QUEER things happen in Brooklyn.
/ While the friends of Mrs. Catharine J. Nasle
! were assembled at the Morgue, having made
oath 10 the identity Of her dead body, which
/ had been fished out Of the river, they were
confronted by the lady herself clothed IN ilesh
/ and in her right miad. She walked away
/ from the Morguc with the man who had come
/ there with her coffin prepared to give her
/ decent burial. The corpse greatly resembled
4 Mrs. Nagle, except in the color of the hair
/ but this difference had not been observed by
/ the people who came 10 identify the remains
at the Coroner's inquest. SO much for human
/ testimony.

A New YORK paper commenting on
the distracted condition of the Democratic
party in that State SAYS: 'Mr. Barnum, the cele-

rats and doves. Animals naturally enemies to
each other NAV be brought to live together IN
perfect peace The instinct which prompts
them to destroy one another may be overcome,

done with Wild animals, possessed Of but very
limited intelligence, cannot the Sauae thlng De

THE ill-feeling between Germany
and Russia is assuming more formidable pro-
portions than mere newspaper war. At the
same time we are informed the Austro-G -German
relations are exceedingly friendly, while the
Austro- Russian relations are right the reverse:
In other words, the cable dispatches would
have us believe that Austria and Germany are
about ready to pounce upon distracted Kussia
and pound her. The Colossus OF the North
having proved in the Tureo-Russian war to be
a weak-kneed wabbling Colossus, and having
since said war become still more weak-sneed
and waDbling, it is only natural that his anna
BILE neighbors should be seized with'a desire to
lick him.

4 STARTLING rumor came IN from
Br Ter county, one morning last week. 1t was
TO the effect that murder had been committed
near Saxonburg, and market woman had seen
two men carrying the dead body away In a
buggy One of our local correspondents, who
is always on the alert for an item, started on
the trail; and after patiently following the
story from mouth to mouth, he finally ran down
the yeritable market woman who had originated
the story. What she said was that she had
seen three men in buggy on the Saxonburg
road and one of them was dead drunk. From
this the story of the dead man and murder
grew People often wonder why things are
not always correct in the paper. And the news
paper man wonders how he ever gets anything

CONSIDERABLE dissatisfaction is eX-
pressed in some parts of our county at present
with the operations of our patent laws. Many
persons, but more especially farmers, VINO are
Obliged to make use of many of those small
matters which might come under the head OF
patented tri1es, are continually threatened with
claims and suits at law for their enforcement by
patent agents or owners of patents, until their
patience has become exhausted. In this way
strong popular feeling adverse to patent laws
has arisen; and it needs great prophetic
capacity TO prognosticate an early reform IN
some manner of the present law of patents,
under which thing that is old and antiqul-
dated worn out and discarded by our fathers
perhaps may be patented and made source
of trouble. Cases of this nature have become
so frequent that il has passed into byword,
and the exacting patent agent, with his claims
on fences, gates, harfoWs, churns and other
such matters, takes rank with those bothersome
individuals who, styling themselves "agents,"
often develop into swindlers
