A II uskiDg Match.

Early in the fall Mr.. Eli Welsh Of
Mill Creek Hundred, was taken sick
with typhoia fever, which entirely in
capacitated him from attending to the
crop of corn on the farm of Bayard
Derickson which he had put in on
shares, consequently some forty five or
fifty of the neigEbors met one afternoon
and cut the corn and put it in shock,
on the entire thirty acres. Mr.. Welsh
continuing unable to work, the neigh
bors again met some two weeks ago, o,and
husked the corn on the greater part Of
the field, and afterwards some fifty -fv-
of the worknen took supper at the
hous. of william II. Hendr,ckson, with
whom Mr.. Welsh resides, and did am
Pile justice to the many good things
provided. The crop of corn was quite
a heavy one many of the ears being II
to IA inches in length. Such neigh
borly kindness speaks well for the yeo-
men of old Mill Creek and Mr.. W. great
ly appreciates the same.

mtlkmen's Complaint.

Milk,nsn who serve milk in the
lower part of the city complain that
the lights in the vicinity from Poplar
out to Market street are extinguished
at too early an hour. They say that
they are in danger o. molestaton from
the roughs and rowdies who infest that
section. A few mornings ago a milk
man was followed several squares by a
suspicious looking man who watched
him changing money. Fearing that he
meant no good he told the strange man
that if he came any farther he would
get bullet put in him, when he sud
denly disappeared. A lady in that
neighborhood two or three mornings
ago, in crossing street to a store, fell
in the darkness and fractured her leg.
A Lady scared.
On Saturday evening about 8 O'Clock
young lady named Miss Carney
came out of Rile's store at the corner Of
Ei,hth and Madison streets, and as she
was going down Madison, she was fol-
lowed by we'll dressed man carrying
a cane. Fearing the man who was
following her she quickened her foot
steps, but the man also hurried and
catching up with her caught her by the
arm, when breaking away from him
Miss Carney screamed "murder," and
ran into Mr.. Dougherty's store at
Seventh and Madison streets, and her
pursuer finding that the people had be-
come alarmed, ran at a rapid rate up
Seventh street.

The barracks near the Herculaneum
Gate were undoubtedly the head quarters
of the defenders Of Pompeii. Four
skeletons were found in the guard-room
with their legs fastened in iron stocks.
In the sleeping-apartments there were
numerous helmets Of bronze and iron,
with bolts, lances, swords, leather belts,
etc. In the rooms Of the officers above
we're found helmets of various kinds,
with swords, as well as various articles
of female ornament Of the richest kind,
leading to the superstition that the wives
Of the officers lived in the barracks with
them. Among the female ornaments
found were two necklaces Of massive
gold, one of which was set with twelve
emeralds; several gold rings, earrings
and bracelets containing precious
stones, gilt pins for the hair, and chests
Of fine linen and cloths of gold. One
Of these upper rooms contained eighteen
skeletons of men, women and children.
The total number of skeletons found in
the barracks was sixty-three.

in the cars wenIing our way around

preferred to wait for lunch until we got

As We skirted around the base Of We
suvius, stopping at Terra del Annun-

we noticed that the volume Of smoke
arising from the north of the crater Is
more dense and darker than it appears
from Naples. We were told that &C

for two or three weeks past, especially
On dark nights, which Is the usual pre-
cursor Of an eruption. Although some
one, and perhaps all these towns, are
liable to find Themselves in the track Of

sIIk Culture in Psnnsylvania.

A number Of prominent citizens in
Philadelphia have formed q company to
attempt silk culture in Pennsylvania.
They propose to purchase q tract Of
land upon the Pennsylvania Railroad
for silk farm, on which they will es-
tablish q school ind erect forty cot
tages, each Of which latter Is to be sur
rounded by mulberry trees. Compe-
tent teachers are to be engaged to In

branches Of the silk industry. The
company have already made expert
ments with the silk worm in different
parts Of the State Of Pennsylvania; and
the success attending these was such as
to tempt them 70 make the present ven
ture. They have also been encouraged
BY experiments made In the more south
erly States. In Alabama, for example,

of 500 silk worms silk for twenty spools
