All old tine weather signs point TO al
uncon. monty severe winter. English spar
rows are growing feathers on their legs,
cornhusks are thicker than usual, young
lambs are growing wool that seems mar
velous squirrels are unusually busy, 'eoons
sni 'possums have heavy growth Of fur
coming on, insects hGve left the north sit
Of the trees in the woods, and beavers are
laying in an e. ira large supply OF winter
food a month earlier than usual. These
are the signs which the country prophets
are practically unanimous IN announcing
as their prediction for the coming winter
II don't cost the reader anything to believe
it. but snow. shovels cost from so cents up.
Late last atu,day night, man and
woman were noticed going down Main 81.
When III ey were in front of Campbelfz
store, the woman struck the man over the
head with lock which she vas carrying.
He fell TO the sidewalk and the knob OF the
lock flew off and broke window and
knocked down two bird cages. Some p-o-
pie came up. The wumsu said the man
was her husband, that be was drunk, snd
that she was try ing To get him home The
man said th4t ne vas not drunk, and asked
the policeman to arrest them both. The
man was afraid to 70 home with her, and
the matter was settled TOR that night, by
the man sleeping in livery stable, and
the woman going home, II was case of
violent jealousy on the woman's part.

Twenty years ago We played foot bali
with a rubber bail, ard it was only kick
no grabbing the ball and rushing off TO
make what you call touch down. The
fellow who got the ball in his hands used To-
kick it at once, and he never thoaght OF
running with it. If the other side could
knock it out Of his hands before he make
his kick, it was all right 1t went in the
game. The only thing about IL that was
at all rough was the kicking Sometimes
two fellows would kick al tha bali ct the
same time from opposite sides. One might
miss the ball aud sink the point OF his
heavy boot into tne others fellows leg
but there was no anger shown. Ii wa
always accidental, Of coarse. There was
no sugging, no tackling and falling down
on men to break their ribs or collar bones,
and no men carried of the field on d
streteher. When one side kicked the bal
across the goal line tnat counted one point
nd the ball was at once taken back to the
field and kicked off by the side that scored
the point.
Surveys for new railroads are numer
Gus in the region TO the East Of Us and
engineer curps are running lices in various
places. The Kittaning Times says that
from a gentlemen who recently spent
couple OF days at Punxsutawrey, which
seems to be the seat Of operations, they
learn that the Buffalo. Rochester d Pitts
burg railroad have four eorps OF railroad
engineers engaged for six months, who
nave orders 10 make complete and accurate
surveys Of routes from Palxs0gawney. to
Butler, hy way Of Mahoniag creek to the
Allegheny river, on the east side, and from
a point opposite the mouth of Mahoniog
creek, on the west side, to Sugar creek, al
on the Pit sburg & Western road, near
Butler. Another roate is from Punzsu-
tawney to the Allegheny river by way of
Pine creek, crossing the river at the mouth
of the creek, aud following the river to
Limestone, aud from th ere TO Butler. The
third route is down CcwaDshannock creek
to the Allegheny river, crossing the river
and down the west bank 10 Glade Run and
from thence to Butler The engineers
have explicit instructions to make careful
estimates as to toe tonnage to be derived
along each route
The Household HAT party is at it
again The f. II. party must be a woman.
Hear her latest. She says: That the clos-
cts and trunks in which clothing is to be
packed away should be thoroughly cleans
ed aud aired. That inpnttiDg away gowns
and coats the sleeves should be filed with
crushed tissue paper. Tnat alcoves and
recesses for beds are abominable. There
cannot be proper ventilation TO keep the
mattresses sweet. That ammonia used in
hair wash not only paIes the hair and dullS
the color, making it lustreiess, but also
renders it brittle and rougb. That for
slight cuts and abrasious Of the skin moth
ing is better than glyoerine, into which .
few drops of carbOlic acid have been pour
ed. That as far As possible sleeping rooms
should be selected that are daily purified
by the SUMS rays. Fresh air Is all right,
but it needs to be supplemented by sun
light. That while tea gown is a pretty
and appropriate co,tume 10 woar while re-
| ceiving afternoon callers in an informal
| fashion, the tea jacket for such purpose
is quite out of place Toat light undressed
kid gloves, il not too badly soled, may be
cleaned by preparing a generous quantity
of cracker cram5s, buttoniug the gloves
on the hands and rubbing thoroughly with
| the crumbs
