The barn of w. II. Robinson of Cushing,
was burned Monday afternoon of last week,
together with its contents, reports the Rock
land Opinion. There was a pig, about two
tons of hay, a lot of ash plank, and large
number of Juniper posts. The wind, being
southwest, blew the flames from the house,
else that would have shared the same fate
The fire was set by Mr.. Robinson's two
youngest children, boy about four and girl
about three years old-the hero and heroine
of the throat cutting affair last winter. The
boy got slightly burned in trying to quell the
flames

A Spring Opening.

We have none. No chance for
it. If we would keep our choice
things put away until given time,
and then offer them to the public
all at once, we should be foiled, for
people come in the winter when the
frost is in the air, and snow and ice
hold the earth in bondage, while our
preparations are just forming for
the spring campaign, and demand
the new goods. Itwould be ungra-
cious to refuse and SO, perlorce, we
cannot have Spring Opening.
But we can open with spring, and
as VIC write, while hardly bursting
bud is to be seen upon the trees,
the spring trade is springing on us
with a refreshing rush. Times dull,
you say? Not to the bold dealer
that takes no counsel of fear. And
Oak Hall is just such. Already the
opening spring tells Of abundant
sales just ahead.

Early Pinks.

The sort that we cultivate at Oak
Hall are well-dressed young men.
In pursuit of our great mission Of
making young men as charming as
early pinks, we have arranged a set
ofsizes denominated "Yopng Gents"
which cover the larger youths and
smaller mems sizes. Special pat
terms were prepared for this class of
stock, and into it we introduce all
possible style Of cut, material and
make. The prices range from $3.50
to $4,000. Elsewhere in our stock
are choice materials beautifully
made, but nowhere else in Oak
Hall is there such a concentration
of superiority. The generation OF
men for whom these goods were
made cannot recall the time when
there was no Oak Hall in Philadel-
phia. And yet there is no proof Of
the perennial youth of Oak Hall
equal to that which is found in this
particular stock.

MILK vs., Beer,

For several days past Liquor Bailiff
Ogle has been dodging in and out of the
Municipal Court room, and the repor-
ters came to the conclusion that some.
thing was in the wind. Nothing, how
ever, could be ascertained until this
morning, when the my ystery was solved,
by George Barenbach being arraigned
on a charge of violating the liquor law,
by selling liquor without license at
his saloon on Eighth avenue near
Brown street. The prisoner was repre-
sented by Harry Sharpley, Esq.
A milkman testified that he some
times traded the accused milk for beer.
and when he would give BarenbaCh h
n quart of milk, he would receive a
glass of beer and one cent for it. An
other witness testified that he had
drank beer in the place, but never paid
anything for it, as Barenbach gave il
to him for helping around.
LiquorBailiff Ogle took the stand, and
testified that while Barenbach had a
certificate showing that he had paid the
United States special tax to sell liquor,
he has no State license. He applied at
the November Court but was refused,
and Specht s. Spain made application
at the May term for license for the
Saiue mousse, anu were reIuSeu. lue III
formation in this case, on which the
Bailiff had the warrant issued was fur
nished by lawyer, as also the names
of the witnesses.
He testified that he frequently receiv.
ed anonymous communications call
ing his attention to places where the
law was violated, but never paid any
attention to them. The Judge decided
to hold the accused for trial, and fixed
the bail at 5000.

One OF them was asked II fthey had
any newspapers, and he replied that
almost every one In the neighborhood
subscribed TO some paper, and that he
took one. published IN New York, and
another from Philadelphia. The re-
porter noticed the names of Blaine and
Logan painted on the boards of one of
the buildings, and asked one of the
miners how the men stood politically
when he replied we are ali for Blaine
and Logan, as we know what is for our
good. 1 feel certain that the miners,
and all connected with the iron bust.
ness, will give their support to the Re-
