The Altoona Tribune tells the following !:

ty. was taken in to the tune of $3.50 by
sharpers at O'Brien's show in West New

nation against the proprietor of the circus

but he at once went to the ticket wagon and
counted out 81 ,250 which he gave to Bell.

A New Fish story.

As the Juniata Piscatorial Association
were enjoying themselves at Entriken IS
land last week, they were joined by l. K.
Little and son of Saxton. The company
were lettering along the bank of the river
spinning yarns, smoking cigars, and trying
to keep cool, when Mr.. Little, Jr., who had
smoked his cigar up so short he couldn't
get 1t to his teeth any longer, tossed the
small bit of tobacco that remained into the
creek. There followed slight twirl in the
water as if fish had snapped a bait, and the
end of the cigar disappeared. A discussion
Immediately arose as to whether it was
bass or not, that had gone for the cigar
stump. Presently there was another hurry
in the water and bass eight inches long
Hoped to the shore and Mr.. Little, Jr., grab
bed the fish and held it fast. A post NOR TEN
examination on the body OF the fish, reveal
ed bit of tobacco leaf in its stomach. 1t
had taken its first lesson in smoking, and
with fatal effect. This is the latest use to
which the weed has been applied Everett

The most deadly foe to all maIsrisl dis
eases is Ayers Ague Cure, a combination
OF Vegetable ingredients only, of which the
most valuable is used in no other known
preparation. This remedy is an absolute and
certain specific, and succeeds when all 9th.
er medicines fail. A cure is warranted.
The Blair County Radical says: A "circle
hunt is talked Of to destroy a colony of
forty wild dogs infesting the foot of the
mountain near Altoona, between Dry Gan
Road and Mill Lane. The beasts recently
killed COW, and not long since ten of them
blocked the way of farmer on a country
road, and growled so fiercely that his horse
refused to pass them.
The Drexel Cottage in which General
Grant died on Mount McGregor was struck
by lightning on the evening of July IS, af-
ter nightfall. No damage was done except
ing the lights We're outened, and some plas-
tering was knock ed off in an upper room
and guard was stunned and almost fell on
the coffin OF the General. Two officers were
knocked down by the bolt in a hotel near
by.
The Town Council are advertising for
proposals to relay certain fsvements and
cutters, and by inference announce that
grades are to be changed. Certain property
holders have not protested against relay ing
t.f mt hays f.l
change in grade and destruction OF first rate
cutters, and among other reasons, state,
that buildings erected along the proposed
changes of grade were built not many years
ago according 10 present grade and that no
private or public interest unless it bei the in
terest OF the joboer requires or demands a
change of grade and that such a piece of
work would be useless, uncalled for and ex-
trayagant.
The Newport News of last week says
Tuesday OF last week Mr.. George W. Barner,
of Liverpool township, met with an accident
that may result in his death If it has not al
ready done so. He was riding his powerful
and famous stallion to water, when the ami
nal became fractions and Mr. Barner reined
him up quite severely. The horse reared
until he stood almost straight on his hind
legs and then fell backward. Mr.. Barner re-
mained astride OF him, rs the horses move
ments were only the work Of a moment, and
both went TO the earth together, the horse,
with all its great weight, ialling on his own
er. In ano ther moment the stallion had roll
ed away from the wounded man and arising
TO his ieet scampered Oft, while his victim
lay in the public road, badly injured. Both
bones OF his teft arm between the elbow an d
wrist were broken. The latter was disloca-
ted and his lett hip bone was split. His back
weighed heavily on a small stone, which al
most was imbedG ed in his flesh, while his
horse was on top OF hin. Severe internal
injuries were also experienced. He was
swollen about the loins and upper part of
his body on Saturday so badly that the skin
had the appearance of succumblng TO the
great pressure TO winch some places on his
person had turned blue, threatening mortI-
tication, which is speedily followed by death
in the ordinary nature of things. Mr.. Bar
ner is probably 40 years old, married and
has family.

REVIEWER.

