The Perry county Freeman says
We give the report-we know nothing
but the report about it-charging DR.
Amos Rodgers, a practising physi-
clan of East Waterford, Juniata
county, with an attempt to produce
an abortion on the body of the late
Miss Mary Alice Peck, at Ickesburg,
Perry county, and the alleged parti-
cipation of Robert Boden in the same.
Mr. Boden was arrested, but gave
bail for his appearance DR.. Rodgers,
SO far as we know, has not been az
rested. Report states with consider
able minuteness one side of the case
but the other side has not been made
public. Every one is, by law, pre-
sumed innocent until proven guilty.
The legally constituted authorities
will IN due time dispose of the mat
ter; and we leave it to them for their
action.
A cosmopolitan, a citizen of the
world, who Is at home anywhere, indoor
or outuoor, a communist who gives all
he receives, and takes all be can get,
found lodgmeRr on the pavement be
tween Smiths house and Will's hotel,
on Main street, on Monday about 10
o'clock. To protect himself against
the uncommunistic portion of the com
muni,y-that is, that portion of the
community that might be willing to d.
vide bis property without his CONSENT
be held brick bat in his right hand.
Thus armed, he lay sleeping as urcon-
sciously as if in the most secluded room
in the house.
The dropping of few well-devel-
oped toads or frogs from rain cloud a
few days ago put the scientific people,
and the people who are not learned in
science, to talking, and to specula
ting as to how the toads OF frogs got up
among the clouds, the theory of one of
the scientific men took the crowd by
storm. Said he, "No, you are all
wrong on this business of the rain of
frogs or toads. 1t is no such thing,
that the young toad is taken up into
cloud and carried along till the
cloud gets too light to hold it and then
drops it. My theory is that the spawn
of the toad is carried up into the rain
clouds, and when the water is poured
out the spawn also passes out, and in
the descent the friction is sufficient to
develope the frog, and by the time the
spawn gets to the ground the frog is
ready to hop. 1t is the friction that
generates the frog. intend to sub
NIT my theory to a University profess
sor, and expect to be sustained by the
professor in every particular, on the
friction theory. Friction is great
thing, you must understand"
The Altoona Tribnne, of July II,
says: On Monday night, between IL
and II O'Clock, genteelly dressed
man and woman, driving a gray horse
attached to covered Jenny Lind
wagon, stopped their nag in front of
McC Cahan's mill, near town. The man
passed the lines to his fair Dulcinea,
after which he descended and inter
viewed the chicken-coop of Mr.. Lind
