Some years ago, one Of the lawyers in the
case between Lost Creek and Miffiintown
Presbyterian congregations said that the
Sunday of the people of the Lost Greek
congregation began on Saturday noon and
closed on Sunday evening or Monday morn
ing. IL now seems that Philadelphia peo-
pie are moving in large numbers to SO ar.
range their business that they may quit
work at noon on Saturday, and not resume
work til Monday morning. Mass meetings
are being held TO bring about sucn sea-
son OF rest, all of which proves that the
Lost Creek people have been ahead of their
age and that Others are only catching up.
An exchange says: IL is said that a move
ment is on foot throughout this State to
break up the sale of imitation butter for
genuine, which Is carried on quite exten-
siveiy in nearly every town in the State.
The movement is prompted by the farmers
and dairymeE who are unable TO compete
with the manufactured stuff and by consu-
mers who are imposed upon with the COM
pound. Oieomargarine or butteriDe may
be all rig ht when sold as such, but the OBJ
lection Is 10 Its sale as genuine butter. Un-
der a law which went into effect July Isl,
1855, the manufacture or sale OF limitation
butter is prohibited under penalty of one
hundr cd dollars, one-half of which goes to
! the prosecutor. Ii any one in this section
gets caught, it will be because they have
not profitcd by this gentle hint.
On Wednesday night J. W. Frank, of
Patterson, while attempting to board amov-
ing freight train at Mcyeytown tower, was
thrown to the ground, and in falling his
right foot came in contact with the rail and
car wheel, lacerating the flesh in terrible
manner. .sBud," as he Is commonly called,
went to McVeytown with number OF com =
panions, aud when attempting to return
home met with the above accident. A spec
ial car md engine was despatched from
this place TO bring the unfortunate young man
home. He was brought to Patterson and
pidCcN III thS SOihpaAf SIN iooA1, anu 49,
Crawf ford and Banks summoned, who rem
dered the necessary surgical attention. No
bones were broken, except the small toe,

to tram jumpers. Boys will you heed it p

From Newport News OF April Il: The
court room at Bloomfield WAS wrought up
| to high point of interest on Tuesday morn
ing over the report that came in incomplete
form to the effect that Jake Tobiis, of Rye
township, had beaten his wife SO badly on
Sunday morning that her life hung in the
| balance. The first announcement was that
the woman had been murdered outright. But
she was not, is alive and kicking, and kicked
because her big husband went to dance
on Saturday night without her. The report
first started ON The wings OF The morning was
that Jake had whipped his wife tor following
him to a dance. Careful inquiry disproves
even this rumor. She followed him to a
dance III he went home without her, but
did not do her any bodily harm. A gentle
man from the neighborhood of the Tobias
domici il says he spoke to Mrs. Tobias about
the affair ard she positively denies that her
husband dubbed her.
