SCARCITY OF DwELLINGs.-Mo
town is just now suffering for want
of both dwelling and business houses.
Every nook in and about the place
is rented for the ensuing year and we
know of several families who are still
unprovited for, with moving day less
than week distant. Property own
ers claim that the rents do not pay
the investments in property and the
tenants complain that rents are too
high, hence there ism building. This
unfortunate state of affairs is draw
back to the place. With the influx
of population the building Of rail
roads will bring, it is going to be a
serious question how to dispose of
them. Who can offer solution for
the problem?

DEATH OF Col. D. r. DAVIDSON
Col. Daniel r. Davidson, of Beaver,
Pa, died at Hot Springs, Arkansas,
on Tuesday the 10Th inst. aged 65
years. The Colonel had many friends
in this county who will sincerely re-
greet to learn of his death. He was
one of the leading men of the coke
region and an enterprising and sue
cessful business man. From the
Pittsburgh Commercial Gazette we
extract the following bit Of his his
tory: He was foremost in the build
ing of the Pittsburgh & Conncllsville
branch of the B. & o. r. R., and was
really its father. He was also the
originator of the Southwest branch of
the p. r. r. thus securing railroad
advantages without which the Con-
nellsville coke fields would have re-
manned undeveloped. In pushing for
ward the coke industry he was close
ly allied with Mr.. H. C. Frick, Col.
Schoonmaker and others. Recently
be, with Congressman Wilson, of
West Virginia, purchased extensive
tracts of coal lands in the vicinity of
Morgantown, w. Va, fully confident
that the extension of railroads to
that region will develop it into rich
mineral fields. For business energy
and unerring tact Col. Davidson was
remarkable. During his life he was
President of both the Shoe and Leath-
er Bank and National Bank Of Com
merce Of Pittsburgh. He was at the
time of his death director in the
Southwest road and in the Pittsburgh
4 Connellsville Gas Coal and Coke
Company. and also engaged in other
business enterprises. For some time
past he resided in Beaver, which
place he left some two months ago
for the Hot Springs, where he remain
ed up to the tine of his death. His
illness arose from injuries received .
year or more ago in an accident to q
Pullman car upon which he was rid
ing over the p. R. r. He leaves a
family, among whom are Mr.. w. j.
Davidson, formerly Assistant Post
master at Pittsburgh, and Chas. Da-
wilson, present Superintendent for
the p. 4 6. Coke Company.

THE REPUBLICANS HAD TO Go"-The
following touching incident is related
by the Philippi Republican and is
given as true story: Three prom
inent young Republicans ofthis place
were out walking Sunday afternoon
with three of the fairest of Philippi's
young ladies who happened to live in
close proximity to each other and are
of strong Democratic antecedents.
just when the couples, on their return
had reached the gate of the young
ladies' homes, one of the latter re-
marked that the Republicans must
go" and the Radicals thereupon skip
ped. But two of them went back
otter supper.

The INSANE AsYLUM-CRowDED
WITH PATIENTs.-We clip the follow
ing from the Wheeling Journal of
the 10Th: There will he 800 patients
in the Insane Asylum at Weston this
evening. Eight were taken from this
city this morning; seven from Ohio
county and one from Wetzel From
this county there were three females
and four males. There are now near
~ one hundred insane patients from
this county in the asylum.
DR.. Bland says that the asylum is
crowded to it's utmost receiving and
accommodating capacity, and that
other buildings will have to be added
or an additional story put on the one
stored wing. This, he said, would
be the cheapest and quickest way 70
enlarge the buildings, and will give
room for about one hundred patients.
1t is certain, that owing to the rapid
increase of insanity in the State, the
Legislature will be called on to make
some provision for this large and un
fortunate class of people.

HIRscHMAN's New STocK.-For sew

at Hirschman's almost daily. His

Anyway, Hirschman has the goods

BEHIND OUR MASKS.

If we could only read each others hearts,
we would be kinder to each other. If we
knew the woes and bitterness and physical
annoyances of our neighbors, we would make
allowances for them which we do not now.
We go about masked, uttering stereotyped
sentiments, hiding our hea-t-pangs and our
headaches as carefully as we can; and yet we
wonder that others do not discover them by
intuition. We cover our best feelings from
the light; we do not SO conceal our senti-
ments and dislikes, of which we are prone to
be proud. Often two people sit close to-
gether, with 81 love you" in either heart,
and neither knows it. Either thinks, " I
could be fond; but what.use of wasting fond
ness on one who does not care for it 2" and
SO they part, and go their ways alone. Life
is masquerade, at which few unmask, even
unto their very dearest And though there is
need of much masking, would to heaven we
dared show plainly our real faces from birth
to death, for then some few, at least, would
truly love each other.

An evidence of the facility with which
frozen fish can be restored to life is thus
given by correspondent of the American
Angler. 60 fish-dealer in Salineville, Ohio
received box of frozen fish from Cleveland
during one of the recent billiards.. They
were so hard and brittle that they had to be
handled with great care to keep them from
breaking to pieces. He sold one to an old
lady who took it home and put it in a bucket
of cold water to thaw out gradually. During
the night she heard something splashing
around in the kitchen Surprising it was a
cat trying to get the fish, she jumped out of
bed seized the broom and rushed to the
scene She found the fish Topping in the
pan. AS near as could be learned this fish
had lain out in the cold two nights before be-
ing packed in boxes, and had been out of
the water for more then two weeks"

place in the Sharptown cemetery Mrs.
Thompson was a woman of considerable
property, and was widely known and beloved
for her kindness of heart and deeds of be-
nevolence. She had been able to go about
but little in the last few years of her life on
account of paralytic affection, which finally
caused her death.
