Struck by Lightning.

During the storm that visited this
place Saturday afternoon lightning
struck the residence of Joseph Hamblet,
on jackson street, and it is almost a
miracle that the electric bolt did not
carry death into HambletIs family.
Mrs. Hamblet was lying in the hammock
on the front porch and the two children
were sleeping on the floor in the paror
when the house was struck. The
children both received slight shock
from the electrical bolt that ran into
the room where they were sleeping

Conc 70 China.

Last Friday Wah Sing, the Chinaman
who has been in the laundry business
in this place about two years, went to
Pistsburg and from there he will start
in few days to China. Wah says his
mother died and left him some property
and he is going to his native land to
look after 1t. The Chinese do everything
backward Their surname comes first.
Wah Sings given name is Sing, so the
American way Of saying 1t would be
Sing Wah. Their compass points to
the south instead Of the north. The
men wear skirts and the women
trousers; the men wear their hair long,
the women coil theirs In knot. The
dressmakers are men: the women carry
burdens. White is used for mourning,
and the bridesmaids wear black. In
stead Of being maidens, these function
aries are old women. They shake their
own hands instead of the hand of the
one whom they would greet Dinners

A Nest of Gold.

Yesterday while George and John
Rudolph and William Pifer were engag-
ed in repairing the wall of a cave on
the farm of Thomas Pifer, of Winslow
township, they found five twenty-dollar
gold pieces. They were all clean and
bright. When Mr.. Pifer was informed
of the fact he explained how it happen
ed In 1887 he sold team of fine horses
receiving 1920 for it. Part of the
money, $3.50, was in gold, and the rest
in paper. He placed it all in a little
tin bucket and hid it in the cave. He
afterwards took the paper money out
and left the gold there. In 1889 the
cave burned down, and Mr.. Pifer had
forgotten all about his gold, and never
had thought OF it until yesterday when
the finding of the five twenties recalled
the circumstances to his mind. The
gold was found amongst the ashes and
debris Of the old cave, and thorough
search is being made for the other $50,
which is supposed to be there Also
