Tried tO Drown nimseif.

This morning Joseph Adams waa
placed In tho dock at the police Office.
He was thoroughly saturated with wa.
ter. II seems that Joseph had gone fish
ing with couple Of young men yester-
day, and upon arriving at Pennsgrove,
they set their nets. To while away the
time they had supplied themselves with
a demiiohn of whiskey, to which they
would ever and anon give their atten-
tien. Joe states that he and his com
panlons got drunk, and that his COM
panions must have sat upon him and
beat him, for his face was swollen and
his side bruised. He doesn't remember
anything after that. Last night officers
Mcllhenny and Richards, while patrol
ling their beats cama across two men
leading another. The third man proved
to be Joseph. His companions stated
that Joseph had tried to drown himself
and jumped into che river twice, ana it
was with the greatest difficulty they
succeeded in rescuing him. Joseph
was brought to the hall, and this msrn-
ing was fined fifty cents and costs.

All the children Of the Crown Prince
of Germany are scrofulous like their
mother. When it was first proposed at
the Prussian Court to marry the young
and robust Crown Prince with the fat
English Princess, Bismarck opposed the
project in these words: "You will ru-
in the sound and lusty Hohenzolxern
stock"-an impression that the Crown
Prince never forgave. As little gallant
as this remark of Bismarck's may have
been, it has nevertheless proved true.
The eldest son, and who may one day
he Emperor, is full of talent, but he is
sicklv, and his left arm is withered,
distorted and almost unserviceable. All
the other children arc diseased in one
way or another.
