NEWSY NOTES.


Jake Kilrain Is to the front again. At
San Francisco, II night last week, he
knocked out George Godfrey, a negro, in
a 44-round contest. Jake's friends in this
part of the world can now look up and
smile.
In the matter of population the county
of Crawford has for some time been on the
back track. In 1889 one of her four MEM
in the Legislature was dropped from the
list. Under the new apportionment, under
the last census, the county will be allowed
only two. The county will no longer be a
separate Senatorial district, as the popula-
ton (65, 0OO) falls below the requirement of
for a district.
Many years practice have given c. A..
Snow & Co., Solicitors Of Patents at Wash
ington, d. c., unsurpassed success in OBJ
tanning patents for all classes of invention.
They make a specially of rejected cases,
and have secured allowance of many
patents that had been previously rejected.
Their advertisement in another column,
will be of interest to inventors, %patentees,
manufacturers, and all who nave to do
with patents.
The big Holstein steer, Jumbo, now be-
ing fattened OH the farm of VIM. Singerly,
editor of the Philadelphia Record, at his
farm in Gwynedd township, Montgomery
county, has reached the weight of 1888
pounds. He eats twenty quarts of corn
meal daily. The largest specimen of the
bovina SDncias nvar raoordad v-aS tba A 0On
pound OK raised by Samuel Arkley in
Somerset county, Pa, and exhibited at
the Centennial Exposition in Philadelphia.
A poor beggar woman visited our town
last week one day, and during the after
noon entered a bank and had her gather
ings, about twelve dollars, in nickels and
and pennies, exchanged for gold. The re-
port speaks we'll for the charity of peo-
pie, but they should nevertheless look out
for the professional" Mercer Dispatch.
This is probably the old woman who
makes periodical begging trips to the
towns in this section and is on the road all
the time for that purpose. Here as well as
elsewhere, she has gathered a good deal of
small change to convert into gold and is
reputedly a rich woman.-Bhzzdrd.
The writer of this item, which we
find floating around credited, as the ma
jority of good things in some newspapers
usually are, to an Exchange" must have
read Edward Bellamy's "Looking Back
ward :" "1n a crowd of ten men you will
find nine who have mistaken their call

and brilliant writer's are shooting horses.
There are lawyers who ought to be cow
punchers, and COW punchers who ought to
practise law surgeons who ought to he
saving wood, and wood cutters who ought
to be saving bones. There are men in the
p~enitentiary who ought to be holding pos
itions of trust, and men holding positions
of trust who ought to be in the p%eniten-
tiary.'
Babies ave their trials as well as grown
up people, and labor under the disadvam-
tage of being unable to tell what's the
matter with them. For about a year the
little daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. II. p
Parker has been troubled by its nose, and
considering the nature of the trouble, as
discovered lO'uay, inc lllJle TOT is ueSefN-
ing of considerable credit for being 81
lively and cheerful during that time,
Various remedies had been applied and
medical examinations made from time
to time with no satisfactory results until
to-day, when a final examination resulted
in thed discovery of a shoe button far up in
one of the nostrils of the little girl, where
it had been for the time mentioned-near-
ly a year.. If by any combination OF
circumstances a full grown man could
have been similarly afflicted for that
length of time what a fuss he would have
made about it.-Blizzard.
