To Die and Live Again.

Prof. Andrew j. Seymour, of Rock
ford, ILL.,, mind reader, has begun
preparations for feat he proposes
to accomplish next summer. He
will, on June l, he says, throw him
self into a state of insensibility and
will be buried. The grave is to be
watched by a committee day and
night, while n crop of barley is
sowed, ripened and harvested over
it. Mr.. Seymore will then be disin.
tered and will return to life. His
feat, it is claimed, has been perform.
ed by the fakirs of India under con.
ditions that prevented imposition.
and Mr.. Seymore says he has such
control over his mind and nervous
system that he is confident he can
perform the act.
The fool killer has evidently moi
been in that section lately.

Death loves shining mark" Or
Thursday evening at about 6 o clock
the angel of death visited the HON,
OF David A. and Laura Mattern-
where all their children, four in
number, lay sick with scarlet fever
and laid his cold hand on dear little
Katie and bade her spirit to follow
him. Little Katie was one of those
rare children who was older in wis
dom than in years. She was less
than four years old, but was reg.
ular attendant Mt Sunday school and
seldom mis- sed it when well. Katie
suffered much during her sickness,
but, as we all must believe, is richly
rewarded. She is now in the pro-
cession that promenades the golden
streets OF the new Jerusalem, wear
ing golden crown and carrying n
harp in her hand praising her
Heavenly Father in perfection. She
was buried on Saturday. The wealth.
er was very unpleasant, but notwith
standing that fact n large number
of people gathered at the church to
pay their last respects to dear little
Katie, who was loved 10y all who
knew her. The funeral services
were conducted by Rev. A. X. Zim-
norman, who selected the latter
clause of the 3Oth verse of tho 37th
chapter of Genesis, viz "This child
is not and /, wither shall / go ?"
from which the Reverend preached
an excellent sermon. The child was
aged 3years, 8 months and 90 days.
Peace to her ashes, and the sym
pathy of the community to the pa
rents and friends.

Committed Suicide.

Christian Slime, of Centreville
committed suicide on Friday of last
week by hanging. The circum.
stances connected with the sad affair
are rs follows:
MIR. Stine, who was most respect
able citizen, showed signs of mental
arrangement late last fall, which
gradually grew more pronounced un-
til the family became alarmed and
kept Il strict watch over him. Not
witbstanding the care they exercised
over him, he slipped away from his
sister Rachael about two weeks ago
and fled to the mountains, and, al
though he was pursued by search
ing party of thirty men, he evaded
them for seven hours and when
found was nearly frozen to death.
He then begged to be removed to n
room upstairs to escape the noise
rs he claimed. His request was
granted by the family, and all went
well until Friday night when he
was called to supper, and, failing to
get response, they searched the
garret whore they found him sitting
on his knees with II rope around his
neck which was fastened to the
rafters above. He was promptly cut
down by his son Alvin, but life was
extinct.
MIR. Stine was diligent, hard
working man, kind father and low
ing husband. He was aged about
60 years. The funeral takes place to-
day and his remains will be laid to
rest in the Centrevilie Lutheran and
Reformed cemetery.

The newly welded couple board
ed the train at village station, and
II crowd of about hundred people

strapplng young fellow with sun
burned face and hands. and Dear s
grease on his hair, while his bride
might have been the ''hired cal" ON
the same farm. They had no soon
er taken seat than he put his arm
around her and began TO caress one
of her hands. \ voice i'm rear of
them cried out Spoons !" but the
bridegroom gave no sign. Pretty
soon lie pulled her head over on his
shoulder, and there was Il litter
from the rear of the car. The head
stayed right there, and Josh got
both her hands in his one paw. Three
or four voices cried out "Oh - and
"Ah : but it was fully two minutes
before he tenderly pushed her away
and rose up and looked around and
said: I'VE are married. 1t wuZ "A

DIED.-In Middleburgh, ON Feb
ruary 10, of consumption, Harry
Boyer, aged about 30 years. He was
buried to-day and his remains
were laid to rest at the old Hassing-
er church.
Yesterday, was Washington's
Birthday and the Bank and public
schools were closed. On Tuesday
night the "boys' celebrated the
event byringing bells, blowing horns
and firing anyils. The L. O. 5. of A..
parade did not take place owing to
the inclement weather.
A bill has been introduced Mt I[ar-
risburg, abolishing spring elections,
providing for theholding ofmunicipal
and state elections Mt the same time,
and so changing the term of State
and other official as to make it nee
essary to hold an election but once
in two years. There are very many
arguments in favor of this. We are
obliged to devote entirely too much
time to elections, and their con-
slant recurrence twice year tends
moro than anything else TO keep the
political machines in constant and
pernicious activity. If two entire
years elapsed between the elections.
1t would cut off Just three fourths of
the present number, and there
wouldn't be, rs thereis ut present,
n lot of candidates constantly in the
field and new distribution of spoils
always in sight.
On Saturday evening, some of the
members of Capt. Ryan Post G.. A.
II. of Middleburgh and their wives
gave their esteemed friend and com
rade, Reed Jones, of Franklin, n
pleasant surprise party-it being his
5lst birthday. There were also
present, Morgan Comfort ca brother
of Mrs. Jones) and family, of Lewis
town, and David Comfort (another
brother) and five ladies, of Lewis
town, cousins of Mrs. Jones. The
visitors found Mr.. Jones in his ''rail-
road uniform" and entirely ignorant
of the proc eedings which had been
planned d and put into exc
cution by his good wife, but the
callers received a hearty welcome.
and, as may be supposed, for several
hours following the iolliest kind of n
time was had. An elegant supper
had been prepared by Mrs. Jones,
which was immensely enjoyed by the
thirty guests present. The evening
was most pleasantly spent and the
guests retired at late hour wishing
that MIR. Jones might live to see
many similar pleasant anniversaries.
