A gentleman who is a railway engineer
says that the patterns of toy trains which are
presented to the public thit season are more
nearly like the real article than ever before.
He pointed out one as he spoke in the bril-
liant window of toy shop. 1t vas a small
iron affair consisting of an engine and two
cars only but it was an exact model of a
train. The engine had the modern
boiler and straight smoke pipe; the
cars round roofs and twelve wheels.
This is the case in all toys. There is
some ere apparatus IN one window that is
the thing itself, only reduced in size. A
dealer in toys say. its rule that runs
straight through the whole line Of goods han
died by the trade. He says that the modern
boy and girl will not have a tin thing Of no
particular shape, on wheels, and call it a
locomotive; nor a roll of cloth with smaller
rolls projecting from it at various angles,
and call it doll. They want. when they
say a locomotive, one of the latest improved
type; and doll a model of a real person.

The entertainment consisting of concert
and drama, given in the Opera House
Thursday evening of last week, for the
benefit of st. Paul's +. e. church, was a
success in every respect. and reflected great
credit upon those who were in charge Of,
and those who took part in it. The con-
cert made up the first part of the program,
and consisted of solos and duets by Misses
Lottie and Nettie Smith of New York and
choruses, the chorus being composed of
home talent. The Misses Smith are highly
cultured vocalists and the audience was de-
lighted with their singing, which was OF
the best that has ever been heard in Blooms
burg. Their voices blended beautifully in
the duets and the solos were of high order
of excellence and completely captvated
their hearers, who responded with many
beautif ul floral offerings The choruses
we're all finely rendered The secoud part
of the entertainment consisted of the
comedy y farce, "Woodcock's Little Game, u
and the actors were all of Bloomsbury.
Every one acted his or her part IN capital
manner and it would not be possible to dis
eriminate or praise one above another, as
all did well. 1t can only be said that II
WAS one of the best performances ever given
at this place by home talent

Gold Discovery.

A great deal Of excitement has been caus-
ed among the farmers of the Westmoreland
county natural gas region, and ii is thought
that county will develop something richer
than natural gas.
A short time ago the Philadelphia Nat
ural Gas Company leased farm and CON-
meuced drilling well for gas. After drill
ing the well about 200 feet deep a mineral
rock was struck, which somewhat re-
sembled gold.
Some of the rock was shipped to the
headquarters of the company and shortly
afterwards the tools were withdrawn, the
derrick taken and the hole plugged up.
This seemed very strange toat they should
cease work before testing the territory for
gas.
1t is the general opinion of the farmers
in that vicinity that large vein Of gold
quartz was struck, and that the company
will try to buy the surrounding farms and
mine the gold. Westmoreland county may
yet turn out to be a large gold producing
district.

The State Medical Association at its re-

question whether consumption was con-
tagious, and the affirmative Of the PROPOSE

may well claim the attention Of the medi
cal fraternity, and which receives increas-
ed interest from the terrible inIoads which
this disease is making in so many homes.
