Two NOTABLE PHU.ADELPHIA INSTITUTIONS.
We will next week lay before our readers a
doubIe-column advertisement OF Mr.. John
wanamakers Grand Depot, corner Of Market
and Thirteenth streets, Philadelphia. Mr.. Wan
anaker is one Of tbs largest advertisers in the
country, and by a judicious use OF printers ink
coupled with honesty, intelligence and liberal
ity his business transactions, has built IN for
himself "a trade which stands unrivuied at home
or abroad. His two establishments, the Grand
Depot and Oak Hall, the former, as already no
ted, at Thirteenth and Market and the latter at
Sixth and Market streets iD said city, are
known to everybody who can read or hear, and
his goods sell everywhere. Take Cambria
county FOR an example. The name Of John
wanHmaker is n household word with ", and
highly hOnored and respected, while his goods
are to be found in nearly every dOmicil. Those
whoEbave never visited the Grand Depot can
have but a faint conception OF its immensely.
II covers all of two acres with the entire space
Gled to OVERLOOKING with dry goods and thUus-
ands of other articles OF every description
The immense business is parceled out iato thir-
+ ty-fuur departments, each devoted to q special
ty, and through this system it becomes sdmit-
tedly the best shoppiuE-placc in the United
States. In addition to ali this is his price-list,
which ia a ucvcr-endiug wonder in the Irvness
OF It's figures, and is as fixed and unalterable as
the laws of the Madcs and Persiaus. There is
one price, and one only, for each and every ar
ticle,yaud while it is absolutely impossible 10
buy chea per, il even So cheap, at any other es-
ta5lishmsnt, il is equally impossible. either at
/ the Grand Depot or Oak Hall, to buy at less
! price than is marked in plain figures on the
goOds. Add to this the fact that Mr., Wauama-
kers stock is always fresh, and the reason
! why it requires Il small army OF statesmen tC
meet the demands Of the purchasing public be-
. comes apparent to all. As we said before, the
f big advertisement will appear next week, and

their places Of abode.
Already quite number OF people have fitted
from oUe house to another and more are con
templatlng a ike movement during the coming
week. Mr.. Ferdinand Sier has moved his fam
lily into the dwelling attached to the storeroom
of Messrs. Maucbers& weakland, and will ere

Mr.. Scott Williams, the enterprising gentle
man who is preparing for the publication of a
paper in this place to be called the Northern
Cambria Nstrs, is here with his family and is
busly at work setting up his press, fixtures g,
etc. He proposes printing the f1rst number of
his paper on or about the 10th of the ecming
month.
Mr.. Williams is meeting with unexpected en-
couragemeat IN his pew venture, and enter
taius, with evident reason, great hopes Of max
ing his paper permanent success.
With sincere regret we notice the fact that
the respected father OF Mr.. Julius Stitch Is lying
at the point of death, with no possible hope for
his recovery. Mr. AIoysious Swope of Chest
township, is also seriously i'll, his disease at
present assuming the nature Of dropsy.
Sylvester Buck, son Of Hon John Buck, met
with a painful accident one day last week while
engaged in saving at the steam mill In this
place. His right hand came in contact with the
circular saw, and tn rec Of his fingers were al
most entirely severed from the hand.
We are glad to note, however, that amputa-
ticn, which at first it was feared would have to
be resorted TO, has not been found necessary.
1t is not yet too late to mention the fact that
We have recently parted with two of our prom

themselves to the State of Ohio. We refer to
Messrs Demetrius Bearer aud Luke weakland.
That both may p rosper IN their new homes is

Mr.. Michael StibOisky died at his resi-
deuce in Croyle township, this county, last
Sunday. He was a native Of Poland but

amusing. His little daughter Naggie-she
was little then, but is a woman grown now

house Of the good Sisters Of ST Joseph in
this place-vas also a witness in that case
Ream and Riddle went clear, but afterwards
mainly through the strenuous efforts of the
lamented Philip 8 Noon, Esq, then Dis
triCt Attorney, Daniel Buser and John B.
Houser were found guilty Of the crime and
paid the penalty on the gallOws- Maggie
was the only witness Of the murder. She
did nos exactly see the blows given which
caused death, but, being close by Polly Paul's
home at the time, she heard loud words and
blows, and saw :wo men running hurried!y
hitheU and thither. She hid behind stump,
and thereby undoubtedly saved her own life.
She was unable 70 identify the parties but

A Remarkable Stone.

