A Candy Sellers Respects to the
Times.

To the Editor Of the Star;
On Thursday the Times contained the
following:
"That candy seller on Walnut street, be-
tween Third and Fourth streets, is nui-
sance that should be abated. The police
ought to hand him ill., or something to that
effect"
Now I desire to know whether this candy
seller and his candy are greater nuisance
than the boys hired and placed on the street
corners with the no account Evening Times,
which they are directed to thrust at intelli-
gent people, though they seldom, if ever,
sell one. L. J. BELL Candy Seller.

Old John Barry, that used to live up Lake
Champlain, liked to tell big story. One
evening, sitting in village store, he said
he once drove a horse seventy-two miles in
one day on the ice, when the ice was SO
thin that the water spurted UP through the
holes cut through it by the horses corks.
One of the bystanders remarked that seven
ty-two miles was pretty good drive for one
day. Eyes" said Uncle John, "but it was
a long day in June"

DEATH OF HIGH-PNICED PIGEONs.-Thc
Reading Eagle says: Nine full bred English
carrier pigeons, belonging to VIM. H.. Dickle,
this city, died since Christmas. The last
one for which he paid S25, died last week.
He valued the nine birds at $50. He does
not know the nature of the disease that car
ried them Off They ceased to eat and within
three days were dead. On the coolest day
this winter he sent them by express to
Pottsvile and he is of the opinion that
shipping them away and exhibiting them
at poultry shows caused their death
