"A western medium has just had long
interview with the spirit of Adam. He re
ports that Adam still blames the whole

A walk through George Walters mill
will convince anyone that it is very COM
plete affair, and that it is doing good work
is proved by the fact that it is now kept
going night and day. George spent the
best part of ten thousand dollars on his

chinery and apparatus known to the trade
and is now reaping the benefits of his en-
terprise.
jay Gould is suffering from nervous
prostration, the result Of ovcrwork. Mr..
Gould's overwork has resulted in the ac-
cumulation Of about $75,000,000. He
wants more, and his nervous system is
prostrated. Nobody cares how much he
is prosrrated. A little herring boweled
weasel who has seventy five millions and
wants more is simply an educated hog.
Who care whether be is prostratedl He
has unanimous consent to die and 90 to
the dickens as soon as possible. Frank

A Beaver county paper is responsible
for the following: Sunday a preacher
and doctor drove out iuto the country,
the former to preach and the latter to doc
tor. Near Benefits run, while driving
slowly, they saw couple walking ahead
of them lovingly. Suddenly the young
man embraced the girl and kissed her.
The doctor coughed and the preacher said
amen. This unexpected demonstration on
the part of the men in the buggy put
stop to the love making scene, and when
the couple recovered they ran to one side
Of the road and were looking the other way
when their disturbers passed. Though it
is partly in my line of business to do so, ,
said the preacher, 4 never like to throw
cold water on an affair of this kind and
the doctor smiled sickly smile"
