The pictures of every. conceivable
character, from grave to gay, from the
sublime to the ridiculous, give warn
ing that st. Valentins's-day, the l4th
of February, is fast approaching. Bar
ley's Dictionary says: about this
time of the year the birds choose their
mates, and probably thence came the
custom of the young men and maidens
choosing valentines or special loving
friends on that day" The custom of
sending grotesque, ridiculous and in
sulting caricatures is probably of mod
ern origin.
There was fair attendance at the
sessions of the Fsrmers' Institute at
the Opera House Monday and Tuesday
last, despite the bitter cold weather
which kept many away who had de-
signed to attend. We regret the cir
cumstances which prevented our being
present and making a full report of
the proceedings, which are said to
have been of great interest and profit
to the agriculturists in every branch
of their noble calling, and consequent
ly to the community in general.
1t was not just the right thing to do,
when the presiding officer Of the
Farmers Institute, after making an
announcement and in regaining his
seat made faux pas, and, like certain
great General, got his headquarters
where his hind quarters ought to have
been, for the whole audience to set up
a wild cachination over his calamity.
Most men would have been fearfully
embarrassed by the occurrence, but
our friend A. S. Deecher preserved his
equanimity most admirably under the
trying ordeal.

That R0V.

In certain neighborhood, not many
miles away, reside a Congregational
minister and a Democratic editor,
whose families are on the most friend
ly social relations. On recent occa
sion little girl of the editors house
hold made brief neighborly call at
the minister's residence The minis
ter being absent from home, his good
wife was mistress of ceremonies. She
invited the little miss to stay to tea.
AS they drew up to the table, bright
little five-year old son of the Dominic
opened up with Il know what we do
at our house that you don't at yours"
Here his mother interposed to restrain
him, but twas useless, he was bound
to let it out, and continued, We ask
a blessing, and you don't" And hsIe
his mother made another fruitless eff
fort to stop him. fIe added, And /
know the reason.n The mother here
com mmenced the ceremony of saying
grace, during which time the boy
maintained strict silence till the amen
was uttered, when he added, Its
because you're Democrats" The lad
is doubtless correct in the main, but in
assigning the reason for the neglect,
he is probably misinformed.

A Brutal Assault.

About one o'clock last Thursday af-
ternOon Curg." Thompson commit
ted most brutal assaultupon his wife
at their residence on South Prospect
street, striking her a severe blow upon
the back of her head with a cast iron
or bronZed bust. telling her to the
floor insensible, and cutting CHASTITY
wound, from which the blood flowed
profusely. The screams of the woman
and her children soon brought crowd
of indignant people to the scene. A
physician was sent for, who dressed
the wound, which, though severe, he
pronounced not serious. Thompson
was taken in custody by an officer and
conveyed before Justice Sperra, where
he plead guilty to the assault, and was
sentenced to pay fine of$i5 and costs
which not being forthcoming no was
taken to Jail. Before night he man
aged to make a raise of the amount
and was released, when he vamosed

Five hundred large hospital tents will be pitched

The LegitiAaate Drama.

The accomplished yonng actress,
Miss Gertrude Elliott, supported by a
talented company, will appear at the
Opera House, Monday and Tuesday
nights, next week, Jan. 29th and 30th.
She will assume the title roles of
Pauline, in Bulwer Lyttons' beautiful
Drama, The Lady of Lyons" and
Juliet in Shakespeare powerful TRACE
dy of Romeo and Juliet" The press
universally, where she has appeared,
speak in the most f1attering terms of
her ability as true artist:
The Boston Herald says: Miss
Elliott is an actress beyond the ordi-
nary merit and ability, and is sincere
and natural. We predict for her a
brilliant future.n
The Petersburg, Va, Index-Appeal:
"Her acting is powerful. She was
not herself, but Juliet, in every sense.
1.-THE Altoona Daily Tribune, Dec so:
1.-THE gifted young actress, Miss
Gertrude Elliott, and powerful com
pany, gave a second entertainment in
the Opera House, producing Shakes
peare's tragedy of Romeo and Juliet.
To say that both entertainments were
first class, and the best that have ever
been given in our city, is not saying
too much.
The Altoona Times
Miss Elliott was beautiful in her
tender, contiding love, and while the
passion and scorn of the fourth called
forth the real genius of the actress, the
fifth and final scene portrayed her real
depth of character.
The Chicago News Letter
Her acting was graceful and free,
and her emotional scenes compare with
mauy of our former eminent and lead
ing artists on the Americen stage.
