eggs. BY Jove, that was a good
idea."
No. said the catcher of the Silver
Stars, with rising ire, we skunked 'em,
you know-skunked 'em."
"Skunked 'em-what do you mean
by that ?"
"We Chicagoed 'em = GIN EN- no
runs"
80, now see," said the editor, al
most bursting into roar Of laughter at
the look of intense relief which came
over the face of the two Silver Stars

"We got right on ter the balls of the
pitcher of the Irish Boys in the last
innins, and we pounded the life out of
him."
Hold on" said the editor, rapidly
writing. "The Silver Stars stood on
the ball in the last inning, and almost
killed the pitcher of the Irish Boys
whenhe tried to get it,"

The Death Of a Monkey A Remarkable
Scene.

"a 7 NEVER saw such a thing in my
Il life," said James Donohue, the
night watchman of the Central Park
Museum, New York. "On Tuesday,
Zip, one of Mr.. Barnum's monkeys, fell
suddenly and dangerously i'll. He was
great favorite with his companions
their leader in mischief Superintendent
Conklin examined him and said he
would die. We got bed of straw and
cotton for him"
At II o'clock 1 went to the cage. Usu-
ally the monkeys at night sit huddled
together, sound asleep; but this time
they were all wide awake, sitting silent
and moveless, watching Zip's dying
agonies, Zip lay in u corner sobbing
and moaning. Jack and Pete, the two
trick monkeys, were at his side, Jack
and Zip's head resting on his bosom,
while Pete every now and then dipped
his paw in the milk and and wet Zip's
lips.
But there's strange thing about it
yet," Mr.. Donohue continued; cat
midnight Zip died. Then came what
my partner Reilly, and Barnum's men,
say they never saw the like of. AS Zip's
head fell limp in the arms of Jack, he
gave n little low squall and Pete sprang
to his side. Pete looked at Zip, lifted up
one of his paws, tapped him gently on
the breast, put his ear to his heart, raised
his head, and then gave shrill squeal.
Jack in answer dropped Zip just as
naturally as human being would at the
first intimation that the form he held
was dead. Pete was the first to recover
himself. Slowly he approached Zip, ex-
amined him closely, raised him in his
arms, dropped him hard on the floor of
the cage, and ,as Zip didn't move, sprang
to the uppermost perch. Wasn't that
strange 2''
The reporter assented.
"Then, sir" continued Mr. Donohue,
"came the most extraordinary thing
ever witnessed in the park. The mon
keys set up the most piercing screams
The baby monkeys pressed close to their
mothers, and the females close to the
males. All chartered and chartered, and
pointed to poor Zip. Finally Pete and
Jack, followed by all the Others, sprang
to the bottom of the cage. They were
all silent now, moving slow, and in the
form of circle they gradually came
nearer and nearer. Then hugging close,

mained watching the body, and never
saw wake that could beat that one for
earnestness and sympathy.

AFaIthfuI Dog's Reward.

A gentleman who lives in Vernon
county tells remarkable story of the
sagacity of dog which accompanied
him on his travels. While in the Short
creek timber, on his way to Joplin, the
dog jumped and caught the horse by the
bridle-rein. Mr.. Ewing drove the
animal off, but 1t persisted in catching
the horse by the reins, until the gentle
man concluded it must be mad. Under
the impulse of the moment he pulled
his revolver and shot the animal, which
then ran back along the road over which
he had come. In few minutes MT.
Ewing missed his overcoat, which had
been tied to the saddle. He turned back
to find it, and after riding about mile,
not only found his coat, but his faithful
dog, which was lying on the garment
