Miss Matte Vickers is unaffectcdly fresh
and buoyant, She seems to love her work,
and to put her whole heart and soul into it.
She has demonstrative personality, and
she knows how to exercise it. She has a
style of her own, a novelty in her method
and manner, quite distinct from any other
artist in her special line. She never misses
point in the words she has to utter,
whether humorous or pathetic, She can
also deliver little bits of sentiment with
exquisite tenderness. Her dancing is real
ly lnspiriting, we have not seen anything
so full of animation and graceful ease. Cri'
tcism of the drama is unthought OF in the
presence of so strong and fascinating indi
viduality. Detroit Free Press.

Arbor Day at the Zion and St. James
Churches.

An Arbor Day was happy thought and
does credit to the mind that conceived it,.
The appointment of this day by the Cover
nor met the general approval of our citi-
zens. 1t not only suggested the propriety
of planting trees on the public grounds and
highway, but also carried with it sort of
legal sanction and did much to stimulate
activity in this much needed enterprise.
In response to the Governors proclama-
ton thousands of shade and ornamental
trees were planted throughout the state and
in few years they will not only be admir-
ed for their beauty, but will shield man and
beast from the scorching rays of.the sun.
Among those who responded to Sylvan's
bugle were the Zion and st. James congre-
cations. The male membership were pre-
viously organized by the pastor for this
work. In each congregation there were
three committees appointed. One to sur
vey the church grounds and mark the To-
cation of the trees. Another to go after
the trees and deliver them on the ground
and the third to plant and place guards
around them. The pastor then stated that
he expected each committee and every man
to do his duty. 1t is very gratifying to
state that the project was carried out to the
very letter. At the Zion Church grove
OF "a sugar naples was planted and at st.
James there were planted AZ trees. One
row along the state road and grove on
south side of the church extending to and
emerging into the natural grove a short
distance further south. These trees were
also planted as memorial trees. All those
families that were represented in the work
were allowed the credit of one tree in mem
ory of their family. There will be a draft
made of the groves and the trees numbered
and credited to the proper persons. This
will be the means of perpetuating the fam.
lily names and securing guardians for the
trees. All the pastors who have served
this congregation will have tree credited
to them.
As many of these people have warm
side for Old Democracy, one tree will be
| credited to the memory of the Governor
ond another to that of the President, undel
| whose administration the trees are planted
and are expected to grow. This, however
is not to be taken as an admixture of re
ligon and politics, nor rs union of State
and church, but as sort of religlous-pat
riotism. A. II.

Que of the neighbors reported having
seen a mosquito.
AT this writing April Goth, it is very pleas
ant and still some old snow and Ice 10 be
seen in spots.
Since the croaking and wnistlng Of frogs
and lizards there has been no freezing. 1t
is said they must freeze up three times.
The farmers are improving their oppor-
tunty. The plow is thawed out and runs
as slick as you please.
Our community is not cursed with broils,
profanity nor vulgarity. Neither have the
fair sex s. cret societies except by pairs of
both sexes, but Miss Gossip and Madame
Slander are not selected to officiate
1t begins to looks as though Europe Ia
decided to revive business and trade in
America.
Harmon Beishline has started harness
shop at Cambria.
If any person wishes to see an opossum,
call on Samuel Thomas of Fishingcreek. 1t
is said he has tame one.
Elias Mcflenry, the insurance agent called
1ound the other day to renew expired
policies. He represents the Danvlle Mu-
tual The old fellow is Democratic to the
core.
Isaac Bellies and wife are both reported
sick. He with diphtheria and she with
rheumatism.
Those blacksnakes have not peeled off
yet. Should we see the reptiles we should
try to capture them. There are some
coarse ones in the neighborhood.
There are only three steps to the Presi-
dcncy. 1st Sheriff; end, Governor, and
3rd, President. We may therefore expect a
lively conte.t in Columbia county.
The class Of very old people in our com
munity are all well, and doing well. We
are of the opinion that no neighborhoo in
the county, take Cambria for the centre and
strike circle from point two miles dis
tant, can furnish so many old people ac-
cording to the population.
Cambria and Benton are improving very
rapidly Charley Davidson is now putting
up new dwelling in the former place. He
is huckster and brother to Doc.