A remarkably curious stone has lately
been discovered in the Eternal City, on
which is engraved an inscription Of the
time of Adrian. 1t concerns a circus
driver of the name of Crescens, who, in
less than two years, realized consider
able fortune by the victories he obtained
in the public games. Crescens was of
Moorish origin, and was twenty-five
years old when he contested for the first
time at the fetes given on the birthday
of Nerva. On that OCCASION he was the
twenty-fourth to start, circumstance
which seems to indicate that system
even then existed somewhat analogous
to what we now call ,handicapping, as
the car-driver, or the animals he drove,
had probably previously gained some
victories, or were considered as too pow
:erful for the rest of the competitors.
Crescens has bequeathed to posterity the
names Of the horses which contributed
to his victories. They were Circus,
Acceptor, Delicatus and Colynus, appel
lations which refer to the qualities or
exploits of the animals. As we have
mentioned above, Crescens was only
twenty-five when he commenced his ca
reer, which terminated two years later
He took part in six hundred and eighty
six conte ,ts; he gained forty-seven first
prizes, one hundred and thirty second,
and one hundred and eleven third.
Only on one occasion was he placed in
advance of his rivals, and thirty times,
when he was put in the last rank, he re-
gained the advantage his competitors
had received. He won in money one
million five hundred and sixty-eight
thousand three hundred and forty six
sesterces, about three hundred and
twelve thousand francs, estimating the
sesterce at twenty centimes.

How Candies Are Made,

1t is an easy matter to drop luscious
chocolate cream or a crystal candy into
ones mouth, but the process by which
the morsel is produced is not SO small
matter. Take a chocolate cream. for
instance. First, a half barrel of sugar
is put into a cauldron with a little
water, and placed over slow fire until
it assumes a paste-like consistency.
Then it is put on marble slab and
worked like butter until it is smooth
of all cream candies. The favoring is
put in afterwards = vanilla, orange,
lemon, strawberry, pineapple, anything,
in fact. that may be desired. The choc-
olate used comesin huge cakes, is melted,
and the creams covered with it by dip
ping them in rapidly,
The crystallizing of candies requires
more work, and it is in this that espe-
cially prepared apparatus is used. First,
the form of the candy is secured by
holdings in finely ground starch. Then
the candy, favored and prepared &C
cording to taste, is reduced to syrup
and poured in the molds, and placed in
closet to cool slowly. These closets
are kept at certain temperature, and
| it requires from three hours to several
days to bring the candy to the right
consistency. When it is taken out the
starch is removed with brush, and the
candies are ready for sale. Each kind
requires a different mode of treatment,
and the work occupies the entire time
of a " Professor of Confectionery" and
four assistants to supply the demand.
Candies may be bought of large whole.
sale manufacturers as cheaply as they
are made by smaller dealers, but greater
purity and freshness are obtained by
manufacturing them, and the favoring
and supply can be regulated to meet the
| demand.

Where are the Mothers.

"a Teacher" writes to the Providence
Journal: Every stormy day forces the
above question upon the teachers. We're
it not so common, it would be a matter
of astonishment for the teacher to see
little children come to school through
the storms of snow unprotected. They
are sent from home when there is no
possibility of their reaching the school
house without their feet and ankles be-
coming thoroughly wet. They often are
sent in the storm without umbrellas or
proper overlooking. In most Of the
school buildings the registers are so
located as.to afford no good opportunity
for drying the feet, and if it were other
wise, it is dangerous to dry clothing
upon the person. Some parents seem to
think that the teachers can remedy all
this at school. 1t is simply impossible.
Pupils who come in such condition must
either be sent home, or be in great dan
ger of being made sick by remaining at
school. ''..'' .''7'r t'.'"
