Anthony Flynn, of Smiths Mills,
Clearfeld county, was in Williams
sport recently, and brought with him
an interesting relic of aboriginal days
which is now on exhibition at Geo.
w, Harder's gun store, on Pine St.,
says the Gazette. This consists of
an Indian scaIping knife, imbedded
in piece of the trunk of pine tree.
The handle of the knife had long
since disappeared and the eight inch
blade was rusty with age. The
tree from which this knife was taken
was cut OH the head waters of Clear
field creek, in Cambria county. The
blade was imbedded twenty feet
from the ground, and as the tree
counted one hundred and seventy
five rings from the point of the
knife to its hilt it would indicate
that the blade had been in that
position for almost two centuries.
The stamp on the side Of the knife
consists of the representation of a
crown and bottel, and 1t was no
doubt imported from England in the
early days of the colonies and was
probably traded to the redskins. 1t
is wonderful curiosity, and will
attract the closest attention of all
interested in relies of the past.

Paul Bryan, negro boy, IA years
old, is a wonderful phenomenan,
says a Middlesboro, KY, special.
He is entirely unlettered and neither
his father nor mother can read.
None of them have heard of Milton,
Shakespeare, or Young, and yet this
boy can repeat from each OF these
authors. He can repeat nearly all
of Hamlet's soliloquy, knows those
passages from Millions "paradise
Lost" which so sublimely described
Satan, and nearly all of Young s
might Thoughts" In addition to
this he can quote passage after pas
sage OF Scripture. The medical
men account for it on the ground
that when the lad was small boy
his mother cooked for the family OF
a noted clergyman in Alabama, and
tho boy was allowed to play about
the study of tie preacher, with the
white hildren.-Philadelphia Rec.

"OUR MARYANN."

Senator Butler has won another
feather in his cap. His bill to prevent
a further issue of bonds without the
consent of and by the direction of Con
grese, passed the Senate last Tuesday
by a vote of 80 to 25.
In view of the fact that bills of this
kind had been introduced before, and
powerful Efforts made to get them
passed, Oar Maryann," as the Demo
Gratis used to term him, deserves all
the more credit. He found a way to
get the bill through, and it went. 1t is
probably the most important bill that
has passed during the present session.
Ii takes much power out of the hands
Of our duck hunting looter of the
