The Bellefonte Gazette last week
says: Mrs. NJ. L. Kreeger of Mil
lersburg is spending a week with
friends in Bellefonte She is a dear
friend Of Mrs. T. H. Harter and her
presence in the editors home brings
back memories pleasant as the echo
of the good old songs that never
die" Mr.. Kreeger, who used to be
the EDITORS companion in field
sports, is now enjoying himself at
hunting quail in Georgia and writes
that game is abundant and the
weather like May in Pennsylvania.
Hence our heart is way down in
Georgia. d. John NJ. Steininger, of
Middleburg, spent Sunday in Belle
fonte as the guest Of the editor of
the Gaz4tts. He was the writer's
right hand man for twelve years as
foreman Of the Middleburg Posr.
and was always true to his trust as
the needle to the pole.

l am not defending Quay's polit-

Cure for DIphtheria.

The following simple cure for diph.
iberia or sore throat is given to the
public by well known lady of Har
risbnrg: She says it has cured all
cases where tried, and being within
the reach of every one, will doubt
less save much suffering and many
lives. A teaspoonful OF tar is mixed
with tablespoonful of turpentine.
Both are heated and the patient in
hales the fumes. This usually causes
the sufferer to vomt and after hav.
ing taken sleep of several hours,
the soreness soon disappears. 1t is
said to be an unfailing cure for

it can be administrated by any one.
The lady is we'll known and vouches
for the cure of all cases if taken be

BORDER RAID.
CONGRESSMAN MAHON'S EFFORTS
TO BRING THE BILL THROUGH
me committee FavOrs II. Speaker Reed
Will be Asked TO Assist In III. Pas.
s"gs. Our Great War Loss.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 25.-Represen-
tatlve Thaddeus NJ. Mahon, OF Penn
sylvania, chairman of the Commit.
tee on War Claims, at the last ses.
sion obtained unanimous consent to
report bill providing for the ad-
Iudlcation aud payment Of damages
sustained by citizens of the United
States in tho border coupties of
York, Adams, Cumberland, Frank
lin, Fulton, Bedford, Somerset and
Ferry, IN the State of Pennsylvania,
from Union and Confederate troops
during the late war of the rebellion.
The bill simply proposes to refer
oil the claims to the Court OF Claims.
with authority to inquire into and
finally adjudicate all damages and
claims for property of citizens tax
on or destroyed by Confederate
troops in their several invasions in
to the above border counties in
Pennsylvania. As the bill does not
take money out of the Treasury, but
simply refers all the claims to a
tribunal created by Congress for
the adjudication OF all claims OF this
character, Representative Mshon
feels very confident that il he can
secure recognition from the Com
mittee on Rules day for the con-
sideration of the bill, it can be easily
passed, as it received the unanimous
support o; every member of the
committee, both Democrats and Re.
publicans.
Representative Mahon intends to
confer with the Speaker aad the
Rules Committee some day this
week with a view of securing a day
for its consideration.
At the last session General Mahon
talked the matter over with the
Speaker, and he advised him not to
press the matter then, but allow it
to go over to the present session.
These claims have been pending for
many years, and it is but fair and
Just, in the judgment Of the mem
bers OF the committee, that they
should be settled and disposed of at
as early day as possible.
The aggregate amount of the
claims of the several counties, as as.
certained by careful Investigation
and inquiry by commissions and
committees created by the Penn
sylvania Legislature in an act pass
cd in 1871, is $3, $50, 565.45.

Diphtheria is raging most alarm
ingly at Beavertown. Three or four
deaths are reported and quite
great many cases. We trust ere
this reaches our readers the scourge
will be checked. One case is report
ed from Paxtonville.
G. w. Long, attorney, got pen
sions for Geo. f. Crone, Samuel
Crawford, Trenton, Nathan Roush,
Chapman, John l.. Mark, Selins-
grove, Alex Wray, Amelia Bucher
Sunbury, Elizabeth Eister, Stone
ington.
Hoods Comedy Co. came down
from Beavertown on Tuesday to
give q show in Seebold's hall but
the Board of Health denied them
the privilege on account of mingling
in diphtheria districts at Beaver
town.
The question of better roads is to
be taken up again by the present
Legislature and it is to be hoped
that some arrangement can be ar
rived at by which the country roads
can be placed in better condition
than they are now. The difficulty
with the bills presented at the last
session was that they were nearly
all in the interest of large contrac-
tors, our own people deriving no
benefit from the work to be done
at all. There are S0,OCO miles dirt
road in the State which cost $4S.73
per mile annually to maintain. This
seems like o large amount and for it
we should have better roads. The
Legislature could do no better act
than pass some measure that will
bring US good roads, but let the
work upon them be done by our
home people.

THE CRATER OF RAINIER.

Experiences of Night on the Summit of
the Weird Mountain.
Throwing off the lifo line, which had
become almost an intolerable burden. l
scaled the pile of bare rocks and gained
the rim of the crater The great bowl
within was deeply filed with snow, but
the black circle forming its rim could
be distinctly traced. Descending the in
ner slope for about 100 feet, / found a
place where steam was issuing from a
crevioe in the rocks and warmed my
benumbed fingers. Soon my companions
Joined me, and we took refuge in one
Of the many caverns that the heat Of
the rocks and Of the escaping steam
had melted in the lower porto of the
snow and ice partially filling the crater.
In these weird caverns one may descend
far beyond the light of day. The white
vapors drifting silently through the
dimly lighted passages assume grotesque
shapes and suggest 10 the imaginative
visitor that spirits of the time when
Pluto's reign was supreme there make
their homes.
BY melting snow in our tin cups over
the cracks from which steam was issu-
ing we soon had water enough with
which to prepare tea. In the absence Of
sugar and cream little alcohol from
the supply brought for fuel was added
to each cup and proved welcome
stimulant. Making ourselves as COM
Portable as possible under the oircum-
stances, we passed the night in the cav
ern of ice. There were no lodges broad
enough to lie down on, and we were
forced to stand or crouch against the
hot rocks all night The floor of our
cavern sloped steeply and led down to
an ugly opening of unknown depth be-
tween the descending roof of ice and
the rocks. To guard against accidents,
the life line was stretched across the
cavern and made fast to crags. This
proved wise precaution, as we were
able during the night to walk up and
down with the rope in our hands and
avoid the stiffness and discomfort that
come from remaining long in one posi-
tion. Israel O. Russell in Scribner's
