Nebraska, who is visiting in Philipsburg,
preached in the NJ. L. church, that place,

Some member of the genus homo, but
slightly removed from the Darwinian
source of mans existence, and possessing a
superabundance of impudence in COMPARE
son with bis good sense, ascended the beau
tiful willow tree on the Bishop street side
of Miss Mary McBride's millinery store,
last Friday night, and deliberately cut off
the handomest bough on the tree. Was
it the result of spite? II so, is il possible
that such creatures exist7
Robbers are again operating at How
ard. The scene of their last depreciation was
the store of Lucas Brothers, which has
suffered in a similar way on several pre-
vious occasions. The recent robbery oc-
Cured one night during the latter part of
last week when over one hundred dollars
worth of goods was taken. The perpetra-

pretended, although it is thought they are
persons quite familiar with the store and
its surroundings.

The telegram in reference to the well
fare Of DR.. Tanner, which was received in
this place last Saturday night, giving the
gratifying information that the Doctor was
aourishing upon a milk and watermelon
diet, was due to the enterprise of the clerks
in Valentines stores. They thought the
suspense of waiting until Monday for posi-
tive information would be injurious to their
own and their ncighbors' health, and kind
ly telegraphed Hon. A. X. Mcclure, of
Philadelphia. The return telegram was
source of infinite qualification.
Miss Maggie, daughter Of Mr.. John
Sweeney, of Pleasant Gap, accompanied
by her young nephew, we're riding into
town on Tuesday morning last, but Just NJ
they reached the crossing at the junction of
Water and High streets, the spring wagon
in which they rode came to sudden stop,
involuntary so far as they we're concerned.
The front wheels of the wagon struck vio-
lently against the high stones, the wagon
box and rear wheels stopped, and the front
wheels passed on. OF course, the fore part
Of the wagon box fell to the ground, and
the occupants alighted In more rapid and
uncomfortable way than they do on ordin-
ary occasions. Miss Maggie and her COM
panion were frightened but not injured.
