A Curiosity for Scientists.


Mr. Fetus Hem, Of Randolph, re-
Gently undertook to blast the large
rock in his lot lately purchased of
Peter Riedinger, and formerly owned
by S. Perkins. The lot lies right at
the foot on the north side of the Sand
Hill. in Randolph, and the said rock
is near the south line of said lot. There
was nothing particularly striking
about the appearance of this rock ex-
cept that it was very huge, and con-
glomerate, which are supposed to be
very hard and therefore difficult to
blast, and for this reason, we suppose,
the attempt was never made to remove
it. Mr.. Hem, however, being a quar-
ryman, undertook to blast it, and met
with better success than he anticipated
for he had only to drill six or seven
inches when he reached an incoherent
gravel. 1t is developed that this i'm
mense bulk that was supposed to be
solid conglomerate, turns out to be a
shell about six inches thick filed with
splendid gravel, consisting of pure
pebbles apd no dirt. The question for
the scientist would seem to be, how
in nature did this mass of pebbly ma
terial collect itself into this enormous
shape, and how many hundred thou
sand years was it at work L? Don't tell
US it was only six thousand years at the
farthest, for the pebbles composing the
gravel are worlds in themselves and
undoubtedly required ages to assume
their shape.

On New Years eve, Mrs. George
Tuttle, who resides in the south part
of Shalersville, was sitting by the
warm fire taking her ease in her own
home, when she heard a sound rs of
some one rapping, gently tapping on
the parlor door. Instantly obeying
the summons she proceeded to open
the portal, but looking about in all
directions she discovered 20 one who
should have intruded upon her medi-
tations and was about to close the
door aud return to her quiet musings,
when casting her eye downward she
deserted upon the sep bundle, only
that and nothing l.ioye. STOPPING to
pick it up she observed signs of ami
nation. No time was lost in carrying
the package into the warm and cheer
ful room and removing the wraps,
when, 10 and behold, a nice, plump
lump of humanity several months old
was revealed to the astonished vision.
Mrs. L. was in ecstacies for a brief
period. thinking that she was the re-
cipient of u much priced New Years
present, but few hours later neigh
Dor, the mother of the precious lump
of animated nature, put il her appear
ance, proved property and bore it
away, and then it dawned upon the
mind of Mrs. Tuttle that the affair was
a put up Job.

A so arc MI ana


Is the title of a drama of Western life,
delineatiug mining and border scenes
and character, written by Mr.. Edward
J. Swartz. which will be produced at
the Opera House Friday night, Janu-
ary 18th, by a strong company under
the management of Mr.. J. M, Hill,
manager of Miss Margaret Mather;
who has recently achieved such an
astonishing success in Chicago, and
Den. Thompson, the original and only
Joshua Whitcomb, which is an abund-
and guarantee of the character of the
play and company. The play is new,
yet it has received the most flattering
receptions from press and public wher-
ever witnessed, Chicago, Philadelphia
Brooklyn andMilwaukee being among
the list. The Philadelphia Evening
Bulletin says:
Mr.. Swartz's play entitled A
Square man" achieved a decided sue
cess. The drama Is clean and pure
throughout, and his dialogue is freight
ed with poetical sentiment that is
admirable In the part of Jack Ken
yon, the "Square Man" Mr.. Benz.
Maginley has found very congenial
roll, and his acting is verv fine indeed
and deeply impressed the large audi
ence. The company is very efficient.
Mss Libbie N6xon was a very charm

created furore by his extraordinary
performances.

no avail. They were heartily well
coined, and ali enjoyed the evening
in pleasant, social manner. A fine
repast was partaken, and before taking
their departure, Mr.. Curtis, on behalf
of the company, presented to Mr.. and
Mrs. Churchill IA number of articles of

appropriate remarks, and the guests

snporIant to Farmers.

The Farmers institute for this Coun-
ty will commence its session at Reeds
Opera House one week from next
Monday, Jan. 22d) holding two days.
A number of able speakers will be in
attendance, and address the meetings.
In reference to the Importance of these
meetings the Pittsburgh Stockman
says:
Within the next thirty days more
stock meetings, farmers institutes, etc.
will be held than in any other thirty
days Of the year. These meetings may
seem at first glance to be matters ofno
great Importance, but any such esti-
mate of them is unjust. They are
more than mere formal assemblies of
farmers and ck-raisers, held for a
hand-shaking and mutual seIf-con-
gulatration; they mean organized effort
for the accomplishment of a common
end-mutual sympathy in effort for
improvements determination to let
the people know they are in earnest.
Every successful gathering of this
kind elevates the popular estimate of
the dignity and importance of the in
terests involved. All in any way iden-
titled with any of these bodies should
make it point to attend these meet
ings if at all practicable"

The Pittsburgh Stockman says -
This is the first winter in several years
in which there has been no epidemic
disease among the horses ofthe United
States. The several scourges, though
named differently, have been some
what similar in nature and effect, and
while varying in their degrees of fatal
ity, have uniformly resulted in greatly
dspreeiating the value Of their conva-
lescent victims. The appearance Of
the disease has always been early in
the season. a circumstance which
warrants the hope that this winter is
destined to be free from its ravages.
