How am Olt-'aisIac ElincraMt
Slew Essree Indians at Once,

According to tradition. a number Of
Indians were maSSacrcd at the mouth
of Il little stream now known us Grove
Run, and a few hundred yards above
Sinncmahoning Station, by Peter Grove,
Il cOmpHtrlot Of Capt. Sam Brady, and
one of the most relentless Indian hatels
of that time. The bloody incident oc-
cured over 100 years ago, and is rela-
ted as follows:
Peter Grove, who was we'll acuualr-
ted with all these mountain detiles and
streams, discovered the trail of seven
Indians who had been making q foray
on the settlements below, and lie pur-
sued them up the Sinncmahoniny.
One evening they encamped at the
mouth OF this little stream on the bank
OF the creek and built fire in fancicd
security. As he came down EllicOtt's
Run, which cmptics into the First Fork
near here, and passed around the high
knob q the mountain, he discovered
the smoke OF their fire and knew that
the foe was encauped there. He wait
ed patiently till they were asleep, when
he crept up like Il panther, and rushing
upon them, succeeded in killing three.
The others were SO surprised, and not
knowing how many were III the attack
ing party, they fled for their lives.
Hastily seizins the arms Of the slain
he threw them into a swamp near by.
and, entering the creek, wadrd down
stream some distance to avoid being
tracked by the willy foe, and then crossed
over the mountains to Beech Creek and
escaped. This adventure was one of
the most daring in the life Of this bold
hunter, and was equal, if not superior,
to any Of the exploits of Brady,
Years afterward, when the settlers
came, the sturdy oak under which the
savages laid down to their last sleep
was pointed out, and the marks in the
trunk where their tomahawks had been
struck could be seen. One or two rusty
gun barrels were found in the morass
years aftcrWarl, which were undoubted-
ly all that remained of the arms of the
lnckless savages. The little stream
was afterward known as Grove Kun-a
name which it bears to this day-and
when Sle county of Cameron was erec-
ted, Peter was again honored bv having
a township named after him, which
takes ID the spot where he slew the H.
dams. His name is, therefore, we'll
perpetuated by Grove Run and Grove
township.

'A'aae sunday Stone.


In an Oxford museum may be seen a
strange stone. 1t is composed of car
Donate OF lime, and was taken from 4
pipe which carries off drain water in a
cOlllcry. The stone consists Of alterna-
tive layers OF black and white so that
it has a striped appearance. This was
caused i'll the following way: When
the miners were at work the water
which ran through the pipe contained
a, good deal Of coal dust, and so le it a
black deposit in the pipe. But when no
work was going on-as for instance in
the night-the water was clean, and so
white layer was formed.
In time these deposits quite filled the
pipe, and it was, therefore. taken IN.
Then it was found that the black and
white layers formed quite a calendar.
Small streaks, alternately black and
white, showed a week, and then came
q white streak of TWICE the usual size,
This was Sabbath, during which there
was Of course, no work for twenty-four
hours. But in the middle of one week
there came white streak of twice the
usual size. On inquiry, it was found
that on that day a large fair had been
held i'll the neighborhood, and no work
had been done at the collery. Every
change. il the 9rdinaly course Of work
had left its mark on this strange stone,
to which has been given the title of
The Sunday Stone.

The Future Queen OF Spain.

The Paris Soir gives a pleasing les-
crDtion Of tho Archduchc4s Christina.
A slight elegant figure, an agreeable
fair face, dimpled checks, golden hair
and tiny hands are among her external
attractions. Her voice is silvery, she
paints flowers like an artist, is an ac-
complishcd musician, and has been al
ways Il docile pupil to her professors,
though she is endowed with rare indie
Dendence of character, and is fcarlessly
frank in her speech. At Mundcn, where
she usually spends the summer months,
she applies herself to wood carving un-
der a skilled artist. She bcstows an
nrallly on poor children much clothing,
which she makes herself. She pre-
serves an ailectlOnate regard for her
former governcsscs, aud when they
come to see her runs to procure cushions
and footstools for them, and is always
glad of opportunities to visit them at
their houses. Her attachment to all
her old servants is deeply rooted. II a
professor compliments her on her pro-
grcSs in any art she is as pleased as Il
little child " no has been praised for
being good. The ArchducheSs is un-
able to dissimulatc antipatly Or to CON
ceal a preference. She was particulars

