A Wonderful Prescription.

John Sedler, an old German tailor.
who resided for many years in Reyn-
oldsville, came into the Spirit Office the
other day looking very much the worse
for wear. He said his wife had died
several years ago and he had recently
lost his property in Reynoldsvillc, and
was old and ON the rocks of poverty and
despair. He looked IT, Poor old John.
We knew him when he dressed like a
dandy. He made our first tailor.made
suit. John was on the ragged edge.
He said: Master Smeet, haf hare IA
perscreeption vat will cure de vors case
Of rheumatism in few minutes. sell it
all over deas country. The doctairs
know nottings abaut it. Dase vas got
ten fon Il great Catholic Bishop, who
got it fon Won ancient doctair, and some
reech man vot got bad rheumatism gif
a million dollars for heem. sell dees
to Won Baltimore man sax months ago
an he mack nine hundred dollars out OF
it. Won man gif heem two hundred
dollars to cure his rheumatism. 1t
cures daes Creep in few minutes. | gif
it 70 you, and gif it to no Won else.
Fon anybody got rheumatism or Creep
you tael heem you cure heem."
And Mr. Sedler wrote out the famous
prescription. We paid him for it, and
have the secret. OF course he has not
given it to anybody else in town. So
bring on your rheumatism, and II this
ancient and honorable prescription will
cure you, as Mr.. Sedler assures as it
will, in very short order, you shall be
cured. 1t is worth, according to Mr..
Sedler, a million dollars, but we are not
covetous, and don't care for little
thing like that.-Punxsutawney Spirit.

Wooden WeddlDq.

Last Thurday marked the fifth ami
versary Of the wedding day Of Mr.. and
Mrs. U. G. Scheafnocker, Of Fourth
street, and the occasion was celebrated
by an evening Of pleasure at their home
by a number Of invited friends. Those
invited did not forget that it was a
wooden" affair and they either carried
with them or had previously sent to the
house something in the line Of furni-
ture, such as handsome rocking chairs,
stands, brackets, etc. The guests en-
! ioyed themselves in various games un-
til about about o'clock when the
games were laid aside and an ''observa-
tion" table was introduced. The table
contained thirty different articles and
the time limited to fix these articles in
memory's gallery so that afterwards
they could be written on paper, was
sixty seconds. Four prizes, two for the
ladies and two for the gentlemen, were
to be given TO the lady and gentleman
whose lists contained the largest num-
Der OF articles on table, and the lady
and gentleman whose lists had the
smallest number Of articles Ten min
utes was allowed each person to write
their list. The judges were Rev. T..
Lewis Kelley, Mr.. and Mrs. a. NJ.
Woodward. After tho observation"
table had been disposed Of and before
the judges rendered decision, the host
and hostess invited their guests to as
semble around small tables where they
were served with a sumptuous repast.
After the inner man had been satisfied
the games were taken up again and it
was not until about the midnight hour
that the guests wished Mr.. and Mrs.
Scheafnocker many happy recurrence
of their wedding anniversary and de-
parted for their respective homes.
The amount of furniture Mr.. and Mrs.
Scheafnocker received was six elegant
rocking chairs. four nice stands, a hall
mirror and one high-chair. There
were other very pretty presents.

Gentleman Of Town Council.

We call the attention of our worthy
town council to the fact that the new
Welsbach street lights can be kept up
at the small expense Of % cents per
month, and that heretofore the streets
of Reynoldsville have been very poorly
lighted. What think you, gentlemen,
about having number of these lights
put up on street corners and thus en-
tighten the people on their way who
tread our streets at night? OF course
we only mention this as a pointer for
you to erect monuments that every
night will proclaim your up-to-date,
enterprising spirit to the inhabitants Of
this borough and the strangers that
visit the town.
