The smallest human being ever born il
Chester county, Pa, says the Doylestowr
Intelligencer, is now at the home of Mary
Cole, the mother, about mile from Wes
Chester. The child can easily be placed IL
a pint measure and its head is little larger
than a walnut.

Mr.. John Tratford, foreman of the Whit
aker Iron Company mills at Principle were
married in North East, Tuesday afternoon
at 9 80 o'clock at the residence of the brides
parents The Rev. j. b. Quigg, performed
the ceremony.
We received IA friendly call on Tuesday
from our former fellow townsman, Mr.
Henry A. Wright, who Is now eng sged in
business in Wilmington, where he runs four
teams in general hauling. While his BUSH
ness prospects are tiattering, yet he says ii
he could fluid farm in Cecil to suit him, he
believes he could be persuaded to .e,uTl to
this county. We hope some one will offer
him just the size and kind of farm Z
wants. We need plenty of men in Cecil
just like Mr.. Wright.
Mary Foster the wife of Augustus
Foster died at her home IL Elk Neck on
Sunday nigFt of the grip. Mrs. Fosters
maiden ma % was LOTHIAN, her mother
being Charlotte LOTHIAN. Previous to her
marriage to her last husband her four
children were taken from her and sent TO a
home of tie trendless in Baltimore, one OF
whom on account of its tender years was
afterwards returned TO her. Her funeral
took place on Tuesday her interment being
in the old grave yard on the Mooney farm
in Elk Neck. Mrs. Foster was about thirty
five years old.
An exciting and crowd attracting
wrestling bout between Harry Boulder and
Delphos Moore, occurred on Main street,
opposite the Howard House, on Saturday
night. 1t seems that Moore was standing
on the sidewalk talking to several friends,
when Harry Boulder suddenly threw him
to the ground. This attack was entirely
unprovoked on Moore's part, and it being
unexpected he could not protect himself.
As a means of vindication, the struggle
was resumed in the middle of the street,
and the friends of each man took sides, and
cheered on their champion. The champion
ship was not decided, as b lilff Boulder
arrived on the scene as the men tumble d
over the curbing.
Mrs. Emma P, Ewing in one OF her
cent lectures at Chautauqua concerning
good cooking said: Cooks are wanted every.
where. There is scarcely village in the
land where a competent woman could not
earn big wages in giving cooking lessons
Half dozen churches in Kansas City each
paid me for a course of lectures a sum
larger than the average school teacher Can
earn in year. Why, women instead o.
men should make all the pies and cakes for
our cities and towns and villages. What
this country needs is better pumpkin pies
and less politics; but the women say i:
too hard work kneading the bread. This is
one Of the biggest lies that was ever in
flcted upon a crrdulous public. Good
bread is the greatest need of the nineteeutl
century.
The next thing we know horses will b,
wearing speGtacl5s on the streets. A wei
known firm of opticians in London manu-
fIcture specially constructed specJacles t
be worn by horses The object is to pro
mote thigh stepping Horse spectaGles
we learn, are made of stiff leather, quite in
closing the eyes of the horse, and tn
glasses employed are deep concave auC
large in size The effect is to give tn,
ground in front of the horse the appearance
of icing raised; the animal, therefore, steps
high, thinking he is going up hill or has t.
step over an obstacle in frCrt OF him.
the system is persevered with when tn
animal is young the effect il said to b
marvellous. Many horses, 1t is alleged
could be materially improved by visit t.
the optician, and it is recommended tina
the sight of all horses should be tested
This particularly applies to valuable hun
tiers, which are found OFFICIALLY unfit fol-
their work, when a little artificial assis
lance would make them as useful as ever
Apart from this consideration, many vices
it is believed, might be cured by means 0
eye glasses. The cause of shying il, as
rule, short sight. What next?
