Life In a snowflake.

Some imaginative and wonderfully learn
Cd German scholars tell us that every snow
lake is inhabited by happy little beings,
who begin their existence, hold their rsvels,
live long lives of happiness and delight die
and are buried, all during the descent Of
the snowflake from the world of clouds to
the solid land. These scholars also tell us
that every square foot of air possesses from
twelve to fifteen million of more or less per
feet little beings, and that at every ordinary
breath we destroy a million, more or less,
OF these happy lives. The sigh of o healthy
lover is supposed to swallow up about four.
teen million. They insist that the dust,
which will, as all know, accumulate in the
most secure and secret places, is merely til.
remains Of millions and billions OF these lit
tie beings who have died Of old age. All
this, of course, is mere gress-work. But I
do know that the snow in some parts Of the
world is thickly inhabited. have seen new
mow in Idaho black with little insects.
People there call them snow-ieas. They
are as lively as possible, and will darkor
your footprints, walk as fast as you may,
They are found only on the high noun,
tains, and only in very fresh and very deep
snow They, Of course, do not annoy YOU
in any way. They are infinitely smaller
than the ordinary flea, but they are not a
whit less lively in their locomotion -" Jack

MIR. A. Gilbert Scott, who less than
two years since married Miss Katie Gal
lagher daughter of Mr.. Daniel Gallagher,
CT this city, died at Chester, Pa, of ty-
phoid fever, on Thursday last. His flu
neral took place yesterday, from the resi-
dence of his father-in law. We copy from
the Chester daily Times the following
article:
A. G.. Scott, who for the past three
years has been in the employ of John c.
Kepner, druggist, died this morning at
his home on Kerlin street. He was
obliged to take to his bed few days ago
and so rapid was the course of the disease
that his physicians saw two or three days
ago that he was beyond the reach of any
medical skill, and shortly after o'clock
this morning, with his wife and mother
at his bedside he passed away.
Deceased was about "a years of age, of
genial nature, kind hearted and generous,
and no young man in the South Ward had
more friends. For one year he was clerk
for Mr.. Kepner at the Franklin street
store, and was then made manager of the
Kerlin street pharmacy, and retained the
place until few days ago. A year ago
last October he was united in marriage to
a very estimable young woman, who has
watched at his bedside with untiring
vigilance and unremitting devotion. De-
ceased was unwell for months before bis
death, and had quite a serious attack of
sickness month ago, but rallied and
again resumed his place in the store. A
few days ago a complication of diseases,
with intermittent fever prominent, pros
trated him, and having no strength to
combat them, be rapidly sank.
The home of Mr.. Scott was at Lambert
vile, N. j., and after his recovery from
sickness short time ago, he and his wife
visited Mrs. Scott, who is widow, having
lost her husband by maladies similar to
those causing the death of the son.

NEW HOPE AND BUCKS COUNTY. PA.
Another snow storm Still we have
not had any sleigh rides, but we have
done some tall walking.
The revival meetings in the NJ. L.
Church, have been attended with very
good results. Upward of forty, we are
informed, having thus far been converted.
Let the good work 60 on.
Our friend Matthias Kirst can make
the handsomest children's sleds that we
have ever seen. He is kept pretty busy,
and seems to have special gift in this
line, in addition to his skill in other de-
partments of his business. We would
advise those who want pretty "jumper''
to call and see his styles.
The Spring Dale" Flour Mill, of
New Hope, has taken new start, and is
having large trade. Mr.. Cole, of Phil.
adelphia, who is conducting the bust
mes switli an energy creditable to him,
is as busy as bee, the number of
farmers patronizing the mill being SO
great as to require the mill to be worked
almost to its capacity, and even then it
is common sight to see several wagons
about the premises, whose owners are
awaiting their turn. Considering the
short time that Mr.. Cole has been run
ming the mill, its prosperity is something
to make our locality feel proud.
1t is sad to chronicle the sudden and
distressing death of Mr.. Stephen A.
Hogan, of our town, which occurred on
Saturday OF last week. He was attacked
with hemorrhage from the lungs while
at work. A friend assisted him toward
his home, by leading him through the
gardens intervening between the foundry
of Charles Atkinson (where he was EN-.
ployed) and his residence. Another Sc
we're attack on the way Frustrated him,
but he was enabled to reach his home,
when final loss of blood terminated his
life. He was kind hearted and an es
Unable man, and his loss will be sorely
felt by large circle OF friends. We ex-
tend to his family our sincere sympathy
in their bereavement. Rev. Chas. II.
Thomas, Of Philadelphia, formerly pas
tor Of the First Baptist Church of Lam
btrtville, conducted the funeral services
this morning.

Last Saturday night, about fifteen
minutes before 10 o'clock, the citizens
on Jefferson street were aroused from
their sleep by the hideous noises made
by man lying in that street, between
George street and North Main. On go.
ing to him he was found to be in help
less condition and almost perishing from
cold, and 80 beastly intoxicated was he
that it took four men to take him to the
lookup, where, with care, he was resusci-
tated. On Sunday morning, about 8
o'clock, he was let out and was able to
walk to his home in the Sd Ward. The
citizens of Jefferson street are quiet and
peaceable and have no saloons in their
neighborhood, nor do many of them fire.
quent the saloons in other parts of the
city. They protest against homeward
bound pilgrims, at late hours of night,
especially when the weather is very cold,
attempting nights lodging in front of
thcir doors, especially when accompanied
with such hideous bawling. But who
would not bawl when SO drunk as not to
be able to get up, before be would freeze?
