THIS CHILD A HEROINE

INSTEAD OF SCREAMING WHEN
SHE FOUND HER CLOTHING ON
FIRE, PUT IT OUT.
Chester, Dec. 13.-The rare presence
of mind displayed by 6-year-old Velva
Nilbourn Sunday night has made her a
heroine Left alone with her 13-year-
old brother. Velva went to the bath
room and struck a match to light the
gas. The burning head Of the match
fell on her apron, and soon it was blaz-
ing. Instead of screaming, Velva turn
ed on the water and put out the fire.
Then removing the apron and dress,
which were badly burned, the girl dis
covered that her underskirt was burn
ing. Going to her bed room Velva dis
robed and stamped out the blaze.
The stamping of her feet attracted
the attention of her brother, who, go
ing to the bath room, found the car
pet and some clothing burning. These
he extinguished, and then went in
search of Velva, who was calmly don
ming other clothes.

nYsrERs ARE scARCE.

Elkton, Nd, Dec. 13.-The unusual
heavy demand for oysters for the ap-
preaching Christmas holidays is reveal
ing a sad state of affairs, and one much
to be deplored by those who are en-
gagged in that branch of industry on the
Eastern Shore of Maryland. The re-
ports coming in from the local tOngers
are very discouraging, and show that
not only are they unable to meet the
demand for packing houses, but that
their labor is far less remunerative
than in preceding seasons, due directly
to the rapid depletion Of the Miles
river oyster beds.

TROUBLEs OF A POSTMASTER.

West Chester. Dec. 13.-Postmaster
Smedley, who has recently been com,
missioned to take charge of the office
at Cloud. in East Goshen, has learned
already that official life is not bed of
roses. AS this Office is q special one,
the postmaster must furnish his own
carrier. The income of the Office is
less than $50 per annum, it is said, and
the carrier, according to the law. can
not receive more than two-thirds of the
income. Hence the compensation for
carrying the mail from West Chester
distance of four miles, would be only
about $40 q year.
