- Claims lie Ate Glass.

Townsend, Dec. 3.-Rev. William
T.. Dickson. Il weli-known minister
of Warrentown, two miles from this
place, visited Philadelphia friends
recently and while there ate rice,
which he alleges contained guam
tity of fine glass. After returning
home he was seized with violent
pains. A physician was hastily
summoned and for time his condi-
ton was critical, but he is now rap
idly recovering. The case has at
tracted much attention in the neigh
borhood in which he resides. Mr..
Dickson has been located at War
rentorn for the past two years.

WHAT HAPPENED TO JONES.

William Gillette has given ver-
satile and accomplished stage liar
in "Too Much Johnson" but for
cold blooded and artistic falsehood
the hero of that stirring farce is
not in it for a moment with the
drummer Jones in Broadhurst $
"What Happened to JONES' which
comes to the Opera House on Thurs
day night. One chapter from his
experience is equal to several vol
umes OF exciting adventure. and for
purposes of narration it would be
much easier to tell what didn't
happen tohim. Just about the time
that everyone begins to wonder how
the complications are going to be
out. the impudent fell
low executes a few moral convolu-
tions. and presto, he is forgiven.

Sale OF Lots.

The sale of the Delamore lots
which took place on Saturday last,
was attended by a large crowd.
The fact of the giving away Of pres
entS of silver ware to those attend
ing was the drawing card. The
women were in the majority and
several lots were purchased by
them. The sale was conducted by
two strangers, the auctioneering
beng done by a Mr. Reed, who
knocked down the lots in short Or
der to the numerous bidders. In
all some ten lots were sold for
prices ranging from $500 a foot on
du Pont and Chestnut streets, to
$3.50 on Clayton street. The sale
lasted for two hours and then the
large crowd were lined up on the
bank and those who did not have
tickets were given them. The
co@poas were taken up, the large
crawl passing along before the
auctionecr, who then placed them
in d large paste board box. With
the aid Of IA little girl the coupons
were drawn from the box one at
time, and the presents distributed
to those holding the lucky numbers.
Forty persons were made corrc-
spondinsly happy, while over four
hundred were disappointed. The
sale was the second one given by
these gentlemen and the prices

The N:.. .Ac -.ulc.
When the war hogan and it was an
n0unccd that the British artillery and
ammunition were to be transported by
American mule power The Scimitar and
other knowedgublc journals pointed out
fatal omission in the programme. No
provision was made for American dar-
kies to manage the animals.
Any southerncr could have informed
the British government that whenever n
white man undertakes to handle mule
he is bound to come to grief sooner or
later There is no affinity between them.
But between the American negro and
the mule there is subtle understanding
which is beyond the comprehension Of
the Caucasian. 1t is kind OF telepathy.
and singular feature of the case is that
the familiarity thus cngendered never
breeds contempt OH either side. The
mule takes no liberties with its dusky
driver. and he never loses sight of the
fact that the seeming mcekness OF his
charge is us little TO be trusted as the
quietude of n cottonmouth moccasin in
coil. The relation between them is that
Of armed neutrality. Both are constantly
on the alert, and the animal will no more
presume upon the nodding Of its driver
than the driver upon the air Of peaceful
meditation which is the distinguishing
characteristic OF the animal in rcpose.-

Union Christmas Tree.

The union Christmas tree on Sat 1rday evening was a success in every way, and reflects great credit upon those who managed it.
 The committees made a canvass of the town, and if any of the children were overlooked it was not the fault of those in charge. The merchants and citizens contributed literally, and every child present received gift. The Globe brass band added materially to the enjoyment of the evening.
 Prof Ball made neat speech upon the significance of the occasion; Rev. McIntier delivered an impressive in- vocation; MT. Clapp made an ideal Santa Claus.
 The programme by the children, under the direction of Mrs. Hodges and Mr. Davis, was well received. The generosity of the Odd Fellows in donating the use of the hall was appreciated. The hall was crowded and standing room was at premium.
 The merry Christmas salutations and feeling of good will that prevailed, the happy and joyous appearance of the children, and the beauty of the Christmas tree, made it an occasion long to be remembered, and all who labored for it's success may feel con- scious of good deed done. Let it not be forgotten, but repeated next year

Death of Sam MuIllgan.

Samuel Mulligan died on Friday night, Dec. g, after a long illness. He was first taken sick nearly two months ago with intammatOry rheu- matism, from which he had so far recoy- cred at the end of three weeks that he was able to return to his shop, and worked ten days. On Dec. a second attack compelled him to take to his bed again. The disease attacked his heart and his condition became criti- cal, but he again rallied and might have recovered had not Bright's disease (which was the immediate cause of death) manifested itself. He received the best medical attention and constant care from his brother, William, and faithful friends, but their efforts to stay the progress of the disease were unavailing.
 Samuel Mulligan was native Of County Down, Ireland, and was about 3l years of age. He was shoemaker and had worked at his trade in Globe for five years, building up q very good business. He was man of generous impulses and jovial disposition. His only relatives in the United States are two brothers William, who re- sides here, and David, who arrived from Silver City, N. M,, last Monday night.
 The funeral took place on Sunday afternoon from Odd Fellows ball, the services being conducted by Rev. E.. O. McIntier, assisted by quartette, composed of Miss Josephine Hamm, Mrs. Patton and MessrS. Hitchcock and Brookner; and Miss Graydon ac- companist. The Globe brass band, playing dirge, led the funeral train, and behind the hearse marched mem- bers of the Foresters and Knights of Pythias lodges (to which deceased had belonged), followed by long line of carriages. The services at the grave were conducted by the Knights of Pythias and the Foresters, which con cluded the solemn ceremony.
