Care Of Harness.

There is very general neglect in the
care of farm harness. 1t is not only
economy 10 keep the harness well oiled
but it is much more comfortable to both
team and driver to have the leather soft
and yielding.
The following sensible hints on oiling
harness we take from an exchange:
There are many different applications
used and different modes are adopted
for employing them. A common way
is first to wash them thoroughly with
soap and warm water, and then to ap-
ply neats-foot oil, as the best oil for the
purpose. But different course is
adopted by others. One team manager
informs us that the first thing to do is
always to apply one or two coats of
castor oil with enough lamp black to
give proper color. BY thus saturating
the leather with oil first, the soap and
water applied afterwards do not pene-
trate it, and when leather is permitted
to absorb water it hardens it and ex-
cludes the oil. BY oiling first, the dirt
is softened so that it is easily washed
OFF, and this obviates much of the scrap
ing otherwise required, and the whole
operation may be performed at once.
After being oiled, wash it with a sponge
and soap suds, and when dry, rub over
it a mixture Of equal parts Of oil and
tallow, colored with lamp black. and
small portion of Prussian blue. Owners
of harness often think they havn't
time 10 care for harness in the way
named, but it is the haven't time
that keeps them poor. Detroit Post.

The School Exhibition.
Communicated,

AS our public schools are about to
close their work for a summer vaca-
ton, and as the principal and the
teachers in the several departments
of school advancement, at the sug-
gestion of the school board, have
been for some time engaged in the
work of preparation for public ex-
hibition of their scholars at the close
of the term, it is to be hoped-in-
deed expected, that the parents and
friends of school progress in our city
will by their presence on that occa-
sion, give the experiment an interest
that will be quite sure to make it a
success not only as a pleasing pub
lie entertainment, but an incentive
on the part of parents (who are
really the most concerned in the
workings of our public schools) to
give more of their personal attention
to the conducting of the school-room
exercises while under the supervi-
sing care of the teachers. H.. V. d.

OBITUARY.
MRS. JOHN BISHOP.

On Tuesday evening shortly after
eight o'clock as Mrs. John Bishop,
accompanied by her daughter Lizzie,
was returning from a visit to her
daughter, Mrs. B. C. Bennett. she
dropped dead. Miss Bishop was
walking a few steps ahead of her
mother, when she heard her utter a
slight exclamation, and looking
around, saw her falling to the
ground. DR.. Vivian was at once
called, but to no avail: life had fed.
About a year ago she received a
stroke of paralysis, and this was the
second and fatal one.
The deceased was sincere Chris
tian, respected and loved by all who
knew her, and her death is sincerely
mourned.

with congestive chill, which result
ed in death on Wednesday evening.

with crushing weight upon his be-

Terrible Boiler Explosion.

The Hazleton Daily Bulletin furnishes the
following account Of a sad boiler explosion
at Drifton on Thursday Of last week The
locomotive boiler in use at the Chamberlain
saw mill, Thursday, about mile west Of
Drifton, exploded with terrific force, e,instant-
ly killing the fireman, William Westscott
aud fatally injuring John Chamberlain, a
son Of the proprietor, and severely scalding
two others, one Of whom is named Purcell
One portion Of the boiler was carried up
ward striking and cutting off several trees
from 8 to 10 inches in diameter al disiHnte
of 30 feet from the ground then continuing
its fight for some 400 feet it came in com
tact with large log which was imbedded
in the hard frozen earth. Tbis it removed
from its resting place, and passing along
powed up the surface for some fifty feet
more, when its force was expended. The
other part of the boler went through the
mill completely demuishing il and the en-
gine, though fortunately nut injuring the
workmen, Of whom there were several EN-
ployed at the time. The mill after the ac-
cident resembled lot Of old lumber strewn
every which way. WestscotCs head was
pierced by probably piece of splinter which
passed completely through. His body was
hurled some 60 or 20 feet from where he
stood, in front of the boiler conversing with
John Chamberlain, who, 1t seems, simply
came to pay his father visit upon that very
morning. Chamberlain had his thigh
broken in several places, besides being 9th
er wise injured. These injuries resulted in
his death Saturday morning. His remains
were taken on the 3;45 Lehiyh Valley train
to his home at Weatherly where he was
employed as an engineer. He was mem.
Der of Weatherly Post P. o. s. Of A., and
leaves awife AMI two children to mourn their
loss. The remains of Westscott were inferred
iu the Freeland cemetery Saturday. A sad
part Of the affair is the lack Of knowledge
as to the whereabouts OF the relatives of
Westscott. He appears never to have mem
toned his home and his effects apparently
threw no light upon the matter. 1t is be-
ieved by some that his parents reside along
the West Branch, while others aver that his
home is near Bloomsbury. As yet, his rela-
tives haye not been heard from. There
seems to be reason to think that his home
was in Philadelphia. The two who were
scalded were removed to the hospital and
are doing as we'll as can be expected. w.
II. Chamberlain, the owner of the mill is
especially subject worthy of sympathy, as
only last winter his mill was burnt down
and he was but recovering from the shock
when this accident sweeps away his all. A
sad, sad fnis to the struggles Of one whose
labors are almost ended.

After Policy Dealers,

There was breeze in policy dealing cir
cles in Allentown Friday night when it was
rumored that proceedings were about being
instituted against certain deLlers. Several
years ago, Peter S. Keck lodged Information
against, policy dealers, but the matter was
never pushed. Now, through the influence
Of prominent merchants, he has given in
formation of a damaging character against
Edwin Stelz and W. E. German, policy
dealers, who were arrested on last Saturday
morning and held in 5000 each for their
appearance at Court. Keck says that when
hits are made the money is not forthcoming,
and that hundreds Of people in that city
spend their all in the business. The reason
the merchants are interested is because
many of their customers run up bills and
spend their money playing policy aud they,
the merchants are the losers. 0.her arrests
are looked for as the merchants say they
mean To push the prosecutions until the
business is broken up.
Four more arrests have been made OF per.
sons alleged To he concerned in the policy
business in Allentown. The first Of the
prisoners this week was William T. Ham
mersly, the charge being brought 10y Sassa
man Keck, and the defendant was held in
$500. 1t is estimated that at least fifly per.
sons caru their livelihood in the policy bus :
ness as managers hackers aud runners, and
among this class there exists considerable
alarm. The game costs tho players $5O, 900
year at the lowest estimate.