The great popularity Of this preparation,
after its test of many years, should be an
assurance, even 10 the most skeptical, that
II is really meritorious. Those who have
used HALLS HAIR REVIEWER know that
II does all that is claimed.
1t causes new growth of hair on bald
heads-provided the hair follicles are not
dead, which is seldom the case; restores
natural color TO gray or faded hair; pre-
serves the scalp healthful and clear Of
dandruff; prevents the hair falling of or
changing color; keeps it soft, plant, lus-
trous, and causes it 10 grow long and
thick.
HALLS HAIR REVIEWER produces its
effects by the heslthful influence of its
vegetable ingredients, which invigorate
and rejuvenate. 1t Is not n dye, and Is
n delightful article for toilet use. Con-
tanning no alcohol, it does not evsp-
crate quickly and dry up the natural oil,
leaving the hair harsh and brittle, as do
other preparations.

all who wished might be present.
ENANISATIOwS.

Thirteen regular and one special exami-
nation wese held during the year. One hun
dred and thirty-two teachers were examin-
ed. Nine failed to pass and were not Ii
censed. Many of those who passed had
been attending school and took higher
grade of certificate than formerly. There are
still few teachers who are satisfied with
present attainments, and who make no effort
to improve.
COUNTY INSTITUTE.
All the teachers in the county, except
three, were present. The attendance of di-
rectors and friends of education was very
pleasing and encouraging, indeed the work
all through was practical, full of enthusiasm
and adapted to the ability and want of our
teachers. Our teachers were prompt and
punctial in their attendance, of the both
day and evening sessions, and are worthy
OF commendation for the aid rendered to
make the institute success.
LOCAL INSTITUTE.
Three local institutes were held at
Thompsontown, Richtield and McCoysville.
The meetings were were well offended by
teachers, d directors and patrons. have ev-
cry reison to believe TINT all who attended
these meetins were benefited, and that much
good resul ted from them.
CONCLUSION.
My thanks are due TO many of our direc-
tors aud citiz ems at whose hands have re-
ceived hospitable entertainment, and hear
ty sympathy and support in my labors. Ny
thanks are also due TO the teachers for the
support and kindness received at their
hands. am also very grateful to the De-
partment for the many acts of courtesy and
kindness received, and especially to DR.. E.

Rare Hawiin.n Birds.

Bv the steamer W. G. Hall the Hon. Mrs.
Dominis received from South Kona four liv-
ing specimens of the bird called the SOC"
from which are obtained the small golden
colored feathers used in making the cloaks
worn by members of the royal family of the
Hawaiian Kingdom. But two feathers
each about one-fourth of an inch long, are
obtained from each bird. In order to
avoid killing the birds to obtain these feath-
ers, those who hunt them, in the dense
woods where they have their habitat, tie to
the limbs of such honey-bearing flowers as
the birds resort to for food, and smear the
branches on which they are likely to alight
with the adhesive gum of the bread-fruit
tree. They then wait for the birds to be
caught by this bird-lime, and, after pluck
ing the feathers they want, let them go
again. Each feather is valued at about %
cents, and they are used to repair the
ancient cIoaks or to make new ornaments.

Punctuation In Early Days.


Caxton, the first English printer, had
three punctuation points-the comma.
the colon, and the period; but it is doubt
full if he had any idea of the principles of
punctuation. The confusion resulting
led to the separation of words by a single
dot Then a space between the words
superseded the dot, which was made to
perform another service, viz: to show the
division of a sentence.
Some of Cations books are entirely
without points In others, one of the
three points is used to the exclusion of the
others. Of the comma he used two sorts
a short and a long, but with no variation
in meaning. The semicolon had no exist
ence for him, though something like it ap-
pears once, and once only, in his great
heading type He used the hyphen con-
stantly and where the line was very close
spaced made the colon, which was much
thinner, do duty for it. The paragraph
mark, showing the commencement of a
new sentence, took the place of period,
the colored initial serving the same pur-
pose. 1t was not until the sixteenth cen
fury that printers began to adopt an ac
knowledged system of graduated points
