told that she stopped at one Of our
stores and bought nice alpaca dress,
then went on little ways and called
At house and asked to be kept over
night, stating that she had no money
and had been turned out Of the Inn
in consequence. The fact was she
had not been to the Inn at al. Well,
the people where she stopped could
not keep her, and SO they gave her
money enough to pay her fare at q
neighbours little further on. To this
last place she went telling the same
story as before, and the people there
took pity on her and let her stay.
Next morning, after breakfast, she
left without even thank you, only
still de laring she had no money.
She omitted to mention the amount
given her by the kind people she first
called on. 1t is confidently stated
that she never had any husband,
which accounts for her anxiety to get
rid Of her child.

AM OLD PRACTICE REyIvED.-Mr.
John Dorcas, vino lives near Upton,
says he allows his land to rest, after
the manner Of the Jews, every seven
years. This he does on what Is popu-
iarly known as the wet year. He
owns four hundred acres Of land, and
he, though having large family Of
sons, has not plowed furrow for corn
or small grain. The seventh year he
deyotes to building and repairing
fences, planting trees, and other i'm
provemsnts, which are, to great ex-
tent, neglected during the six years Of
extensive farming. After the 4th Of
July he begins to pillow the heavy crop
OF weeds under before they 60 to seed.
Thus enriching and resting his land,

SINGULAR ACCIDENT.-The Bedford
County (Pa.) Press gives an account OF
. singular phenomenon by which a
team Of horses belonging to Joseph
Boor, Of Snake Spring Valley, two
miles above Bedford, were suddenly
swallowed up by apparently solid
ground. Mr.. Boor formerly lived in
this township. and the two boys al
luded to are his twin sons, born here
about fifteen years ago:
The sons of Mr.. Boor were haul
ing rails from piece OF woodland,
when the ground suddenly caved in
and one Of the horses going down car
ried the other along. The aperture
through which they passed was barely
large enough to admit of their bodies.
Ropes were procured, and several gen.
tlemen descended into the cavern.
One horse was found lodged about
twenty feet from the surface, at point
where the cavity changed direction,
but the other was nowhere to be seen.
The first animal was lifted from his
position, and search made for the
other. the body Of which waa finally
found about thirty feet further under
ground. The extent of the opening
has not been ascertained, but from the
indications it seems almost bottomless.
The fact that the same spot has been
driven over for years and. no sign Of
such an extensive opening discovered
until now is most strange

WILTON, being only half mile
from the Cedar county line, came
pretty near being Cedar county town,
and although not meaning to be COW
etous in an unscriptural sense, we
could wish 1t was situated few hun
dred rods further to the northward.
A short visit there the other day
showed Wilton to be full of the busy
hustle Of railway junction, which
has been increased since the c., II. I.
p. began running regular trains from
Davenport through to Lesvenworth
Vid the southwestern road. From one
to four trains, either passenger or
freight, are at The depot almost con-
stantly, and the scream Of the locomo-
tive, with which we IN Upton are so
willing to be deafened, has become an
almost constant accompaniment to the
busy sounds of life" ut Wilton.
A call at the Chronicle Office found
the genial proprietors, Messrs. Baker

They were well satisfied with the

Chronicle establishment decidedly in

Several new buildings, some of them
substantial business blocks, were in
process Of erection. Mr.. J. l.. Reed,
the well known banker and stock
buyer, was just making an imp rove
ment by having the fine rooms " hich
are occupied by his bank very arti stic-
ally frescoed by competent artists from
New York. When completed, they
will probably compare favorably with
any rooms used for like purpose in
the State.
Mr.. K. w. Clark, formerly Of the
ADVERTISERS but now mail agent on
the c., r. 1. 4 p, was well met, and
found to be busily engaged in spend
ing his spare time and stamps in the
erection Of pleasant and commodi-
Gus dwelling. A pleasant call was al
80 made at the Office OF Mr.. VIM. Kin
sey, young lawyer who. just gradua-
ted from the law department Of the
State University, has won both respect
and confidence during the few months
which have seen his :. .shiDgle" dis
played in Wilton.

depot, is not kept by old Father Time
himself, but by one OF his division
