Cattle Stolen.

On Thursday night five fat steers were
stolen from pasture field on the farm
of Thomas S. Marshall, near Yorklin,
Chester county, Pa. They were track
ed for some distance and Mr.. Marshall,
becoming convinced that they had been
taken to Philadelphia, went in company
with another man to that city yesterday.
They found the cattle, which are worth
about 800, at a drove yard in charge of
u man who stated that they had been
brought there by two men who offered
to sell them at about half their value
As he suspected they had been stolen he
agreed to buy them, and gave the men
$40. He told them that they would have
to accompany him to bank in the city
to obtain the balance of the money, and
after he had them in town handed them
over to the police, and concluded to keep
the cattle at the yard Il few days, feeling
positive that the owne. would hunt
them up.
Mr.. Marshall visited the men at the
station house ane found that he was ac-
quainted with both, one being farmer
from his immediate neighborhood and
the other man who for some time had
been employed at a kaoline works near
IIockessin. The men will be delivered
over to the authorities of Chester county
for trial at West Chester next week.

Musical Treat.

The Kempa family appeared in College
Oratory, this town, on Tuesday evening,
before an adencc while small in num-
bers, were truly appreciative. The fam
lily orchestra consists of father and three
daughters. Each selection rendered
drew forth rounds of hcartiest applause,
and in nearly every instance the pre-
former was made to do double duty.
The violin and cello solos were MASTER
pieces, and too much praise cannot be
bestowed upon the performers. The
managers of the Reciew, under whose
efforts, we are indebted for the evening
of pure enjoyment, deserve more than
mere thanks, and we trust that in the
future their efforts will receive IL more
substantial recognition from the citizens
of this town.

Smart Men.

There are numbers of men in this
country who think themselves smart.
No one can fool them they can't be de-
ceived, and there is no game of chance,
let it be what it may, they know all
about it and can win, when they play
lin their estimation)tell others how to
win. This is the sort of smart men we
mean. You can tell them whenever
they are to be seen. We read about
them, nearly every day. They generally
show some of their smartness ut agricul-
tural fairs. If there is swindler on the
ground they will soon find him, and be-
fore the game has progressed far they
are minus what capital they had in cash,
These smart fellows 90 to the city, and
there thev want to be Il little smarter
than when at home they soon make
themselves conspicuous objects for bunko
stearers, and are taken in. 1t is useless
to tell what the result is. These smart
men refuse to subscribe for Il paper, be-
ausc they think they know lust about
AS much as the editor knows and car
take care of themselves; beside the pa
per never has anything in it," These
same men are just the individuals that
sharpers, going through the country arr
looking for. 1t is very wrong for MAJ
to think he knows everything, because
he often gets left. Never try to show
your smartness, and you will be like
better. Above all things take goo'
newspaper or two and keep yourse
posted in the way men are gulled, an'
YOU will be wiser every day. BE careful
about these fellows who call on you witt
some trashy stuff to sell, for in nine case
out Of ten you are fooled.

The coast of Oregon is dotted with de-
posts of shells, the only records left of
numerous race of people now practically
extinct. The traveller is told that they
were formed bv the fish-eating Indians.
1t is probable that the Indians of the in
land valleys made trips to the coast and
feasted on shellfsh at certain seasons.
There must have been immense numbers
of them, as the shell deposits are numer-
Gus and many of them extensive. Some
of them are on the very shore of the
ocean, where they are laid open to view
by the wearing away of the bank others
are situated along bays and streams,
many hidden by covering of soil and
unnoticed till penetrated by the spade Of
the laborer or the pillow af the husband

Sunlight,

No article of furniture that will not
stand sunlight should be put in Il room,
for every room in dwelling should
have the windows so arranged that some
time during the day the sunlight may
enter freely into the apartments. The
importance of admitting the light of the
sun freely to all parts of our dwellings
cannot be too highly estimated Indeed
perfect health is nearly as dependent on
pure sunlight as it is on pure air. sun
light should never be excluded, except
when so bright as to be uncomfortable
to the eyes. And walking should be in
bright sunlight. And sun-bath is of
more Importance in preserving health
full condition of the body than is gener-
ally understood. 1t is Il well-established
fact that the people who live much in
the sun are generally stronger and more
in the sun are generally stronger and
more healthy than those whose occupa-
tons deprive them of sunlight.

time, in company with another little boy
and was struck by train on the p. w.

home of his parents and DIR. Flynn of
Newport was sent for, but life was al
ready extinct. Mrs. Mendinhall knew
nothing of the accident until she arrived
home from Wilmington between and 7

How to Clean a Room Thoroughly.

