The camel had to be killed to keep it from starving to death and to put it out of misery. It was buried, as we stated on a former occasion in this paper, on High street, which was then out of town, almost opposite where Amos Smith now lives on that -Kittanning Democrat and Sentinel.

While talking with C. P. Wallace yesterday about the heavy ice in the river, Mr. Wallace said he remembered a tragic event connected with the going out of ice from the Beaver river. He said he did not remember the year, but thinks it was at least forty years ago, and it was on Washington's birthday.

In a log-house on this side of the river little below Rock Point, lived an old couple named Lightner. They had several children who were married, and lived on farms on the opposite side of the river. On the 22d of February the old folks made a feast and invited their children and friends to spend the day with them. The visitors crossed the river on the ice in the morning, and it appeared strong enough to last for days. As the day wore along it grew warm and melted the ice rapidly, and the people thought they had better set home before, their bridge became unsafe.

The whole party set out, but before they were half-way over the river the ice began to move, and although they made desperate efforts to escape four of the party failed to reach the shore and were drowned in sight of their grief-stricken parents. Some of the members of this family are now living in the neighborhood of Darlington. -Beaver Falls (Pa.) Tribune. The Erie fish hatchery has about 090 eggs in process of hatching at the present time. The eggs were gathered by Harry Douglass, who has the direct charge of the hatchery at this station, at Toledo, Sandusky and Kellys island.

They are the largest and the plumpest lot of white fish eggs that have been brought to the hatchery in this city since that plant has been established. One can which is in the light and could best be scrutinized did not show more than two per cent of barren aggs. The eggs were put into the cans in November, and it is expected that the fry will commence to come out in about three weeks. When the winter is open the eggs hatch sooner than they do when the weather is so cold, for they are affected by the temperature of the water which runs through the cans to keep the eggs agitated. All of the fry will be deposited in the lake off Erie.

-Erie (Pa.) Dispatch. Yesterday evening while Richard Fliblone, who works in the foundry at Beaver Falls, was washing his feet, he came across a hard metallic substance imbedded in the sole of one foot. He took his knife and pried it out. It proved to be a tin tag such as is used in plug tobacco. How it came there is a mystery.

He says he remembers one hot night in August he was walking through his yard in his bare feet, when he stepped on something that produced a. sharp pain. He was about to investigate, when pust at that moment the fire bell rang and he ran into the house, hustled into his shoes and ran up street to the fire. He experienced 110 inconvenience and of course forgot all about it. He thinks he must have stepped on the tag at that Falls (Pa.) Journal.

A strange incident occurred in the vicinity of Jones' mills. Two huge black snakes were killed near a spring by a man named Joseph Ferguson, a citizen of this place. After the serpents were killed they were hung on the roadside, where they soon froze. Not long afterward G. W.

Bruner, a well known resident of Donegal, drove by and mistook the serpents for hitching straps. He hastily got out of the sleigh, seized the snakes and was almost frightened into fits. Gathering up his senses he discovered his mistake and removed the huge to his sleigh and took them with him to Donegal, where he concluded to turn the joke on some one else. So he hung the snakes to his stable and went to hunt up Mr. Jones who has recently started up in the saddler business in this place.

He found Mr. Jones in the postofflee and told him he had some straps he wanted mended, and insisted on him going along to the stable, so they started. When they reached the stable Bruner entered, and immedlately handed the pretended straps to Jones, it was growing a little late in the evening, and on taking hold to of be the mended, snakes thinking they were straps he was frightened almost out of his senses and so Bruner passed the joke Press. A gruesome story of suffering has come to us from beyond Kahltown, in Eldred township, in which a child about four or five years of age, a son of a coal miner, is represented to have been abandoned and left in an old rattle-trap of a house, without food or clothing, in the severest weather of last week, where, he stayed shut up for several days, or until some inspiration moved a neighbor lady, Mrs. Martin, to make an investigation when the boy was found in a terrible plight, hungry and frost-bitten and almost perished.

