PITT8T0N, PA Commission Merchants, We want to believe that story from a Peoria paper about Mr. Henry Bull, but it is hard, very hard to accept it with perfect confidence. Mr. Bull, it is alleged, was fed upon calomel and blue pills by the doctors for a number of years, so that finally he became ab • solutely saturated with quicksilver. The other duy, while he was standing by the side of the house, the sun suddenly came out bright and warm, and Bull began to ascend. He stopped, at the line of the sill of the second story window and hung there, suspended in space, until, a thunder storm happened to come up, which cooled the atmosphere, and then Mr. Bull slowly descended. Now he has a graduated scale marked 011 the gable end of his dwelling, and whenever Mrs. Bull wants to know how warm it is she ties flat iroiis to Henry's legs to hold him down, and walks him around to the gable end and cuts him loose and lets him rise to e'ghty or ninety degrees, and when she gets the information, she lassoes him with the clothes-line and hauls him down.
