Come and Visit Him.

Joseph Carbiskie made an information
before Alderman Kerr last evening, charg-
ing Henry Cutti with aggravated assault
and battery. Both are Italians and live on
the Butler street extension. A few DAYS
since the prosecutor claims he was walking
to his home at late hour and was met by
the defendant who asked him to go to his
house and spend the night. This invitation
the prosecutor declined, and alleges the de-
fendant became mad and beat him.
A hearing will be held Thursday night.

TO SUPPLY THE MARKET,

The protector does not expect to have oys-
ters ready for next winters market, but as
he can get any number OF well-grown eels
requisite for fattening and breeding pur-
poses, at short notice, he intends to have the
latter ready to deliver when the season Is
fairly open. By September, 1891, he pro-
poses to have shell oysters on an oyster boat
at the Pittsburg wharf, and be able to say to
all doubling Thomases, "Come down to the
oyster boat and get some" Next spring
oysters from the most celebrated beds in
Chesapeake Bay and from those from which
New York draws her SIMPLY will be planted
in the Robinson township pond.
The industry promises to be not only
very profitable but extensive, as there are
thousands of salt wells in Western Pennsyl-
vania, each Of which will supply an e1-
tensive lake with salt water which has been
lying fallow since the age of mollusks. that
of the upper Silurian.

BOBBING FOR EELS.
The Amusement a Robinson Town.
ship Farmer Promises Himself.
NEW USE FOR ASALT-WATER WELL
Proposed Plan to Secure a Constant Sup
ply Of Fresh Oysters.
ALL THAT 1T LACKS NOW Is SUCCESS

The march of civilization is slow but
steady and intrepid, like that of hungry
mule toward gallon of oats. Oysters and
eels suffer deterioration in transit from the
seaboard to the interior. 1t is true that fine
eels may be caught In the beautiful blue
Juniata, where roamed the angelic Indian
girl, bright Alfaretts, but unless handled
in an expensive manner they are somewhat
stale when offered to Pittsburg epicures, and
could we get them at our doors alive and in
water tanks their flavor and healthfulness
as food would be greatly improved.
A Robinson township farmer has solved
the problem. He had we'll drilled on his
farm for petroleum, but, instead of oil, the
drillers struck an inexhaustible supply Of
salt water in the 100-foot sand. The far
mer scratched his head for a time and won-
dered what use could be made of the saline
fluid. Finally an idea struck him and he
had the water analyzed, and found its con-
stituents to be virtually the same as that Of
ocean water. It's chemical properties are so
nearly identical that scientists have de-
clared that all that is wanting to make eel
and oyster propagation successful is a
supply of the right kind Of food.
FOOD AT LITTLE COST.
It is we'll known that both oysters and eels
are scavengers, and even the former are re-
jected as food on this account, by some
orthodox Hebrews. As the food of eels con-
sists mainly of offal, the projector of the
Robinson township salt lake had no trouble
in securing sufficient supply from slaugh-
ter houses and fish dealers stands at trifing
cost.
The ground just below the we'll is so situ-
ated that at an expense of S108 pond three
acres in extent can be constructed by means
OF team, pillow and a scoop, and there is
gravel bed hard by from which the supply
requisite TO suit oysters and make them feel
at home can be secured. The protector has
contracted for the erection of q windmill at
a cost of S150. The ground is so broken
that it is only valued at $25 an
acre, so that the entire cost,
exclusive of propagating stock,
is but 1926, and $50 will furnish food to the
plant until it is ready for market, so that
the entire expense of the experiment is
safely within $500 and scientists have as
sured Ihe proprietor that it can not be called
an experiment. So confident is he of success
that he has already contracted to deliver
fixed supplies to a number of hotel and res
taurant keepers, and their patrons may see
eels and oysters taken alive from water
tanks which will be hauled about the streets
on wheels.

A Naked Wanderer.
From the San Francisco Chronicl,

From the San Francisco Chronicle
Extending from the San BeA ne rdino
meridian on the west to the Colorado
River on the east, and from the south
line Of San Diego County on the south,
is that vast expanse of melancholy waste
known as the Nj ojave Desert. Many are
tie tales of privation and suffering en-
dured on this verdureless eXpanse. One
Of the strangest and yet true occur
rences has been experienced near this
place, which is in the middle Of the des-
ert. Last Tuesday evening as engine 81,
Engineer Spencer, was returning from
Lavic, he encountered the following ex-
perience, which is best told in his own
words:
Il had just rounded the curve near
mile-post 672, and had taken my watch
from my pocket. Noting the time 6:25
o'clock, l returned it to it's place and
naturally glanced ahead of my engine.
What was my intense surprise to see,
not over thirty yards ahead of me, and
approaching the track from the south, a
man apparently six ieet tail, about 80
years Of age, with long black hair hang
ing down his shoulders and q heavy
beard. He was entirely naked, and his
skin was tanned. Putting on the driver
brake | brought the engine to a
sup JuSt DIS LuC lIdIl CIOSSSO G11O tTdCk.
After crossing he stopped and locked at
us.