The lady acted the part of the "Good Samaritan," taking the child to her nome and ministering to its wants and later sending it to friends in Sigel, where a home has been found for it. We are without particulars regarding the parents of the child, but cannot imagine conditions that would relieve them of a charge of heartless and inhuman conduct, deserving of the severest Republican.

New System of Granting Permanent -Certifientes to Teachers. From a Staff Correspondent. Harrisburg, March -The legislaIture has been flooded with educational bills, and if one-third of them become flaws the school boards of the state will be continually in trouble. There are all sorts of measures from compulsory educaItion to a proposed act which provides for (the transporting of children to school at the expense of the districts. The bill was introduced by Mr.

Hermano of Somerset and was drawn by Mr. Schaefer, superintendent of public injetruction of Pennsylvania. It reads 2.3 follows: "That the school directors and controllers of any district by the affirmative votes of a majority of the board duly recorded on the minutes may provide transportation for the children at the expense of their respective districts to and from any school in the district in which the children have their residence or of neighboring districts when it shall be found that on account of great distance from or difficulty of access to the proper school house some of the children cannot otherwise attend school without great inconvenience. "Section 2. The expense incured in providing for transportation of school children under this act and the tuition for education when admitted to the schools of other districts shall be paid by the treasurer of the district in which the children have their place of residence upon the order of the proper board of directors or controllers, and no member of the board or other official of the township, borough or school district shall be a party to any contract or agreement with the board or receive any remuneration for services rendered to the district in conveying children to or from any school.

Provided, that the provisions of this net shall apply only to the pupils of schools which in the discretion of boards of school directors have been closed by reason of small attendunce." This bill is looked upon with favor by many of the country members. They argue it is a hardship for children in the rural districts to travel five or six mile: to school and for this reason many people lose an opportunity to get an education. The bill leaves a great deal of power with the school boards and there is a chance for them to make nice jobs for persons who would be employed to transport the children. Mr. Hawkins of York has a bill authorizing the board of directors or controllers of any school district to discontinue the use of public school houses for election purposes and regulating the fixing of new election places in such cases.

This measure is not to the liking of many country members. The bill was introduced and referred to the educational committee. That body negatived the proposed legislation and morning thought several it WAS members done were with. consider- Friday ably surprised to see the bill on the first reading calendar for that session. Members of the educational committee were hunted up and were charged with not having played fair.

The matter was looked into and it was found the bill had been introduced a second time, and had been sent to the judiciary local. That committee brought the bill out. It reads as follows: "That whenever the board of school directors or controllers of any school district wherein any public school house is used as a place for holding elections shall deem the holding of such elections therein detrimental to the efficiency of the school or schools therein said board may by resolution duly passed and entered on its minutes declare its refusal to' longer permit such elections to be held therein, after which no election shall be held in such school-house; Provided, such resolution shall not apply to any election to be held less than six months after the passage thereof. 9 Maid board shall. within thirty days from.

the passage of such resolution notify the county commissioners of the county in which said school district is located, or one of them, of their action, and give public notice of their said action by at least two insertions weekly in at least one newspaper published in said county. New election places in lieu of the ones so discontinued may be selected and fixed as now provided by law, but in no case no such place shall have been fixed by the court of quarter sessions of the proper county at least sixty days prior to the time of the first election to which said resolution shall apply, then it shall be the duty of the county commissioners to at once apply to said court or a law judge thereof for the fixing of A suitable place, whereupon the court or said law judge shall designate and fix such place other than a public school-house, as it shall deem proper for the purpose, and the commissioners shall make all necessary provisions for holding the elections at the place designated as now required by law. Mr. Smith of Bedford has the bill providing for the distribution of the common school appropriation. This measure has caused a.

