W. Means returned last Thursday from a quite extended visit to her home in St. Louis. Hon. Geo.

A. Jenks and wife and daughter, Miss Emma, are home from Washington for P. a short visit. The candidates have been having a horrible time traveling through the mud. It's simply G.

W. Andrews, and Miss Mechling, a granddaughter, of Denver, are visiting Hon. I. G. Gordon and family.

Hunting accidents are now reported with regular frequency. Guns seem to be danger, ous "without lock, stock or barrel." It is said the rainfall for the month of September was only 4.84 inches. October will doubtless show up about 2 feet. For winter underwear call on S. Kaufman, 34 Main street, for ladies, gents and children.

Cheap for cash or country produce. John P. Keys, of Brock wayville, is at the head of a movement having in view the raising of a militia company for the National Guard. I. C.

Fuller is building an addition to his mill in which he will place the mill for grinding chop. This will give him increased capacity all around. A. S. Saul, the well known livery man of Clarion, died Wednesday morning of last week.

He had many friends and acquaintances in Brookville. George Sandt, of the firm of Verstine Sandt, left Monday for Philadelphia and New York, where he will purchase his stock of holiday and other goods. Our Du Bois neighbors are bappy in their expectations of haying water works and electric light. You mustn't get too proud neigh bors, as pride goeth before a fall. Johnsonburg, Elk county, seems to have a bright future.

The new wood pulp works, along with eighty houses for employes, now being built make things very lively. Woodward Bailey, of DuBois, shot himself while out hunting one day recently. The gun was loaded with slugs which passed through his arm making a serious but not fatal wound. Dr. S.

T. Redick, of Allegheny, father in law of Rev. J. B. Caruthers, of Brock wayville, was injured at the recent Pittsburgh centennial, and died Wednesday of last week from his injuries.

R. Emery, of the Central Hotel, is at home again. We understand he will remain here for a season and then attend an art school in soure one of the prominent institutions of that character.

Guth, in this place, has opened up his new jewelry store in the new Dailey block, at DuBois. Bernard suffered considerable loss in the recent fire, and we are glad to see him on his feet again. The Council of the Order of United American Mechanics recently organized in this place is growing very rapidly as it becomes better known. It is a deservedly popular order. The Council meets in K.

of P. Hall every Friday evening. We have been informed diphtheria is epidewic at New Bethlehem, Fairmount and other points near there, in Clarion county, and the pubtic schools and Sunday schools have been closed. We sincerely hope the fatal disease may be driven off. By a strange oversight we failed to insert the interrogatory of the W.

C. T. U. to the candidates for State Senator in our last issue. The copy was mislaid and was overlooked in the hurry to gel the paper out.

We can only say we are sorry it so happened. A commission to divide north Young township into two election districts coilposed of D. E. Brenneman, W. C.

Torretice and T. Campbell, met at the City Hotel, Punxsutawney, Tuesday, Oct. 30, for the purpose of having a hearing in the matter. Mr. Breuneman was in attendance.

To-night, October 31, is All Haltow E'en. We hope for the good name of our boys they will not engage in any schemes for the destruction of property. It would be much more pleasant to stay in the house, and make tatty and crack nuts, than to run around getting into all wander of mischief. LOCAL PARAGRAPHS. One of the most conspicuous points in our town is the hill upon which the Roman Catholic church is located.

It can be seen by more residents than any other point around here. It is proposed to place a town clock in the steeple of the church as a matter of convenience to the public, and Rev. Father Wienker, at the suggestion of a number of our liberal spirited citizens, will call upon the people for this purpose. There should be a liberal and hearty response by the people as they will receive the benefit of the clock. On inquiry we find that it will cost between $500 and $600 to put in a first.

class clock, such as is contemplated, but that sum will be easily raised if every citizen will give something towards it. This, of course, should not be viewed as a charity, for everybody in sight of the clock will receive benefit more than equal to their subscription. Hon. George R. Wendling's lecture on "Hamlet," Wednesday evening of last week, was one of the finest lectures it has ever been our pleasure to listen to.

From the beginning Mr. Wendling seemed to captivate his hearers and they sat as if entranced to the close. He gave his hearers a clearer conception of the personality and character of Hamlet than could have been gained in witnessing the play many times, and when he came to compare and apply the traits of character peculiar to Hamlet with and to the present day, he made some most forcible and beautiful points. It does not need that we should speak of Mr. Wendling's delivery, it is simply incomparable.

We regret the attendance, though good, was not as large as it should have been. The following notice was taken from the San Diego Daily Union, of Friday, Oct. 19: A reception of a very cordial and pleasing nature was giyen last evening to Dr. J. E.