freman's side, and as | started to climb
down to the grounds he started off. I
called TO him as | reached the ground,
but. with frightened look, he dashed
away. [ thought / was good runner,
but the wav his bare feet got over the
cinders and gravel led me to believe
otherwise. Once or twice he looked
back, but did not slacken his pace.
Reaching the hills, which are about a
half mile from the track, he soon dis
appeared. The fireman, who had re-
NAMED with the engine, now came up
and went around the bill, but he had
disappeared from view. confess did
not dare to follow him around there
alone. AS it was late, and our engine
was standing on the main track alone,
we abandoned further search and re-
turned to the engine"

American Inquisitiveness.

Max O. Rel in North American Review
l have said that inquisItlveness was
the chief American trait, and that it
arose from the childish character of
man who belongs to a great, successful,
but young nation. Are there not other
traits, more or less typical of American
manners, arising from the same cause?
l believe there are. Generosity, impul-
siveness, forgiveness, and-excuse the
Word-cheek are among them. The
American runs wildly after the dollar,
but he Is lavish of it; be does not love
it; he likes it for what it procures; and
avarice, which you 30 commonly find III
England and in France, is vice--an
an American. He will resent an in
suit, but very quickly forgets it; and
there is no man in the world that can
stand good-humored chatting as well as
he does. He is audacious. simply be-
cause he has done sucn marvellous
things in such short time that he SIM
ply believes nothing is impossible to
him. His ideas are eccentric, but &C.
centricity is only an exaggerated form
of the activity of mind. lie lives on
continent so vast that he can hardly
see limit to it. He has the word
"big" carved on the Uranium, and is it
a wonder that sometimes the word is so
deeply carved that it makes a hole or
crack in 1t? [ repeat it. have never

though [ have discovered traits that are
characters of most Americans, and,

He unconsciously held my hand.
With his blue eyes stern and earnest,

FOR THE FARMER.
The Village School Boys.


Every morning at halfpast eight
There passes by my garden gate
merry crowd
With laughter loud
Little school boys happy are ye-
All would that you could ever be
From care so free.
Indeed have learned to love the noise
Of these hearty, happy little boys,
..s t-ses. With faces bright,
Hearts so light, - ,a.,,.,....
And can almost see them grow
As in the morning to school they co.
Through rain or snow.
Here comes Tim Brown, the blacksmith IS son,
A sturdy fellow full of fun,
With Arthur Roy,
The doctors boy
The lawyers son with ragged Phil.
The parsons John with fighting Bill
Runs up the hill.
No social monarch here holds sway,
True Democrats alike are they;
The high and low
Together go.
Their happy lives have just begun,
And here the poor and rich mans son
Both feel as one.
And when their faces bright l see,
Often l wonder where they'll be
When years have flown,
And they are grown.
Perhaps the humblest in this band
Among the greatest in the land,
Some day may stand.
We cannot tell as on they glide,
Borne by life's swift, uncertain tide,
Where time will place
Each happy face.
All with the Fathers love are blest,
In his Wise hands we leave the rest.

Not to Get Rid of Mosquitoes.

The fact That dragon flies destroy
mosquitoes has led to belief that by
sufficient zeal in propagating them one
OF the worst pests OF man in many local
tiles might be exterminated. Further
investigation of the habits of the dragon
fly dispels this hope. 1t is very vora-
cious insect, but mosquitoes are not its
only prey. 1t eats with equal voracity
the eggs and larva of its own species,
and when they become numerous
enough these constitute large and
favorite part Of it's diet. Hence mans
allies in the war against mosquitoes are
likely to quit without giving notice.
Why not try to find some useful purp Jose
for the mosquito. If it became ever
thus desirable to breed them, no doubt
their energies would develop rapidly
enough.

Burning Brush on Land.

Wherever heap OF hardwood brush
has been burned, the crop for year or
two after will grow vigorously, but yet
with hard, firm stalk, due to the potash
which the fire has added to the soil.
But after two, or at most three seasons,
this gain is no longer seen, suggesting.
perhaps. that the heat on the soil put in
soluble form some of it's latent fertility,
and when this is used up. the soil re-
lapses into its former condition. Itmay
brush on the land. when the country
was newly cleared gave fictitious tertil-
ity to the new land above what it was
really entitled to. New land now care
fullylclea1ed, and all the wood removed
without burning, is not much, if any,
richer than that long cultivated, if care
fully managed. and given due proper
ton of clover and manure.
