The boys of the 18th reg. encamped
in the Anthracite coal fields and ex
pscting to remain there for some time
were surprised last Saturday, to receive
orders to concentrate at Mt. Carmel and
make ready to leave for their homes.
They took the train Sunday afternoon
and arrived in Butler at noon Of Mon
day, and the war is over.
Stealing a horse from horse thief
is an odd job, but that is what drunk
en- man did in Butler few evenings
ago. The horse thief found the drunk
ca man ont the road, took him in and
drove him to Butler. Then he came up
town7for drink, and when he returned
the drunken man and the rig were gone.
The rig belonged in Franklin and the
owner found it at Allison's in Centre |
twp.
The walls of the first story of the
new Bank building are 32 inches thick |
and those OF the 9Th story will be is |
inches. The first story is entirely faced |
with Indiana limestone, the second |
story is about half stone ard half brick, |
the third story is nearly all red brick
and other stories will be similar. The
depth of the iron beams placed in the
building has been surprise to many |
people and the floors that are being |
built between them are made of a
mixture Of cement sand and ashes. The
walls of the third story are about COM
plete and work is in progress on those
of the fourth.
They take life much too seriously
In Germany. Consider the case of that
landrath of Mecklenburg who, because
he was made the subject of humorous
poesy by the opposition, set the machin-
cry Of the law in ponderous molten !
against the author, the publisher and
the reader and demanded two months |
imprisonment for the unfortunate aud
itor who "grunted gleefully" and ap-
plauded the composition. After ten |
months Of litigation the writer was SEN
fenced to 30 days in jail the publisher
was fined $75 and the reader $12 80; but
we are glad to observe that the gentle |
man who grunted gleefully escaped. 1t
Is good to know that jovial citizen can |
grunt gleefully without fear of the
heavy hand of justice. The case arouses |
recollection Of the more celebrated Irish |
case during the palmy days Of boycott |
ing, where the Widow Flanagan was
CONVICTED of winking at Gallagher's pig |
and thereupon impressively bound over
to keep the peace. It's apparent that. |
notwithstanding lese majeste and the |
other medieval trimmings of the Kais- |
er's realm, there is more personal free
dom in the Fatherland than in the EN-
erald Isle. .-Ex