decided, is to 20 to the wedding. The

A ParabIC.s

Two farmers sat each on his respective
porch. One looked out ON his fife, fer
tile acres, and reasoned thus: eff
should plow this ground and SOW my
seed, 1t may be wet season or a dry
one, and the crop failure. Then
should lose my seed, and my labor and
pains would be spent in vain. I should
be fool to risk so much Oh such uncer-
tainties. | will make no outlay of labor
OF money till am sure of a crop"
The other as he looks over his broad
fields, says to himself: II must rise and
cultivate. True, crops sometimes fail
OF are deficient, but will arise, plow
and SOW, feed and dress my lands, and
expect rich harvest" This man ID
blessed with full barns and abundant
household supplies as reward for his
trust and toll, and his heart is made
glad.
The other poor soul must beg in har-
vest and have nothing, and go sorrow
ing for his folly.

: WHAT SMOKING DOES FOR Boys.-A
certain doctor, with the large number of
boys after the age of fifteen whom he
observed smoking, was led to inquire
into the, effect the habit had upon the
general health. He took for his purpose
irty-eight boys, aged from nine to fif-
teen years, and carefully examined them.
In tWenty-seven of them he discovered
injurious traces OF the habit. In twenty
two there were various disorders of tie
circulation and digestion; palpitation
OF the heart and more or less marked
taste for strong drink. In twelve was
frequent bleeding at the nose; ten had
disturbed sleep, and twelve had slight
liberation of the mucous membrane of
the mouth, which disappeared on ceas-
ing from the use of tobacco for some
days. The doctor treated them all for
weakness, with little effect until the
smoking was discontinued, when health
and strength was restored. Now, this
is no "old wife's tale" as these facts are
given on the authority of the British
Medical journal.

The END OF TIE WoRLD.-A lecture
delivered at the Berlin University some
three months ago, by Prof. Dubois Rey-
mond, bears the ominous title, "The
End OF Our World ;" and says that every
movement upon cur planet, with the
exception of the ebb and flood, which
are caused 10y. the solar heat. As how
ever, the sun loses every year a. portion
ct his caloric, science has lately come to
the conclusion that he will not exist,a as
al an oed em,t6er nt6 OF warmth longer than for
100000 years to come. During that
space Of time our earth will get colder
and colder in proportion as the solar
heat shall diminish. The ice will ad-
gance from the poles to the equator;
Ire eartl's population will gradually
recede before the advancing glaciers:
the sun will become less luminous,
until he will present the appearances of a
dark red ball, and finally ice will annihi-
lato all vitality OIL Our planet.

Walking Through the Honey
saROOER.
fGoltien Words. ,

In order to walk with pleasure and
profit to ourselves, we Eiust begin when
young, walk set distance. daily, and at
IL given uniform pace. The distance
must be short at first, and gradually in
creased; the pace, likewise slow at first,
must quicken day by day, until the
desired proficiency is attained. If
mothers were careful to have the pedes-
trian training of their girls begun about
the age OF twelve, then our eyes would
be gladden. by the sight of women mov-
ing with grace, dignity and sWiftness
along our streets; and, moreover. We
should have another employment added
to our lists Of social pleasures, for wives
and sisters could accompany husbands
and brothers OH delightful walking eX-
peditions, and parties for the same pur-
pose could be organized, as we see par
ties uniting for tour by rail OF steamer.
Picture to yourselves how charming
would be honeymoon passed in walk
ing through beautiful scenery, under
the free sky, in crisp Autumn, or sweet
Spring Misunderstanding the journey
into just so many miles per diem, as
would give time for turning aside to
examine some "bosky dell" or halt by
some rlppling river, picture the swift,
bracing march over mile or SO of
moorland, then the arriving at the rest
ing-place i'll the cool, fresh cleaning,
the welcome supper and comfortable
chair. Would it not put expensive and
inconvenient Continental wedding trips
out of fashl0n-as, indeed, they arc
growing already to be!
