4 Farewell to Ei,isbolO's Fair Song
stress,

Once more the doors of Greystone
outward SWING 10 receive within it's
portals The fairest women and bravest
men to listen, applaud, and alas! to say
long farewell to Miss Gardner. Mrs.
Reecher left nothing undone for the
pleasure and entertainment of her guests
or the cordial welcome of the one whose
parting we are so soon to speed. Never,
We thought, had Grace's voice seemed
so sweet and sympathetic as, in radiant
health and spirits, she sang the old
songs, from the far off dreamy "Ave
Maria," to the soft weird tones of the
negro mammy's lullaby to her "lill
white baby boy" that brought tears to
the eyes and choking in the throat of
the audience. One wish alone went NJ,
when the circle of admiring friends
joined in "Way Down on the Swanee
River" God speed and keep our prina
donna, give her health and strength to
do her beautiful work and bring her
back to the land of the free and the
home OF the brave, make the hours short
to her loving, waiting parents.
"Hail and farewell. farewell and hail
The going and the coming guest.
Welcome to daybreaks shining sail
As to the night beyond the west
The years may come, the years may go,
And bring the sad or merry mood;
Merry or sad, one thing we know,
That life is good, ah, life is good"

SOME FIGURES
From the Vital and Social Sta
tistics of the County.
Four Remarkable Instances of Lou.
gevity.

The table OF vital aud social statistics
for the year ending March !, 1892, which
has lately been summarized in the Pro-
bate Judges Office from the various re-
ports received there, furnishes some in
terestiDg facts.
The total number of births in the
county for the year was SIG, as com pared
with 470 in the previous year OF deaths
there were 296 this year and 81 in 1891,
while the marriages fell off from 26S to
260. OF the births 492 were whites Of
the deaths 2S0 were of the whites, and
the colored population only furnished
1s of the $50 marriages.
OF the grand total, Liberty township,
N. p, furnished AZ births, 40 deaths, and
the S. r. furnished 80 births and "A
deaths. A curious fact revealed by the
reports is that there was neither birth
nor death among the colored people of
the South Precinct OF Liberty township
during the year.
The most common causes of death
during the year were Ia grippe and con.
sumption, and each of these diseases
numbered thirty eight victims. There
we're twenty-one deaths from heart dis.
case and ten from paralysis, while ty.
phoid fever carried Off thirteen and pneu.
monia fifteen. Fourteen were reported
as dying OF Old age and there was one
suicide.
One of the most interesting studies in
connection with the table is an analysis
OF it showing the ages at which death
occurred. There were ffty-three deaths
OF persons under ten years of age, be-
tween that and twenty years there We're
seventeen between twenty and thirty,
thirty.one thirty aud forty, twenty
four; forty and fifty, twenty fifty
and sixty, twenty-one; sixty and seven
ty, twenty.seven seventy and eighty,
forty.eight; eighty and ninety. thirty.
three. Between ninety and one hund
red there were four who answered the
call, while four more veterans we're sum.
moned after rounding out the century.
Liberty township, N. p, and Penn
township exhibit the two most rema ka.
BILE instances OF longevity, in the cases
of Maria Tate and Charity Lawson, both
colored, who had each reached the ex.
traordinary age Of one hundred and ten
years. 1t is doubtful if any other county
could show two such remarkable cases
Liberty, N. p, also furnishes anothe,
one OF those who completed the century
in the person of Solomon Hudson whose
age is returned at an even one hundred
Sarah G. Rains, the other one of the aged
quartette, lived in the East Precinct o
Fairfield township, and had reached the
age of 100 years, months and % days
One boy was sent from the county tc
the reform school, and seven males anG
six females to the asylum. Forty-twc
letters Of guardianship, thirty letters
testamentary and thirty eight letters O
administration were issued, and thirty
six were admitted to probate. One for
eigner, Griffith Jones, native OF Wales
received naturalization papers.

The law requiring the officiating officer
at marriage ceremony to make return
to the Probate Judges Office seems to be
stumbling block for q good many, and
frequent errors result. The minister or
other person who united NJ. V. Igo and
Mary @. Bloom in the holy bonds and
made return of the fact on May 10th,
should call at the Probate Office and
correct the error he made in not signing
his name to the return.

Rathmel as "osserver" Sees 1t.

