The Philadelphia Grand Jury recommend the re-establishment of the whipping post. The local prisons are overcrowded with an idle, shiftless class of inmates, who persist in committing minor offences in order to get comfortable lodging and tolerably wholesome food without being obliged to do any work. They look upon the prisons as pleasant boarding houses, and when they are released lose no time in forcing their way back. Wherefore the Grand Jury would have them soundly whipped, and not lodged and fed at the public expense.

A medium has been performing at Skan- eateles, New York, who knows how to get out of tight place. At one of his seances 8 spirit went unrecognized for time. It was tall, spare, sandy-haired ghost, and the person he claimed acquaintance with couldn't recognize him by the description. About fifty Christian names were proposed and final ly the spirit accepted Daniel, but even then the friend of his bosom couldn't recognize him. Finally the medium exclaimed: S'He is holding peck measure in his hand" The ghost was then set down as Daniel Peck and Spiritism scored one more.

Viola A. Pomeroy,s Wooden Leg.

Viola A. Pomeroy was engaged as prima donna for comic opera in San Francisco. She attended rebearsals of 'Girohe- Girofa," and sang in 8 satisfactory manner; but the mana ger discov cred that she wore 8 wooden leg, and on that account he discharged her. In a letter to her he said 'The part requires a lady as nimble as cat, and you could not possibly do it justice." Miss Pomeroy has brought suit for salary. Her witnesses swear that, though not as nimble as cat, she is as nearly so as most actresses. One of them eaid that he he'd seen her, as Classy in s'Uncle Toms Cabin" jump out of 8 window and run over a river of ice like whirlwind i; another recollected that, as Florence in 1.-The Red Pocketbook," she jumped from sink ing ship and was rescued, just as well as any woman with two natural legs could have jumped and been rescued and third had witnessed her personation of Maffio in ''Lu- cretia Borgia, in which part she wore tights. Miss Pomeroy offered to dance before the court to show that her wooden leg was no detriment, but that WAS not permitted

 Some two three years ago Miss Martha Chandler, much respected and well connected lady living here attended camp meeting held at Northampton. She contracted hard cold and taken with severe at- tack bleeding at the lungs, which you well know is very dangerous. Several weeks ensued befo.e she could bs moved to her home, and from that time she gradually failed, and in less than twelve months she was hopeessy sick with that dread monster consump- ton. During the few months that followed she had frequent bleeding spells, until they thirty times in number, increasing in pain and severity in each case. Last Spring she took to her bed never expect ing to leave alive, her mouth and throat very sore, and it with difficulty that she could swallow even lqud much less solid food it was simply tor ture and she grew to be shadow, with distres sing cough and no appetite.
