A Student of Job.

You think everything is old fogy that
doesn't belong to the present day Of en-
Hghtenment and grand Inventions" said
church deacon a few evenings ago
"Humph! Old Solomon said 5000 years
ago, There's nothing new under the sun. )
Why, even in Jobs day, 500 years before,
they had cash boys in their stores,' and the
deacon looked around complacently on the
grizzled faces of the brethren when he said
it. "But how can you prove that, dea-

Live HOLSTERS in Demand,

There is now strong demand for live
Holsters. The restaurants, boarding
houses and many of the families that
used to demand boiled Holsters now or
der them alive. because it is the within
of the moment to eat them after they
have been broiled alive The idea is
that the flesh is half dozen times more
s1cculent then than if they are killed
first Humanitarians need not shudder.
There never was any human method of
killing lobster. He used to be boiled
alive, and now he is broileu. It is doubt
full whether, if each lobster could be cues
toned, many of them would care which
way they were treated.-New York Sun.

A POETS Advice-

A Dervish, lazy and hungry, met a
Stuff poet, and he begged of him aims,
but the son Of songs and the father of
sayings said 81 have only the wisdom
of God, the advice of the dead and the
songs of men"
"Will song fill my paunch?'' cried the
other. To whom made answer the poet:
Sing song of sixpence, and that

ter the rye and that will fetch silly
blackbirds to make for you a pie-and
any girl will cook it.
Thanks" said the man.-Century.

Tribute TO a Faithful Comrade.

At a regular meeting of Capt. George
Stow Post, No. 274, G. A. r., on March Is,
1891, the following report was adopted by
a rising vote, and ordered to be given to
the county papers for publication:
The undersigned, appointed by the Post
to write a tribute of respect or memorial
of our respected Comradc, Daniel Black,
Sergeant of Co. E, 10th Pa. Reserves.
Without detracting from other workers
in our ranks, your committee feel obliged
10 say that, in the organization of the Post
this venerable and earnest Comrade did
more to establish the Post, when it was
started on August 0, 1882, than any other
member, and that since that time has been
the most active and jealous member in
our ranks. Long before our noble order
obtained a foothold here, this worthy COM
rade was working with that end in view,
aud the pride which he has taken in the
same, his soldierly spirit, his charity and
benevolence, his earnestness, and all his
good qualifications has aroused the admi-
ration of us all; for diligence lie has no
superior. When he Joined the Post, in
Aug. 8, 1882, as q charter member, he was
So years of age, consequently he is now
about sixty-seven, and during the 9 years
he has been with us all the time, and not
w~ithstanding his infirmities, and his resi-
dence about 2 miles from Cur headquarters,
he has been as regular an attendant as
any residing in sight of our hall. 1t was
very proper, although the honor was long
delayed, that he was elected to the highest
office we could give him, Post Command
err, during his eighth year of membership,
and the Post would be ungrateful indeed
IL it did not remember his eminent SER
vices in the heat of summer, during the
rains of autumn and the SHOWS of winter,
in visits OF good will, attending to the
sick and the destitute comrades of those
who once wore the blue. Weare thankful
to Providence that this good comrade is
still spared to us, and we feel that we can
not properly estimate the great good he
has done in his errands of mercy, and by
his encouragement when the prospects
looked dark, they were always bright to
him, for he cheered us on, and would not
admit there was any such word as fail.
We all cordially acknowledge this tribute
to Past Commander Black, a man that
every member of our order within the cir
Gle of his acquaintance delights 70 honor.
Respectfully submitted,

WANTED FOR PERJURY.

John Wilt, who had been shantying
and keeping bachelors hall in the
northern outskirts of the city, and who
is wanted on the charge of perjury by
II. II. Wilson, has disappeared from
the city and nothing has yet been
learned as to his whereabouts. The
fact will be remembered that after the
Everhart murder, H. II. Wilson, oil
Townville, Crawford county, was ar.
rested on suspicion and held for several
months in the Clarion county Jail.
One of the persons on whose testimony
he was detained vas q Mrs. Carter, of
the Clapp Farm. He subsequently,
had her arrested on the charge of per.
jury, proved clearly hal she had
sworn falsely and the result was that
she was convicted and sent to tho
Pe~nitentiary. John Wilt was another
individual who testified against vii.
son. The latter proceeded to secure
evidence to convict Wilt of perjury.
Finally, considering his case complete,
he had a warrant sworn out about
three weeks ago for the arrest of Wilt.
The Clarion county Constable who
came here with the warrant says that
when he served it upon Wilt, zeal his
shanty, the latter went into a store
and refused TO come out. The Con.
stable was either unable to bring him
out or lacked the requisite nerve to
exercise his ability. At any rate, be
did not bring him out, but came down
town for police assistance. Officer
Hall went up with him, but before
their arrival Wilt had changed bis
mind about leaving the store. He
had gone, but whittier he journeyed
has not since been ascertained. 1t il
claimed that he has a wife aud family
in Baltimore, and it is supposed that
he either went there or to some place
in Virginia Oil city Blissard.

A FRANKLIN HORROR.

Franklin has another fearful TRACE.
dy on her hands, the second within
three weeks. On Sunday morning
last, between the hours of 5 and 6
o'clock, the dwelling house of N. P.
Tobin, a well.known merchant tailor
Of that city, was discovered to be on
fire. Before a stream of water could
be got to play OH the building it was
too far gone to be saved and ii was
almost totally destroyed. Before the
fire was entirely over the horrible dis.
covery was made that Mr.. Tobin had
been in the building, and his cbarred
remains were taken from the ruins.
All the surrounding circumstances in.
dictate that there was foul play, and
that the unfortunate victim had been
first murdered, and the house fred TO
cover up the crime. Some Of the de.
tails we Gull from the Nel0s:
"On the top of the head was found
a long scalp wound, which was pro.
nounced to be the source Of the blood
found on the carpet. A careful exam
iDation of the brain, however, revealed
no injury to that organ, thus indicating
that, if a wound vas inflicted on the
head, it may have stunned the victim
but was not of a fatal nature. In the
region of the throat were found evi.
dences.of violence. There were prints,
as of a thumb aud fingers, on the ex.
terror of the throat. The upper part
of the wind. pipe was considerably
ruptured, the lungs congested, and The
tongue was forced out between the
teeth. These facts are thought to give
color to a theory that the deceased
had first been stunned by a blow and
then choked TO DEATH"
AT first it wal thought to have been
the dastardly work of tramps which
had been seen in the vicinity the day
or evening before. This theory, how
ever, has since been exploded, and
to day the authorities are as much al
sea as to the perpetrators of the crime
or the motive which inspired it as
ever, although they have been Gill,
gently at work ever since in trying to
ferret ouL the mystery. Two men
we're seen running away from the
building by a young man named
Deets, who was the first TO get to the
fire.
Mrs. Tobin aud two little children
had gone on a visit Saturday evening
intending to remain over Sunday
This left Mr.. Tobin the only occupan,
of the house on the fatal night. AL
in all the mystery is deep one and
will likely require some superior de
~tective work in its solution.
