As through Broadway TO Fourth street passed
A youth who bore, all painted nice,
A banner with this strange device:

Gazed on but" between his teeth,
Aud through bluclight's empty spout
Cane that brave urchiu's ringing shout

Far up the street he saw n light,
And forward ran with all his might
He found ten thousand men in line,
And at their head he bore this sign,

We advise those of our readers who

course, these places are as numerous

"The presumption ls altogether very

land area of no great eievation which
flows downward from ITS highest level
in the direction of the least resistance,
that is TO say from the polar centre
toward the continually disinlegrating
margin, progressively diminishing in
thickness as IL extends itself paripher-
ally. Thus gradually moving seaward,
the ice-sheet will at last pass the
margin Of the land, but will continue
to rest upon the gradually descending
sea-bed, flowing down its gentle slope
until lifted by its own bnoyanoy (like
a vessel on launch) when vast masses
will break off and float away. y
Thus the Antarctic ice.barrier is to be
regarded as the margin Of q polar
"ice cap" whose thickness at its edge
is probably about two thousand feet,
nine.tentbs Of it lying beneath the
water line. This margin is not perma-

like the terminal portion Of a land
glacier-not, however, by liqueiaction,
but by dsruption-and is as continu.

the piled-up ice OF the area within.
What may be the thickness Of the "ice.

at present no means of knowing but
it must doubtless be kept down by the
facility of the downward flow in
almost every direction toward its
periphery of ten thousand miles.

THE LAW or TRESPASS


The following summary Oh the law

Trespass is defined as "any trans,

the widest meaning.
Ordinarily, however, IT has reference
only to an entry on the property Of

doing damage while there, whether
much or little.
The law gives the owner exclusive
control over his property. Any In

THE PATIENT ANGL Err.

An angler sat by an old saw mill
Aud angled away In the flowing rill,
Dreaming Of fish that, traditions say,
Deep iu tho waters hide away
Piekerol, perch, eels, aud bull pout
And legend whispered a speckled trout.
This last named FISH must be taken on spec,
No man ever saw his head or neck,
One man had seen the end oihis tail
Going down stream like IN express mail.
But to our tale As / said before,
The patient angler sat by the shore,
And the tools Of his trade around him lay
llaekles, dun, brown, red speckled aud gray,
And lies, artificial, Of every hue,
Millers, grubs and grasshoppers, too
And good old WAlton's Angler Complete,
The fsherman's Bible, lay at his feet.
As thus be sat and angled away,
gently spoke TO this fisherman gray
"Holoa my friend, how goes the fight
With the fnny tribesl Had'st e'er bite Z"
"Not yet" he sighed, and whispered low,
"Pye only been here day or so."
Time rolled on and passed that way
There sat the angler, old and gray
The hornets had built nest in his hat,
His shoes were the homes Of the sportive gnat
And yellow jackets were coming TO rest
Within the folds Of his peaceful vest
Earwigs, horseAies and beetles brown
We're sporting around his snowy crown
But there be sat by the old saw mill,
Happy, oontented, patient still.
As thus he sat and angled away,
| gently spoke to this fisherman gray
"Hslloa my friend, how goes the fight
With the fnny tribesy Had'st 'cr bite 2"
"Not yet," he sighed, and whispered low,
"Ive only been here month or So"

Prof. J. W. Shoemaker, who endeared
himself to the members of our County
Institute during the sessions Of 1872
and 1875, by his genial manner and
profitable instruction given in elocu.
ton. We know all will deeply regret
to learn of his death, the notice Of
which we take from the Philadelphia
Press OF the 18th inst, as follows:
"a telegram brings information of
the sudden death at Atchison, Kansas,
of Prof Jacob W. Shoemaker, Presi.
dent of the National School OF Elocu-
ton and Oratory OF this city. He has
been suffering from a disease of the
throat for several years, and in hopes
of regaining his health he started last
month for Colorado, stopping on the
way with some friends in Atchison.
At that point he was attacked with
malarial fever, which caused bis death
Saturday evening last at $50 o'clock.
He leaves wife and two children aged
respectfully and 8 years, who were
summoned by telegraph on Friday af.
ternoon, but they failed to reach Atch-
ison until the day after his death.
The body will be brought to this city
for interment, the funeral services to
be held at the Congregational Church,
Eighteenth and Green streets, on Sat
urday next.
Professor Shoemaker was born in
Westmoreland county, Of this State,
April IS, 1912. He was the youngest
of four children, three sons and one
daughter. His father was minister,
at the same time being owner Of and
resident upon a fine farm. He was

by teaching and canvassing for book

dent was not noticed in time for the
engineer 10 stop and "eatch on again,
nor did the brakeman on the rear part
Of the train have time TO go back and
flag the freight tram that was following.
The result WAS that the succeeding
train went crashing into the emigrant
cars, causing 4 fearful wreck. One
mormon passenger and 4 brakeman
Was KILLED. Several passengers were
frightfdlly hurt, and one or two more
mar POSSIBLY die.
The accident seems 10 have been
purely accidental and could not have
been prevented by ordinary foresight.
The railroad authorities have been very
attentive TO the dead and wounded, and
surgeons and nurses have been engaged
to relieve the pains Of the latter.
