BATTLE WITH AN OTTER.-One day
last week two sons of II. Ecker, near
Owens creek, were blowing in a field when
their attention was attracted by the bark
ing of their two dogs in the woods close
by. Robert, the youngest, ran to see what
the cause was and discovered large otter.
The animal attacked him, and he, having
nothing to defend himself with, called for
his brother BY the time the latter arrived,
however, the animal had torn his pants
and took a piece out of his leg. The
brother, with the aid OF a club and the
dogs, succeeded in killing it before any
more damage was done 1t measured 3
feet II inches in length.

Editorial from the Philadelphia Daily
Times of May %:
Nothing could exceed the delight with
which the congregation, At the dedication
on Second Advent, corner Broad and Mt
Vernon streets, on Sunday last hailed the
unique effect of the Imitation Stained Glass
decoration made by Mr.. L. Lum Smith of
this city. The cost was but tritle yet no
one could tell the difference, from the in
side or outside, between this substitute and
the most expensive cathedral stained glass.
We understand that the congregations of
Trinity Baptist and Second Presbyterian
Churches, Camden n J H., Trinity Reform
ed Church, Norristown, Pa, and other
Churches in this vicinity, have decided to
similarly decorate their windows. a nov
81 plan is for each Sunday school class to
purchase the material and themselves dec
crate window in their Church as me
moral" We notice, it is also being very
extensively utilized in the decoration OF
windows, transoms and screens in fashion
able residences and stores, hotels, and
halls, its durability has given general sat
isfaction."
AS suggestion to our readers, who de-
light in fascinating occupations, we copy
the above There are many windows, that
can by means of this beautiful and mex
pensve b,ti1utcnot only have ncighbo
back wards, with their weekly display OF
soiled linen blank walls and the bold stare
of insolent strangers shut out, but the
beauty of the rooms themselves greatly en-
HANGED. Persons living in rented houses
and those about to move into their summer
residences can; if they prefer, attach the
material, to separate pancs which can be
temporarily tackled against the glass al
ready in the window, and these can he re-
moved and carried about from house to
house. This beautiful substitute is bril-
lianty and durably oil-painted on large
and small sheets, of tough translucent
medium as thin as tissue paper and can be
safely sent by mail. Any one can apply it
to glass already in windows, transoms, etc.
The numerously designed centres, corners,
borders, fancy patterns, various bright
colors and imitation lead lines are exqu-
site.
Workmen from Mr.. l.. Lum Smiths
Factory arrived from Philadelphia on

ed for decorating number of prominent
Residences, Halls and places of business in

mediately began and are now hurrying to
finish in time for the approaching open
ing .-Baltimore, Daily Herald, June 5, 's3.