All the articles of furniture should be
taken from their places, and if possible
out of the room, If the chairs and
lounge are upholstered. they should be
thoroughly beaten with Il furniture whip,
such us are sold at hOuse-furnishing
stores. 1t can be made by lightly braid
ing or twisting together two or three rat
tans, and uniting the ends in handle,
and are an excellent article with which
to beat out the dust from all furniture,
mattresses, and carpets. After beating
the two first articles they should be
brushed over with Il feater duster, and
wiped off with a soft cloth.
If the furniture cannot be removed
from the rooms, cover it with pieces of
cloth, such as old sheets or table cloths.
But the better plan is to purchase TWEEN
ty yards of cheap cotton ut four or five
cents a yard-the cheapest madc-and
sew it together in strips like sheets, and
keep them especially for the purpose of
covering beds and furniture, not only in
seasons of scmi-unnual, but also weekly
cleaning, taking care, however to wash
them occasionally, The pictures, drap-
cries and blinds must then be taken
| down, busted and cleaned. If it has been
decided that the paperers and painters
are not needed do not neglect the white
washer, for his work is very essential
TO the freshness of chambers; besides,

man sitting next to me who appeared
to be an aristocratic person as far as his
clothes went, but when ! looked up in
his face behold he had no nose and was
minius of an ear, He had a wax part
to his face, and from my position could
see up underneath the mask. He had no
doubt been accustomed to this misfor-
tune for wears, as he took in all the sur
roundlngs. Looking across to the seats
opposite was cripple, for he had with

THE METHODIST MINISTERS.
Discussion Of the Subject, Ethics of Infidel-
ity"-Dr. Bowman Invited to Address Them.

The Methodist ministers of the city met as
usual yesterday morning, Rev. S. A. Bright
presiding. The subject for discussion was
'The Ethics of Infdelity, and it was introduced
by Rev. j. A. Ward Dr. Ward said that he
did not believe that infdelity had any system OF
morals. 1t lays down no rules of action, save
that you must not believe in the Bible. The
infideiity of the blatant type is not honest.
Whenever you find parading infdel
notions you may be sure of some mercenary
motive. Whenever you find an honest man be-
logged with doubts, you don't hear him saying
anything about it, and for the simple reason that
every sensible man knows that infdelity never
was known to make any one better. Infdels
don't believe there is hell simply because they
don't want to go there when they die.
DIR. Alabaster asked what foundations has
infdelity for a system of ethics2 We have no
example of a positively atheistic community.
Infdels in Christian communities may profess
unbelief, but so far as they have system OF
ethics they are Christian.
DIR. Marine said Webster defines an infdel as
one who does not believe in the divinity of the
Lord Jesus Christ. Taking this definition, there
may be room for acode of ethics Stark atheism,
believing in no God or no Bible while they may
set up claim for the natural code of ethics, as
to their ability to substanstiate this claim we
question
DR.. Doddridge called attention to the fact
that Spencer has formulated code of ethics,
which DIR. Alabaster met by remarking that this
code was found under the light of revelation;
they do not dare to 60 to aboriginal life and
work out their code from that basis. The code
in question is based upon pure selfshness, ard is
thereby vulnerable.
An invitation extended to DR.. Bowman,
dean of the theological school at DePauw Uni
versity, to address the ministers association at
his own convenience, and DR.. Doddridge was
appointed committee to convey the invitation.
Dr. McCoomer stated that $50 was needed to
free the Simpson Chapel from debt, and asked
for contributions
The subject for the next meeting. two weeks
from yesterday, will be Pulpit Notices." and

Suit to Set Aside Sale.

Last November Isaac and Alonzo j. Morris, of
Michigan on the order of A. G. May, of this
city, shipped to East St Louis two carloads
of barrel headings and slaves. May accepted
two drafts of thirty and sixty days. but in Janu-
ary the Morrises brought suit and obtained
judgment for their claim. Execution was re-
turned unsatisfed. Yesterday the Michigan
firm filed their complaint to have the conveyance
of certain real estate to Amanda May set aside
1t is claimed by the Morrises that when they
sold the material they supposed the business
was with Alva C. May individually, but since
then they have discovered that partnership ex-
listed between Alva C. and Andrew May. To
the latter they allege Alva conveyed real estate
in S. A. Fletchers and Hit, Taylor & Hoyt's
subdivision on the 18th of November 1884, and
that on Jan. s, 1885, the heirs of Andrew May
who died in December 1884, conveyed this real
estate, with other lots, to Amanda May. Com
planants say that this property is worth Sic, 00O
and want the conveyance declared null and
void and subjected to the payment Of the judg-
ments they hold against A. c. May.
