The Academy students partook of
O late dinner. last Friday, because,
when school was adjourned at noon,
they forgot themselves and trooped
out of the house building in noisy
manner, which caused MIR. Duncan
to call them all back to their seats to
remain there I of an hour longer.
At the February election G. B.
Horning, and James Irwin, became
tie as school directors. The school law
provides that ID case of such tie
vote, the director shall be chosen by
lot, before the board of school direc-
tors of the district in which the tie
exists. The borough school board
met last Friday evening. Horning
and Irwin appeared before the board,
and drew lot for the dictatorship.
The fates dscreed in favor of Horn
ing. He is the director.
An exchange says. When the
names and post Office addresses OF
the pensioners are printed, as pro-
vided for by the 100000 appropria
ton of the last Congress, they will
form upward of forty eight hundred
pages of rule and figure work, and
these will be condensed into eight
volumes of 600 pages each. 1t is not
expected the work will be completed
before nexs fall, as there will be no
demand for it until Congress re-as
sembles.
During the Centennial year, o
Pittsburg man, named QNeal and
a Philadelphia man, named Rohm
fell in love with one and the same
woman. Last Friday, the two men,
fought out their grievance in prize
fight in the parlor Of man named
Rohn, who lives about 3 miles from
Altoona. In addition to the old
love grievance, there was prize OF
$1,000, and Rohm added 20 that sum
$50 in gold. In the 33rd round
O'Neal knocked his opponent out OF
time.
'.As was feared, the subsistence OF
the Western floods is likely to be
followed by wide spread sickness.
A physician who has journeyed
through the afflicted districts reports
the discovery Of frequent cases Of
pneumonia, bronchitis and catarrhal
feveis, caused by exposure and wet
tings, while hundreds of people were
found huddled together in ware
houses and public buildings under
the most unfsvorable sanitary condi-
tions. The slime and debris left by
the foods, together with the fact
that the water has covered and in
many places still covers wells, cis-
terms, cellars and cess pools, induce
grave apprehsnsions of a pestlence.
The force of the foods themselves
was expended chiefly upon property.
Their after effects bear directly up,
on human life.
Ex-senator David Davis of Hin
ois, and Hiss Addie Burr, of North
Carolina, were married at Fsyette-
vile, N. c., last Wednesday. The
groom, is IS years old, and the bride
40 years. The party so to California.
Preacher Hamilton in his sdvo-
cacy Of the adoption of the whip
ing post says that it is not more
barbarous or cruel to whip a rascal
than to hang a murderer, both acts
are for the protection of society.
At the present time the public
mind is greatly interested in Silk
Culture, the new industry which is
so admirably adapted for women and
children. This occupation requires
no special training and can bs car
ried on in almost every part of this
country. An empty room in a stable,
shed or sn attic is as good a place
for raising silk worms and cocoons
as could bo desired, and FIVE dollars
is an ample capital to begin with.
Silk culture can be conducted with
out interfering in any way with the
regular domestic duties OF the house
hold, and is far more profitable than
poultry raising, bee keeping, or other
occupations which women frequent
ly pursue. A circular giving full in
structions, together with catalogue
of fruit and ornamental plants, will
be mailed to any address, free OF ex-
