Novel Picture Frames.
? New York Herald.

From the New York Herald.
Picture dealers have betaken themselves
to architectural efforts in their search for
novelties for framing. Very quaint and
attractive little frames they are, too, with
their Doric, Ionic or Corinthian columns
surmounted by the appropriate architec-
ture, looking like a miniature fireplace
and mantlepiece.
The dealers in Boston, true to the spirit
of erudition which prevails there, have
adapted the Egyptian arch to their uses.
and the small columns are covered with
cuneform hieroglyphics. These make very
charming frames in dark wood for the
Photographic reproductions of the decor
ations in the Boston library, which are so
popular now. A series of these pictures
framed in a series of arches makes a
pretty panel.

AMUSEM ENTS,
DR.. StOddart To-Nipht.

Dr. Stoddart will lecture this even
ing in the Margaret theater. OF his
lecture, the Transvaal Mail of johann
nesburg, South Africa, says:
"On Sunday night last DR.. Stoddart
delivered his splendidly illustrated lee
ture, Round the World in Search of
Gold About 5000 people crowded into
the Amphitheater, and We're for nearly
two hours delighted with the doctors
eloquence The views were superb, the
whole being instructive, amusing and
entertaining. Dr. Stoddart is certainly
the most forcibe and commanding
speaker who has ever visited South
Africa. Some of his sentences We're
passages of force. He held his audi
ence spellbound while relating to them
all about gold and the gold fields of
Coolgardie and the Klondike: how and
where to go In Search of Cold (out-
side of South Africa, of course). He
also gave valuable advice about travel,
the proper routes, the shortest and
cheapest, and the best railway and
steamer lines: how he travelled and
by what companies; also all about
the different gold fields of the world"

r. F. Outcault. the well-known artist
of the New York Journal, and to which
the famous author, e. w. Townsend,

logue, even more humorous than he
gave to his "Chimmie Fadden." The
comedy situations of the play, the
breastworks of farce comedy, are from
the pen of Glen McDonough, author of
THE Prodigal Father" and other sue
cesses. Neither time, effort or expense
have been spared in equipping the
comedy and to it's furtherance a cast
been selected in every way able to con-
tribute the different lines of specialties
which add to the action of the enter
tainment.
Among the many novelties to be seen
in the performance are the Speck broth
ers in a very funny boxing contest; the
Moss family of five persons in musical
eocentrics. the little German band and
several others. Among the speciality
performers are Harry Crandall, Joe ].

CHANGE IN A ROAD.
A Movement to Improve the Condition OF
the BrandonvilIe road.

! NJ. NJ. Burke, Esq, of town, has been re-
tanned by number Of farmers In the Union
townships and also number Of citizens Of
this town to secure change in portion of
the road leading from Shenandoah to Bran
donville The papers are now in the hands Of
| Liveryman O'Hara, who is taking an active
interest in the matter Mr.. Burke will on
| september 4th, ask court to appoint viewers
| To view and lay out the proposed change of
/ route, The reason assigned is the excessive
| grade in the road on the Brandonville NOUN
| tain. Should the road be changed 1t will
then continue westward from Reichert's
hotel. at BBndonvile, with gradual slope
along the mountain side for about three
quarters Of mile and thence south ward over
| the mountain, past the dams of the Citizens
Water Company, to a point in the present
road near the Kelley Run colliery.
The Brandonvlle hill is unquestionably
one of the most dangerous pieces of road way
in this part Of the state, and it is hoped that
the parties having the proposed change in
hand will succeed. The new road will in no
particular exceed three degrees in elevation.
The petition follows
The petition Of the undersigned inhabitants
Of the Townships of East Union Union and
West MahanOy, respectfully represents That
public road or highway was long since laid
out and opened leading from Shenandoah and
through said townships to Brandonville, said
county, and usually known as the Brandon
vile road.
That part of said road, running through
said townships beginning at point at the
Kelley Run colliery of the Thomas Coal
Company and ending at the intersection of
the Catawissa Railroad and the public road
at BrandOnville, said county, has become in.
convenient and burdensome because of the
excessive grade on the BrandOnville noun
tain; and the said road would be very much
improved by a change of its route between
said points.
Your petitioners therefore pray the
Honorable Court to appoint qualified persons
to view said premises and inquire in the
expediency of making said change and other
wise proceed as directed by the Act of
Assembly in such case made and provided;
and they will ever pray etc"
