Discoveries Of,en Made by the Captains
Of Ocean
Hardly IN ocean steamer bound for

Sbut has four or five unfortunate crca-
lures slowed away somewhere. Ii is
within the experience of captains to
make the discovery that they have
twenty, or eve more. OF these unde-
sirahle passengers aboard. and that
they have as many more mouths TO
fcca. This makes ON shippers saw
age. as when they sail they have stores
only proportionatc to their crew. with
due provisions for delays from stress OF

The stowaways are rccui:cd from all

When a ship is too far out from land
to send a boat ashore the captain is re-
duced to the necessity of taking all the
work he a get out of the stowaways.
and he generally does this pretty ef-
f~ectually if there is only q moderate
consignment of them. But it is hard
for any captain to find work for twenty
extra men. When overwhelmed by
such a number the smartest are put to
work as deck hands. the rest are
treated as storage passengers and
handed over to the police on arrival

Last week the Mussers from Mill

days in Heyisn Valley and its vicin-
ity-directly south of the tunnels on
the Lewisburg and Tyrone railroad,
and returned with three fine deer.
Another one, II big buck, was wound
ed and followed to water by one of
the party who found him lying in

looking at him. The hunter "snap-
ped, at him, but the cartridge in

attempted to pump up another
when the mechanism of the gun
failed to perform its functions and
rendered the weapon useless. The
buck jumped up, and with graceful
leaps and an extra flourish of his i'm
mense tail, darted into the thickets
and was lost. From what we can
learn of our informant it was Pierce
Musser who had the adventure. He
thinks his bali had passed through

SGabOald & Western Rail Road!

A few months ago one of our
friends here received Il letter from

we had an intervewi with reliable
gentleman of Indiana county who
resides i'll the vicinity of the route.
He says that for the last or 3
months the engineers of this road
have been at work there, locating
and relocating parts and parcels of
the road in order to get the best
route in this county, and also further
on west, i'll Armstrong county, and
that the highest point, or summit,

sides. He says that that point was
considerable of an obstacle to over

they had finally succeeded and To-

more than miles out of straight

will shorten the distance by railroad
between Chicago and New York by

the engineers is about as follows,

One of the growing evils of the
day is the abominable habit of cigar
cite smoking especially among boys
and young men. Thousands all ov-
er the country are growing thin and
losing their vigor Ten years ago
this habit was comparatively un-
known now it is almost universal.
and spreading constantly The
young man who acquires the habit
and sticks to it for few years is
certainly doomed to physical decay,
as is the drunkard and opium cater.
1t is curse that bids fair to rival
intemperance rs public evil and
parents who are interested in the
moral and physical welfare of their
children should denounce this per-
nicious habit.
The number of babies born annual
ly into the world is about forty-three
millions daily, one hundred and
seventeen thousand eight hundred
and eight per minute, eighty. 1t
is sad to reflect how many of these
helpless little ones, who never asked
to be born, are dragged up rather
than brought up rs immortal beings
should be. Above all, we should be
truthful with our children. The
popular practice of teaching them to
seem, instead of TO be, and of cult
vatlng company manners destroys
the frankness and transparent can
dor which constitute the great charm
of childhood. Never promise your
child anything, either bun or n
beating, without giving it. II is also
very wrong for mother to put all
the disagreeable duty of correcting
children upon the father and reserve
all the petting to herself. If she act
the part of II guardian angel, to
whom the children can run when re-
primanded by their father, this sell
fishness does those whom she pro-
fesses to love great injury. The
children come to regard their father
as family bugbear, whereas what
he does contrary to the wishes of the
child may be for its permanent good,
and show far more real love than the
! weak indulgence of its mother.

NELSON II, BAKER.
In legal circles there has been II
question aS to the meaning of, what
is known rs the Married Woman 5
Act of 1887, Judge KrebS, Of Clear
field, has been the first to pass his
opinion upon the law. The case was
argued before him about two weeks
ago, at Bellefonte, aud his opinion
was filed few days ago. The case
was that of Penns v bank obtain
ing note from married woman
for II debt of her husband which she
did not assist i'll contracting and of
which she had no knowledge, and
which was not contracted for nee
essaries in the family. Thenote OBJ
tanned from her was what is termed
tight note and was at once en-
tered up against her. Judge Krebs
holds that under the act of 1887 the
note was not valid and the Judge
ment was opened absolute, that the
law contemplates II married woman
can not be held responsible, even
upon n note given by herself, for t
debt of her husbands contracting
The Judge rendered this opinion
upon the law alone and without
reference to the acts of coercion AZ
set forth in her testimony, i'll tn,
absence of her husband, as he state,
| in his decision
