The rain and snow of last week
mt n ouietus on potato planting.
MFR. Geo. Fife has finished the
now school bouse for. the Turkey
Run district. They have had no
school there this winter, but, we are
informed, will soon have summer
school.
The widow McCarty mourneth
again. The rats didn't eat ten bush
els of her corn in one night. She
says she knows the noxious nocturnal
nomads and will ''put the things on
'em." So look out, covetous cores.
The strife between our local pack
cts wakes hot. The extremely low
fare has given quite an impetus to
travel. Last Saturday one of them
landed sixteen and took on thirty pas
sengers at our landing; and it wasn't
"show day" either.
Mr.. Weed has wound up his broom
business, and will commence har-
ness making soon.

The "Home Literary Entertain-
ment," of Friday evening last, was
quite a success, and reflects great
credit upon both teachers and pupils.
Miss Flora Mauck played the part of
Mrs. farley with her wax works,
most charmingly. Without "hexag-
geration" we must say that her
"girl of the period'' came mon
strous near breaking our cart"
Everything went lovely till near the
close, when an appalling tragedy oc
Cured. d. b. Mauck deliberately,
and of malice aforethought, stabbed
s. w. Mauck to the heart with a
pen of gold, and drove it in with
copy Of Tupper's poems. Sig. never
spoke for full minute afterward.
The weapons were unwittingly pre-
pared by his admiring pupils.
Cheshire has three hostile cores
pondents for the Meigs County

dogs delight to bite" etc.
There is q lady in Cheshire town
ship, hale, healthy, hearty, and han

liaths?

Indiana, is about to purchase G. W.
Swanson's store. Mr.. j. came up on
the Hudson, and had the misfortune
to drop overheard his pocket book,
containing $S3, and a $4,000 check.
To cap the climax, he shot a duck,
and, instead of putting his revolver
in his pocket, he let it slip and it now
bears company with his wallet. He
says he don't go much on rudder
packets anyway.
The landlady of the st. Charles
says that the habit some people have
of jumping their bills is getting
monotonous. An early attention to
the above by certain parties may
save them some nOtoriety.
Look out for the man whose sub
soil garment futters in the gentle
breezes. 1t is BLK. He never
makes a rule of keeping it ''well
tucked in," except when in Cheshire.
And now SQUIBOB and DUNNO
will clasp hands over the bloodless
chasm; they will bury their little
hatchets. SQUIB pleads guilty to
fights, drunks, wounds, etc., all in
one week. Chambersburg, we pass.
DUNNO.
