TsE dry cold of yesterday was well cal
eulated to give spirited appearance TO all
of the grand parade that preceded the in
suguration of Governor Hoyt. There was
no languid stepping, as is sometimes the
case in parades in the hot month of July
or the waria month of August. The troops
all felt the bracing influence of the zero
Weather, and marched with the finest of
martial bearing, 1t must have been 4 de
light TO the eyes of the old and new Gov
ernors, soldiers as they are, to witness such
a demonstration. SIX TO eight thousand
were in line, and people from every section
of the State We're present.
Hoyt and Hartranft differ greatly in ap-
pearance. speech and manner. Hoyt is a
blonde, and il speech, and in manner is
emphatic or mild, without any artificial re-
straint. He is Of good stock, and well bred.
Hartranft is dark in appearance, brunette,
and in speech and manner slew, aud delib-
crate. He looks like the type Of Spaniard
that has sprung from cross with invading
Moors. He has the conscientious regard
for duty that characterized his ancestors,
the Scbwenckfelders, large numbers of
whom settled in the Province of Pennsyl-
vania at an early day
At 10 O'Clock The procession, that had
been forming all morning, was reviewed by
the new Governor, after which the line OF
march was taken up. At u O'Clock, noon,
the oath Of efice was administered, and the
inaugural address was delivered from the
porilco of the Capitol, on the east side,
facing the Susquehanna river.
During the afternoon the Legislature re-
elected Senator Don Cameron to the United
States Senate.
The receptions in the evening we're largely
attended, and eli Harrisburg was happy.

TIE LIFE FOR NE.

You may talk of love and of happiness too,
OF marriage and so forth, as most people do,
But want life that IS careless and free,
So an old maids life is the life for me.
For she has no husband to fret or TO scold,
If the toast is too hot, or the coffee too cold
Nor children who always get scratches and
bumps,
Or find themselves always in danger OF
mumps.
Her pleasures are many, her cares are but
few,
And always size does what she wishes to do,
And there is no one to bother her as all hus-
bands will
When she gets a new bonnet and gets a new
bill.
Be marriage for those who prefer to be bound
With the hard chains of wedlock their men,
bers around;
But give me a life that is careless and free,
So the life of an old maid is the life for me.

BRITISH GRAIN TRADE.

LIVERPOOL, Jan. IL. - A leading grain
circular says: "In the home wheat trade
there has been no variation. Arrivals of
coast are chiefly held above the market
The business in wheat on the spot is quiet ;
sellers accepting rather less money. This
market to-day was steady at Tuesdays cur
rencies, except for Californian, for which a
concession of penny was made. Flour
was in fair request at previous rates. Old
corn was shade easier; new was scarce,
and fully sustained last prices"

GA DREAM"

Somebody came in dream last night,
Somebody fair and sweet
The air was full of the violet's breath
That bloomed about her feet.
Somebody whispered, "f love you, dear,
Somebody kissed me thereI
Somebody's voice was gentle and low,
There were flowers in her hair.
Somebody held in her hands my hands,
Said that she missed me, too.
1t was summer, with birds and roses,
The sky was summer blue.
Alas, for my beautiful dream,
Now that daylight Is here;
The winter snowiiaKes are falling fast,
And somebody is not near.
How could | help but be happy, dear,
And sigh for my dream anewi
Listen, I'll tell you what made me glad:
The somebody looked like you.

The following is reproduced from the
Perry county court proceedings, as pub
Hshed last week in the Bloomfield .Adrocdte
Jacob W. Spangler VS.. The Borough OF
Bloomfield. One dark night in March last
Jacob W. Spangler, who was on visit TO
Bloomfield, STEPPED off the pavement and
fell into deep cellar on DR.. Sweeney's
property on the corner of Carlisle aud Main
streets, where the buildings had been de-
stroyed by fire in December, 1873. He
claims to have received serious injuries,
and he brought suit to recover damages
from the borough of Bloomfield for negli
gencc in not having this dangerous pit or
cellar properly guarded or enclosed, SO rs to
ensure the safety of persons passing along
in the darkness. The defendants denied
negligence in the matter, as the excavation
or cellar was on privrte property, and that
the pavement was in good condition, and
that there was light sUfficient for persons
to pass along the pavement without wsnder-
ing TO the side into the cellar. Judge Bu-
cher, who presided in this case, reserved
the question of the law as to the liability OF
the borough in the case, and the jury found
verdict for plaintiff for $500 damages. A
motion was made for a new trial

RlCHFIELD.


Since the erec ton OF the new court house
il has been no uncommon thing for the
clock to get so out of condition as to cease
to keep time. Last week the gas aperatus
also got out Of working order, and was as
persistent in its refusal TO work as the clock
ever had been, and what made il all the
more provoking was the fact, that it was
the occasion OF the meeting of the Lifsrafi
of this county. Ii is probable that no lit
erary convention ever assembled that
thought more of the gas question, than the
convention of last week If il was not the
question TO discuss, il was the question
that presented itself prominently TO every
mind, on Thursday, Friday and Saturday
evenings. What's the matter with the gas 2
Is it in the aperatus Is Il in the compoundi
Is it frost Is it in the water In the name
of common sense, what is the matter with
the gas No one could answer the ques-
tion, and, as a last resort, the party who
put up the aperatus was sent for, aud it is
expected that by and by the gas generator
will be in first rate working order.

Value Of Old Coins.

The trade in old coins is not light
one, nor are it's profits small. Fictitious
values have advanced 100 per cent. III
fvo years and the tendency is still up
ward. In England there is much de.
mand for old American coins, and
collectors average 100 per cent. profit
on their sales. In this country these
coins are becoming very scarce indeed.
The cents and half cents OF 1898, which
belong to the first series of copper coiu-
age in the United States, are in great
demand. A coin of 1857 WAS designed
by Franklin, and is extremely rare. One
OF the silver dollars made in the old
Philadelphia mint in 1894 is in the
British museum, and cost that institution
$1,000. Silver quarter dollars coined
in 1928 '27 are worth $100 each. Silver
half dimes, issued from the mint in
1902, are also at O premium, and all
efforts to obtain any OF them to complete
sets, even at the figure of $780,, have, it
is said, proved futile. Silver dollars of
1904 are extremely scarce, only five, 30
far as known, being in existence. Three
OF these are owned in England, and are
valued at 81, 900 each. Half dollars of
1895 and 1897 coinage are worth $50,
and the same is offered for 1899 cent
or half cent OF 1896. In Philadelphia
lives numismatist who has been in the
business for twenty years. Every sum-
mer he goes to England for two months
and sells the coins he has collected. His
name is we'll known there, and he visits
all the principal towns where he finds
men of wealth willing to pay handsome
prices to add to their store OF old and
rare money.
