Although you do not hear from us very often, we are still in the ring aud flourishing. The Business department has lost one of its most promising students, in the person of Joel C. Mayer, who has gone into the grocery business. Extensive improvements are being made in the Assembly bail. A new stage has been built, and scenes are now being painted which, when com pleted will be one of the most thoroughly equiped stageB in the city. A beginning class has been formed in the Music department which meets in the Assembly hall on Friday evenlugs. ThiB affords an excellent opportunity to learndlments of music and singing An entertainment will be give on February 10, Saturday evening, by the student of the Academy. The pro gram will contain a choice selection, consisting of dialogue, recitations, mu sic both voeal and lnstrumental, etc. The proceeds will go toward defraying the expenses which have been incurred in building the new stage. Be sure to come and tell your friends. Y. Z. Fatially Burned. Last eveulng the 2-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. C. E. Hawkins was play- ig in the siting room with a whisk broom. Tlie child's grand mother went out of the room for a moment, but was quickly recalled by the screams of the other children. It was found that the boy had stuck the whisk broom into the stove and had set it no fire and had also ignited his clothing, so that he was euveloped in flames. The fire was quickly ex tinguished, wheu It was found that the child's face, body Hud arms were frightfully burned. Dr. J. P. Wallace was called and did all he could to re lieve the child's suffering, which was intense. It was feared he had iuhaled some of the flames, and the physician thought the burns were of themselves so severe that tlie ehild could uot re cover. Herald.

Tha Very Latest Fad Is for ' Bleached Bivalves. Wlitts Onl Are iTnlwlilr Doctored Ots tMnn Who Onf:)it to Know Say Thoy Are Mythloftl foitore'i Own Shell fish Not to Be Improved Upon. "Bleached oysters" Is the latest and a rapidly growing fad. The fashionable uptown restaurants are catering to it. An oyster that docs not peer forth snowy white from thednpthof itS'Shdl is considered bad form. It does not appear that the Aibino-hucd bivalve is improved by the blanching process. In fact, it is held by all fair-minded people who have tried them that the flavor which gives our oysters their superiority over all the bivalves of tho world is destroyed entirely. But they are said by self-constituted anthori tites to look better, and it is the fashion to have them served that war. The course of treatment to which the luscious shellfish is subjected to bringa about the pale and ghostly hue i s the secret of the restaurant men. The wholesale oyster dealers know .inthing about it. A reporter for the New York World went aboard a floating warehouse, on the North river, the other day, and made an inquiry as to the best method of blanching oysters. It wasapparent that oystermcn do not relish the news paper notoriety which has been thrust upon the innocent and inoffensive lihcllfish. "If f could meet the man who start ed all this talk about typhoid fever and malaria in oysters," said one old salt, 'I'd chuck him in the bay and hit him on the head with a boathook when he came up the first time, and there wouldn't be no second time. "As if it ain't bad enough that this has been one of the worst oyster years we ever had, but on top of that some crazy fool up in Connecticut tries to fatten his oysters in a creek into which a sewer empties. What's the result? A lot of college students and professors get sick and four of them die. What follows? The newspapers publish it all over the country, typhoid fever in oysters, and the business is almost par alyzed in some places. Forty million people eating oysters and four of them .Tet sick and die! How many people die very day from eating pork and beef, -yet does that scare anybody? No, sir. "Now, on top of all this, some fool restaurant men go to making their y:iters white, which God never intend i they should be, or He would have made 'em so. I don't suppose that the oysters were hurt any by it, but some fellow gets sick, after knocking about the Tenderloin all night, and remem bers that he ate a dozen bleached oy sters, and then he hollers that he has been poisoned. "Some one writes to a newspaper thrft! sulphate of zinc will bleach an oyster. I don't know whether it will or not, but a chemist told' me that it wopld noti-.But the oyster trafle gets it hi the neck all the same. Thank goodneSB tnai mese stories uid not fret out two months ago. or the oystermen would all be in the hands of the asso ciated charities. Our season is over for cheap oysters, in which the money ir, mude. Nothing goes out of New York now but shell oysters, New Yorlr counts, and culls. The oyster Imsineu. after the middle of November goes to Daltiinore. There are no oyster can neries in New York. "This fad for white oysters I never heard of before this year. There are no pure white oysters. The oyster U:kes his color from his surroundirijrs aud an old oysterman can tell ut a giunce which one of the beds here;1, bouts an oyster comes from. The Uluc Point is often silvery in appearance. There is no way that I know of to make an oyster white. "When the weather is not too cold oysters, after being taken up, are sunk on floats for from, twelve to t-.vcuty-four hours in brackish water, jfnerally near the mouth of a fresh-water creek. This water they will drink freely cud fill up so that they look fat. This has the effect of washing out the sea water and mud that mav have been taken in. 1 know every oyster bed in New York bay, Long Island sound, or the rivers of New Jersey, and I know of no oyster that is what you might call white. Personally, I would let such alone if offered me. "Nature cannot be improved upon in the matter of the oyster, except to give it a chance to wash out and futten up on some half-salt water. Wheu tho people understand that the bleached oysters are unnatural and artiiicial they will become suspicious of them and be satisfied with the plain, un bleached variety." The Soko Ape. Letters from the African traveler. Oscar Neumann, at Bukoba, says the I .ondon News, contains many interest ing things that Neumann learnt from the Manyemas. One is that the Boko ape is very common and much feared i;i Manyameland, between Nyangwe (jid the northern shore of the 'fang i. jyika. Some time ago un Arab wanted to take a Soko which he had captured to the coast. He succeeded in reaching Ugogo with his prize. There he died, und his sons, who attributed the death of their father to the enehantments of the wicked wood demon, hustened to retransport tholt .upposed origin of their misfortune to i'ts native place, aud the interesting specimen was thus lost to science.

