A MAN in Westmoreland county
claims to have picked up live turtle
with the inscription, "Adam: year = !"
engraved on its back. That might
easily happen. 1t doesn't take boy
much longer to carve Adam: year :"
on a turtles back than it does to put on
the legend &C. w. 1776."

THE New London Day, which has
twice recently erred in announcing the
death of people, the last victim being
the son of Captain Emmons, announces
that hereafter any young man bringing
news of death at an hour so late as to
make verifcation impracticable, must
be accompanied by the remains, not
necessarily for publication, but as a
guaranty of good faith.

day in the second annual convention of the
Newsdealers and Stationers' National asso-
citation of America, holding its sessions at

against the American News company by es-
tabishing arrival agency for the sale and dis
tribution of newspapers and periodicals.
Al the last convention tho officers were
directed 10 organize a cooperative associa-
ton, in accordance with which there was
opened in New York on June lst, the News
dealers and Stationers' cooperative supply
company, with capital of $50, 900 in shares OF
$40 each. Its objects are stated to be "tbe
purchasing, carrying, distribution and sale
of all kinds of newspapers, periodicals and
other printed matter, in such manner as shall
best conduce to the satisfaction and benefit
of the trade, and the firms or individuals
whose publications we may handle"
A majority of the stock is held by tho Off.
GERS of the association, and pays no divid ends.
The remainder is open to subscription from
members of the association. At present the
supply company handles only the daily pa.
pers of New York, but as soon as agencies
are organized in other cities it will supply
other publications.

ary by the synod Of the Reformed church,
preached very interesting and impressive
sermon in the German language in the
Reformed church on Sunday morning. In
the evening the reverend gentleman lee
tured in the same church on California. He
began by describing the climate and various
mineral and vegetable productions of the
state and also the manner and customs of the
people. The entire discourse was instructive

filled with people, who seemed to be highly
pleased with the lecture.

A Child In Peril.

William Hickman, resides at Peach Bot
tom, this county. On Monday his three
year-old son after wandering about walked
on the Columbia & Port Deposit railroad, near
by, and set down on the track. The little
fellow grew tired and lay down between the
rails and soon fell asleep with his head
upon one of them. Amer lying there for
some time train came over the road Just as
Washington Webb was passing by where the
innocent boy was sleeping. Mr.. Webb
sprang upon the track and snatched the
sleeper from his dangerous bed when the
train Numbered on. 1t was fortunate that
Mr.. w. happened along at that time as
the locomotive was not many feet from the
place where the boy lay and as he was not
seen by the engineer his death would have
been certain.

why Chief Justice Mc3iinn Abandoned M
Caso Against Emanuel Hoheiu.

Cuso Against Emeuuol BOhoiu.
Emanuel Hohein, residing IN West Orange
street, has pig pen on his premises which
seemed to worry Alderman McGlinn. That
official made complaint against Hohein for
maintaining a nuisance before himself, but
was unable to find any one Of Mr.. Hohen's
neighborhood who thought the pen, which
had been there for many years, anuisance. The
alderman upon ascertsining that he would
have trouble making out a case, informed
Hohein that he had better settle the
matter by paying the costs, which would be
75 cents. Hohein did not then pay the amount
and when he went to do so, to avoid further
trouble, McGlinn told him 1t would cost
sl90. Yesterday Hohein went to see Mo
Glinn again, and the squire said II would
cost Sl0 to settle. Hohein then demanded q
hearing and took counsel In tho matter.
When the squire was confronted by lawyer
and saw that Hohein was In earnest
he wilted and said he would bt
willing to lose his costs,
The case was therefore dismissed, and the
noble chief justice of the Fifth ward received
no money for a case which he started without
having foundation.
