Queer doiDgs that might happen
in Tionesta some time. The CORY,
(Pa.) Leader says: The stoppage Of
gas yesterday had a few funny Incl.
dents. Some folks, not acquainted
with the use of it, we're scared and
would run to the neighbors to know
what to do, and others when they saw
the light in the meters would think
they were going to be blown up or
burned up and we're accordingly
scared. Some housekeepers bad their
bread in the oven, and therefore
couldn't bake it. Another family had
euchre party invited, and the whole
house being gas heated, there was no
warmth. Sparkling parties were dis.
arranged, aud those wh) had sand
enough to stand the coolness Of the
room, made amends by hugging up
closer and thus keeping warm. The

Good Results In Every Case.

d. A. Bradford wholesale paper dealer
of Chattanooga, Tenn, writes that he was
seriously afflicted with a severe cold that
settled ON his lungs; had tried many REM
edies without benefit. Being induced to
try DR.. Kings New Discovery for Con-
sumption, did so and was entirely cured
by use of few bottles. Since which time
he has used it in his family for all Coughs
and Colds with best results. This is the
experience of thousands whose lives have
been saved by this Wonderful Discovery.

Basic Steel.

1t will be Interesting to Southern iron makers
and especially to those who have been inves-
tigating the advantages for making Basic STEEL
to read the following testimony of Mr.. ]. T.
Smith, of Barrow, before the Royal Commits
SIGN on Trade Depression in Great Britain, re-
garding Basic steel. The London Iron Trade
Exchange has the following on the subject:
The makers of Basic steel should take "heart
Of grace" after reading the remarks and admis-
sions of Mr.. Josiah T. Smith. of Barrow In his
examination before the Royal Commission on

Facts About the Mule.

1t Is said that mule cannot bray if you
tie a weight to its tail and hold it down.
This was touchingly illustrated in the
cavalry movement that preceded the
second battle of Manassas. Gen. Stuart,
with large force of cavalry maneuyering
around the retreating army of Pope. got
caught between two columns of the Union
troops and was obliged to conceal himself
in dense wood between two parallel roads
along which the enemy were retreating
He had to lie low all night until the columns
passed by. Messengers that the Union
generals sent to each other through the
woods were captured and held with as
little noise as possible. One great diff
Guilty was to keep the mules in the
ordnance and commissary wagons from
braying and thus calling the attention of
the foe. For this purpose Stuart ordered
a man to be detailed to stand by each mule
and whack him with stick as soon as he
offered to bray for mule, like an orator,
requires certain preparation beginning
his neat and appropriate vocal exercises
There is preliminary protest made with
the ears and certain solemnities of the nos.
trils, an expression Of sorrow overspreads
the countenance. then the tail is lifted.
A bray does not break forth from the lips
of the mule. It begins away back in
the abdominal viscera and comes gradually
up. Now, as soon as the cavalry mules
began to prepare for bray. whack whack
would 60 the sticks. and the bray would be
suppressed-and thus all night. 1t was
said that this was needless severity, for it
would have suficed to tie brickbat to the
tail of each mule.
