Miss Lizzie M. Carhart, of Blooms
bury, this county, who has been attending
business college in Trenton, it is said,
has become suddenly the 1T cipient of quite
a large fortune. While travelling last Fall
on the Pennsylvania railroad out of Phia-
delphia, the car that she was in ran from
the track, after becoming detached. In
the jar and confusion viii h ensued, when
all were looking out for self, she gave as
sistance to an old gentleman, who had be-
come fastened by seat overturning. AS
a reward she received, month ago, a
copy of a will made by the old gentleman,
Mr.. Cook, OF Arch Street, Philadelphia
in which she is made heiress at his death
to 100000. The will is very peculiar in
some respects, as half of the property re-
naming at Miss Carhart's death, is to be
divided equally between Girard College
aud the Academy of Fine Arts, Philadel-
phia. Exchange.

ostriehas In California.

The successful importations of os-
triches from southern Africa in 1889 and
1888 caused great deal of alarm to the
Cape Colony growers, and the provincial
parliament imposed an export duty Of
$500 head upon them. Notwithstand-
ing this well nigh prohibitory tax, en-
terprising Americans have since brought
over something like 100 birds, and those
already here have done so well that it is
