was badly scalded.
Mrs. Riffel was engaged In washing

thing else, but had no sooner turned
her back than she heard scream and
turning around discovered that the lit-
tie tot had fallen headfirst into the
boiler.
To clutch the child and jerk it ont
of its scaIding bath was only the work
of a moment, but In the interval the
child was shookiugly soalded.
DR.. Smith WAS called, who did every
thing possible to relieve the suffering
of the child. whose hands and arms
had been immersed in the boiling wat
er and were burned into blisters. The
child's face was also scalded, but that
part OF the body had only partially
come in contact with the hot water
and was not so badly injured as the
hands and arms.
At last accounts the child was rest
ing comparatively we'll. There are
fair prospects OF its recovery.

Deafness Cannot Be Cured.

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the d diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness. aud that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness Is caused by an in
famed condition of the mucous lining
of the Eustachian Tube. When this
tube is inflamed you have rumbliug
sound or imperfect hearing, and when
il is entirely closed. Deafness is the
result, and unless the Inflammation
can be taken out and this tube restor-
ed to It's normal condition. hearing
will be destroyed forever; nine cases
out of ten are caused by Oatarrh, which
is nothing but an infismed condition
of the mucous surfaces.

THE BIRD
WAS A BITTERN

A gentleman from Cooper township
Monday brought bittern into town,
which is, indeed, a very rare bird in
these parts and it proved quite a cur
iosity. Probably in all our population
there were not half dozen who had
ever seen bittern
The bird was about the size of hen
with long spear.like bill, yellowish
low-green; the iris yellow. The length
of the bird was about tweuty-six
inches extent about forty.five inches.
The general color was brownish yell
low the top OF the head dull brown.
The other part of the body was finely
freok led and variegsted with different
were white with brown streaks. The
gentleman who brought the bird to
town was walking on Lobach's farm,
Sunday, when he was attacked by the
bird. which charged upon HIM after
the fashion of a hen which wishes to
protect a brood of chickens. He was
carrying a stick with which he struck
the bird, temporarily stunning it so
that he was enabled to pick it up The
bird soon revived and when seen in
Danville yesterday was quite lively
and in a verv belligerant mood.
No one had ever seen such bird be-
fore and there were many coDjectures
as to what family it belonged to. The
strange bird was taken to the store of
M. II. Schram, who speedily settled
the controversy, BY pronouncing the
bird bittern. or as it is sometimes
called by sportsmen "green.legged
crane. The bittern is a wader and
subsists on frogs. lizards, small snakes
aud fish, which 1t spears with its long
bill as Ii walks or wades stealthily
along.
The habitat of the bittern ia temper
ate North America south to Guatemala
and the West Indies. 1t is occasionally
seen In Pennsylvania during the SUM
mer but very rarely breeds in this
State. 1t is thought that the bittern
in Cooper township was
Matching or probably had a nest of
young nearby. The bittern is mostly
seen single or In pairs.
