A New Form of Amusement for Winter Evenings. Quotation parties are in style. Each guestcomcs with three quotations, and tho company is to give the names of the authors. Prizes, or favors, as a flower, or whatever you like, are presented to those returning correct answers. When there are a number of correct answers the favors arc drawn by lot.

All winds up with a supper at the expense of the hostess. The suppers must not be very extravagant, as the quotation party is simply a pleasant little amusement, to be given every other week or so at different houses. Tho gentlemen subscribe to a fund for the favors, and it is expected any gentleman winning favors will present them to a lady. Consequently all the favors are selected with a thought of the taste of ladies, and must be in no sense masculine. The happiest girl at the end of tho season is the girl who has the most favors, won by herself or given by gentlemen.

To the favors are attached cards with the names of the gentlemen who gave them, and at the last party of the year they are counted up. The girl with the biggest lot gets an additional prize, of course paid for by a gentleman, and this should be a very handsome affair. Personal. Itev. Thomas Neal, is lying ill with pneumonia.

Next Friday evening there will be a children's carnival at tho the State Capital.

THERE IS A HITCH. Work on the Railroad Connections up tho Valley Suspended. Dillsburg Bulletin. Because of some hitch in the arrangements the contractor who secured the award for constructing the remaining portion of the Harrisburg and Potomac railroad, from Bowmansdale to the Susquehanna riyer, has been instructed not to proceed with his work for the present, says the Chambersburg Spirit. The engineers who were surveying for a con ith Him Baltimore and Cumber land Valley railroad at Shippensburg mi 1 nave aiso Deen recaiieu.

imsiuanca an unexpected break in the through line which seemed so certain only a week ago. We trust it may only be temporary. It seems the cause of the difference is the Shippensburg connection. The Harrisburg and Potomac people, or rather the Reading road, their backers, want to connect with the Baltimore and Cumberland Valley at a point south of the Zellers farm and west of Shippensburg. The Western Maryland maaagers want the connection made so as to avoid an abandonment of their present buildings at the northern end of Shippensburg.

The Reading people say the Zellers farm connection could be made at a grade of about forty feet per mile while, they assert, a grade of from eighty to ninety feet per mile would be necessary to make the connection which would be required by an overhead crossing of the Cumberland Valley railroad at or near the Normal School. "This grade, they contend, would not only be expensive to construct but expensive to operate. A CHEAP TEAM. A Dorse Thief's Anxiety to Dispose of His Stolen Hoods. On Saturday afternoon a man drove to the Freeland House, in Millersburg, with a horse and sleigh and registered "John Crawford, Millerstown.

His anxiety to dispose of his team very soon convinced everybody about the hotel that something was wrong. He finally traded off the horse and sleigh for a "fruit preserving outfit" and $10 to a guest of the hotel named Taylor. He pocketed the money and disappeared. It is supposed he took the first freight for Harrisburg. On Monday a telegram was received from Shenandoah answering to the description of the man and team, followed the next day by a bill offering a reward of $25 for the apprehension of the man or the lecovery of the property, and stating that the team was borrowed from John J.

Franey, liveryman at Shenanhoah. The team has since been claimed by the owner, reward and expenses paid, but the thief is still at liberty and his whereabouts unknown. He evidently made the best use of his time and limited funds to get out of reach. OOEBSEN TO HANG. The Board of Pardons Destroys His Last Hope.

A meeting of the Board of Pardons was held this afternoon at the private office of Secretary Africa to consider the case of Dr. Chas F. Goersen, who is under sentence of death in Philadelphia for poisoning his wife and mother in law.

The Board, after going over the papers decided not to iu terfere and Goersen will hang.

J. Senseman, who has long held the position of leading soprano in Grace M. E. church choir, was presented last evening with $100 in gold by attendants at the church who have enjoyed her singing. This mark of esteem took the lady totally by surprise.

Irregularity of the bowels is remediable without their aid, and they enfeeble those organs. Hos tettcr's Stomach Bitters are not only a laxative, but a tonic.

No subsequent medication is needed, as in the case of powerful cathartics, to repair the violence of their effects. Blue pill and calomel are never safe in the long run and there are other medicines taken to regulate the liver and bowels, which are hurtful to both. Long experience has proved the Bitters to be safe and salutary as well as potent. They brace up the system when enfeebled, thus guarding it from disease, (particularly malarial complaints,) remedy the weakness and inactivity of a dyspeptic stomach, improve appetite, and tend to tranquilize overtaxed nerves. They have also won repute as a remedy for rheumatism and kidnev troubles.
