PUCK. A circus performer who had daily permitted himself to be boosted out of a cannon by a light discharge, was recently shot through a netting and against a post, by an overload of powder. As soon as he gets his legs and arms out of slings, he will adopt a less dangerous feat—probably jump off the top of church- steeples, or stand on a railroad track and per- mit himself to be knocked off by a locomotive. —Norristown Herald. Seven intelligent boys met by appointment at the corner of Cass avenue and Joy street, yesterday noon, and were thus addressed by one who seemed be the chairman of the meet- ing: “Boys, we can’t have that rehearsal to-day. ‘The boy who was going to act the angel has got snow all the afternoon. ‘The boy who 10. a bank has got the toothache and is galloping around the house, and that ‘Third street boy who was going to rescue Pauline sassed his mother this forenoon, and got such a whaling that he couldn't rescue a stuffed dog. I expect to get walloped this afternoon for steal- ing sugar, and I guess we'd better not think of a tour to Europe with our ‘Three Women of Sandy Bar.’” ‘The other actors seemed agreed, and as they separated in different directions each boy ap- peared to fully realize how near he had come to making a path for Edwin Booth to travel in, call the reader's attention to the beautiful Re- naissance style of architecture of the King’s appellation—a sort of four-storied name, with balustrade, battlements, foliations and crenal- ated. mouldings—and a cellar under the whole, within five minutes walk of the railway station. —WNorristown Herald.

The full metal frames of cupola shape, possess an unequaled degree of resistance, permitting a vastly in- creased tension of strings without the slighest danger of break or crack in said metal frames, thereby considerably increasing the vibratory power, and augment- ing the lasting qualities of their instruments.”” FIRST GOLD MEDAL OF HONOR, PARIS, 1867.
