PROF. FARADAy has expressed the

devour, and that it can easily develop

have for candy.
SILVER or steel thimbles are the only

New Use for ORANGES.

The housewives in Florida have
found new ush for oranges. They
scrub the floor with them. Go into al
most any town in the orange-growinc
districts and you will see the women
using the luscious fruit exactly as our
housekeepers use soap. They cut the
oranges in halves and rub the fat, ex-
posed pulp on the floor. The acid in
the oranges doubtless does the clean
ing, but at any rate the boards are as
white as snow after the application.
1t is thought that lemons would be-
better than oranges for this purpose,
because of the additional acidity.

The Souvenir Pin Craze.

The spoon craze has well-nigh run
its course. Women who have 100 or
200 spoons of different shapes, sizes
and designs have turned their backs
on the fad, and now it languishes. But
new one is springing up in it's place,
as silly fad as ever tempted the soul
OF woman to extravaganza. It is the
collection of hat pins. Many of these
pins would serve for daggers, it's true;
but the usefulness of the dagger, is
after all, circumscribed. It would per-
haps be just as well If the hat pin craze
were punctured with one of it's own
weapons.-N. Y. Times,

Your Doings, What Your Neighbors Have
Done or Said Told in Brief
Form.
Scared BY q Ghost.

Reports are abroad of tall woman
ghost at Barnesville and concerning it
the Republican has the following:
If the "tall woman" has done nothing
else she has caused the development of
considerable speed i'll young gIasswork-
er not hitherto famous for his sprinting
qualities. He was on his way to the
factory at the midnight hour, and when
near the school house encountered her
royal highness in her most weird and
diabolical form. The young man stood
not on the order of going, but went. 1t
is said he ran to the factory under such
a heavy pressure of steam that the wind
almost shaved off the auburn locks above
his ears. This particular ghost has since
been laid" and was found to be mis-
chievious young man who was employed
to fire the heating apparatus in the school
building during the recent cold nights.
On the above occasion he elevated his
overcoat on a broom and when the glass
worker got close enough suddenly made
his appearance and exclaimed: Il am the
devil" The effect was electrical.

Came to Grief.

Last Thursday man driving four
horse team to carriage stopped at the
Clarendon with his wife and two boys
and registered as L. G. Perry and family.
He stayed until Monday morning in the
meantime driving his team through town
aud attempting to sell O'Keefe's pills.
On Monday morning Mr. Clark the pro-
prietor, mentioned the matter of his bill
to him which was not forthcoming, al
though the man claimed to have money
in Wheeling. The matter rested until
evening when MOundsville hveryman
turned up and claimed the team. Mr.
Clark then had Perry arrested on the
charge of attempting to defraud the
hotel out of his board bill. Perry was
unable to pay or give bond and was
remanded to Jail where he remained until
Wednesday when he had hearing, which
was not concluded at the time of going
to press.

Review of Reviews.

The monthly survey of foreign affairs
in the February Review of Reviews will
be found exceedingly interesting, and
the portrait illustrations of this number
are in keeping with the general timeli-
ness and variety of the pictures which
add so much to the acceptibility of the
Review of Reviews. The great timeli-
ness of the magazine is shown at NUNS
Der of points from beginning to end.
Thus in the article on American million
aires and their public gifts one finds
mention of benefactions which were not
publicly known until about January 20,
and the fact that large and fine portrait
of ex-President r. b. Hayes, is sufficient
indication of the close record the Review
keeps of current events and the marvel
Gus quickness with which its enormous
edition is printed and distributed
throughout the whole continent of North
America

A. the Metbodist ,burcb.

During last week and this week an in
teresting revival meeting has been held in
the Methodist church in this place. Each
nights service sees an increased atten-
dance, and more marked manifestation
of the genuine revival spirit. Thus far
twenty nine souls have sought the source
of eternal life. On Tuesday night DIR.
Webb preached a vigorous sermon from
the words, lone thing thou lackest," and
as result of his earnest words and the
fervent prayers twelve persons came to
the front to show their desire to turn
from their sin.
All members of the church should
make every effort to attend these meet
ings, and to help on the work so auspi-
ciously begun The opportunity seems,
at hand when a combined work will
awaken a decided revival. Let everyone
do his best to bring it about.

