brothers, at Shade Gap, Huntingdon coun-
ty, was destroyed, by what is believed by

The Philadelphia Record says: In 1855,
in Philadelphia, the whole number of deaths
from diphtheria was 600; scarlet fever,
S75, and typhoid fever, 6lO; and the table

where the worst slums exist, but in those
sections of the city where there are first
class Improvements and plenty of fresh air.
The remains of an extinct sea turtle that
is seventeen feet from the tip of one tiipper
to the other, was found, not long since, near
Fort Wallace, Kansas, buried in bluff. 1t
isn't hard to explain, ages ago Kansas was
the bed or bottom of an ocean. In the days
when men sailed on that ocean a man would
have been only a common sized bait for so
large turtle.
1t has just been revealed that a gang of
moonshiners were conducting a distillery in
the town of Sharon, Mercer county, Pa,
within hundred yards of the Court House.
The till was constructed in a cave in the
side of the hill. The smoke was carried off
by me ans of stove-ppe laid along the
ground for a considerable distance. Theicap
and pipe were all concealed by debris, brush
and vegetation.
A few days ag o a coiored man was hung
for murder in Texas, in the presence of a
crowd of 5000 people. He expressed de-
sire to take collection from the crowd to
raise fund for funeral expenses. His hat
was passed around and SD were dropped
into it. He thanked the people for the con-
tribution, warned them of the result of
bad life, said goodbye and as hung. His
body was given in charge of his friends,
who used the collection fund for funeral
expenses.
The Philadelphia Bulletin says: A death
in New Jersey from blood poisoning caused
by wearing red stockings under tight boots
seems to present suitable opportunity for
some definite inquiry into the subject of
the dyes used upon fancycolored stockings.
Much irritation is undoubtedly produced by
some of them, even where no fatal effect
follows. The pores of the feet are opened
by exercise and the absorption of the color

Irons, subordinate officer among the
western Knights of Labor, does not want
to recognize the orders OF Powderly, his su-
) perior officer. The Knights of Labor may
be large organization, but not quite so
large as Irons' inflated idea pictures them.
Irons should try to get the fact fixed in his

would read the newspapers he would know
more about his own country and perhaps
learn his relationship TO it.
