The Tailor Malas the Man,

Since the tailor makes the man, il must
be evident to the most easy-going mind
that the best tailor makes the best man.
This, Of course, must be taken with limit
ations. However, it is fact admitted by
all, that as man must have clothing he
might as well have it to fit him neatly and
made IN becoming style as to have it dis
guise him against all recognition by his
friends, as it too frequently does. For the
purpose then of having their patrons praise
them because of their becoming appeara nee
and well-made garments, Clauss & Bro, the
popular merchant tailors, of Lehighton,
make n point to give their customers per-
feet fits and garments well and artistically
made. Artist in clothing themselves, they
are satisfied only when their patrons are
satisfied, and their purpose is to come as
near perfection as can be. The stock Of fall
and winter goods is very large, larger than
most merchant tailoring establishments
carry, and much larger than can be found
in any of the tailoring stores, and being
gentlemen of taste the style of their goods is
prime consideration with them. In ad
dition 10 their immense stock of merchant
tailoring goods they have full line of boots,
shoes, hats, caps, and gentlemen's furnish
ing gnnds, to which they invite the.atten-
tinn of Their patrons and the public. Prices
ully as low as the same article can be got
| anywhere in the State.

The Transit at Lafayette.

Professor Coffin, ol Lafayette College, has
furnished the following as the result of the
observations Of the transit of Venus at his
observatory, which is situated in latitude
400 AZ &c" and longitude G5o l2' S2". The
first contract was obscured by clouds and
was not observed until 9 o'clock, 0 minutes
40 seconds. The second contact was oLserv-
Q at o'clock, q minutes, second, the
third contact at hours, AZ minutes Sec
ond, and the fourth contact at 3 hours, 7
minutes 40 seconds p. m. The "hlacli drop"
lasted seconds aud was seen So seconds
previous to the second contact. A rim OF
light, indicating the presence of an atmos-
phi ere, was observed a minute before the
third contact. Measurements of the polar
diameter of Venus give CO seconds, second
more than predicted in the American ephe-
meris.

AT o'clock Saturday morning the fast
freight, known as the Empire freight, left
Easton closely followed by another freight
train. Twenty minutes later the two trains
collided one milo above Freemansburg. No
lives were lost. The cabsose of the frst
train was completely demolished and sever
al cars crashed into each other. The debris
took FIRE from the stove in the caboose, and
the splintered cars were soon enveloped in
flames and consumed. The engine Of the
rear train was badly used up.

years, who has been an inmate of the Le-
high County Almshouse for the last twenty
seven years and totally blind, while alone

death followed in short time. DR.. J. D.

lievcd the sufferer somewhat. By great
exertions tho fire in the building was cx-

buildings and thus prevented the deslruc-

dreds OF inmates. Mr.. w. K. uennin ger,
assistant steward of the institution, while
making an effort TO rescue the woman from
the flames was also seriously though net

The Apportionment.
Richlnnd Rennl,lienn


\ meeting of the politicians OF
Iowa county was held at Dodgville
last week, and we learn that it was re-
solved that iowa county stand out tor
two members of the Assembly under
the apportionment to be made by the
legislature this winter and they went
so far as to agree on the geographical
division of the county into districts.
Under the same basis as agreed upon
by the legislature last winter this
would leave Richland county with
but one member We would like to
ask the people of Richland county
if they will allow the Iowa county
politicians to thus dictate what shall
be done in the premises? Rather
than see so unjust discrimination
i'll favor of Iowa comfy against
Richland we should be in favor oil
such an apportionment rs would
take us out of Senatorial district
with that county. We believe that
it is time that a meeting be called tc
take such action in the premises as
viii enforce the just rights of Rich,

that one of the deacons had made a
speech, at 4 business meeting of the
socitey after the services were over,
which the other deacon being very
deaf, construed into personal attack
upon him, and when the speaker
came out the deaf deacon smashed
him in the neck. The assaulted party
