Gentlemen's Clothes. - The fashions
for this fall are generally characterized
by neatness In designs of goods as well
as cut of garments.
The coat, however, most generally
worn is the s. b. Walking Coat, both
skirt and waist being of medium length,
and the coat being rather close fitting ali
over and buttoning high. If designed
for dressy wear, the coat buttons with
one button. If for business wear, four
button coat is generally preferred, with
false flaps on the side. For rough and
Scotch goods the Sack Coat is in favor,
and is cut rather short and snug-fitting.
There is a tendency to cut Vests a
little lower than last season, and with
collars.
Fancy Vests are again coming into
favor in London.
Those who wish to see the finest line
of cassimers, overcoatlngs, &C., ever
shown in this county are requested to
call at the store of +. Mortimer and look
over the assortment there shown, which
represents the stock of the leading CLOTH
ing house in the world. You can there

or suit made to order in the best rossi-
BILE manner. All garments are guaranteed

Singular Accident "A boy about eleven
years old, son of Mr.. George Goldsmith.
who reside some two miles below Scot
land, on the road leading to Shlppens-
burg was severely burned on Wednesday.
The boy had been to Scotland in the
morning and purchased a small quanti-
ty of powder to use in pistol. He was
on his way to school and had stopped at
the Etter blacksmith shop near bis home.
The blacksmith, Mr.. Barnhart, and his
helper, Proctor, were working at tire,
getting it ready to put on. While watch
ing the men at work, spark from the
hot iron flew, as was supposed, into the
boys pantaloon pocket where he was
carrying the powder. The powder ignit-
ed, set fire to his clothing, leaving its
painful track on both of his legs and up
his side to the top of his head. The
young lad was taken to his home where
he now lies in very critical condition.

lhO NcN hOIS6 ulseuses- cases
of Pink eye" have appeared in this
county. In referring to this disease,
the Philadelphia North american thus
describes its effects and symptoms
When the animal first becomes affect
ed it refuses to eat, or in other words,
''goes off its feed, >" and in short time
the eyes are half closed, watering and of
pinkish appearance. Up to this point
the horses may he worked, though not
too heavily, but the next stage of the
disorder compels them to lay up. This
consists of swelling, beginning just
above the hoof and gradually extending
upward, until the legs are almost twice
the natural size and the bowels badly
affected. Considerable fever attends the
disease, which runs its course in from
nine to eighteen days. With care the
horse can generally be saved, but the
real danger comes in when the animal
has apparently recovered and returned
to work. They may be trotting along
with no sign of anything wrong, and in
moment, without warning, fall dead
in their traces. The disease Is said to be
contagious to some extent, and will often
run through whole stables before being
checked. The stable boss of one of the
principal passenger railways said yes
terday afternoon that the disease was
worse in its results than the epizooty of
1872. Every spring and fall, ;" said he,

and the past ten days haslaid up more
animals than any corresponding period
that remember for twenty years. This
year, however, 1t seems to be different
I'll start horse out in the morning as
bright as dollar, and by the time he
returns to the depot he's all broken up,
eyes heavy, head down, and weak in the
knees. This is often the case with those
who have refused to eat, but when some
of the best feeders act that way it is bad
enough. If this thing keeps on, don't
know what some of the roads are going
to do. The green horses, or, to be
palmer, those recently purchased from
the country, seem to be the soonest and
worst affected. / consider pink eye far
worse than the epizooty, and more to be
dreaded, from the fact that after you put
a horse back to work you never know
when he is going to drop dead under the
car. have plenty of horses now that
have come back to their feed, and would
put them on the street again if it were
not that such weather as this would
surely throw them back into the hos

about two o'clock at night, TO find d
strange man bending over her. She

fled, fired four shots at him but he
made his escape through the window

Not on Speaking Terms.

In the San Francisco custom house
there was employed us night watchman
a character called Barney McGlOne.
McGlone was known rs n gOOd-humOred,
ready-witted fellow, but having had the
misfortune to incur the enmity of his
superior officer, the latter sought eager
ly with persistent malice to find grounds
sufficient upon which to recommend
Barney's removal. Night after night
he watched, bouncing down at unexpect-
ed hours, only to find Barney vigilant ut
his post. Not q word would pass be-
tween them, the officer always retiring
bafled and mortified. At length his
persistency was rewarded. Barney had
been putting in his time at ''pOker," in
stead of strengthening himself by sleep
for his weary vigil from midnight until
morn, and tho night being very chilly,
he wrapped himself in his overcoat and
tried to steal fitful snatches OF sleep.
hoping the night would be too cold for
his relentless pursuer to continue his
hunt. He reasoned directly opposite
from the officer, who, guided by the
music of Barney's snoring, with malig-
nant JOY stood watching the sleeper in
triumph a moment, and then called:
..McGlone" No answer. "McGiOne!"
he shouted. Barney awoke with Il cold
chill running down his back at the
sound of his enemy's voice, but kept
silent, and simply stared at his inter-
locutor. ''McGlone" he again shouted.
''Fve caught you asleep" Barney,
now thoroughly alive TO his danger. OK
claimed: ''YOu did not, sOrr." ''Then
why didn't you answer me when l
called to youp" Because, be Jasus.
l warn't on shpakin' turns wild you
sorr." Barney was reported. but his
explanation as given was accepted for
truth, and his miraculous presence OF
mind saved him his position.

Explorations in the Gaboon.

Hugo Won K%oppenfels describes tho
result Of his very recent explorations in
the GabOOn. On the Eliva CoWi Gan
inland lake, he had met with the goril-
Ia and shot a fine male specimen. He
declares he has fully satisfied himself
of the existence of hybrid forms be-
tween the male gorilla and the female
chimpanzee, and he would thus ac-
count for the many so-called species,
MANY of which got local names from
the natives. He found the Oschcbas.
visited by Du Chaillu. a harmless,
though somewhat suspicious people.
In the country about the GabOon the
mammalian fauna is poor; there are
none of the large antelOpes, giratfes,
gnus, zebras, quaggas, ~rhinoceroses.
gazelles, lions, etc., which abound in
the interior, but the leopard is common
and the fine black variety, though rare,
is now and then seen. Great wild hogs
abound; otter and porcupines are COM
mon. Besides the man-like apes, the
blue-faced mandril and the lOng-tailed,
dog-faced balloon are to bo found. In
the rivers and lakes there are hippOpOt-
ami, which sometimes, but rarely, go
down to the ocean. The manatee, be-
ing much hunted for its delicious flesh
by the natives, is continually decrcas-
ing in number, and will in all proba-
bility soon be quito extirpated. OF
reptiles there are two crocOdiles, a
leather-backed turtle, many serpents.
among these the python, of which N
was shot just eighteen feet in length.
