Peter Rathburger, tonsorial artist at
Gran bury, had call a few days ago from
man by the name John Manchester, who de-
sired to have facial operation made upon
him. The knight of the razor readily ac-
quiesced and the work began. While the
performance was going on the barber hap
pened to think of a little debt of ten cents
his customer owed him and he accordingly
compelled the debtor to pay up before the
shave could be finished
No sooner had he received his pay thu he
stopped his work altogether leaving his Gus

face cleanly shaven, while on the other side
full beard presented itself. Manchester

The River Falling at st. Louis.

ST. LOUIS, Feb. 12.-The river is falling
rapidly, the decline being fully foot and
half in thirtysix hours, aud the bank is full
of heavy ice. The ferry boats were obliged
to suspend their trips. Another gorge is not
apprehended Immediately, but if the river
continues to fall very rapidly, or the weather
does not materially moderate soon, the ice
may lodge somewhere between here and
Cairo before many days. The Silver, Tyler,
and one or two other steamers between here
and Cairo are in safe harbors so far as
known, and trouble to them is not expected.
The weather is colder again to-day, but not
freezing very hard

Jennie Lyman, a pretty, well educated and
fashionable young lady. of this city, went to
New York to study elocution. She met Max
Roseburg, theatrical man, and after short
acquaintance married him. The ceremony
was kept secret for some time, but when
her parents heard of it they brought her
home, and she mingled with her friends
again as Jennie Lyman. Several months
ago she sued for divorce, and the knowl-
edge Of her marriage created big sensa-
ton. She alleged infidelity, i'll treatment

Vass1r Girls APpetites.
From tho Trav Tima.

From the Troy Times.
The financial troubles at Vassar college
have been the subject of much surprise and
regret. The regret still exists, but the sur
prise has vanished in the light of recent
statistics. The sad revelation of the enor-
nous apetites Of the students explains the
disastrous showing of the treasurer. The
college consists of 300 female collegians, and
they are all hungry. In the last year they
not only ate up all the profit, but actually
left the college $40, 900 behind. Tie public
has an impression that the Vassar girl is an
aesthetic, ethereal creature more interested
in the decin alton of the stars or Greek verbs
| than in beefsteak and clans. Her declining
ends with her studies, however, and at the
table she refuses nothing. She is an enor-
nous eater. Last year the ravenous 300
it's shame to give the figures, but it must
be done --devoured l 1862 gallons of oysters.
That is over five gallons per girl. The fig
| ures for clans are not so startling. During
the year the college used 80, 900 clans. This
| is only 100 year for each student, but Is q
good showing when added to the five gallons
of oysters. But it is when the 300 attack
fresh meat that they show what they can
really do. The years record shows con-
sumption of Ill ,439 pounds, or 81 pounds
for each girl. Great Scout is it any Won
der Vassar girls don't marryl A man OWN
ing cattle ranch might afford to support
wife from this hungry institution, but moss
men have neither that nor butchershop at
their disposal. The 800 girls drank during
1884 10000 quarts of milk, or 300 quarts
apiece. Fortunately for the milkmen of
Poughkeepsie the Hudson river was near at
hand. Up to this point the statistics are
doubtless correct, but the few remaining
figures given are evidently defective. 1t is
stated that the girls ate during the year 104
pickles. As this is little more than third
of pickle apiece there is apparently some
mistake. 1t should probably read "l04
pickles day." Even this is small allow
ance, but the 300 redeem themselves amply
when apple-sauce comes in. The figures
show that each girl ate nearly two gallons of
applc-saucc during the year.
