= A Duncannon Mans Ride" On We'd
nesday afternoon of last week, skifr
occupied by Il single passenger, and
nearly filled with water, came along
shore. The man stepped out and the
water was bailed out. 1t was an ordinary
two Dared skiff and the brave passenger
was Mr.. Owen Ashton, of Duncannon,
Pa.
Mr.. Ashton is carpenter by trade,
but for some time past was fireman on
the Pennsylvania railroad. Having
been offered employment at his old
trade in Smedley's Columbia Agricul-
tural works, he accepted and prepared
to come. But he was at the same time
owner of pretty little sllifI, and he
wanted to bring it with him. Thinking
that the most natural way to get skiff
down was by water, he launched his
frail bark at $3.50, Wednesday morning,
and started on his perilous journey, not
withstanding high river and high
wind-the latter blowing at hurricane
speed. The skiff was carried along,
sometimes at startling rate, by wind
and current, waves breaking over it, and
sometimes nearly filling it.
The most thrilling part of the trip
was the passage through Conewago falls,
which are nearly milelong. The spray
was almost binding, and drenched him
like a June rain storm. After the
passage he was obliged to bail out his
boat. From there to Columbia the
journey was devoid of special interest
or incidentexcept the run through the
Chickies rapids. He arrived safely at
shore at Columbia, tired and hungry,
about three o'clock in the afternoon,
making the trip of nearly forty-five
miles in less then seven hours. 1t was
a perilous journey by brave fellow
and it will always possess a lively
interest for Columbia Star.

On Thursday afternoon, Mr.. Edward
Sharpe, formerly clerk in Greesaman
Il Co.'s store, but now living in Oakville,
met with serious accident, that may
result in the loss of an arm. 1t seems
the young man was shooting a cat with
a pistol, and after discharging one load
at the feline, reloaded his pistol, but
the second charge falling to explode,
Sharpe made an, examination of the
pistol to see what was the matter, when
the charge went Oft, whilst one of his
hands was over the muzzle. The charge
passed through his hand, up the forearm
coming out near the elbow. AT our
latest accounts it was impossible to tell
whether any of the bones were injured,
but little hopes are entertained for saw
ing the arm.
