of Mr.. William NJ. Edelin,, near Fallston Station,

o'clock Saturday night last and was intirely con-
sumed, together with $50 bushels of wheat, %
barrels Of corn, large quantity of hay and
numerous valuable farm implements. All the
stock was saved. The barn was only built last
summer and was insured in the Hartford Company

accident or design of it is impossible to say.

L. Bond, near Mount R oval reservoir, in the Belt,
was entered by a thief who carried off an over

window pane on the ground floor and then
raising the sash.

lars entered the residence of Mrs. Lamping, on
Second street, in the Belt, and went through it
from top to bottom, but the only articles missed
were few silver spoons. They got into the house
by pricing open kitchen shutter. The burglars

Couldn't Beat the Girls.-When the girls
employed in the speeding department of the
Druid Mills, Woodbury., (the Messrs. Gambrill,
proprietors) went to work on Wednesday morn
ing, they found notice posted that their wages
would be reduced one and a quarter cents per
"doff," equal to about ten per cent. They did
not say much, but during the morning apparently
occupied their minds in thinking. At noon a
meeting was held and decisive measures were
resolved upon. Soon after resuming operations
in the afternoon a signal was given by their
leader, the machinery of the department was stop
ped and the entire forty marched to the superin-
tendent's Office, where they gave notice that they
would submit to no reduction. The proprietors
of the factory were communicated with, and the
girls were soon assured that the order for the re-
ducton was directed to be withdrawn. The girls
then went to their room, and work was resumed
on the same basis as before the notice was given.

After Twenty Years.-Twenty years ago

After Twenty Years.-Twenty years ago
Archbishop Gibbons was stationed at Canton,
this county, as pastor of St. Bridget's Catholic
Church. On Sunday last he visited the church to
pronounce the papal benediction, congregation
which was too large for the building being pres
ent. The archbishop preached on text chosen
from the gospel of the day, and delivered an
excellent sermon. He expressed great pleasure
at seeing so many familiar faces. After the SER
vices a large number of the pensioners of all
ages visited the parsonage, where they were re-
ceived by the chbishop. He shook hands with
every one and had kind word for all. In spite
of the twenty years that have elapsed since he
was stationed there, he remembered every little
incident connected with the life of this or that
person. The occupation and place of residence
of large portion of the visitors and other in
cidents concerning them were still fresh in his
memory.
