MRS. Emily Il. Williamson, Secretary of
the State Charities Aid Society, has sub

lcism OF the county alnshouses of the
state. The only almshouses she deems
worthy OF her praise are those at Newark.
Paterson, and those in Cumberland and
hudson counties. What Mrs. Williamson

General Sewell has been appointed Second
Vice President of the Baltimore and Po-
tomac Railroad, and will have an office in
Washington. This appointment does not
effect his present status with the West Jer-
sey Railroad. The Pennsylvania Railroad is
contemplating extensive betterments at
the National Capital, and feels it impor-
tlnt to have some one ON the ground with
the ability and influence necessarily requir-
ed in an undertaking which will necessi-
tate the expenditure of two or three million
OF dollars. The comforting of an office in
yolving so much responsibility shows the
esteem in which the General is held by the
Pennsylvania Railroad Company.

Strange Actions of Birds.

While riding along the Pennsgrove and
Sharptown road last Saturday night about
$50 o'clock. We noticed four small birds
fitting here and there over. the frosty
snow as it glistened under the rays of the
moon. For over two miles these small
birds, apparently sparrows, kept in ad-
vance of us, flying short distance ahead
and alightiDg in the roadway, where they
remained sometimes until the horse's fec
would nearly strike them, then flying
ahead as before. We became much inter-
ested and watched them closely, and at
last they flew on the arm of the bridge
at the base of one of the hills below SHARP
town, retaining their perch as we passed
by.

A dispatch from Lewisburg, w.
Va, states that Sheriff w. H. Beller,
of Macon county, who was lost in
the Yew Pine mountains, Greenbrier
county, W. Va, nearly three weeks
ago, and was given up for dead, was
found alive to-day by party of hun.
tiers on Cherry river. He had exist
ed for nineteen days on one pheasant
and one mouse and was nearly fam
ished when found. Sheriff Bsller
and party started from Mason coun
ty on a hunting expedition to the
Yew Pine Mountains, Greenbrier
county, on the 11th Of November.
There was a deep snow in the noun
tains when they arrived, and while
searching for a location for their
camp, Beller became separated from
his companions and was unable to
rejoin them The other members of
the party instituted search for the
lost man, but all efforts to find him
proved unsuccessful. The search was
continued until few days ago when
he was given up for dead and the
party returned home. His discovery
now 10 received with as much rap
turous delight as though he had
risen from the dead.

1t goes without saying that the
largest family in the State is found
at the West Virginia Hospital for the
Insane, located at Weston. 1t is con
fessedly the largest and most impor-
tant of the Commonwealth public

about 937 patients under treatment,
small decrease from last report, to
which number is added possibly one
hundred employees, including the
medical corps, and other officers. In
other words. there are over 1000
people in this enormous building who
are provided for in the way Of eata
bles three times day Perhaps more
food is consumed there at single
meal than at the combined tables OF
half dozen of the best and most
fastidious hotels in the State. For
illustration, ON Thanksgiving day.
one of the events always gladly
anticipated by the inmates, there
were los turkeys prepared and serv-
ed for dinner, whose total weight ag-
gregated l,02S pounds. Then there
were 10 bushels of potatoes, 1000
punches of celery, SO gallons Of to
matoes and 81 gallons Of blackberry
jam. 1t required Is loaves Of light
bread to stuff the turkeys and about
barrels of -four to furnish the other
breadstuffs for the day. Seven large
buckets Of mince meat, averaging
about three gallons each, were used
in making pies, other eatables were
served in proportionate quantities.
The inmates are splendidly provided
for and have all that the market af-
fords yet the institution is economi
cally maintained and the average

Harrity out Of 1t.

Chairman Harrity has set at rest
all rumors that he is be given a
place in Mr.. Cleveland's Cabinet by
a public declaration made yesterday
in Washington that there is no posi-
ton in the Cabinet he would accept.
He further declared that he likes
his present position of Secretary of
the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania
and that he proposes to serve out
his term Those who have been in
Mr.. Harrity's confidence have known
for some time that he would not &C.
cept Cabinet position if it were
offered bin. His public declaration
on this subject should be the end OF
all gossip in the matter. Mr.. Har-
rity is a practical politician who be-
lieyes that he who asks or accepts
no favors for work done in a public
or political way occupies The highest
position an American citizen can
aspire To and in this he is clearly
right.
