TO Our FRIENDS IN THE COUNTRY

To Our FRIENDS IN THE COUNTRY
For the purpose of making the columns
of our paper a perfect transcript of matters
of interest transporting in this County, we
respectfully solicit The aid of our rural
friends. With an exchange We may re-
mark tina; matters are occurring every
day that possess local interest, which, if
we could be furnished the particulars, we
could dress up for our columns, and thus
give them an interest heretofore unthOughl
of. Its impossible for US to be every.
where-to be here. in our office, attending
TO our business, and at the same time ia
king an editorial observation over each
District. But, if some friend in each Dis
,rict, would spend half an hour as occa-
sion NAV demand in writing US letter,
stating concisely what has occurred in his
neghborhood, we would then be able each
week to spread The same before our read
ers. We think we hear several who
read this article respond, "Bui, am not
competent to write for the Press" &C..
&c. We do not ask you 10 write for the
press-we only want you TO write 10 us
when anything new occurs in your neigh
borhood-and out Of the information thus
furnished we will prepare II FOR the press.
II your neighbor Jones, or Smith, or
Brown, breaks his leg, disables himself
with his moving machine, OF has his
barn, or house, or anything else struck
with lightning, write US the particulars.
II Browns unruly bull chases Smiths
children, and scares them "out of a years
growth" write TO US, so that we may

necessity of keeping vicious animals Sc
cure. II some foolish msanthrope, tired
OF life, shuttle off this mortal coil without
the help Of a physical or the benefit OF
clergy, we want TO know it, for of such
paragraphs are newspapers made. In
short, whatever occurs in your neighbor
hood. give us the particulars and we'll
make a note OF it.

The Rival Rope Walkers.

Rochester Democrat
De Lave appeared a, 4 o'clock precise
lly, having strapped on his back chair
and salver, upon which were lot OF
small cakes which were TO serve as his
lunch. He Immediately took up his pole
and started out. When about the middle
of the chasm he stopped and sat down.
Taking the chair from his back, he adJus'
ted it on the rope. seated himself in it,
and composedly ale up the cakes from the
salver. which lay in his lap during the
operation.
Having concluded his meal, he threw

Horrible Case of standardization.

One of the most horrible cases or sell
mulilalion we have ever heard of or read
Of occurred a, a rolling mill in Centre
county, Pa, last week. The particulars
of the case, which we DO not think has a
parallel on record, are as follows
"A young man named Aaron lrely, who
had recently been pardoned out OF the
pcnienliary, where he was confined Tor
horse stealing, bad been hanging around
the rolling mill for several days. Moth
ing unusual was observed in his demean-
or. On Wednesday morning, soon after
the works were started, he deliberately
walked TO the large iron shears. and be-
fore any one was aware Of his design
placed his arms between the blades, both
Of which were completely severed about
midway between the hands and elbows
The horrible act was performed SO
cody and deliberately that no Suspicion
was entertained Of his design. when
questioned as to his motive for the sell
mutila,ion, he replied that "his hands had
been the means of sending him TO the pen,
ilenlary once, and he was determined
they should never ge. him into trouble
again" He was taken to a nelghborIng
house and physician sent for, who re-
ampu,ated both his arms-an operation
which he is said to have borne with sio'
icism and Indifference that aslenlshed all
who Witnessed it. He is recovering rapid
ly, and manifests the utmost unconcern ioI
the loss of his arms.

,lau 10 see The ihing lhrongh.

STAY TO see The thing through.
Blondin, not TO be oxcelled, astonlshec
the natives by taking a night walk. which
is thus described by the Buffalo Courier
Blondn dressed himself IN linen suit
with his balancing pole, to which he had
attached some brilliant lights Of various
coors, and then sending forth a rocket
which pierced far into the deep blue, he
proceed rapidly down the rope, and was
distinctly visible upon either side. I'm
fortunately the light upon one end OF the
pole became detached and fell into the
river. The sight was not so pretty as IT
would have been had not dis occurred.
When about midway he took seat 10
rest, or perhaps gel better view of the
scene. Not satisfied with beholding
things above and around him, he finally
inverted himself and looked down into the
water. 1t was so dark, We think, he do
not see much. Standing on his head at
night on rope over the chasm Of Niagara
must be sport ! Arising he passed on
Soon after the other lgh, fell from his
pole, and Blondin was left in imPenelroble
darkness. Above, around, beneath, all
was dark.
Nothing more was heard or seen OF
him until a shout from the opposite shore
announced that he had safely crossed the
food. At little after, he started on his
return, surrounded with fireworks, con-
sisting of Roman candles which gave
pleasing appearance. He was literally
en-, eloped in a blaze. When about md
way, he lald down his pole, and stood
up erect-invered. Then he suspended
himself below The rope by the heels, and
there he remained drumming on his chest
until his campfres were eXHngulshed.
There he was left as before, in utter dark
ness. A live Yankee, who was standing
by, said he wondered if he would "siay
there alters"
A shout on the bank announced his safe
arrival home. Thus ended NJ. BIondln s.
mig t-walking.

Ii is questionable whether this expires
sion is not older than Lotteries. NheIh-
err the invention Of Lotteries was not sug-
gested by the complexed and mysterious
unroldngs Of the events Of life, and the
varied gifts and blessings scattered upon
the human family. No better or truer
figure could probably be made than that
of the great wheel turned by an impartial
hand, and each ones fortune represented
in the number drawn. We present to