whole lot of scrapping, and until it was amended the cities received the worst of it. It now reads as follows, and is considered a fairer bill: on and after June first Anno Domini, one thousand eight hundred and ninety-six, one-third of the money annually, appropriated for common schools distributed by this commonwealth shall be on the basis of the number of paid teachers regularly employed for the full annual term of the district, not including substitute teachers or teachers employed to All vacancies which may occur during the school year, for which the appropriation was made as shown in the last annual report of the superintendent of the varlous counties, cities and boroughs of this commonwealth. "Section 2. That the other two-thirds of the money so appropriated shall be distributed on the basis of the number of taxables as returned by the last triennial CHRISTY. STATE STORIES.

of Interest from Nearby Exchanges. Nir. James Hammond of Westmoreland has 8 permanent certificate bill which is lookked upon as a good thing, and has great possibilities of becoming a law. Mr. Hammond's bill is indorsed by the leading educatora of the state, and it is hoped it will cute a great injustice done to the better teachers of the state.

Under the present system of procuring a permanent certificate it is quite easy for anybody to get the paper. At the county institutes a committee of five on permanent certificates is appointed. The persons who are to be examined are always friends of the committee, and in many cases have secured copies of the questions to be examined upon before the examination takes place. It is claimed that if the applicants do not pass a creditable examination the papers are in many cases "doctored" up before they are sent to the superintendent of public instruction at Harrisburg. Everybody.

knows how these certificates are obtained now, and school directors do not look upon them with much favor. Mr. Hammond's bill provides that the permanent certificate examinations will be under the supervision of the superintendent of public instruction. This official will appoint 8. committee consisting of the commissioned county and city superinten dents of a county, and two other men whi cannot be residents Of the county.

In cases where there are no city superintendents the committees will have one member less. The superintendent of pullic instruction will furnish the committees with the lists of questions to be used. Members of the committees will be paid for their actual expenses in holding these examinations. The winter preceding the ice flood of 1837, we believe was the same year that a traveling menagerie wintered here, constating of amongst others an elephant, two camels (one of which died from havIns its lower jaw broken off by the elephant), one Bengal tiger, a lion and lionens a zebra, a black bear, a hyena and several monkeys. The whole caravan was quartered in a log structure that had been erected by one James Pinks as a carding machine building, on the corner of the alley where George R.

stable now stands. The night the elephant Brown's got on the rampage and injured the camel he palso killed one of the monkeys, broke outs of the building and took a stroll through the upper end of town or what wats then known as "Young Butler." It is sail he never stopped for fences, but just walked through them. It is further said but that he ate a statement, pile of hickory hoop-poles, this we believe, lacks verificastion. He was secured the next mornInge by his keeper without much trouble, MARCH BARGAINS -INOF FICEDESKS.

ALL READY FOR SPRING In Pittsburgh's Leading Merchant Tailoring Department-and That Is Kaufmann's. It is but fit and meet that Pittsburgh's foremost merchants and tailors should be ahead of all others in announcing their readiness for the spring season, and this readiness does not mean a trivial exhibition of a few pieces of cloth, but table after table of the finest English, Irish, Scotch, trouserings French and German suitings, and light weight overcoatings. imported expressly by Kaufmann's merchant tailoring department. Every one of the twenty-four working days of the month of February brought in more or less of these European importations, and commencing to-morrow all of them will be on display, ready for the inspection and selection of any gentleman who, with wise aforethought, will leave his measure early in the season and thus have the entire assortment to choose from.

In this connection it is not amiss to state that the high standard for fit and workmanship adopted by this merchant tailoring department in the past, will not maintained in the future but Improved upon wherever improvement is possible, and while the garments turned out will be as near perfection as the most skilled cutters and expert tailors can make them, the popular scale of prices will be- continued. As heretofore, $30, $35 and $40 will be the prices for suits to order, and $6, $8 and $10 for trousers to order, and these prices are guaranteed to be at least 25 per cent under those of other first-class tailors. Owing to the large and increasing number of friends and customers of Kaufmann's merchant tailoring department, the usual sending out of personal invitations has been considered too luborious and expensive, hence this method is employed to extend a cordial invitation to all to come and Tier the new stock of imported piece goods, whether wishing to leave their measure or not.
