Brown, of Clarion and Brookville, had a large portion of (he insurance in PunxSutawney at the time of our great fire of 1 *86 and it is not flattery to lay that their adjustments were prompt and satisfactory. Every loss was aettled and paid by sight drafts, over $30,000 being paid by their companies within 60 days after the fire. That fire did not discourage them and they have written most of the new buildings and stocks. Their busi nesi has increised so much that they have opened an office in Punxsutawney, in Iront room of second story of John Zeitler block, and placed Walter S. Brown, one of the brothers, in charge. Their line comprises the largest and best companies doing business iu (.he l/'nit'M .States 16 29 Til* VJlu Compound* Tliut Am Used In tli« I'ract ice. According to Medical Classics recent analyses have shown that the preparations (or bleaching tho hair "to tho delicate golden shade so much admired by the court circles of Europe ami the best society of the United States," to quote frutn a label on one of tho bottles, all depend upon tho discolor* ing and corrosive influence of nascent oxygen or nascent chlorine. The basis used In the various nostrums f- r t'.iU purpose are peroxide of hydrogm, aqua regia and bronzers1 acid, Feruxido of hydrogen 1* the mildest and most innocuous of the trio named. It is a colorless liquid which destroys tho naturul color of tho hair, and which, if used long enough, turns it an unnatural grayish while. It is rather expensive, and it is therefore used much less than tho two other acids. Ii produces sores upon tho scalp and gives rise to skin complaints tlmt resemble teller, sail rheum and scald-head. Tho two acids are equally vile. They attack and eat the hair and skin alike. The former they partly bleach and partly burn,to a haiutsomo gold color; tha latter they stain to abou tho same luto as does a light application of iodine. Besides the dermatologio troubles named, they cause maladies hardly distinguishable from eczema and erythema. One curious disease that they cause is an inflammation of the cells of the hair follicles. The cellular walls break down, and lymph, and often blood, is cxtravasatcd in nppr< civile quantities. All three bases produce falling out of tho hair and prematuro baldness. ATTOBNEY-AT-LA W, BaooKTiij.1, Pa oe with Judge Jeska. Legal buaineaeoareattended to. rARD A.

Erwin Davis is ■ he capitalist who sc successfully triod to sell his gallery of paintings some months ago at fancy upset prices. Ho is a smarter financier than picture seller. About two years ago lio happened to learn that tha second mortgage bonds of the Rli 1-mctid & Alleghany Railroad Company could bo purchased at a very low figure. Davis has a yearuiiyr for ft low-priced railroi.d boud. He looked into tho matter and found thattho company had defaulted oil tho interest, and was apparently goin" to wreck and ruin. Ho bought the em ire issue, 000,000, from 'ho disgusted holders at 10 cents on tho dollar. That was an investment of 1200,000. Being interested in the road ho now insinuated himself into the management and very soon ho controlled tho board of directors. Ho so worked things that an entire reconstruction of ths road seemed imperatively necessary. Ho then invited tho attention of llr. Huntington to tho fact that his Chesapenko & Ohio system would not bo complete without tha Richmond & AUoghany. Huntington ana Davis put their heads together and tho r»- suit was a ninety-nine-year lease of t1}0 Davis road to tho Huntington system, the second inortgago bonds being guaranteed* per cent, interest, which makes their market value SO cents on tho dollar.

