Plant Trees.

That is good advice which the
Philadelphia Times gives its readers
when it advises them to plant trees.
We commend this eXhortation to the
attention of all those whose eye may
chance to light upon it: Every man
should plant trees; every woman
should plant trees; every hoy should
plant trees; every girl should plant
trees. If they own home, however
humble or unsightly, it can be made
beautiful by shade and vines and
flowers, which cost only the labor of
planting; if they do not own a house
they should plant trees wherever they
happen to stay. 1t will cost nothing
it will only be little care and labor,
and somebody will be grateful for it
by and by. One-half the drift Of
children from their homes and the
occupations to which they are reared
are caused by the cheerlessness that
surrounds them. There is no beauty,
no comfort, no sacredness about the
place that should be to them the most
sacred spot Of earth, and they wander
away among strangers and into
strange pursuits, often to make ship
wreck of their lives, because they see
attractions and comforts elsewhere
which are unknown at home. Plant
trees; plant trees everywhere that Of
fers place for them. Plant shades,
plant fruits, plant vines; plant
flowers, give them only little of the
time that is wasted morning, noon
and evening, and they will abundantly
reward you with comfort, health and
plenty.

The following "pointed" remarks
by circus clown at a small town in
the interior has more truth in it
than poetry" 1--WE have taken in
5000 here to-day-more than most
ministers of the Gospel receive for a
whole years service. A large portion
OF the money was given by church
members, and a large portion of this
audience is made up of members of
the church. And yet, when your
preacher asks you to aid him in sup
porting the Gospel, you are too poor
to give anything. But you come here
and pay dollars to hear me talk non
sense. j am fool because ain paid
forit; make my living by it. You
profess to be wise, and yet you support
me in my folly. Now isn't this a
pretty place for christians to be in?
Don't you feel ashamed of yourselves?

Killed by the Cars.
[St. Mary's Gazette.l

On Thursday evening last while a
freight train was passing through
Rathburn going west Edward Keltz,
brakeman on the train met with a
horrible and instantaneous death. 1t
seems he was new hand at the busi-
ness, and probably his ineXperience
was the prime cause OF his death. He
took Off a brake and in stepping from
one car to another missed his footing,
falling between the cars to the track
when the wheels crushed his head, and
cut off his left ann and shoulder. The
body was hideous sight to look at,
though the face was not marred 1t Is
supposed when he "let off" the brake,
and in the act of stepping to the next
car the coupling heightened, and he
thereby missed his footing. The body
was brought to st .Marys on Thursday
evening, and his friends who live in
Centrevile notified. The body was
taken to Centreville for interment.

fatally wounded John Gorman, his
neighbor. The latter was about sixty
years of age, and had provoked Horan
by the erection of Il fence between
their property at Mill Creek, small
hamlet about two miles from here.
Horan, while partially under the in
fiuence of liquor, went to Gorman's
house and demanded that the fence be
taken down at once. Gormau said
that he would attend to it in the
morning, and Horan walked away a
few steps, turned Oh his heel and
emptied the contents Of shotgun into
the old mans head and neck. One of
the shot entered the skull over the
right ear; one or two penetrated the
lung, causing him to cXpectorate blood

KILLED By ELECTRICITY.
Curious Particulars of the Case in
Pitfsburg g-Sudden Death IF a
workman.

PtttSbtrg (PeiIn.) Telegraph, February 81
a fatal accident occurred in Carnegie 81
Co.'s Union Iron Mills, on Thirty-third
street, about 1:30 O'Clock this morning. In
the mill there is an electric battery of suf-
ticient power to run the sixteen lights neces-
sary to Illuminate the premises. Some
trouble had been experienced In the past
with boys working in the mill who persisted
In making dangerous experiments with the
generating engine, and fence about four
feet high had been built entirely around the
engine, and a special watchman employed to
keep the boys away. AT the time mentioned
this morning, Henry Balzer, workman in
the plate mill, took a lantern and went
over to a clock hanging near the electric
machine to see what time it was. After
ascertaining, he walked over to the machine
aud stood leading upon the fence around 1t.
The facts just at this point could not be
clearly learned, but from statements made
by persons connected with the mill IL ap-
pears that Robert Lyon, the engineer, in
connection with some experiments he had
been making, had stretched wire from the
battery to one of the other wires and along
the top of the fence. While Bslzer was
leaning upon this fierce he suddenly turned
around, smiled, and sstd "Oh," and dropped
lutO the arms OF Lyon, VINO was directly
back OF him, expiring Immediately. It was
supposed at first that he had tainted, but
examination disclosed the fact that he was
dead. 1t is supposed that while leaning
upon the fence he had touched the wire
with his lamp and empty hand, thus form
ing circuit, the current passing completely
through his body and into the ground. A
hvid mark around the throat and long
furrow running from the thigh of the left
limb to the ankle showed the course taken
by the electricity. Otherwise, Balzer looked
as II he had fallen into deep sleep. The
body was taken to the corner of Thirty
fourth and Charlotte streets, where the de-
ceased had lived. Balzer occupied the sec
ond floor OF the house, and a fellow work
man named Joseph Stoelzer lived on the
first floor. Last night about - O'Clock
Stoelzer retired, and when he had slept ap-
parently for two hours his wife attempted
to wake him, but without success She
thought he was playing trick upon her,
and again tried to rouse him, but again fail
ing, became alarmed, and, putting her hand
upon bis face, discovered that he was dead.
He had been suffering from heart disease,
aud to 1t is attributed his death. Robert
Lyon, the engineer In charge of the battery
which caused Balzer's death, feels so terri
bly, about the sad affair as to be almost
crazed, seeming to think that he is in some
way responsible for it. No blame Is attached
to him, however, by those who are conver-
SAINT with the facts, Balzer's death being
attributable to accident or to his own care
lessness.