Hall and wife by the members of the Young People's Christian Alliance of the First M. E. church in this city, of which society Dr. Hall is President. The large parlors of the church were well filled with ladies and gentlemen, and it was evident that the reception was not confined to the Alliance, but it was general in its character.

Handshaking and congratulations were the order of the evening, after which the society rendered a very pleasant program, to the enjoyment of ail present. Fred, the fourteen-year-old son of F. W. Sprague, of Duke Centre, on Friday last met with a singular accident. While returning, from a hunting expedition he stopped at McAdoo's boiler house, and while standing with the butt of the gun resting on the ftoor the weapon accidentally slipped through a crack in the floor, when both barrels were discharged, tearing open the boy's abdomen and riddling his intestines.

Drs. Freeman, of Smethport, Lewis, of Rixford, and Ross, of Duke Centre, were summened, but the case was beyond human skill, and the next evening at 7 o'clock death Leader. Mrs. Al. Baur and sister, Mrs.

A. C. Steel, perpetrated a little joke on Al. a few days ago which made him open his eves. Al.

was watching the store and stepped into a neighbor's a few minutes for something when Mrs. Baur and Mrs. Steel quietly entered the store and took a couple jars' of candy and cleaned out the money drawer, making their escape without being seen. Mr. Baur and Mr.

Steel were considerably excited for some time after the robbery was discovered, but when the joke was revealed they were compelled to come down with a good laugh. Al. watches the store pretty closely now. Mr. and Mrs.

W. D. J. Marlin gave an elegant reception Thursday of last week in honor of Mr. and Mrs.

B. M. Marlin, which was attended by a large number of invited guests. Mr. and Mrs.

Marlin and their son and his bride, assisted by Misses Blanche Henderson and Kate D. Gore and Mr. B. M. Clark, received the guests in the east parlor, after which they proceeded to enjoy themselves in the most social way.

The large company was served with the most elegant refreshments during the evening. At a seasonable hour all retired well pleased with the delightful eyening they had spent. The first copy of the Big Run Enterprise which has been received I at this office arrived last week, and after examining it we would say it is a very creditable publication worthy in every way of the support of the thriving town where it is published, and vicinity. We notice the home merchants patronize it very well, which is right. We understand the paper has recently been enlarged, and are glad to hear of this evidence of success.

By dint of industriously tramping around in the mud for fifteen or twenty minutes a person might have been able to find any one of our crossings during the past two or three weeks, but he was just as likely to miss it. True, our enterprising merchants tried to keep them clean, but the stuff was so thin and so deep it overflowed the crossings as fast as they were cleaned off. The Coroner's jury investigating the Mud Run railroad accident, in which sixty-four persons were killed, has found engineers Cook and Major, conductors Terry and Keithline and brakeman James Hannigan guilty of neglect and they have been arrested for manslaughter and taken to Mauch Chunk for trial. Our lady readers will be interested in the announcement that G. Loebman's new stock embraces a really superb line of dry goods, including all articles needed about a house, which he is selling a bottom prices.

Great opening of fall and winter goods at Al. Loebman's Cheap Store. Call and examine goods and get prices before going elsewhere, as you will save money by buying of him. 200 overcoats, from $2.00 up at S. Kaufman's, 34 Main street, Emerick ville.

Charlie Million's smiling face is again seen on our streets. Our schools will close this week for a vacation of two weeks. Miss Lina and Anna Heichhold are the guests of the Misses Weiser. Master Milton Dempsey has returned from the Soldier's Orphan School. Mr.

Keeler Steele will visit his friends wear of Brookville during vacation. Rev. Flowers preached his first sermon in the Church of God last Sunday night. Prof. Morris will organize another music class Tuesday evening in the west end of town.

Charlie Dinger and Charlie Zetler have gone to Carmen where they intend uniting themselves to the laboring class of people. Mr. Samuel Kelly, who has been spending the summer in the Pacific states, is again circulating among his many friends in this place. We will contradict one item in last week's paper. Miss Hannah Moore has been visiting her sister, Mrs.

Welder, in Big Run, the preyious two weeks. The Democratic meeting in Weiser's hall Saturday evening was largely attended, and all were much pleased with the speeches of Messrs. McMurray and Means. There are a few ladies and gentlemen who pretend to walk in the highest society, find nothing else to do but carry news and clash. We hope they will not do it any more.

BALSY. New Petersburg. The farmers are busily engaged in putting away their fall craps. Our merchants, Timblin Elkin, shipped a car toad of chestnuts last week. Jumbo passed through town several times last week.