Last Friday evening, Mr. Heurn, of Sweet Home, came into Lebanon and swore out a warreul before Justice Lovelee for the arrest of Attorney A. F. Stowe. Constable Morgan proceeded to Albany to arrest Stowe; but, on ar riving there, found that be had gone to Salem. Morgan followed him there, made the arrest, brought him back to Albany on Sunday, and out here Mon day morning. When Mr. Stowe was brought before Justice Lovelee, he waived examina tion and was bound over to appear be fore the grand jury iu 500 bonds. In default of which he is now in the county jail. Facts in the case are about these: Mr. Hearn placed a Rote in Stowe's bands for collection. ' Stowe collected the note, $140, and instead of turning tbe money over to Mr. Hearn, as he should have done, got ou a spree and spent it. Although Mr. Hearn waited two weeks on Mr. Stowe, he could not re place the money. Mr. Stowe arrived in this city four years ago this last fail and commenced J rr.. t4' ine praeiice oi law. xiu is u uiuu ui some ability and makes friends when sober. He has drank more or less ever since he has been in this jity. He has reformed several times since lie has been here, once taking tbe Keeley cure, on-w joining tue , Stettioaesi church and again professing reiegion at the Presbyterian church. He has an estimable wife and two bright chil dren. His wife has been forced to leaye him several times. The lust time was in the fall, wheu she applied for a divorce. If reports are true, thisls not the first time Mr. Stowe has misauppropriated his clieut's money. If some one does not go to his relief, he will more than proberably get a few years to repent in, at Salem. The people of Lebanon have been exceedingly kind to Mr. Stowe and have aided him in eveiy way to reform and make a successful man of himself, but these efforts have not been appreciated by him, The W.

There is only one way to cure Deafnsis, and that It by constitutional remedies, Deafness is caused by an inflamed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tub. When this tube gets inflamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and unless the inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to its normal condi tion, hearing will be destroyed forever; ninecaseaoutof ten are caused by catarrah.
