There were two little kittens, black and

And grandmamna ssid with frown:

The black one we'd better drown.
Don't cry. my dear''-to tiny Bess.
"One kittens enough to keep;
Now run to nurse, for It's growing late.
And time you were fast asleep
The morrow dawned, and rosy and sweet
Came little Bcss from her nap;
The nuuc said Go into mammals room
And look In grandma's lap
"Come here" said erandmamma with
smile,
From the rocking chair where she sat,
God has sent you two little sisters
Now what do you think OF that2''

A Snccesa.

The entertainment given in Ferguson S
theatre on Saturday night, for the benefit Of
Adam Mort, was grand success. The only
compliant was that 'the show was not long
enough" Madden and Lowery made a
great hit with their specialties aud all others
who took part in the entertainment were
quite successful. They were P, j. o Mel,
Edward Tobin, p. j. Gallagher, Welsh &
Mulligan and II. O, Waters. Thomas
Brennan and VIM. Gibson gave lively
boxing exhibition. A nice sum was netted
for the beneficiary.

STILL in DOUBT !
RESULT OF THE CHRISTMAS
STABBING YET UNCERTAIN
NO BAIL CAN BE ACCEPTED.
What at first Appeared to be an
Ordinary Street Brawl, May
be a Murder-Five Arrests.
In Jail.

Shortly after midnight on Christmas
crowd of Hungsrians became involved in q
heated discussion in one of the Hungarian
saloons of town. Blows were struck and
the crowd dispersed. Some time after, as
Charles Valunus, who had been in the
crowd, was on his way home down West
Lloyd street, he was attacked by five
Hungarisni with names that would absorb
all the letters in well-flled case. The
attack was fierce and bloody one. Val
unus wa. punched, kicked, beaten with a
pick handle and cut with knives about the
head and shoulders. His assailants made
their escape, but were soon gathered in by
Policemen Davis and Conners, Acting
Chief Hopkins and special Alex. Valunus
presented sorry spectacle and was sent
to his home for medical treatment. his
! injuries were pronounced serious and hi,
assailsnts we're committed to the lookup
without bail. Saturday afternoon the
attending physician said the victim was in
a critical condition and Squire Williams
thought it would be unwise to accept bail
On this decision the FIVE prisoners were
taken to the Pottsvlle Jail, This morning
Valunus was still in very bad condition
and the accused men are still in Jail.

INGRATITUDE in children is becom-
ing daily more apparent. Such was
the case in the waywardness of Edwin
M. Field, and the result is only too
well known. Little are some child
ren aware of the great debt they owe
their parents. Nor of the labor, care,
or sacrifices they have been compelled
to shoulder in order to bring up their
sons and daughters. How often, yes,
far too often, do these children turn
migrate and repay the "old man" and
"old woman" as they are pleased to
style them, with nothing but shame
and sorrow, often causing them to die
broken hearted. Boys and girls, treat
the old folks kindly. Give them the
cosiest seat by the hearth, and the first
place at the table, and remember that
however much you do, you cannot
cancel the debt.

cars, with an engine in front and one
behind When near Centralia coupling
chain Of one of the rear cars broke. The
rear engineer stopped, while the other
pulled up the grade to the water tank.
While there another coupling chain broke
and a string Of cars dashed down the grade
from the forward engine into the rear
section of the train. Some cars were
totally wrecked and their contents heaped
on and along side of the tracks, while
other cars were thrown end upwards and
on top of each other. The railroad Of
icials are reticent and say they can give
no idea of the loss by reason of the acci

that has ever occurred to a Lehigh freight

WHAT THE SCRIBES SEE AND HEAR
Rev. Powick Preached an Inter
esting and Appropriate Sermon
on Christmas in the Meth
odlst Church.

The sermons on Sunday in the Methodist
Episcopal church we're appropriate to the
Christmas season. The account given of
the wise men and the shepherds in Matt.
81 2 and Luke 2-8 IA furnished the theme
of discourse. The story of the wise men
or Msgi, is an interesting instance of the
knowledge of the true God which sur
vived among the heather. 1t is easily ac-
counted for when we remember that for
two thousand years the earth was of one
family and tongue and upon their disper-
sion at Babel they bore with them the true
knowledge of God which was the common
possession of all. Bslaam was prophet OF
the true God though he lived in the far
east from which the Msgi came ald he it
was who uttered the prophecy; II shall
see Him but not now; l shall behold Him
but not nigh there shall come Star out Of
Jacob and a sceptic shall rise out Of Israel
Daniel was made the master of the wise
men of Babylon and doubtless he kept
alive among them the expectation of the
coming deliverer who had been foretold un-
der the figure of the Star and by his
prophecy gave clue to the time of his ap.
out, and when the miraculous star ap.
peared in the east they understood It's
meaning and followed its guidance. TIC
| the Jews the message was sent by angels
Doubtless because they were more fa'
miliar with angelic manifestations. And SC
God reveals himself to men and communi-
Gates with them according 10 their OWL
capabilities of apprehending his revelation
In infinite confederation he suits himself tC
our capacities. Another lesson is, God i,
no respector of persons though He is o.
character. In one case He selected the
most influential and profoundly philoso-
phiesl class, and in the other, humble
shepherds to receive the first tidings OF the
! new born king. God requires receptive
spirit, love of the truth, mee6ness, do
cility in those he employs as mis- messen
gers, In the one case He fOuud il in the pro
fessional religious teachers and sages, anC
in the other he did not God has no neeC
for human learning-nor ignorance, either
He has no respect for either wealth O
poverty as such. The wise men worshipp
Him-not her-and the shepherds pro.
claimed Him. Here we have side by sid,

piety illustrated They are equally useful
Another lesson is concerning the unive
salty Of the Gospel, The prophecy was ful
filled which said "the Gentiles shall com,

thy rising" And the angelic yisitants de
clared that the glad tidipgs of great joy
