Opinion Divided Az to Merits.

FROM the Champefsprig Valley Spirit
Last fall ii. l. Sfitz came to Chambersburg
and after muck vassng succeeded in col
lecting class of ladies to receive instruction
from hin in the art ofcannng fruit and veg
eta6les. His subscription price here was
zone dollar and each lady was permitted to
take one daughter with her to the lecture
without an extra charge. The lecture was
held in the Grand Army room, in the Spirit
building, and was attended by large class
OF ladies. After delivering his lecture and
exhibiting specimens of his canned goods he
gave to each lady number of printed re-
cIpes for the preparation of fruit and vege-
tables. Opinion was then and is now, as we
learn by inquiry, divided as to the merits of
the process taught. Some ladies have tried
them and are satisfied others have not met
with such a successful result of the expert
ments they have made in accordance with the
printed directions. At any rate II. /. Bits
can hardly muster a class in this town
again.

Sleeping on a Car Platform.

Last night when the midnight train ar
rived in this city from the East, man was
found lying asleep on the platform of a bag
gage car. He was bareheaded, his hat hav-
ing been blown off. He was awakened
and taken in in charge by Officer Roy, who
escorted him to the lookup. This morning
he gave his name as Thomas Gibson, and his
residence as Philadelphia. He said that he
had intended to go West. Alderman Nc
Conomy sent him to Jail for ten days, and
his westward jaunt will be delayed some
what The platform of a railroad car is a
pretty dangerous place for man to go to
sleep on, and if the officer had not discovered
Gibson here he might have been killed after
wards

Railroad Acciden, at MiddIetown.

A train of freight cars, east bound, on the
Pennsylvania railroad to which engines LOS
and i,0l1 were coupled, were thrown oil the

The accident was caused by the neglect of the

one. After putting In the new rail the men
neglected spiking it tightly to the ties
When the train was running at high rate Of
speed the new rail gave way causing seven
teen cars to be more or less damaged. The
wrecking crews were called into service, and
in few hours had the north track cleared
for passage. The Day Express, due in this
city at 445, did not arrive until $780, the

How She brought Him Around.

Marriage, says the San Francisco

more or less OF Il lottery. 1t is like Il lot
terry in more than the drawing. Drawing
a blank nee only makes you go into it
again. The fact is, to lose II husband or
draw one she has got to get rid of is II re-
Election upon the woman, and wounds
her vanity. She feels she must marry
again just to show it was not her fault,
and she is much likelier To be happy in
the second venture. The experience of
the first helps her to n better understand
ing of the second, and the unpleasantnrss
of the loss teaches her to yield very often
