nnetnrnd II. own Tail.

A small boy gave lesson in natu-
raj history the other day. He brought
into the Office a species of lizard pop
ularly known as the ''swift." Hold
ing the little reptile above his head
he let it fall to the floor, with the re
suit that a section of its tail was
broken of, Noticing that it was
minus part of its prehensile organ
the swift, after discovering the
piece of tail lost, backed slowly up to
it, and placing the stub against the
piece held it in contact for few sec
onds, and then ran swiftly away with
his tail glued together apparently as
sound as ever. This experiment wa
repeated several times with the same
result. Swift glue could doubt
less be used successfully in sticking
dismembered limbs, fingers, ETC., to.
gether, and we throw out this sug
gestion to local surgeons for what il
is worth. Ontario Observer.

Breach of Promise SUIT with Some Inter-
sstinE Developments.

LAWRENCE, Mass. March 11.-One of
the most interesting cases ever heard by
an Essex County civil court was tried in
this city Wednesday before Judge Bond.
The case is an action OF contract, where
by Miss Susan Mccarthy, of Haverhill,
claims damages to the extent of 50, OJ0
from Charles NJ. Coffin, a Hayerhill
jeweler, for breach of promise to marry
her
Plaintiff, who ia 5j years old alleges
that she has kept steady company with
defendant % years. During this time
defendant made several proposals of
marriage, and the final one was ac
cepted, but no marriage ever took place.
the parties finally quarreled and
parted. Defendant refused to live up to
his promise, and also refused to help
plaintiff in any way. The defense is
general denial.
Defendant Coffin admits living in the
same house with the plaintiff for years.
He testified that marriage was never con
sidered, and that he never proposed the
matter to Miss Mccarthy. However, he
had given her to understand that mar
riege would never take place. had lived
unlawfuliy with plaintiff for years as
man and mistress and given her presents
of money and jewelry.
The case occupied the entire session.
AT Adjournment, arguments Tor the
plaintiff were being made. several SEN
sational scenes were enacted during the
trial Miss Mccarthy fainting several
times on the stand and while defendant
was referring to their unlswful in
timacy.
Miss Mccarthy never was married but
has however, a pretty daughter "a years
of age, who was one of the plaintiffs
principal witnesses. The court room was
crowded throughout the day, and even
ladies were in attendance.

COURT ECHOES.
How Some Shenandoah People
Fared.

Fared.
Shenandoah furnished several cases for
trisl at the cri inal court in Pottsville thi
week aud most of them Jared badly
Mary Drumh Her was one of them
l. will be remem bered that she while em.
poyed in he house of the Po ell family
IN West Cherry street, stole $l20 and then
bound and g.gsed herself to give e 'lor o'
plsusibilty to her story that the theft had
bcen committed by midnight robbers
Mary also put the police to considerable
unnecessary bother in tracing her stor,
and arrestlng yolnR man of PUttsv'ile
who, she said, WAS the one who stole the
money and gagged and b und her after
committing an outrage. The young mW
cleared himself of the accusation and wa,
honorahly discharged. Mary appeared n
court on Wednesday She pleaded quilts
and an appeal for mercy WAS m do by bei
counsel TIE court sentenced her to
three months imprisonment and pay the
costs and IS fine.
Sam Block, the South Main street
merchant, is disgusted with the present
jury system. He agrees with Max Gold
man in the declaration that a jew car
secure no justice in Pottsville and that they
can never win case tried before an Irlsb
ury. 1t seems that woman bought some
feathers in his place and charged tha'
Block stole them from her.
Block says the woman selected three
pounds of feathers worth 80 ce u.s. but
when she was about to leave the store he
found she had three pounds of feathers
that were worth As cents. He kept the
feathers and offered to return the money.
This the woman refused and she had Book
arrested for larceny. b ck's defense WIS
that the woman had changed tho feathers
when he was engaged with other customers.
But the jury did not be ieve him and he
WAS foubd guilty, Sentence was suspended
upon payment of costs and the restoration
of the feathers the woman claimed. The
costs and the attorneys fees amounted g.
S75, so if the feathers we're worth on the
market what they cost Block they wou d
make an excellent bed Tor the Goulds or
Vsnderbits-$25 pound.
George Cox was another OF the unfor
tunates at Pottsville this week, but be was
not one of the accused He caused d
Hungarian named Masko Kuls to be put
on trial on charge of assault and battery
with intent to kill Cox charged that when
he, as special officer, attempted to arrest
Kulis, the latter resisted and drew back hi,
rght arm in manner that led COX tt
believe he was about to do some stabbing
Kuis was found not guilty, bu. sentenced
to pay one-third the costs, The two-th;rd,
were put on Cox.
