home in Amesburg, n. H., last wednes

Daniel Dougherty, the silver tongued
orator, died at his residence in Philadel-
phia on the 5th inst
Owing to the prevalence of diphtheria in
Kittanning the opening of the public
school of that place has been postponed for
a short time.
Insane jealousy caused Frank Garvin,
a newspaper artist, to murder his wife at
their home in Allegheny, Pa. They were
married on the 9th inst. Murderer in Jail.
A peach grower in Wanesboro, Franklin
county, Pa, named Nicodemus, has p
600 bushels of peaches to harvest, and gets
81 per bushel easily. An independent
fortune in sight.
James Brown, of company Z. 10th Regt.,
is another of the victims of accidental
death among the Guards stationed at Du-
quesne, being struck by train. He was
from Cooperstown, Venango county, and
aged about % years.
Senator Quay has purchased what is
known as the Matthew Stanley farm, four
mics north of Coatesville, Pa. The Sena-
tor passed his boyhood days upon this

A peculiar disease has broken out in
some parts of the state which is battling
the skill of the doctors. 1t resembles ma
laria, but the patient loses his hearing
and lies in semi-conscious state while
under its influence, says an exchange.
We have heard of no Affections of the kind
i'll the vicinity.
How he knows, or by what system of
calculating he arrived at the conclusion we
don't know, but the Franklin News man
has figured that an average waltz takes a
dancer over about three-quarters of mile.
A square dance makes him cover half a
mile. A girl with well filled program
travels thus in an evening: Twelve wales,
nine miles; four other dances at half a
mile apiece, two miles; grand total, eleven
miles.
One of the Cleafield conferees at the Con
gressional conference last week said that
in order to elect Republican to Congress
in this district it was absolutely neccessa-
ry to gain some Democratic votes. He
thought Elk county had presented a very
strong candidate-a loyal Republican, a
typical American workingman and a sol
dier whose war record his children's chill
dren may well be proud of but, he added
; with twinkle of fhumor in his eyes, there
is one very serious drawback-the mans
name is against him. Where in all the
district could you find Democrat who
would vote for Clearwater r2-Ridgway Ad
vocate.
A chemist of note in analyzing the bes
brands of fcigarettes describes as follows
"There are five ingredients in every ci.
garette, each one of which is calculated tC
destroy human life. First, there is oil o
tobacco next, the oil in the imported pa
per, which is nearly as destructive; third
the arsenic introduced to make the papel
burn white and add peculiar flavor
fourth, the saltpetre put in the tobacco tC
prevent it from moulding, and finally, tn,
opium which is sprayed over the tobacco
to give it the insidous influence which i
possesses over the brain. Can you won
der that the animal life of young man II
killed with such disease? In the cigal
or pipe we have but one poison-nicotin,
but it is not inhaled.
DR.. Talmage writes: "There is not on,
man or woman in ten thousand who car
afford to do without seven or eight hours
sleep. All those stories written abou
great men and women who slept only
three or four hours night, make very
interesting reading, but 1 tell you, m,
, readers, no man or woman ever kept heal
thy in body and mind for a number o
years with less than seven hours sleep
Americans need more sleep than they ar,
getting. This lack makes them 50 ner
vous and the insane asylum so populous
IT. you can get to bed early, then rise early
If you cannot get to bed till late, then ris,
late. 1t may be as Christian for one MAJ
: to rise at s as il is for another to rise at 5
1 counsel my readers to get up when the.
are rested.'
When a child is born in the world tn,
physician is present and gets about tel
dollars for officiating at the importan
event. The editor heralds the advent o
the stranger and gets a cursing for making
, a mistake as to sex or date of arrival. fte
! awhile the same child becomes man th
minister is called to perform the marriag
ceremony, and the parson walks off will
ten dollar bill in his pocket for hi
trouble. The editor is again called upol
and chronicles this event and drawing OF
his imagination to make the bride anC
groom the best and most respectable peo
, pie in the county. His only pay is to b'
asked for few free sample copies of hi
paper to send to some absent friend. Ii
time the once baby, once happy groom
but now a we'll advanced man, is brough
down by death. Again the physician il
called i'm and makes his bill the under
, taker is present and oflciates at the fu
neral, and in time wants one hundreC
dollars for the last sad rites, where tn,
editor is expected TO complete the dramt
by holding up the deceased as a mode
gentleman, and who at the present is sing
ing the song of the Redeemer around tn
throne of God in the New Jerusalem. Tn
probabilities are at the same time that tn
baby, the groom, and the dead man, ha
been so Internally stingy that he stinte,
his wife and children, and had never con
tributed one cent to the support of hi
