and yezrs, a native of Milford township,
was in good health on the morning of the
4th of July, and attended to some farm
work till about noon, when he came to the
house and lay down, as he frequently did
at that hour. He had not reclined long
till Mrs. McCrum heard him make pecu-
liar noise. Fastening to him, she found
him dying. His remains were buried in the
Presbyterian graveyard adjacent to this
town, on Saturday. He was born August
lst, 1892.
On the 9th ult. Levi Zook, residing one
mile west of McVeytown, got on Pacific
westward bound, at Lesistown, with tick
ct for McVeytuwn. By soma means the
conductor of the train missed Zook, did not
get his ticket, and of course did not know
that the train should be stopped at McVey-
town. When Zook realized that the train
would not stop at McVeytown but was hur-
rying by, he ran out of the cars on to the
platform and from the platform sprang off
the train. The result was dreadful for Mr..
Zook. His head evidently came first into
contact with the ground, for his skull was
fractured and the brain exposed.
This, from the Lewistown Ga=ette, ex-
plains itself: ' Richart Henry, Henry Gull
bertson and George Oromiller have been out
in the mountains near Penn's creek making
shingles, and have also had an adventure
with a panther. One night, recently, while
occupying their cabin, the animal was at
articles kept in box at the spring made a
meal on two loaves of bread and ham. 1t
was so well pleased with these that it re-
turned next night and came so close to the
horse that he made unmstakable signs of
alarm. The three men, armed with axes,
sailed forth to attack the monster, and
finally succeeded IN driving him from the
vicinity.
Here is recipe for making picnic lemon
sde: First get your barrel. Then fill it
with water. Don't De mean, put in plenty
of water. Now throw n pound of white
sugar into the barrel. Squeeze in a large
sized lemon. Don't be mean about the
lemon, either, but PIT the whole of it into
the barrel. Stir with long pole, and call
the children up Immediately. As fast as
they drink fill the barrel with cold water.
The beverage thus made is cheap Gf the
lemon is bought at wholesale) and is quite
healthy. II contains no pain, and is much
sought after by indulgent mothers and young
lovers. Picnic lemonade differs from the
church fair article by having the water 4
little fresher.-Neu York Star.
On Sunday evening, June 80, George W.
Baker and wife, residing at Vandyke Sta
ton, this county, at about five O'Clock in
the evening, went ont on the river to take a
boat ride. While Mrs. Baker was rowing
the boat she said the sun shone too hot
into her face, and while exchanging seats
with her husband she fell out of the boat,
face forward. Her husband jumped to
catch her, but his foot caught at one
OF the oars, and he fell in also, and
when he got loose he lost the place
where she had fallen in. She was soon
found, but not soon enough to save her
life, for when found she was dead. The
deceased formerly was Miss Alice Souders,
from near Tuscarora Station. Her age was
Il years, months and IL days. She had
been married Just three months. She was
amiable and intelligent, and was highly es-
teemed by all who knew her. The water is
about five feet where the distressing acci-
dent occurred. Her remains were entombed
in Church Hill Cemetery.
A delegation of masked Patterson boys in
the raggedest clothes they could obtain,
paraded through the streets on the morning
of the 4th, about o'clock. The process
sion was led by masked boy seated on a
one-year-old calf. of course the calf had
its proper share of flag decoration. The
national colors were not neglected by the
long procession of maskers that followed
the leader. They tiuttered from the hands
of nearly every boy in the procession.
There were three small banners in the pro-
cession. The first read: "On the way
home 20 the second one read ssOn a strike,
and the last one read: ssOn run" Appa-
rently the boys enjoyed the march, and the
attention they drew from people on the side
walks. A large crowd of children had col
lected at the canal bridge to see picnic
off in boat, but when the Patterson CON-
pany came along, the picnic people lost
their attraction for the children and they
follow ed the maskers through the streets OF
the town.
