THE temperance fanatics in Indians
do not approach rum seller, and by
their persuasive eloquence, induce him
to don the blue ribbon and retire
from the internal traffic. No, no.
They've seen that tried and it didn't
work well. Their plan is to place
dynamite under a saloon in the dead
hours of night and blow it to atoms.
This was done at Palestine, the other
night. The building was not only
wrecked and its contents destroyed,
but the keeper was blown sky high,
breaking his leg and otherwise ipjur-
ing him.

The railroad agents are devising a
plan to shut of scalpers entirely by
arranging to refund to the purchaser
of ticket an equitable amount for
that portion of it that he fails to use,
Thus, if a traveller buys a ticket from
Louisville to New York and stops al
Washington, he shall be entitled to
an amount equal to the local fare be-
tween the two latter points. This will
of course be more than a scalper can
give and his occupation, like Othello's,
will be gone, or at least the origina-
tors Of this plan imagine so.

Ir is related Of old John Brown,
whose body lies mouldcring into
clay, while his spirit goes marching
on, that his last words before the
rope jerked him into eternity, we're,
"Don't keep me 50 long a standing"
This showed Impotence and a desire
to have the thing over with, but Pat
Devine, who was jerked to Jesus in
Illinois last Friday, was not Of that
nervous disposition. He took things
coolly, aud when the sheriff evinced a
disposition to hurry through with the

mouth" 1t was too late, however,
and Pat and his quid persisted to.

Tho contract for putting down the track of
the n. 81 W. B lty. has been given to the
Messrs Collins, and active operations in this
direction will soon be commenced. Under
the old arrangement it was the intention of
the New Jersey Central to lay the track, but
since the road has passed into the hands of
the Pennsylvania Railroad Company II
change has been made The rails are being
put in readiness for shipment and as soon as
the bridge at Catawissa Is finished, which
will require about four weeks time, the
construction train will be put on. A con-
nection has already been made with the ID.
III. & W. Mt Catawissa, from which place the
train will be run. A force of workmcn will
be sent on in advance of the track layers to
give the finishing touches to the road bed.
These men will occupy the shanties which
have been left standing at regular intervals
along the line. Mr.. Collins says that the
Pennsylvania company desires the speedy
completion of the road and are leaving moth
ing undone to secure this end. -Shickshinny

IA few months ago II stock company was
formed for Tic purpose Of putting down two
test wells on the Mehoopany creek, near the

WHAT MAKES A GooD PApER.--The Lou
isvillc Courier Journal has the following
sensible remarks about conducting a news
paper: ''Some people estimate the ability of
newspaper and the talents of its editor by
the quantity of its original matter. 1t is COM
paratively an easy task for frothy writer to
pour out daily a column of words-words up
on any and all subjects. His ideas may flow
on one weak, washy, everlasting flood, and
the command of his language may enable
him to string them together like punches Of
onions, and yet his paper may be mcagre
and poor concern. Indeed the mere writing
part of editing paper is but II small portion
of the work. The care, the time employed in
selecting, is far more important and the fact
that good editor is better known by his Sc
lections than by anything else and that we
know is half of the battle. But, as we have
said, an editor ought to be estimated, and his
labor understood and appreciated, by the
general conduct of his paper. Its tone, its
uniform consistent course, AIMS, manliness,
dignity and its prosperity Toprcscrve them
as they should be preserved is enough to oc-
cupy fully the time and attention of any man,
If to this be added the general supervision of
the newspaper tablishment, which most
editors have to encounter, the wonder is how
they find time to write at all"

Almost Il Panic

On Thursday night the Milton Opera House
was literally packed with people, to witness
Bairds famous minstrels. All went well
until the overture was about half over
when the,,Chief Burgess of Milton came in and
announced in an exciting tone of voice. 'Thc
building is giving way" The panic can bet
ter be imagined than described. Gentlemen
turned pale, children screamed and ladies
rushed frantically for the door. 1t was in
vain that the stage manager tried to quiet the
crowd, but they lost all presence of mind and
were getting down stairs as fast as possible.
1t so happened that the builder of the build
ing was in the room, who rose and said !:
Ladies' and gentlemen it is impossible for
this building to give way as there are two 13
inch brick walls running the entire length
and it cannot give IN the least" This paci.
fled the remaining portion of the audience,
and the performance began again and was
gone through with without any further inter
ruption. The building was then examined
and found in very bad condition, with a
large crack running from the floor to the
ceiling, the stairway was very much shaken,
and in fact the building had been slowly Civ
ing way, and but for the timely warning
Milton would again have met with terrible
calamity. Argus
