Singing Mouse. A lady residing in West Pittston, whose name we purposely withhold, while performing on her piano a few weeks ago, heurf what appeared to be the voice of bird chirping merrily, and seemingly endeavoring to accompany the notes of the instrument. When she stopped playing the mysterious accompaniest also stopped. The sounds appeared to come from between the walls behind the piano. On the second day after the discovery, the same thing occurred again, and the Indy became very curious to know the cause of it.

She made search every where but could not see where. by any possibility, a birdfor she imagined it was 8 bird -could have imprisoned itself in the wall. On the third day she went to the piano several times, and as often as she played, the musical notes of the mysterious minstrel kont time and unison with what she performed. Two weeks passed. and one day while ut the instrument, as usual, her eye was suddenly attraced by the appearance of a mouse sitting on one end of the piano.

The lady also observed that her little visitor was making a noise, and while she listened she discovered that the mouse Wats actually singing. All was now explained. She played different tunes, and the mouse changed as frequently. When she finished. the mouse withdrew suddenly and entered small hole in one corner of the apartment.

The lady now determined upon securing the mouse, and had pretty hard work to do so, but eventually succeeded. The mouse is now in her possession and is quite tame. It sings almost like a canary, and what is more, notuaily curries the airs of the pieces performed by its mistress upon the piano. Railroad Bridge on Fire. A little hefore noon on Tuesday, the gong sounded an alarm of fire and instantly the streets were alive with curious people, all anxious to know what was burning.

It was rumored that the railrond bridge on the Valley road just below Oregon in flames. and instantly hundreds rushed down to the Depot bridge, near the east end of which pond view of the bridge was obtained. At the time we saw it the upper part of the structure appeared to be all on fire. Niagara steumer was out at the first alarm, and rapidly got on to the towpath of the canal at the stone mill crossing, and made its way to the burning bridge. It was long distance and a hard pull for the few men on the ropes at the start, but L.

H. Evans Co. kindly sent their strong team at a flying rate down to the steamer, and the latter was taken in tow and very easily reached the scene of the conflagration. Up to this time two or three men were doing all they could to stay the progress of the flames by throwing water on to them with a couple of buckets. The steamer, however, soon got a fine stream on the fire, and in a few momentsevery ember was quenched.

The loss is very small, but the whole might have been destroyed had not our steamer lent its aid. The bridge was fired by sparks from a passing locomotive. Burglar Caught. About four weeks ago the gun store of C. F.

Squires was broken into and a lot of revolvers, cartridges and cigars taken away. Mr. Squires notified Chief of Police Ed. Rutledge of the robbery, who told him to keep quiet and say nothing about it, as he thought he would soon get a clue. In the meantime Mr.

Squires gave the chief a description of the revolvers. Some time after a revolver was taken by officer John Connell from a man naraed Pete Stanton, whom he had arrested for being drunk and disorderly and carrying concealed weapons. The revolver I was like those taken from Mr. Squires. On being asked where he got the weapon he said a young man named Missett, from Frogtown, gave it to him.

Misset denied all about it. Stanton swore that Missett gave it to him, but after a little questioning, however, he pleaded guilty. In the chief found nine revolvers, some buried in the cellar, a lot of cartridges and cigars. Stanton was taken to the county jail to await the next term of court. Credit is certainly due Chief Rutledge for the able and manner in which he has handled this and other cases.

Our police force throughout is a credit to the town, and could they have the hearty support of the citizens, would do better still. MIll City Notes.

T. De Witt Talmage In Trouble. The worldly editor is not the only one who indulges in strong language. Rev. Mr.

Talmage, who was advertised to lecture bere recently, and didn't, is in trouble. Re was for a long time the editor of the Christian at Work, but having received a better offer on the Chicago Advance he undertook to advertise the change in the Christian at Work, without the knowledge of the publishers. He slyly went to the office of the latter paper on the night before its pablication, and ordered all the printers to remain at their stations. He then wrote a long editorial concerning his from the Christian at Work, and uleo a splendid advertisement of the Chicago Advance, and ordered the two articles in the taper in place of other matter. The printers did as they were told to do by Mr.

Talmage, and the latter kept the boys at work all night -An unusual thing -and watched the office door at the same time. The paper went to press and Talmage went home, probably chuckling to himself on the nice little piece of strategy he had performed. But early the next day his trick was discovered, and the whole edition was subsequently destroyed by the publishers. The paper was delayed considerably, but when it reappeared the proprietors, after explaining matters, said editorially: journal, whatever may be its deficiencies, will not he a mere personal organ. It will not be subject to impulse nor governed by caprice.

Believing that Christian truth should be declared with simplicity and earnestness, it will be direct without being dull and versatile without being trivial. It will make more of life than a jest. It will not borrow the clothes of Harlequin, no paint from Columbine, nor rob poor Pantaloon of his mask." It is rumored that Mr. Talmage will prosecute them for defamation of character on the strength of the last paragraph. Amusements.

Tarn out, one and all. Our Roosters. We placed two roosters at the head of our columns last week, one for the Indiana vietory and one for the Democratic success in West Virginia.

So our friends will see that our roosters were all right and in proper order. We did not show the other roosters, but they'll all have a chance to crow next month. Erratum.