II has been said that while the sun
shone that IL was the only protection
for women but this fails to be the case
in Rathmel. There is gang Of boys
and young men, or at least they call
themselves men. but they fail to show
manly principles, who congregate at
the crossings and wherever people have
to pass in going to the store or post
office, and make all kinds of remarks
about young ladies and married women
who chance to pass by the gang. On
Sunday a dozen or two can be seen
along the roads playing cards. But
who is the one that will reveal to the
public whether or no they play for
money! The one who would reveal
this fact would gain the respect of the
citizens. And. again. they go to church
and talk and whisper so that the
preacher cannot preach and the people
who go to church to hear are greatly
annoyed, yet there is no effort made to
have such work stopped. Shame on
the citizens who own property here and
expect TO make this their future home.
There are boys whom their parents
think are at night school, but let the
parents take walk around to some OF
the ''resorts" and see if they will not
find them there. The writer thinks
the parents ought to know where there
boys are and see il they cannot keep
them in their places. I trust this hint
may be sufficient to make a radical
change in such matters as referred to.

The year of 1892 will be the most
noted Of any in the annals of time for
its storms, extreme heat, disasters, on
sea and land, labor troubles, blood
curdling deeds, four political parties
that are seeking to fill the presidential
chair, and political contentious. Not
only for the above reasons, but for the
fact that some of the old ''sleepy towns"
have "rolled over in their beds" so to
speak, and are making an effort to get
awake. Brookville is to have furni-
ture and wagon factory, Lock Haven is
indulging in little ''boomlet" and is to
have an electric street car line. The
fire clay near Clinton county's capital
promises to give the town animation
for sometime If it is worked. Indiana is
having glass plant put up there, and
last week some Pittsburg capitalists
visited Indiana's county seat and were
favOrably impressed with the prospect
OF making it a summer resort. Is it
any wonder that this year pass down to
posterity as famous one? Yea, verify,
mol Is the millennium about to dawn,
or does all this come about on account
OF the nearness of the planet Mars to us?

Polly Saved tho vaiuabies.

We had moved into a newly built
house, which had all the modern i'm
provements, the electric bell being one
Of them.
1t was cold winters night. Mr.. and
Mrs. j. were travelling in Europe and
the servants were all gathered about the
kitchen fire. Polly was also near the
fire, but in the dining room, which was
up stairs.
She used to see our mistress ring the
bell for the servants to enter, and, like
a clever bird, studied on this for long
while.
On this night Polly was all alone,
when suddenly the door opened and
two men entered. The room being
dark they could not see the bird and
began searching for valuables, for they
were burglars.
Polly now proved her worth. She put
out her claw and pressed the button of
the electric bell.
1t brought the servants to the dining
room, where, after short struggle, they
secured the burglars, who were about to
make way with much of the valuable
silver in the dining room.
Polly was fed on dainties for some
time as q reward for her valuable as.
sistance. Cor. New York Recorder.

Experiments on Animals.

For seven years have been making
almost daily experiments upon the in
ternal organs of dead animals in order
to increase my knowledge of compare
tive pathology. The postmortem ex-
aminations were made for the most part
at the Lamparter Glue works, In the
suburbs Of Lancaster, Pa. Here Of
course were the bodies of large numbers
Of animals which afforded me an abun-
dant supply of subjects for examination.
The vicinity of the works swarmed with
rats. Many of those, the workmen told
me, sickened and died from time to time,
and became curious to know something
about the disease that carried so many
of the rodents off.
/ could find next to nothing about the
rat in books, so the thought growing
upon me that the disease so fatal to the
rat might be made dangerous to the
rats nearest neighbor, man himself,
undertook series of experiments. My
first rat subject was sickpne which
captured in the yard of the glue works
without any exertion. The animal
crawled about, made no effort to escape
from me and when picked up offered no
resistance. Its appearance indicated that
it was dying of general debility. Its
body was greatly emaciated. Its back
was arched and its face bore an express
sion Of distress. II refused food, was
racked with constant cough and in a
few hours after being captured was
found dead in the comfortable prison in
which had placed it.
My next subject was a healthier and
more active rat. Icaught him only to
mark him and then gave him his free
dom. He came into the yard regularly
for his rations of flesh from various ami
mails, but gradually showed the same
symptoms that marked the condition Of
my first subject, and in fourteen days
after capture he, too, was dead. The
postmortem examination of these two
cases developed the fact that the lungs
were badly diseased. tuberculosis had
destroyed the right lung of each and
only part of the left remained.-Dr.
s. r. Weber's Lecture.
