We are pleased to learn that our
old time.honored friend, Papa Bald.
win, of Tidioute, has concluded not to
leave this country for the West, as lie
had contemplated a short time ago.
He has re-purchased his old stand, the
gun store Of Mr.. Horace Jones, and

of yore. He has large and we'll Sc
lected stock Of all goods prctaining TO-
the sporting line, and will be pleased

call upon him. just what point Mr.
Jones proposes to launch out for we
have not learned, but wherever he
may cast anchor may Ohe prosper
abundantly, as he deserves.
Mr.. J. H. Wentworth has reason
to feel happy. Ile recently received
his pension arrearages, and was
around last week squaring up with the
world. Some time last winter he pur-
chased the Vought farm on Tylersburg

the benefits thereof.
Judge Ross, of Norristown, Pa,
has called the attention Of Justices of
the Peace to the new vagrsnt act,
known as the Tramp law, which was
approved April 18th, 1879, and goes
into effect August 10th, 1879. The
Judge said that, under his reading of
the law, Justices would no longer have
power to commit as vagrants, as they
have been doing, but will be required
to commit to jail for trial, leaving the
final disposition of the case to the
Court.

Base Ball.

The Tylersburg club came in last
Saturday, according to announcement,
and played the @. 0. DIS of this place
q match game on Dustin Island. The
weather in the morning showed up
unfayorably, and in the afternoon
drizzling rain set in which developed
into hard showers, which kept up all
afternoon, only ceasing at short inter
walls; but, Notwithstanding this unla-
vorable weather, the boys had met
to test their skill, and were bound to
have it out, regardless of the storm.
The game was called about 1870, and
on account Of having to stop for rain
lasted three hours. During the first
three or four innings il kept dry and
the game progressed nicely, but after
that it was disagreeable work, and the
scores ran up much higher than they
otherwise would. The bali became
like a sponge, and great deal Of
"muffing" was done on both sides.
The game was characterized by the
best Of good feeling throughout, and
not q dispute arose during the whole
afternoon. The Tylersburg boys are
gritty players, and all perfect gentle
men. They took their defeat with
good grace, and at the close heartily
cheered their opponents, who as heart
lily returned the compliment. They
expressed themselves we'll pleased
with the hospitality shown them by
the Tionesta club, and invited them
out next Saturday to play the return
game, which invitation was accepted
and arrangements made to play on
that day. Mr.. Walter CROUCH acted
as umpire, and while he made a few
mistakes, he showed that he was i'm
partial. Messrs. p. NJ. Clark of To
resta, and E. i. Mccormick ofTylers-
burg, were the scorers. Following is

j. A. Elliott, a frrrit-grower near New

nence IL truit-gr0wing III the foothills, ls

small case Of grapes and one Of peaches
The vines that | gathered the grapes from

120 peach trees; half three years old and

Mind Tension.

It is a common subject Of marvel that
criminals in the presence of immediate
execution are usually scif-posscssed, and
often exhibit singular eomposure, says the
London Lancet The doomed creature
sleeps through the night previous to his
violent death, and rises composed to pass
the ordeal; the exceptions to this rule are
few, and there is no reason to suppose
that the individuals who display great
emotion, or who are prostrated by the
agonizing prospect of death, feel their po-
sltlOn more acutely than those who pre-
serve control Of their demeanor. 1t is
prevalent but groundless error to suppose
the state of mind in which most capital
offenders met their doom is one of scare
or paralyzing amazement. They retain
every faculty, taste, consideration, and
even fancy. They frequently give tokens
of especial thoughtfulness, and are pune
tlllous IN the observance of rules and the
adoption OF measures to diminish their
own pain and the trouble and sympathetic
sutlerings of those by whom they are sur
rounded, or who will be left burdened
with their memories. Mentally and phys
ically, the criminal, during the last few
ence OF a cruel death, is self-pOssessed and
tranquil. His pulse is even Tess disturbed
than those of the officials who are COM
PEELED 10 take part in the execution.
Why is this? The answer will be obvious
on reflection. The mind has reached
what may be designated dead point
IN Its tension. The excitement is over,
the agony of anticipation, the trembling
doubt between hope and fear of escape,
has exhausted the irritabiiity of the mind,
and there is, as it We're, a pause, and in
terval Of passive endurance between the
end Of the struggle for life and the bit
terness Of remOrse and agony OF disap-
pointment which may begin at death.
In this interval the mind is released from
the tension OF its effort for sclf-preServa-
ton, and almost rebounds with the sense
Of relief that comes with certainty, even
though the assurance be that OF impend-
ing death. In the pause there is time
and opportunity for the recognition Of
surrounding circumstances, which has
been, as it were, overlooked in the yearn-
ing for life. heclearness Of mental vision,
the recognizance of detail, displayed at
such moment, are remarkable, not only
on account OF the strange circumstances
under which they occur, but in degree.
Men and women who have for some time
previously exhibited no trace of delicacy
or refinement, exhibit characteristic traits
of thoughtfulness. They are, so to say,
lifted out of themselves, and placed in
new conditions calculated to awaken feel
ings Of curiosity, which seldom fail to
respond. The mental state of criminal
during the hours preceding execution
presents features Of intense interest to the
Psychologist and, rightly comprehended,
it is to be feared they would throw new
light on the supposed preparation these
unfortunate persons evince for fate
which, being inevitable, they at the final
moment are able to meet with compos-
ure in which hypocrisy or self-deception
finds the amplest scope.

He Loved Cider,

Yesterday forenoon farmer, having
barrel of cider on tap in his wagon, was
doing a fine retail business near the mar
ket at five cents per glass, when man
with a very thin voice and very old
clothes softly advanced and said:
''IIas the State Inspector of Pomologi-
cal Juices inspected that cider yet!"
'I-I guess not" replied the farmer,
greatly embarrassed in a moment
II thought not" continued the thin
voiced man; "well, sir, you can draw me
full glass"
man with considerable anxiety, and
when the "inspector" had received it he
held it up between his eye and the sun
and said:
"The precipitation appears most too
rapid, while these floating particles de-
note unusual compression. Perhaps a
second glass will be clearer"
He swallowed the contents of the first
at exactly four gulps, and taking a second
glass he critically examined it and said:
"Ah! the precipitation isclearing away.
This cider seems to have been made
from apples"
'It was, sir, and they were nice apples,
too" replied the farmer.
Lets see how a third glass will look.
I am not quite satisfied on the point Of
cOmpression.'
He drained the second and received
the third, and as he slipped it he inquired:
you used hand cider-press, didn't
your
eyes, sir"
"Ah! I thought so. Worked with a
lever, didn't it!"
yes, sir"
Did the mill stand in a draught of air
while you were working it."
"I-I-dOnt know, sir"
"Well, l think it did. Be q little
more careful after this. The Inspector of
Pathological Juices grades this barrel "A
No. O. but if youtake little more pains,
you can increase the grade every time in
the future. All right, sligo on with
your selling"
The man had been gone ten minutes
before anyone mustered courage to re-
mark that he was a fraud, but the word
fell upon stony ground.
II know he's all right" persisted the
farmer. "The mint | see him draw his
cOat-tail around TO Wi pc out the corner Of
his mouth | knew he was big gun, and
| was Just shivering in my boots for fear
he'd ask me why l didn't punch the
seeds out OF the apples before grinding !!
Only five cents a glass, now, and war
ranted purel'
