An exchange says that "limburger
cheese cut and laid in cupboards and re-
frigerators will drive ants away" You
bet it willard uncles, cousins and in
fact the whole family.
Where there is predisposition to weak
lungs it is of the greatest value to culti-
vate the habit of deep inspiration in
breathing. Practice filling the lungs,
putting in at least five or ten minutes

Counterfeiters near Erie have by chem
ical aid split 81 and s. bills, pasted the
backs of the ones to the faces of the fives,
and vice versa, so that by laying the big
side up they have usually passed the bills
without question.
In the State Supreme Court Monday,
the application for change of venue from
Crawford county in the case of the Della
matters, the bankers, who failed last year,
was refused by Justice Paxson. The
grounds for the application were the pref
udice of the depositors and the inflamma-
tory articles published in the newspapers
after the failure.
The fourth annual report of the w. N.
Y. q P. railroad makes favorable show
ing. The gross earnings for the last fiscal
year were $500, ,67s; the operating ex-
penses $2,4S5,7S2 and the net earnings

and taxes balance of $44s, l45 remained,

There Is most peculiar question grow
ing out of the settlement of an estate, the
owner of which perished in the Johns
town food, before the Courts of Cambria
county. A husband died not long before
the flood, leaving his estate, by will TO his
wife, who lost her life, as did her children
in that terrible disaster. Now the question
is to be decided, who shall get the estate
In law it is presumed that when number
of people perish in flood the stronger is
the last to die. The brothers and sisters
of the woman in this case claim the estate
as her heirs, on the presumption that she
died last, but she had son II years old
whom the relations on the fathers side
insist lived longer than his mother. The
points are all novel and will require rare
judgment in disposing of them, and o.
course it will be carried TO the highest
court of appeals.
The Blizzard says, the latest report o
burglaries in the recent series of sucf
reports, comes faom McKeesport, where
two residences were entered and consid
erable amount of cash and jewelry was
stolen. There appears to be good GROUND
foI believing that within the past two
weeks representatives of regular gang o
thieves have started from Southern New
York and taken a foraging trip dowr
through Pennsylvania. AS heretofore re

which they have been reported and thu
manner in which they have occurred hav'
indicated, as noted, the work of ganl
passing along southwark, through loca
talent has doubtless had hand in SOM
of them. AS no arrest has been effected
in connection with these burglaries, it il
evident that the perpetrators have eithe
been very lucky of slick hands at thei
business. If they continue their foraginl
trip steadily southwark, it would seen
that the capture of some of them ought h
be possible before they get as far ASA.
Key West, Fla. But it is probable tina
the robberies at McKeesLort, with few
others in that part of the State, will con
stitute the round up for their present trip
and that they will now turn their atten