The NewS- Dealer of last Monday says:
On Thursday afternoon last while L. j.
Curtis, a carpenter of Kingston, was en-
gagged in tearing down an old building that
was erected by Peter Wambold for a dwell
ing house nearly halt a century ago, which
was afterwards converted into school
house, at which place many of the inhabi-
tants of that place learned their A. B. C's,
he found secreted in the heavy timbers So
900 in gold and silver coin, also some valua-
BILE papers belonging to one Frank Page. The
building and the lot upon which it stood
was brought short time ago by Mr..
Newell, a wealthy merchant and coal oper-
ator of Kingston, who intends to soon
erect a large block on the lot for mercan-
tile purposes. The old school house was
sold to John Prosser a few days ago for the
small sum of ten dollars. He is now en-
gagged in having it removed to Kingston
corners, where he is having it remodeled
into blacksmith shop. 1t was while he
was thus engaged that the money was found
A Nelrs- Dealer reporter visited Mr.. Prosser
yesterday afternoon and was informed that,
although he had not seen any of the money
that was found, the carpenter who had
found it had admitted to him that the re-
port was true and that he would consult a
lawyer to see what should be done with it.
Mr.. Prosser also stated that the case should
be investigated and if Mr.. Curtis had found
any such treasure in the building 1t GER
tainly belonged to him, and he would have
it if he was obliged to enforce the law to
obtain it. The old building was before its
present removal situated on Main street,
leading from Kingston corners towards
Wyoming, and had been occupied for a
number Of years.

Wlen you hear man sncering at the To-
cal paper, you can safely bet that he does
not squander his wealth in assisting to
make them better, and that generally the
papers have done more for him than he
has for them. The man who cannot see
the benefit arising to a town from its news
paper, hasn't the sense of an oyster, and he
is about as much value to town as a de-
linQuent tax list.-Er.

BUSINESS NOTICES.


For the last three months great many
a great many people have been housed up,
because they have not felt able to Withstand
the stormy wintry weather that has pre-.
vailed. But unfortunately the confine-
ment and the close, air Of modern houses
during the winter season, is enervating,
and the system needs help to enable all the
organs to do their proper work. If these
organs have been inactive the consequen-
ces are showing themselves in the bilious
condition of the system, or in constipation
of the bowels, or in disorders of the kid
neys, with all the aches and pains that oc-
company these complaints II you are in
this condition from any cause you should
make faithful trial of that well known
remedy Kidney-Wort 1t acts at the same
time on the kidneys, liver and bowels, and
is therefore especially fitted to correct this
torpid condition of the system.

Since the death of Elisha II. Biggs there
has been considerable discussion concern
ing the property inherited by him under
his fathers WILL and its final disposition.
One clause of the will gave the son life
estate in certain properties, and at his
death the Episcopal Church of this town
was 20 have half of the estate. There were
other clauses. however, which rendered the
testator's intention doubtful, and a case
was made up between Charles Doebler and
E. IL. Biggs for the purpose of getting a
decision of the court on the will. Mr..
Biggs sold II house and lot on Third street,
Qhe one now owned by Mr.. Littlc,) to Mr..
Doebler. When deed was rendered Mr..
Doeblcr refused to accept it on the ground
that Biggs had,only life estate, and could
not make deed in fee simple. This forms
ed an issue, and the court here decided
that Mr.. Biggs could make good title for
the property. An appeal was taken out,
and the Supreme Court affirmed the decis-
ion. There may be an opportunity for some
litigation in the matter yet, however. The
property referred to is the Exchange Block
and the Arcade.
