yysn:esl-A Physician,


Il is meet and proper that there should
be doctor in the court house now. Wit
nesscs and jurors often get sick, and even
judges and lawyers who work so close to
Judgment Day, will find one I" handy to
have in the house." With Dr.. Urban's
outgoing some Esculapian ought to come
in. And then if 4 juryman wanted to get
off, and had no good excuse, how readily
a neighbocing and obliging doctor could
doctor up q certificate for him-even if his
complaint was no more serious than that
a Mariettian couldn't drink Lancaster

LOCAL INTELLIGENCE.
MAJOR DAVIS IN SCRANTON.
His Liability to Arrest for Truancy.
Scranton Republican,.

His Liability to Arrest for Truancy.
Scranton Republican,.
We had the pleasure last night IF
meeting Major Daniel F. Davis, who is,
to use his own words the smallest we'll
proportioned man in the state of Penn
sylvania. In saying this the major de-
scribes himself truthfully, for he is but
forty. seven inches in height. weighs forty
eight pounds and is perfectly proper
toned. He was born in Safe Har-
Dor, Lancaster county, this state.
aud will be twenty. five years old next
April. While diminutive in size Major
Davis has the mature judgment of man
and carries himself with modest dignityand
ease. He visits Scranton on business and
will remain here for a week, representing
the interests OF the enterprise in behalf of
which lie travels. His parents, SO lie in
forms us, arc ordinary sized people, and he
ascribes his own small proportions to the
excessive drugginS which he underwent
when child, at which time he was very
delicate. He has one sister, who is twelve
years old and already two inches taller
than her = big BROTHER The major tells
with considerable enjoyment that when he
arrived here night before last, he was
taken in charge by big policeman, who
supposed him tc be son:c little boy that had
gone astray, and who was quite taken
aback when the supposed truan: H.
formed him with great dignity that he
was here on business and could take care
of himself. Major Davis travelled with the
I.iliputian opsra company for a season
and has seen good deal Of the world, but
he is witlal 4 modest little gentleman and
as courteous as he is modest. We do moi
doubt that he will receive considcrate
treatment ut the hands of our bushes:
men, upon whom he will call during Iii

The following recipe was originally pub
lished as panacea for smallpox by some
of the most scientific schools Of medicine
in Paris. It is claimed to be Of infallible
efficacy. 1t is cure also for scarlet fever,
and it is harmless when administered to
well persons:
SuIphate of zinc, one grain foxglove
(digitalis), one grain ; half a teaspoonful
of sugar; mix with two .ablespcOnfuls Of
water. When thoroughly mixed add four
ounces of water. Take teaspoonful
every hour. The disease will disappear
in twelve hours For children smaller
doses should be given, according to their
age.
Edward Hines, OF the Liverpool Her.
eng, writes II am willing to risk my
reputation as public man il the worst
case of small pox cannot be cured in three
days, simply by the use Of cream of tar
tar dissolved in pint of hot water, drank
at intervals when cold. 1t is certain
remedy. 1t has cured thousands, never
leaves mark, never causes blindness and
avoids tedious lingering"

and evening Of the 22d inst, for the pur-
pose of raising funds to purchase bell

dercd their parts in good style. Adj
dresses were delivered by Messrs G. C.S.Jacoby
and Geo. S. Fry, congratulatins the pupils
and teachers upon their success and ell

as well as some Of the pupils Of the
schools, were of an exceedingly humorous
character, being frequently interrupted by
applause. The Reamstown cornet band
discoursed some of their choicest music.

Congress has voted its usual holiday recess, and
the presumption Is that upon reassembltng both
houses will ut once begin work in earnest. Moth
Ing worth mentioning Is ever accomplished by a
new Congress before the holiday recess The
House is usually without committees until the eve
OF the holiday adjournment, and several Speakers
have been so perplexed in the past in making up
the committee lists that the announcement was
postponed until the reaSSembling. AS all apprO-
priaton bills and measures for the expenditure Of
money must originate in the House, the Senate
usually proceeds leisurely along, filling up the
daily sessions with speeches. until the appropria-
ton bills begin to come in