He looks hale and hearty. Another wedding soon at Schwire Doddie's. We understand the wedding apparel is bought, Our old friend Joseph Sylvis, of Eddyville, Armstrong county, was recently visiting his daughter, Mrs. Haas. The Hollenbauch school is in good condition under the tutorship of Miss Hattie Rounce, who is a model young lady.

Mrs. William Weaver has been lying very low with Erysipelas for the last few weeks, but we are glad to say she is now recovering. J. A. Shirey says there is no place in the West like old Pennsylvania.

He is engaged at present in teaching the Minich school. We wish him success. All those wishing to secure bargains in horse trading will do well to call on Jacob Powell, who is always ready to trade or tell a good story. Married, by Rev. J.

N. Wetzler, October 21, 1888, Mr. A. E. McClellan, of this place, and Miss Nancy Sherry, of West Virginia.

We wish the young couple happiness. SAMMY O. HI. C. DICKINSON 75 Third Avenue, Pittsburgh.

This firm invites country merchants to visit their exhibit of scales and grocer's supplies, at the rooms of the Grocer's Protective Association, No. 628 Liberty street, Pittsburgh. They are agents for the Buffalo Scale heavy scales and Henry Troemer's fine counter scales. They also exchauge old scales for new ones on favorable terms and sell all kinds of grocers' requisites. 43-2t Here 15 a valuable item to many, and all such should cut it out and preserve it for future use.

A horse, no matter how vicious and obstinate he quay be when an attempt is made to shoe him, can be rendered quiet and manageable by making him inspire during the operation a few grains of the etherial oil of parsley, dropped on a handkerchief. A large number of trials of this substance have been made with the most troublesome and violent animals, and in eyery case with perfect Mrs. Mary McLain and daughter have purchased the millinery store of Mrs. S. H.

Whitehill and will conduct that branch of business in connection with the dressmaking business. Their well known taste and skill is a guarantee that their work will be in every way of a superior order, and our ladies would do well to consult with them in regard to all matters in their line. Their formal announcement will appear in our next issue. A tragic story was telegraphed to the Pittsburgh papers from Punxsutawney last week, to the effect that Walter St.Clair had averted a terrible railroad collision by breaking open a switch and turning one of two trains which were supposed to be trying to pass each other on the same track, into a branch or side track. The News is authority for the statement that no such thing happened.

Dressmaking! Dressmaking! Having secured the services of a first-class dressmaker in connection with my store I am prepared to do all work in first-class style. Satisfaction guaranteed. Orders solicited. W. I.

Burton, 64 Main Brookville, Pa. The supper and festival given by the Womens Relief Corps this (Wednesday)evening, will begin at 5 o'clock, when a splendid supper will be spread for all who patronize them. Don't forget to call on the ladies. No one need want for substantial and comfortable boots and shoes now. G.

Kaufman's, 34 Main street. Gloves and mittens, all kinds, cheap at S. Kaufman's. From the Other Side of the Ball. Septemder 1st, 1888.

Dear -I will try to finish that letter I promised you off Manilla, Amoy and Shanghai. The Phillippines are a rich group of Islands situated in latitude 5 and 22, north, and longitude 123 and 133, east, and form a Spanish colony. These islands are over five hundred in number and contain an area of 52,647 square miles. At the close of 1887 the population, including the army and navy, was estimated at 7,636,682. The principal islands are divided into 27 provinces, 13 of which are on the isle of Luzon, 6 on the isle Negros, 5 on Pany, and 3 on Mindanao.

The islands were formerly annexed to the crown of Spain. The early history of the Philippines (1565) is a record of continued trouble. Conflicts between the ecclesiastical authorities led to the internal contentions, while both Portugal and the Netherlands coveted these rich, possessions and harassed the Spaniards. Attacks were also made by strong Chinese piratical fleets. In 1762 these islands were taken by the English, but were restored again two years later for a ransom of £1,000,000, but the ransom has never been exacted.

After the discovery of these islands ecclesiastics flocked to them in great numbers and, undisturbed by Spanish authority, the work of converting was carried on with vigor. At the present time the clergy number 1,962. The greater part of the natives brought under subjection profess Roman Catholic religion. In the Phillippines there has been little of that cruelty to the aboriginal population which characterizes the work of colonization, and the natives are generally contented and well conducted. The priests exercise the unbounded influence they possess with good effect in preserving order.

In the inaccessible mountainous parts of these islands there are still tribes of dued savages, but the government is being rapidly spread over them, as their numbers are comparatively small, In the last census the number of natives paying no tribute is given at 602,850, while the number paying tribute is 5,501,356. There are a great many half breeds, called Mestizos, sore of Spanish fathers and native mothers, and some of Chinese fathers. The chief articles of produce are sugar, hemp and tobacco. The climate of the Phillippines varies little from that of any other country in the same latitude, the thermometer ranging from about 60 to 100 degrees during the year. The rainy season lasts about six months, and long continued drouths occur sometimes when the ground becomes parched and the crops are utterly destroyed.

