The Old, Old story.

A disciple of Blackstone here, who
has an extensive and lucrative practice,
concluded two or three months ago to
get married and settle down. As first
step towards the accomplishment of his
purpose he purchased handsome resi-
dence, after which he looked around
among the young ladies of his acquaint-
ance for partner to join him in occu-
plying it. He discovered one that suited
him.. and resolved to, take her for bet
ter or for worse. He commenced suit
and moved for judgment in accord
anoe with the prayer of his complaint,
but although he supported every ale
CATION with incontrovertible evidence,
she denied the motion. The lawyer
was non-suited and taxed with the
costs. Disguised with this ruling he
disposed of his residence, though it is
now reported that he has been granted
a new trial.

Cutting ARRAY.

We are informed that few days ago
one of the owners of the Solid Silver
mine, went to the mine where two men
had been at work. He had twenty
dollar gold piece which he handed to
one of the men with the, request that
he give the other ten dollars. The man
who received the money remarked as
he put it in his pocket, that it would
just pay his bill. The other drawing a
knife, said, "give me ten dollars or l
will cut your heart out, and suiting his
actions to his words drew butcher
knife with which he stabbed the man,
who had the money, twice in the neck
and arm, inficting serious wounds Our
informant had not learned whether or
not the wounds are fatal

NEW ENGLAND OPERATIVES.
How the Fall River Factory People
Live.

Life among the Fall River mill ope-
ratives is pictured by the Boston Herald
as a round of drudgery. They live i'm
crowded and often cherries tenements,
although the common laws of health are
not generally disregarded, and some of
the homes are beautifed with pictures,
carpets and flowers. Men, women and
children work together in the mills,
and the home is little more than a
lodging in most cases. The wives and
mothers are bound to perpetual
slavery. They work as hard as any
body in the MILL and when the mill
day is over, their duties become terri
bly, onerous. Upon reaching home sup,
per is to be swallowed, and then, while
the rest of the family find rest or re-
creation, all there is of housekeeping is
performed BY the wife, occasionally as
sisted by her children, if they are old
enough. There will be no time the
next morning for cooking breakfast,
and it. must be looked. out for over
night. Dinner is to be taken to the
mill, and its substantial materials must
be cooked during the evening. While
the kettle is bubbllng, or the frying pan
sizzling, or the oven baking, or all to-
gether are sending out their heats, the
washing of the bed and personal cloth
ing for the householdmay be performed,
the old mans trousers mended, or the
children's clothes made or repaired. If
one of the brood is sick it may also re-
ceive attention at the same time. The
wife and mother tolls thus for her fam
lily, living life the like of which no
Southern slave ever dreamed about.
Intemperance too commonly adds its
sorrows to the rest.

PARADISE MATTERS.
High-Priced whisky and a Vigilance
Committee.
PARADISE, July Ii, 1879.

PARADISE, July l3, 1879.
Ed. SILVER STATE We have none
but first-class seven-dollar whisky to
dispense to the thirsty here, yet when
it is indnlgediin too freely it is apt to
affect people about the same as regular
benzine, and has different effect on
different individuals. Some get sleepy
under it's influence and innocently re-
cuperate tired nature in bar-room
chairs or on the soft side of plank on
the sidewalk. In others it develops a
fondness for cards, while more wax
wroth under its influence and become
warlike, valiant (?) and chvalrous (?)
Four or five of the latter will suddenly
seize one of the sleepy kind, whether
young or old, and hold him, while an
other beats and kicks him senseless. If
any one demonstrates against this chival-
rous conduct they serve him in the.
same manner. In still another class it
develops an uncomfortable desire to
steal horses, and they enter stables and
enclosures and get away with the best
animals. The people are getting dis
gusted with such business, all of which
is attributed to whisky, and though,it
is not yet generally known, they have
organized strong and determined
Vigilance Committee. The committee
is composed of the best and most law
abiding citizens in the valley, who will
see that their lives and property are
protected in the future. FAIRPLAY..

not know what is going to be done with
them. Princess Sally bankers for pine
nuts, and wants Naches to send her as
many of them as. he can. She cannot
tell when, ifaever, she and. her people
are coming back, as they cannot leave

Disastrous Fire.

