NEWSY NOTES.

Chas. Cleary, who murdered Chief OF
Police Paul, of Remove, has beer found
guilty of murder in the first degree at
Lock Haven.
A swindler is on the road pretending to
be a government agent selling a liqnid at
$3.50, or whatever he can get per bottle.
He claims for the liquid hat it is a Cana
dian thistle exterminator. Don't invest.

Ar exchange remarks that a man can
start out any day in the week and inside
of an hour and thirty minutes he can en-
gage a woman to work for him for life at
nothing per week, while it will take two
weeks of solid search to get one to work
at fair wages and board, with three nights
out and a fire for a beau two nights a
week. And then talk of marriage being
q failurei
A bill is now pending in the State SEN
ate, authorizing the voluntary retirement,
on full pay. of any Pennsylvania judge
who served twenty-five years in judicial
Office and attained tho age of seventy
years. This ~pensioning civil officers is all
wrong. Our judges get from $4,000 to
$1,000 a year salary. A prudent man can
w enough in twenty-five years to keep
him after he is 20.
The mistake made by most bridal
couples, when sitting for a photo, said a
talkative photographer, is that they insist
on wearing white gloves. White on a
dark background, always shows much
larger in proportion than it should, so the
young man who stands beside his bride is
astonished to find that his photograph
represents him with hands the size of a
5-pound ham. The moral is: Don't wear
white, but black gloves, while the camera
is cycling you.
The story of "our motto'' may be told
over again now that the Mint has invited
artists to submit new designs for the
standard silver dollar, and also the smaller
silver pieces. Not until 1864 when the
war was nearly over, did the United States
of America say ain God We Trust" and
the motto first appeared upon a two-cent
piece. A clergyman suggested it to Sec
rotary Chase, of the Treasury, thinking
that as our country made no mention OF
the Deity in its Constitution it ought to
recognize it in some way, and Mr.. Chase
acquiesced so far as the two.cent piece was
concerned. The first ideas awakened by
the good clergyman's admonition were
"Our Country" sour God,' "Our Trust
Mr.. Chase boiled these down, and SIN
God We Trust" was the result. The two
cent piece is no longer made, but the mot
to now appears on all the larger coins.
A great uneXplored cave was recently
found near Clarion, which emits a sort
of blue fog, chill as from a powerful re-
frigeiator. A pail of water suspended al
a depth of 10 feet was drawn up after 4
hours and found to be almost a solid cake
of ice. AS far as known no living animal
could remain in the opening for more than
a few minutes The mystery will be un.
ravelled as soon as some adventurous
being can be found willing to go down
and see where all this cold is manufac-
tured. 1t beats a cold storage company
all hollow, and snakes will not seek this
retreat. What an admirable place for the
man who gets hot under the collar when
he gets left in a contest. 1t is thought
that the bung of this cool resort was pull
ed a few months ago for q freezing out
purpose. And this may account for the
weather that exists.-CIarion JachSonian.