Husbandry also suffers from the ravages of the locust, which will sometimes almost denude a whole province of herbage. These islands come within the scope of typhoons and terrificstorms areof frequent occurrence. They are also the centre of great volcanic disturbances. The destructive ravages and changes produced by earthquakes, says Sir John Bowering, writing in 1858, are nowhere more remarkable than in the Phillippines. They have overturned mountains; they have filled up valleys; they have desolated extensive plains; they have opened passages from the sea into the interior, and from the lake into the sea.

There are many traditional stories of these disturbances, but of late disasters the records are trustworthy. That of 1776 was the greatest ever occurring in these islands. In 1824 many churches in Manilla were destroyed, and the principal bridge, the barracks, great numbers of private residences, and a chasm opened nearly four miles in length. In a visit to this chasm, by myself and several of my shipmates we saw how great the eruption must have been. It is about 18 feet wide and I should say bottomless, for we could not hear a stone dropped from the bridge--the sound would not reach us from the bottom -and it has never been sounded.

The all fled to the fields and a number of vessels were wrecked in the port by the tidal wave which followed. In 1828, during another earthquake, the vibration of lamps was found to describe an are of 44 feet. The huge cor: ner stones of the principal gate of the city were displaced, and the large bells were set ringing. It lasted between two and three minutes but was not accompanied by subterranean noises which is usually the case. In 1863 another disastrous earthquake occurred, and again in 1880, from which the ruins are still to be seen in Manilla.

Persons visiting the Phillippines are required to secure a passport from their own government and haved it vised by the Spanish Consulate at the port of embarkation. Manilla, the capital of the Phillippines, is situated on the island of Luzon, and at the mouth of the river Pasig, which empties into the bay of Manilla. The city was founded in 1571. In 1645 it was almost entirely destroyed by an earthquake, in which upwards of 300 lives were lost. In 1863 a great part of it was again destroyed from the same cause, and also in July, in 1880, another upheaval made a wreck of a great portion of it.

The inhabitants are in constant fear of these disturbances, and their dwelling houses are built with a view to safety under such circumstancss. Although large they possess, architecturally, no beauty. The streets are narrow and not very clean, and bot little attention has been paid to securing shade by the growth of trees. There are several ancient churches which are worthy of notice. The cathedral which was founded in 1678, has been partially destroyed by earthquakes several times, and did not escape in 1863, but it has been rebuilt eacli time and still retains some of the ancient architecture and material.

Again it sustained so much damage in 1880 that the tower bad to be torn down, but is now being rebuilt. The chief articles of export are sugar, hemp, tobacco, coffee, indigo and manilla, while of imports cotton goods form the chief item. Only a small portion of the present city is inclosed within the walls. The anchorage is distant about three miles and one can obtain a splendid yiew of the public buildings and principal streets, which run inland from the water's edge. The public buildings comprise several large brown stone edifices in the central part of the new city, the largest of which is the capitol, built in 1878.

The dome is 240 feet high and is gilded, and on a clear day can be seen shining in the sunlight a distance of 80 miles, from the mast head at sea. Race meetings are held here every spring, but unfortunately we were just one month too late to witness this sport. The leading sport of Manilla and all the eastern Spanish provinces is the bull fight. The amphitheater, in which these sports take place, is a circular building capable of seating about 30,000 people. The best way to describe it is to remind you of a circus ring with a high iron fence around it between six and seven feet high.

There are from five to ten actors, half of which are on horse back and half on foot. Each man is provided with a lance, from ten to fourteen feet long, and a red blanket for the purpose of throwing over the bull's head to bewilder him. Looking over the audience from my seat, in the upper gallery, it looked a swarthy and motley gathering, yelling themselves hoarse at every new feature of the fight. If a horse is killed or a man gored the wildest enthusiasm prevails, and it is some time before the audience can be restored to order. Women sometimes engage in this sport, and they are said to be the most expert actors.

The fight generally lasts from forty to sixty minutes. The admission is twenty Mexican cents. Another interesting feature of Manilla is the lottery kept up by the government. Some of our boys were lucky in purchasing tickets drawing prizes from five to fifty Mexican dollars. The harbor of Manilla is not very good, the anchorage being about three miles distant, but wharves are now in process of building which will improve it and dispense with junks for the purpose of unloading ships.

We laid in Manilla seven days and on the morning of the 8th all hands up anchor for Shanghai via Formosa and Amov. C. T. BAUMGARDNER, Aboard U.S. Essex, Chemulpo, Corea.