BRADFORD, Pa, Dec. 12.-Yesterday
evening about o'clock, Superintendent
Mason, of the Emerson Farm, at Red
Rock, five miles from this city, went
into the derrick of one of Emerson 8
wells, with lantern. The hole from
which large quantity of gas was es-
Gaping had been left open, and the gas
ignited from the lantern. This set the
rig on fire, and the flames quickly com.
municated with 900 barrel tank full of
oil. This exploded, and the contents
ran down the hill setting fire to large
iron tank containing 25,0OO barrels of
oil. This exploded, and Is now burn
Ing. Its course was right towards the
town, burning river of oil flowing lr-
resistlbly on. In short time 1t struck
the town, and swept everything before
1t. The inhabitants had no time to re-
move their goods, and barely escaped
with their lives. Three hundred FAINT
lies are homeless, and there is great suf-
fering among the people.

Is There Such a Law9


Mr.. Peter Cooper Is represented by q
correspondent of the indianapolis Jour-
nal to have lately said that there Is law
in existence prohibiting bankers from
being members of Congress. The inter-
viewer proceeded
"Then,' he struck in, after mo-
ment, "just see how shamelessly the
laws are violated In regard to bankers
not being eligible to hold seats In Con-
gress."
What do you mean p" inquired
"Why, at the Third Congress of the
United States, held in Philadelphia In
1893, the Senate passed resolution rs
follows" (hunting and finding one of
his proofs) "'Any person holding any
stock In any Institution In the nature of
bank for Issuing or dscounting bills
or notes payable to bearer on order, can
not be member of the House whilst he
holds such Office or Stock"
Il never heard of that before,' l
acknowledged " 1t cannot be that 1t be-
came law.O
Certainly it did, he persisted; I" it
passed the Senate with but two dissent
ing votes, and passed the House and be-
came law-here It's, bearing the sig
nature of George Washington, presi-
dent, and John Adams, vice president,
approving of it."
Why" l asked, "when was 1t re-
pealed 2"
1t never was repealed he
exclaimed, land 1t is on the statute books
as law to-day. This is a day when
Congress doesn't obey lawe."
And you are sure you are right In
all thlsp" l repeated.
You can state it, If you wish to, In
my name," he said. "And 1t is vio-
lated every day"
Now, If Mr.. Cooper will examine his
proofs, and refer the public to the dates
at which this legislation took place, he
will set great many inquirers at work
to test the accuracy of this remarkable
statement.

A Singular Occurrence.

The Clearfleld Journal of last week
says
A friend informs us that during the
storm that prevailed about o'clock on
Friday evening, November IA, ball of
lightning, at distance appearing to be
two or three feet in diameter, fell slowly
to the earth, striking and completely
demolishing large pine tree that stood
about l60 yards from Mt. Calm school
house, in Lawrence township, and which
measured two and half feet in diane
ter at the butt, and was q sound, live
tree. The ball exploded upon striking,
and dense smoke arose, but the tree
did not ignite nor was il charred in the
least. Upon examination it was found
that the tree had been completely demol-
ished-literally broken into kindling
woodland the pieces were scattered to "a
great distance in every direction, and
nothing remained of the tree save stub
about six feet high, about the roots of
which the ground was torn up. Ball
lightning is something of rare occur
renee, and an eminent writer on the sub
ject says, "there are but few instances
of this on record, and no very satisfac-
tory explanation has ever accounted for
this curious appearance.

Children Burned 10 Death.

One of those sad accidents that hap
pen occasionally TO shock communities
and call for strict vigilance and careful
ness on the part of parents, occurred in
Memo township, Mifliin county, on
Monday afternoon, and by it Mr.. VIM.
Bordell, laboring man, is rendered
homeless and childless. The particulars
as far as we can learn them are as fol-
lows Mr.. Bordell, with his brother;
was in the mountain cutting wood.
During the afternoon Mrs. Bordell left
the house for short time, leaving their
two children, aged about three and five
years in the house. 1t is supposed that
in some way their clothes took fire, and
the unfortunate little ones perished, the
house being burned to the ground. The
parents in their more than ordinarily
sad bereavement, have the earnest SYM
pathies of the community. = LetUisto,Un

Standing for a Wager.

AT New York Michael Casey, having
no home, was arrested on charge
OF being insane and unable to take care of
himself. The officer said he had found
him in Front street, where he had been

hours. Casey was asked why he stood