Concerning Stray Animals.

The law concerning stray animals is
not as well known as it should be says
an exchange. If you take up stray an
imal you must, within ten days, give
notice to your township clerk who must
make an entry of the same; then you ad
vertise the animal in your local paper,
and sixty days after such advertisement
has appeared, you apply to the Justice of
the Peace to sell the animal. He issues
a warrant to the constable. who gives ten
days notice by posters, and then he sells
it, and you get your pay for expenses.
The penalty for taking stray animal
and not giving notice is $500, and besides
this the owner can come upon your place
and take it away without paying you
anything.

FOR DIVORCE.
l Peculiar Petition Filed in the
Clerks Office.
Levisa Crozier Wants Divorce and Alimony
Though No Marriage Ceremony
Was Performed.

A suit involving remarkably rare cir
cumstances has been begun in Common
Pleas Court, wherein LeviSa CrOZier
brings an action for divorce from VIM.
X Crozier The unusual feature of the
case lies in the fact that the petitioner re-
cites that they were not married by any
regularly constituted officer or minister,
but between themselves agreed to live
together as man and wife, and this they
have done. On the legality of the mar
riage depends the action for divorce, but
in different States the courts have held
that such marriages are legal. This is
said to be the first case of the kind ever
occurring in this county.
AS detailed in the petition the follow
ing are the facts in regard to their mar
riage: On August "a, 1865. the parties to
this action started from Bellaire to go to
West Alexander, Penn, to be married.
They went as far as Bridgeport, and find
ing that they could not reach West Alex
ander until late, the defendant, VIM. h.
Crozier, said to the petitioner, ut is get
ting late, and we had better go back
home" To which she replied that she
did not like to go home since she had
told her mother and family that they
were going away to get married. But
they returned to Bellaire. After they
came back and had had given up their
carriage and were walking to the nome
of the petitioner the defendant said:
We have been going together
for long time; wt know and love each
other, and we will just marry ourselves"
Petitioner asked him what they would
would do without certificate? to which
he replied, There are thousands that do
not have any certificate, and if you will
honor and obey me and be true to me,
will now take you to be my lawful wife"
And the petitioner replied: Honor and
be true to me, and will take you to be
my lawful husband" They then Joined
hands as married husband and wife; and
he said, "our marriage is now registered
in heaven" They then went home and
that they were married. To
them FIVE children were born. The ac
ton is brought ON the ground of adul
terry, and reasonable alimony is asked.

In November, Rebecca s. Fravel and
Josiah c. Merritt, of the Plainfield Soci-
ETY. of Friends. made known to the
Monthly meeting their intention of being

pointed to examine into the matter, and
no objection being found to the proposed
union being formed, overseers were ap
pointed and the wedding day set for
Wednesday, January 25th. On that day
the meeting house at Plainfeld was
crowded with some five hundred persons
drawn there to see the ceremony. Isaac
Haines called the meeting to silence.
The bride was attended by Miss Mira
Fravel and Mrs. Abner Lodge; the groom
by Abner Lodge and Owen Fravel. Re
becca Pickering and the prospective bride
made brief remarks. the contracting par
ties, with their attendants, rose, and Jo-
siah Merritt addressing the bride, said,
'In the presence of the Lord and before
this assembly, | take thee, my friend,
Rebecca s. Fravel, to be my wife, prom
Using, with the Divine assistance, to be
unto her faithful and loving husband
until death separates u.s." The bride
made suitable response in similar
words. and Mira Fravel read the certifi-
cate of marriage issued by the Monthly
Meeting and signed by thirtyfive wit
nesses.

to the residence of Isaac Haines, where a
bountiful feast was served to large
number of guests.
