Isaac Rushmore, who has just been
released from the Auburn State Prison,
where he had served a term for grand
larceny, celebrated his return to the
world in truly worldly way. He
had carriage waiting for him at the
prison gate and was driven at once to
n tailor, where he fitted himself out
with expensive clothing, and thence to
a jewelers. where he paid $400 for dia-
Inonds and a watch.
Then he proceeded to the leading
hotel of the city, registered and spent
the night in drinking and carousing.
Soon after sallying out the next morn
ing he fell in the street, besmearing
his fine black suit, iight-colored top
coat, silk hat, patent feathers and
gloves with Auburn mud. He was
taken to Jail, where he was fined So,
which he paid, and started on the next
train for New York.
Rushmore when quite young re-
ceived legacy of $4,000 and as he
began to spend it lavishly he was re-
strained from its use. Then he re-
sorted to stealing in order to crafty
his expensive tastes, and SO reached
State prison. 1t is the remainder of
his legacy that he has now started in
to spend.-New York Journal.

Snake and Lizard Match.

While in the country last Sunday
the editor of The Gazette saw black
snake try to capture lizard for its
dinner. The lizard had the best of
the snake in the contest, which took
place in cluster of saplings. The
lizard would run up sapling clear to
the top and patiently wait until the
snake would slowly wind its way about
half up the sapling, when the lizard
would jump from the top of the tree to
the ground, and the snake would fling
itself from the tree, both striking the
ground about the same time, but be-
fore the snake could get itself straight
ened out the lizard, which did not
have to uncoil, would scale up another
sapling, when the snake weuldarepeat
its effort to procure a dinner. The
snake, not being the ready climber the
lizard was, was at a great disadvantage
ip the contest, and after many efforts
apparently gave it up as fruitless

New Tunnel Completed.

The Improvement on the Pittsburg
Division of the Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad, % miles west of Cumberland
at Falls Cut, will be completed by De-
cember 1st and trains will be run
ming over it within ten days thereaf-
ter. Falls Cut is a cutting through a
spur OF the mountain and is about 60
feet in depth and has continually Civ
en- trouble by rock sliding down on the
track. 1t has had to be braced with
heavy timber every few feet for It's en-
time length. some 900 feet, and requir-
ing constant care and watchfulness,
was, therefore, very expensive to keep
up.
In order to eliminate this cut it was
necessary to build one mile of new
roadway which involved the construo-
tion of double track tunnel $50 feet
in length and three bridges
By this change the road was
Strengthened considerably taking out
some sharp curvature and introducing
curves of a longer radii. The improve
ment is on what is known as the east
ern slope of the Alleghenies and the
grade is about S4 feet to the mile. The
tunnel and bridges were constructed
with the view of double tracking the
entire Pittsburg Division sometime in
the future.

Take twenty pounds Of common salt
and ten pounds of sal ammoniac (ni-
trate of ammonia, to be had of any
druggist), and dissolve IN seven gal

The breaking of the bottle liberates
