Eli Perkins Is a pleasant talker and a
graceful orator, but his PHILOSOPHY of Fun"
while it contains a good deal to laugh at and
not a little to instruct, is made up for the
most part of anecdotes and witticisms which
have been paid headed for quite number Of
years, but which all the same were told in
a way that excited the resibilities Of the lar
ger portion of his audience and to that e&-
tent at least was a success.
The CIearfield Republican OF last week
must assume responsibility for the following:
"About two weeks ago while number OF
men were cutting down trees for square tim

the Cambria county line, on the Summerville
& Stevens tob, a pine tree was cut down
which proved to be hollow at the butt, and
in it was found a nest Of rattlesnakes, and
when killed and counted tailed ffty-fOur
venomOus reptiles"
There are hosts Of people in this county
who will greatly regret 70 learn that Hon. g.
l.. Pershing. of POttsviile, our own "Httle
Cyrus" OF former days who has been too III
of late to attend to his judicial duties, is
threatened with Inflammation OF the lungs
It is to be hoped however, if the ff1ictiOn

be himself again. physically, as he has al
ways been mentally.

Then 90 to e. r Roberts variety store,
High street, Ebensburg. He has also tea,
coffee, sugar, spices. boots and shoes, bats

While we know nothing of the merits of
the grievance complained OF bv Mr.. A. Il.
Pindle in a communication printed in an
other column, we deem it but simple Justice
TO say tnat so far as we have been able to
judge from what we have seen and heard
outside the present complaint. Postmaster
James conducts the affairs of his Office about
as near right as it is possible for anybody to
do. It is human 20 err, however, and Mr..
J. is no more infallible than the rest of us.
One night last week, while John Schit-
tenhOlm, an emplOye Of the Gautier wire mill

body around it, The machinery was imme-
diatelv stopped and it was discovered that
his right foot was torn off at the ankle, the
limb lace rated 70 the knee. and the thigh
broken in two places His left leg was also
broken. He fingered until last Saturday
evening, when death relieved him Of his suf-
ferings.
Only two Of the properties offered for

james A. Lyle. the JohnstOwn corra-
spondent of the Altoona Sunday Morninq,
made an information last week before JUS
tIce Fisher, of the Johnstown Democrat, for
libel. Mr. Woodruff entered bail for his ap-
pearance at the March session Of Court. 1t
seems that LYLE, in a letter TO the Sunday
Morning two weeks ago, criticized an article
that had appeared in the Democrat OF the
previous week and that the Democrat of the
fOllOwing-week said something about Lyle
which he regards as libeious, and he there
