A SINGULAR FREAK.

Miss Isabella Proof, of Ledgeville.
aged nine, has recently developed
mysterious method of penetrating fu-
tarity, into which she peers with u
remarkable degree OF certainty, fore
telling events minutely and locating
the time Of occurrence with astonish-
ing correctness. A singular freak con-
nected with the childs prognostica-
tions is that she will not mention what
foreshadows calamity, but upon all
events that are productive of good
she will speak freely. Recently Mrs.
Smith asked the little oracle when she
would hear from her husband, who is
in California. To-day at noon," was
the reply, and the letter will contain
a postoffice order for $l2." At noon the
postmaster handed Mrs. Smith the
promised letter, with the order for $l2.

Susquehanna, Oct. %.

Upon the woodland and the plane
The ghost of summer rests her feet.

Where fiickering sunbeams dance

Is but the calm that comes with death.

Philadelphia Record: Among the odd
trade advertisements displayed at the re-

candle stood 127 feet high. The lower part,
which was Intended to represent an old
Swedish candlestick. was in reality an
enormous structure of bricks and mortar,
In which WAS established a perfectly
%equipped candle factory, where employees
worked six hours q day.
The base of the candlestick covered a
space forty feet square. To come TO de-
tails, the candlestlek itself was forty
seven feet high, while the Candida real
stearine sEecinsen-was fully eighty feet;
Its diameter was eight and u half feet.
The appearance of this extraordinary trade
trophy was at once remarkable and Inn
posing. The colossal candleatick was
painted with an aluminium powder until it
shone like well polished silver. AT night,
too, an electric searchlight Of 1000 Iordi-
nary? candle power cast its beams from
the lofty sulnmit of the wick over the
whole exhibition grounds. Altogether the
cost of the monster was about SIC, 900.
