The dam across the Wabash Creek
at Reversible, near Tamaqua, Pa,
burst the other morning. A passenger
train from Pottsville was just opposite
the dam when it broke. The back-wa-
ter struck the cars and ran into the
heaters under them, causing a vast vol
nme of. steam to arise snd envelope
the entire train. The passengers were
much frightened. The engine, how
ever, escaped the flood and pulled the
train safely through the water. The
tracks of the Philadelphia & Reading
Railroad were much washed and COM
pletely inundated, delaying all trains.
The burst was caused by the breaking
of an old tunnel in the abandoned
,SReeyesdale colieTy.

THE DRAFT HORSES OF FRANCE. =
While some people In America call ali
horses imported from France Norman.
it is fact that there is no breed in
France called by that name by the
French people the name, Norman,
therefore, is purely American. The
principal breeds of France are know
rs Percherons and Roullanais. Tn.
Percherons are the most highly priced
Of all French races, and all depart
ments of France 60 to the Perche for
stations to improve their local breeds
The Percheron Stud book OF France,
published under the authority of tht
French Government, is the only stud
book of draft horses that is or ever has
been published in France, and now
contains the pedigrees of about SOC 0
inimals. But some importers are Of
fvring certificates from France of Nor
nsn aft horses that may mislead
people who do not understand the
French language into believing these
records Of origin. Not one of them
issued contains pedigree. They are
furnished at the request of American
buyers by the secretary of one of the
French Agricultural societies, who
says there is no intention of publish
ing them in stud book form, as they
have no pedigrees and are of no value
whatever 1t is well known fact that

where the seller is not able to give ths
recorded pedigree of the animal sold
AS evidence Of additional value, he has
no right to ask 1T. With these facts
before him, no intelligent man will
buy horse imported from France un-
less he is recorded with his pedigree

France.

than Berwick have their towns nicely
lighted.
Quite a number of dwelling houses
are being built in town this FaIl,amoug
which is the house Of Joe Lilley on
Second street. This is TO be beauti-
ful two and one-half story house. 1t
will be ready for occupancy in the

completed they will add greatly to the
appearance of tie street.
Mr.. Isa Sherman, the cabinet maker,
is erecting neat little cottage on
Grant street. It has already assumed
quite pleasing appearance.
Masons are at work p'astering on
the interior of the new school house.
1t is hoped that it may be opened for
the Winter school.
The Town Water Co. are arranging
TO place line of fourteen-inch pipe to
supply the town with water in place of
the six-inch pipe now in. Sc. This
will be laid as soon as the ater is out
of the canal, and in the Spring large
pumps will be placed and so connected
as to supply water directly to the by
drants. In case of fire, the project, on
the part OF the Company, should be
appreciated by all the citizens in town.
The way in which business is conduct
ed by the Company is'good evidence
of the ability of the Superintendent,
Mr. Depew.
Nearly twenty people have joined
the Chautauqua circle for this year. A
meeting was held at the parlors of the
Y. M. c. A. on Tuesday evening.
The Tennis Club, of town, are ar
ranging to entertain the clubs of Ha-
zleton and Danville in the near future,

G. A. will meet on the evening of Sat
urday, the Goth, at 1880 o'clock, in the

tages for literary development that will
be eagerly sought by all who attended
last Winter.
