How Car Conductor Was Cured of
" Knocking Down."

no" Car Conductor Was Cured of
" Knocking Down"
A Sixth avenue car was lodging
falling spikes and oil drippings from

A weary load of uncomfortable pas

Varick street came youth with light
blue eyes and halo of mildness and
trustfulness all around him. He had n

The conductor had not these character
istlcs, for the ways of the "kuocker
down" were not unknown to his cellu-
Tod soul. The youth found two or
three square inches of unoccupied at
mosphere IN which TO stow himself. and
while he stood by the side of a HeraIo

Then came long gaze az the number

ductor, who was becoming Interested
IN the proceedings. and the youth made
no secret of the fact that his number
was being placed upon the paper. The
street name upon a lamp-p post was
copied. the book closed with slap and.
along with the pencil, was put away.
Then he touched the arm OF the con

The following little extract from
the Brookville Republican of last
week may be warming Of some use
in these parts, at any rate it will do
no harm to look it over: Thursday
last, on the Information of lady re-.
siding in West Brookville, two little
girls were arrested and taken before
Squire Walker. charged with trespass,
they having gone into the garden of
the lady informing against them, and
taken of the grapes there growing.
The charge WIS sustained, and under
the recent act of the Legislature, the
Justice had but two alternatives left
him, impose the fine Of $500 as pro.
vided in the law, or, in default of pay
ment, commit the parties TO Jail. The
fine was not paid aud in consideration
Of the tender years Of the accused,
they we're given in charge of Deputy
Sheriff. Wilson, who detained them
until their parents secured their re-
lese This is the first case in our town
under the new law, but in view Of the
great annoyance experienced by many
of our citizens from the trespassing of
their neighhor's children, it is great
wonder that the protection Of the law
is not INVOKED every day, there being
certainly great provocaliou in many
instances. The law was enacted for
the protection of citizens in the pos.
session Of their property, is righteous
in its provisions, and we will hail the
auspicious moment when it is vigorous.

buried four of his children on last
Wednesday, all of whom had died
within "a hours, from the disease.
His remaining child, his oldest boy is
not expected to live. His wife is also
sick with the same disease. A very
distressing circumstance connected
with the death of his children is that
among those dead is his only daughter,
the only daughter ever known to be
born in the Barton family Of which
he is a descendant. OF others sick
with diphtheria there is Mr.. Grays
family of four children, Mrs, John r.

In August, 1878, q. A. Wood &
Co. commenced the manufacture, in
Philadelphia, Of the now we'll known
Philadelphia Singer Sewing Machines.
AT first they onl y made ten machines
week. Their business has steadily
increased, until now they are probably
the largest manufacturers of this style
Of machine in the United States.
They do business on liberal and just
basis. They sell,a three drawer, drop
leaf and cover machine for the low
price Of twenty dollars, including all
the extra attachments, and warrant
them for three years. They offer to
send one to any responsible man or
woman, to be tested in their own house
two weeks before they pay one cent.
This is certainly a fair proposition.
They have found this way of doing
business more satisfactory than to DO
as other companies do who charge for.
ty to fifty dollars for machines, and
pay agents twenty dollars apiece to
sell them. We advise all in want of
a machine to send for circular and
testimonials. Address @. A. Wood q

The Widows Wit.

A dashing Washington widow who
had received marked attention from a
very popular and gallant physician,
says the Boston Herald, found herself
suddenly deserted. Her Esculapius,
aged So. was completely enthralled by
a beauty of Is, and on Christmas
morning the wedding took place with
all due pomp. Norwood for the
widow! She swallowed it bravely,
wore an undaunted front, and was
among the first to offer hurried con-
CALCULATIONS to the happy pair. The
conversation turned upon Christmas
gifts, and the bride said, laughing
gayly: "All my wedding present were
sent just before Christmas, SO on
Christmas morning I had not a single
gift" "Ah, my dear! that was cruel !
You had mel" said the bridegroom,
reproachfully. Before the pretty bride
could answer, the widows eyes grew
dangerous, and swinging slowly her
large fan she murmured: "Surely.
my dear Mrs. X, you should be
o than satisfied, for you know an
tiquities are all the rage!' In the aw-
full silence following the widow rose,
carefully arranged her draperies, and
bowed her adieu in stately serenity.
DR.. X and his BRIDE oever ra.
turned her call.
