A NOTED CHARACTER GONE.
, John McCullough Dead.
k
John McCullough, the actor, dieu
at his residence, in Philadelphia on
Monday last. Mr. McCullough’s
death, although not entirely unex
pected. occurred quite suddenly, a.:d
was due to “an affection of the brain
Caused bv blood poisoning.” Dr.
Engel asserts that Mr. McCullough
was not insane, and that it was a
mistake to have placed him in the
Bloomingdale Insane Asylum, where
he was confined for a number of
weeks. llis failing mental powers
were first noticed in the early part of
January, 1884, and April of that year
he made a lamentable failure of 1 Oth
ello” in Washington. After that, bis
ailment manifested itself at various
times in the loss of memory ; the
prompter at times being obliged to
follow him about the stage. In the
summer of 1884 lie spent some time
in Carlsbad, Germany, and returning
to this country in August, lie played
a five night engagement in Milwauk
ee. Thence he went to Chicago,
where lie appeared on the stage for
the last time in his life on the night
of September 29 1884, in the char
acter of Spattacus in the “Gladia
tor.” Ilia condition that night was
so bad that the curtain was rung
down at the end of the second act.
From that time he has gradually
grown worse, occisionally mending
slightly, but at all times his condit
ion was considered hopeless by his
friends He was brought to Phila
delphia Sunday night, October 25
and taken to the residence of his
family, where he died. At that time
he recognized no one, not even his
wife or his two sons, and had no
control of his muscles. He regained
the use of his limbs slowly, and in a
few days was able to raise himself
to a sitting posture. He continued
in about this same condition until
his death.
From Loose To Tight.
The new law requires that a mar
riage license must be obtained from
the Clerk of the Courts in the county
where the marriage is performed. A
party cannot be legally married
in Chester county on a license ob
tained in auother county. Clergy
men and Justices should be aware of
this point of law— Oxford Press.
[lt used to be an easy matter to
get married in Pennsylvania but,
that is all changed, and now it is
most difficult. Wonder, has a license
to be procured when the ambitious
young couple ‘‘pass meeting” and
are married by the rules of the Soci
ety ? It is too bad, if after having
told the old folks too, weeks ago. and
asked them if they had any object
ion to the silken bands, to have to
journey to the county seat and tell
the clerk all about it. What is to be
come of the romantic runaway match
business ? Youug Lochinvar’s occu
pation seems to be gone.]
Mr. Gough on Silk Hats.
'■lt would bo no violation of the commandment,
■ said John B. Gough, "if a man were to tall down
* and worship the silk hat, for it is not made in the
* likeness of anything in heaven, or on earth, or in
* the waters which are under the earth.” Besides
it heats the head aud causes the hair to fall off.

A Hay Swindler.
A swindler caldng himself E. L.
drown of the firm of E. L. Brown &
Co., from Reading, practiced a little
game on a number of farmers in the
lower edge of Chester county, in the
neighborhood of Nottingham. lie
engaged hay of farmers, promising to
pay a high price for the same w her.
delivered on the cars. He filled out
his own manifest and forwarded it to
the agent at the shipping point, ex
pecting the hay to bn forwarled.
Campbell, Carter & Co., sold to the
bold cheat, but the game was discov
ered, and none of the hay forwarded
that we learn of. The swindler was
conveniently absent when the hay
was loaded on the cars. The fraud
was discovered by the freight agt. in
Baltimore telegraphing to Notting
ham to know why two cars that he
had received manifests for, had not
been forwarded. By this time the
rogue had cut sticks.
Soils and Manure.
“We often hear that such a soil will
leach. It wi'l be found only those
soils with sandy, gravelly, porous
nature of which this can be s iid - said,
too, under long standing misappre
sion. 1 am certain they leach upward,
not downward.”
We clip the above from an ex
change and caution our readers
against all such false teaching, lie is
“certain they leach upward.” Why
certain? He goes on at considerable
length to tell, but proves that it is all
theory and guess work. On the other
hand Laws and Gilbert, of Rotham
stead England, haye instituted exten
sive experiments to ascertain this
fact, bv placing recehers below the
surface and analyzing their
and by this means clearly proved that
the most valuable constituents of ma
nure were carried down by tfie w<ter.
The leaching is always downward and
never upward unless under the rays
of a very hot summer sun. when the
soil is wholy’ unprotected by any veg
etable matter as a covering, or whose
roots furnish a store housefor garner
ing up the so'uble material as disen
tegration advances under the action
of heat and moisture.
“What’s the Matter With you?”
“Well not much in particular. But
I’m a little ailing all over. I don’t
sleep well, and my kidneys are out of
order, and I can’t enjoy my men's, and
I’ve a touch of rheumatism, and once
in a while a twinge of neuralgia.” Now
neighbor, you seem to want a general
fixing up, and the thing to do it is
Brown’s Iron Bitters. Mr. A. J. Pick,
rell, of Ennis, Texas, says. “I was a
sickly man. Brown’s Iron Bitters made
me healthy and strong.”
Hail road Hews.
The latest news in railroad affairs
is, that the Pennsylvania and B. & O.
R. R’s have patched up a peace and
that the passenger trains of the latter
will be running over the P. W. & B.
again next month.
A Wonderful Discovery.
Cir-'umptives and all. who suffer from any
affection of the Throat and Lungs, can find
a certain cure in Dr. King’s New Discov
ery for Consumption. Thousands of pirma
nent cures verify the truth of this state
ment. No medicine can show such a record
of w mderful cures. Thousands of once
hopeless sufferers now gratefully proclaim
they owe their lives to this New Discovery.
It will cost you nothing to give it a trial.
