The editor of the Star takes pleasurein acknowledging an invitation to bepresent at the celebration of the 223thanniversary of the founding of the gov-ernment

¬

of the city of Pennsylvania-the occasion being from the 4th to the10th of October The invitation is anelaborate work of art On the left cor ¬

ner is the well known picture of Will-iam

¬

Penn making a treaty with theIndians Following is a home a schoolhouse and the city market with its in ¬

dispensable town pump On the right-is a picture of the younger Penn be ¬

neath the United States flag and tha-tan the colony Underneath this Is a

of the present twenty milliondollar city hall building Philadelphia-will cover herself with glory next week

George Blitch the pleasant gentle ¬

man that presides over the cash of theCommercial Bank knows all about

pumping nickles as his little nieceterms the counting of silver coin butwhen it comes to counting snakes hefinds it a different proposition Theother morning as he was going to openhis collar box for a collar and gener-ally

¬

he can get the one he wants with ¬

out looking in the box but on this oc-

casion¬

he looked ere he reached andit was a good thing he did for judgehis surprise tosee a good sized snakenicely coiled within the box The un ¬

expected sight so unnerved him thathe had to call Mr Roland Blitch foraid to dispatch the reptile

THOMAS J OWEN

The folovlrg account of the burial-of the late Thomas J Owen of thistiny appeared in the South Deerfield-

N H Press and will be of interest-to our people among whom lie livedso long and was highly esteemed Aprivate funeral service was held overthe remains of Mr Owens body inBoston for the comfort and consola ¬

tion of his sister Mrs Hewitt who I

was unabl to accompany the remains-to their last resting place because ofthe sorrow that had come upon herby the recent drath of her little boyThe Press says

It had been planned that bear meatshould be a part of the feast but thetwo black bears captured sometime-ago and fattened on nuts for the oc ¬

casion calmly looked on at the feast-of which they were to have been apart They were chained to a table atwhich the candidate stood to eat hisbread and meat and drink hot coffeeThe bears were saved because of thesentiment that it would never do tohave the candidate eat up the realTeddy bears as they were designated-by a large sign over them-

baths a commodious diningroom asalon and a readingroom The latter I

three apartments combined with awide hall can be turned into a ball ¬

George C Taylor built the Najmeseveral years ago from plans drawn brhimself The Najmes lines were firststaked off with ropes on the lawn ofthe millionaires Long Island estateHe employed expert craftsmen en-gaged

¬

I from abroad to carry out hisideas They were instructed to deferfrom even driving a nail unless if waswith the sanction of Mr Taylor orBetsy Head Shipbuilders estimate-the cost of the Najme at more than

200000When the boat was finished Mr

I Taylor found he could not get it tothe bay to launch He had a canaldug from the lawn to the inlet a dis-tance

¬

of half a mile and in this man-ner

¬i floated the boat It was mooredI to a dock at the end of the canalI after one trial trip and thereafter wasj never used Betsy Head it was said

in the neighborhood had tired of theI costly whim in which she had been In-

dulged¬

by the eccentric millionaireThe houseboat was kept ready for occuparcy nevertheless but only a fewp < isonal friends of Mr Taylor werepel mitted to go on board
