NEW ORLEANS COMPREHENSIVE
City. AS the soil of New Orleans is not
of sufficient density to permit of digging
down into 1t there are no graves IN the
cemeteries, but the dead are all placed in
tombs above ground. Many of these are
beautiful and costly, but the most are
large vaults of masonry, consisting of
rows of cells, superimposed on each
other, generally to the height of seven or
eight feet. Each cell is just large enough
to admit of placing a coffin therein and
is Theoretically bricked up at its narrow
entrance as soon as the funeral service is
over.
INGERSOLL-J. ]. and Others, City.
In 1884, when the late Colonel Ingersoll
was in San Francisco, he delivered some
lectures These were replied to in pub
lie meeting by the reverend gentleman
named in the communications, and he
said: Before | conclude l here publicly
challenge Colonel IngerSoll to refute any
one statement made by me here this
evening, and If he cannot bring forward
any better or more convincing reason for
the non-exstence of God than a mere
idea, let him, in all decency. retire from
the profession of infidel teaching and
cease to mislead the unrefecting, the
shallow minded, the brainless." That
was the extent of the challenge Colonel
Ingersoll did not take any notice of 1t,
and there the matter ended.

picture very beautiful and the
ceremony, which was performed
by Elder G. l.. Funk, very impress
sive.
The presents were very nu'
merous and beautiful, consisting
of cut glass, silver, china and lin

OVERCOMING DIFFICULTIES.

One of our female reporters tells us
this little story about how her mother
and sister solved perplexing ques-
tion as to how to drive with one trace,
while going down the Cove the other
day. 1t seems that midway between
this place and their destination the
trace became loosened. To fasten it
seemed an easy matter, and both
aiighted for that purpose. One back
ed the horse, and the buggy backed
also, and the trace could not be at
tached; then the horse was pulled for
ward and the buggy persistently fol-
lowed and the trace was no nearer the
point of adjustment. After debating
the matter for time they concluded
that one should pull forward at the
buggy shaft while the other would pull
backward on the trace. This they did,
while the horse proceeded leisurely
along, all parties seemingly pleased
at this happy triumph over an embar-
RAISING situation. Finally u gentle
man came along and hooked the trace
without the slightest difficulty and then
their cup was full to overlooking.

MRS. AGNES NJ. SToUTEAGLE.

The subject of this notice, wife of
John V. Stouteagle, died at her home
in this place early Tuesday morning,
aged 36 years, months, and "A days.
She was the daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
Amos HiXon, of Brush Creek valley,
and was married to Mr.. Stouteagle
February 27, 1888. Besides her hus-
band she leaves to mourn her, four
children, Olive r., Marden s., Amos
H., and John f.. Her funeral took
place Wednesday afternoon and her
remains were placed in the family lot
in Big Cove cemetery.
While Mrs. Stouteagle was not a
very strong woman physically, her
death at this early age, was an un-
thought-of event, and produced quite Il
shock.
About five weeks ago, her son Amos
was attacked by typhoid malaria, and
the constant care of the mother over
her sick boy for three weeks caused
her to break dowu physically, and she
was compelled to take her bed The
most tender care of her husband and
family, coupled with the skill of one of
our best physicians, was not enough
to restore her, and she gradually grew
weaker until the end came.
AT the early age of twelve years, she
became member of the M. E. church,
and her sweet, pure, christian life show
ed, that at the time her name went on
the church books here, it was inscrib-
ed in the Lambs Book of Life above.
The sympathy of very large circle
of friends goes out to the grief stricken
husband and children: as well as to her
parents, brothers and sisters, all of
whom survive her except Fred well
known teacher, who died several years
ago.

THE AGE OE STEAM.

Mrs. Scott Ham, of Ayr township,
has come to realize that this is an age
of steam. Recently as she was driv-
ing along ON the hill, near Mrs. Dr..
Cook residence, her horse took fright
at traction engine that was APP
preaching, wheeled suddenly around
and broke the shafts of her buggy,
Her presence of mind prevented a more
serious accident. Then, last week she
visited her sister at Lehmaster's, and
from there took the train to Chambers
burg. This was her first trip by rail-
road and she derived much more en-
ioyment out of this experience than the
former one, although both of the agen-
cies were steam.

A careful mother will take great
pains to teach her children to. read

money are often expended in cultivat'

manner. No attempt need be made al
elocution as the word is ordinarily un'

emphasis so as TO convey easily 20 tho

turkeys not far from Mack's, and
quickly stole up to where he could get
a good shot, and blazed away. He
succeeded in killing one and crippling
two. TO the hunters surprise, the
turkeys did not fly, and he found that
he had made mistake, Il thing he no
doubt regretted very much, for the
flock proved to be Mack's. Conse-
quence: turkey on the bill of fare be-
fore Thanksgiving.

TT COSTS MONEY TO CUT TIM
BER.

A party of hunters out raccoon
hunting in Trough Creek valley few
nights since, says the Huntingdon
Semi We Weekly News, found that night 5
hunt rather expensive sport. Having
treed one of the ring-tailed animals,
they proceeded to build u fire under the
tree, and on the coming of daylight
cut down the tree to secure their game.
just about that time the owner of the
land put in an appearance, and few
days later warrants were served on all
the participants to appear before Es-
quire Kelly in this place to answer to
two separate charges, building a fire in
the woods and cutting timber without
leave. The case was aired on Friday,
with the result of each participant be-
ing mulcted in the sum of S7.SS. Some
of our farmers complain that there is
too much cutting of timber done on
their premises, not only by hunters,
but by others. The law is explicit in
the matter, and makes the penalty for
violations of this kind two and three
times the value of the timber.

COOPERATIVE FARMING.

We regret to learn that owing to the
act that David r. Fields, of Tod town

lgricultural pursuits, the cooperative
iystem of farming which has been car
led by that gentleman and Samuel

,ontinued. We have not the space in

bur leaders can gather from brief and
ragmentary colloquies between them,
lonething of its nature.
