Talk of your old-fashioned winter: Old fines are nowhere. Old folks can no longer brag over the superiority of the past. Winter keeps a steady rein. keep ing the thermometers so depressed that it seems as If they never could recover their elasticity. Everybody seems to en- joy it, though; and after all, as winter is the season for cold winter, why not let it come.
 There is a prospect of our village le- ceiving quite an impetus to it's growth next season, if all the building now pro- iected are erected. We understand that Ir. Newton, the cashier of the bank, con- templates erecting a splendid residence on the site of his present one, and will remove the old one to another lot. He has one of the pleasantest locations in the village, if not the pleasantest, and a good house would appear we'll on it. It is also proposed to open new streets near the school-house, and put up some good houses there.

A Great Brandy Drinker.

"I have seen the statement that no man could drink half gallon of brandy a day for more than a very short time, said John l.. Smith of Linden, Va. "but there is man living in the town I reside in who has never missed drink. ing that much brandy in day for 20 years. His name is John Hudnall, and he owns a brandy distillery near Linde. He has used liquor as beverage since early youth, and for the past 20 years has consumed half gallon of brandy a day. He is not an inebriate by any means, not becoming intoxicated by the brandy. He is hale and hearty and stands we'll in the community where he lives as business man. No explanation can be given of his remarkable power of withstanding the effects of liquor, but no one who knows him doubts the statement as to his having taken the amount have said. It has not impaired his digestion in the slightest degree, as it is usually claimed it will do. "- Washington Star,

An Actor of Shakespeare's Day.

He had trim, straight legs, this stran- ger, and slender, 1.-the body in tawny silken jerkin. Square shouldered, too, was he, and over one shoulder hung a plum colored cloak bordered with gold braid. His long hose were the color of his cloak, and his shoes were russet leather, with rosettes of plum and such high heels as Nick had never seen be- fore. His bonnet was of tawny velvet, with chain twisted round it, fastened by jeweled brooch through which was thrust a curly cock feather. A fine white Holland linen shirt peeped through his ierkin at the throat, with a broad lace collar. and his short hair curled crisply all over his head. He had little point ed beard. and the ends of his mustache were twisted so that they stood up fiercely on either side of his sharp nose. At his side was a long Italian poniard, in sheath of russet leather and silver filigree, and he had reckless, high and mighty fling about his stride that strangely took the eye.

not take much Of an arithmetician to
figure out from these two stolen sums
just how much IL would have been
necessary for the PennsY lvania banker
to steal in order to have escaped scot

failed An examination OF the banks
affairs disclosed the fact that there
was 100000 owing TO depositors and
about 5000 on hand to pay them. He
was arrested. and after two years Of
litigation, sent to the penitentiary for
two years.
The friends OF this particular banker
claim that the sentence is a severe one
because he is 76 years Of age BEING 70
years Of age the man was old enough
TO know better than tc steal $500, 900
He should have organized trust and
stolen millions annually, and returned
few thousand in the shape OF checks
to religious institutions or charities
Then, instead Of being sent TO the peni-
tcntiary, he would have been hailed as
philanthropist and his portrait
printed in the papers Or he might
have gone into politics, debauched the
ballot box, and been appointed to the
United States senate and hailed by his
political party as wise man and safe
counselor. There are great many
things this Pennsylvania banker might
have done TO secure wealth and fame,
without having been forced to spend
