A Huntingdon, Pa, dispatch says :
Peter Herdic, once known as the Will
Transport lumber king, received the
contract a year ago to supply Hunt
ington with water. Recently his men
were excavating at the new reservoir,
at the head of Fifth street, when, at
depth of about eight feet from the
surface, J. d. McClain, Herdic's fore
man, discovered an earthen pot Sc
curely sealed, which was filled to the
brim with Mexican and American gold
and silver coins of ancient date.
McClaiu refuses to- make Known the
amount of money the pot contained,
but his friends say it is several thou
sand dollars. AS soon as the discovery
was made known, Mr.. Herdic put in a
claim for the treasure, ON the ground
that it was found on his property,
while McClain insists that it is his
under the common law relating to
treasure trove. Mrs. Christian Cole
stock is another claimant. Her de-
ceased husband sold the land to Her
die, and the widow alleges that the
money was buried by Colestock years
ago for safe keeping. All the parties
have employed counsel, and the owner
ship of the contents of the pot will be
tested in the court.

Harvesting is in progress in parts of
Ohio and Indiana, and in large sections
of Kentucky, Missouri, Kansas, Ten
nessee the grain has already been
gathered. The yield in all these States
with the exception of Kansas, promises
to be nearly up to the average, and in
Missouri will be above the average.
In central Illinois the outlook for Sum-
mer continues good. The serious
drought, threatening almost the entire
Spring wheat belt has been quite gen
orally broken by copious rains The
average yield in Dakota. Minnesota,
and Wisconsin, however, has been
lessened probably ten per cent. by the
drought.

Jacob Glass, a Kingston city fish
dealer, had pretty lively experience
in the Hudson River the other day
with big sturgeon. The sturgeon
had been caught and anchored to a
stake along shore. Glass bought the
fish. Then he took boat and caught
hold of the line attached to the stur-
geon. The sturgeon weighed 200 lbs.
The moment it was loosened it started
for the channel of the river as fast as
it could swim. Glass had hold Of the
end of the rope. He braced himself in
the boat to keep from going overheard.
AS the sturgeon begun to tow the
boat out into the river at lively rate
Glass yelled for help. A couple of
fishermen went to his rescue and man
aged to get the sturgeon in shore.

The authority of the N. Y. World, in
it's assertion that spectacles were well
known to the ancients having been
questioned, that journal observes
Layard found them in the ruins of
Nineveh. Rawlinson records the find
ing of lenses used in lapidary work,
which it was long known could not
have been done without powerful
magnifying glasses, in Mesopotamia.
Aristophanes is the authority for the
statement that they were known to
and used by the ancient Greeks. They
are put upon the eyes of engravers in
the Egyptian drawings made long be-
fore Aristophanes, who lived in COM
paratively modern times, about $4,000
years ago, when Rome was a struggling
village and the Hebrews were rejoicing
over the rebuilding of the Temple. If
the Babylonians had not been fully
acquainted with lenses, how could
they have discovered, 1000 years be-
fore Christ, that Jupiter had four
moons and Saturn seven

A Woodfeld, Ohio, dispatch says:
Thomas Stacy, we'll known citizen of
Brownsville, and his son, William, aged
nine years, were killed by lightning
a few days ago while standing beneath
tree during a furious thunder storm.
The father was at work in field, and
his two sons, aged nine and eleven
years, were at play near by. The
storm coming up suddenly, all three
sought the shelter of the high tree.
Hardly had they come to pause
beneath its branches when a flash of
lightning struck the top of the tree
and passed down to the roots. Stacy
and his son dropped as though shot,
and when found by his wife, who had
seen the flash from the house, her hus
band and Willie were both dead. The
elder son was unconscious, but has re-
vived There were no marks upon the
dead except a few slight scratches upon
the fathers face.

The manufacture of lager beer in
America only dates back about 40
years, but it has gone ahead and spread
itself like the mustard seed in the
parable There are now about 1900
breweries in this country, and they
sold last year over 10000, 900 barrels of
malt liquors. Of this New York and
Brooklyn contributed nearly quarter.
The next largest producers are Milwau
kee, st. Louis, Cincinnati; Chicago,
Boston and Newark, in order named.
An estimate of the capital invested in
the trade would probably reach $780,
100000. Ninety-five per cent. of the
brewers are Germans.

An automaton representing a Turk

to take up copy of the Koran and

THE INSTITUTES GALA-DAY.

THE INSTITUTES GALA-DAY.
Moore's Opera House was literally
packed with people on Thursday morn
ing, who had come to attend the clos
ing exercises of the South Jersey Insti-
tute school year. The weather was
hot, but the audience remained to the
end anxious to hear each and every
part of the program.
On the platform were Prof Trask,
the Trustees of the Institute, num-
Der of ministers of the Baptist church,
two young ladies and gentlemen. The
ladies were arrayed in white, and pre-
sented beautiful appearance. Near
the centre of the platform was a vacant
chair decorated with flowers, in mem
ory of the late Horatio J. milford, the
liberal friend and patron of the Insti-
tute, who for years had always been
present to participate in the Com
mencement exercises.
The program was quite lengthy, and
was composed as follows:
Miss Amy May Probasco, Bridgeton,
essay, "a Plea for Xanthippe."
Miss Amy Ames, Bridgeton, essay,

Miss Mary L. Westcott, Cedarville,

essay. Natures Law"
Miss Emma r. Thatcher, Bridgeton,
essay, ''Nihilism, Study in Black and
White''
Mr.. Lewis P. Mccormick, Pittsburg,
Pa. oration, "Secret Sessions"
The essays were all compositions OF
merit, but several of them were rem
dered in low tone of voice, and were
consequently inaudible to most of the
audience. Those of the Misses
Thatcher, Kugler. and Smith, were
specially well delivered, and deserve
appreciation. Mr. Walling's oration
was one of the best that has ever been
heard at Institute Commencements.
Beside the regular graduates Mrs
w. 0. Garrison, Miss Mabel Sweeten
Miss Mary Whipple, Miss Allie Rich
ards, and Miss Emma Poole, received
diplomas as musical graduates at the
hands of Prof. H X. Trask, who gave
them wise counsel and good advice ir

The Germania Orchestra, of Phila.

music at intervals during the pro
gram, to the great delight of the au
dience.

THE PRESIDENTS FORTUNE.

The Sunday Capital says that the
Presidents salary is paid him in
monthly installments-$4, 166. 66 on the
last day of each montll-and the
Treasurer always makes it point to
send him notes of the latest issue. Mr..
Cleveland, as his predecessors have
done, keeps a private bank account at
Riggs & Co.'S. and makes deposit the
first of every month, reserving enough
of his salary for current expenses and
setting a good example by putting the
rest aside for rainy day. 1t is said
that his account has shown a balance
as large as $35, 900, as he has an income
aside from his official salary. While
he has never been money-getter and
has earned in his profession all that he
has ever made, Mr.. Cleveland has an
economical disposition. and no luxu-
rious tastes like his immediate prede-
cessor. Before he entered public life
he was making from $4,000 to $15, 600
a year by his practice, and could have
lived like lord. His expenses, am
told, were never more than $4,000 a
year, and he enjoyed himself as much
as most men do. His frugal habits
were acquired in youth, for he was
not born with golden, or even d
silver spoon in his mouth, and he has
found his pleasure in hard work. The
Presidents Buffalo friends estimate
that he was worth from 100000 to $75,-
900 when he was elected, and has al
ready increased that amount consider
ably by profitable investments and by
the surplus of his salary.