Many threats were made and more than one combat took place, but the editor came' out ahead, and always stuck to tho paragraph in his salutatory, which read: "Our course is marked out. Wo will ndlfcro to it with steadfast and lixed determination to speak, write and publish tho truth, and nothing but the truth, let it work us wea' or woe." It was just about this timo that Hon. Joseph Wolff, of Boulder, Col., who was a good printer and a handy man about an office, arrived from Omaha via a freight train. He was dead broke, and ho maj| »i cvce for the News pffice and asked fofWie boss. Byers, seated On a barrel, was pointed out to him. "Want any hands!" asked Joe, leaning against tho door. "That depends," said Byers, without look ing up. "Depends on what!" "Can you shoot!" "You bet." "Will you ?" "Of course." WESTERN JOURNALISM. Tha Hardship* Eadurnl by the Pioneer Editor of Colorado. When William N. Byera, the Colorado pioneer of journalism, first started in to print the Rocky Mountain News he hod a firetty tough time of it, and experiences ively enough to suit a Uto Indian agent, say» the New York Graphic. News was plentiful enough, and It was not generally supposed that the press wouldl make any editorial attacks upon the  of Auraria, as Denver was then called; sdl one day when Byers found fault editorially' with the killing of a Mexican by Charles! Harrison, a gambler, the latter's friendsJ full}' armed, gathered about and made an} attack upon the log house occupied by th«* Hews. Tho editor and his reporters andt type-setters were so surprised at tho sud-< denness of the attack that they did not have time to make any resi9tanoe. I Editor Byers was taken a captive to Har-t rison's saloon, called the "Criterion." Thel crowd wanted to kill him on the spot, and! knives and pistols wero flourished in his! face. Harrison had once been a Mason, and| knew that Byers was a member of the fra-j ternity; so, 'under tho pretense of taklngj him into a sido room to talk, he got him out» of the place altogether. i Byers was plucky enough, for he ran for his office, and, arming all hands, laid low for the enemy, who came fast enough, and a lively combat took place and one man was killed.

GORDON, Still again, a clever Boston girl had undertaken tho task of instructing a pewful of newsboys, bootblacks and telegraph messengers, and the lesson chanced to bo upon tho raising of Lazarus. Taking into account the fact that tho boys knew of the telegraph, and finding that it was very hard to interest them, she turned the talk to electricity by asking if thero was any way in which tho dead could bo raised to life, and going on to say that there had been peoplo who believed that it could be done by electricity. She found that sho had at last gained their attention, and, dreading to lose it again, sho went on a little with her talk about the force and its manifestations. The boyalistencd intently, and presently ono of tho dirtiest and most reprehensible of tho gang gave a hitch to his ragged trousers, expressive of satisfaction and interest. "Well, now," ho said, "we'ro learnin' suthin'." "My father drinks." Tho unwary teacher falling into tl ' rap, began to talk to tho class of the < . of intemperance, and of how much little J ulmny was to bo pitied for having a father who was given to tho dreadful habit of intcmperai.ee. She waxed eloquent and spoko at considerable length, secretly feeling that she had never done better and that sho must surely make an impression upon her pupils. And then when sho had mado an end cf speaking and all the class wero supposed to be in an eminently edified condition of mind littlo Johnny finished his sentenco with an air so innocent as to deceive, if it wero possible, even tha very elect. "My father," ho said, "drinks water." And he smiled confidingly Into the face of his teacher as if ho wero sure of her approval and as if ho enjoyed tho approval of a clear conscience, as indeed very likely be did. i On another day when a tcachcr was endeavoring to impress upon a class of newsboys the beauty of righteousness and to give them some sort of a leaning toward the paths of decency, sobriety and godliness. an impudent, saucy-faced youngster, known among his companions as "Bully Bam," leaned forward and, holding out to her a battered nickel which had the general appearance of having been run over by a horse-car, observed: "I say, now, I'll givo you that to stop." It may be judged how much effect the lesson had after that. MISSION SUNDAY SCHOOLS. ■UU WlU About IItill. A PImvb Where One NeeiU to Keep A1I If there U any place where one needs to keep all his wits about him it is in tho mission Sunday-school, says tho Boston Courier. Tho urchins who aro there gathered together have no reverence for either things sacred or things profane, and they are ready to question any thing and everything said to them with a frankness and a boldness which is eminently disconcerting to any one not accustomed to this sort of thing. They aro not above playing tricks aDd laying snares for their teachers.
