WHERE DID THE LIGHTNING Go p
The Warrenton, Va, Clipper, says On
last Monday, out at the plantation of
Judge Fitzpatrick, negro man during a
thunder storm was standing under tree.
The lightning struck the tree above him,
and skipping downward struck him in the
mouth. The lips outside were uniniured:
inside they were much torn. Four teeth
were solidly blocked out, bone and all,
from the lower jaw, and three more were
rent out from the upper jaw. No other
injury was done. He was up and walking
about soon after the occurrence, and the
indications are that he will get well.
What direction the electric current took
after striking the negro no one can dis
cover.

4 fraction of the Socialists of New York
celebrated the anniversary Of the French
revolution of 1913 on Monday night, but
the speeches and resolutions give no clear
idea of what they meant by the celebration
The 3" Governing Body" of the Socialistic
Labor Party, not being able to govern the
members, repudiated the meeting. The
curious feature of the resolutions adopted
was that two-thirds of them protested
against abuses which are fast disappearing
from Europe and never had a foot hold in
this country. 1t is scarcely necessary in
this country to demand free education, as
We have that--or to protest against
heavy standing army and union of Church
and Stakeholder of which exists here.
Foreign political agitators who desire to
make any Roadway in the United States
should not hold public meetings until they
have lived here long enough to learn the
difference between the social and political
conditions of this country and those ofthe
Old World.

HANOVER 1873 YEARS AGo.-Hanover, Pa,
formerly called McAlistertown, was founded
in the year 1885, by wealthy farmer, named
Richard MeAlister, who, it is said, travelled
through the place few years before, which
was then an entire forest, inhabited by sew
eral Indian families and a number of wild
animals. The first house in Hanover, into
which Mr.. McAlister moved his family, was
a wretched hovel, in no respect any better
than the few scattered huts OF the Indians.
The above we clip from the Davidsburg
correspondent of the York Daily Hanover
was founded in 1854 OF I765-about so wears
later than the date above given. 1t was
founded by Richard McAlster, who came to
this neighborhood before 1749, although at
what precise date is unknown to us. The
''wretched howell which was the first house
in Hanover, was the comfortable story

Rain falls almost necessarily, accompanied
bya cold easterly wind A thunderstorm,
with snow aud hail passed over Forfar and
adjacent counties on June IL. 1t was of
exceptional violence at Lundie, near Dun

and several cart loads were removed before
an entrance could be effected Dwelling

Ten ACRES OF VEHIcLEs.-The Dunk
ard Love Feast, which was held recently, on
the lands of Mr.. John Ensminger, South
Annville township, Lebanon county, Pa,
was largely attended, it being estimated
that from 5000 to 1000 people hailing
from that and adjoining counties, we're
present Fifteen hundred vehicles were
on the grounds, and the troughs where the
horses were fed were fully quarter of n
mile in length. A ten acre field, it is
said, was damned withlvehicles and horses,
and within a radius of half mile of the
feast all the available room had been Sc
cured for the horses. Not for many years
has such large assemblage come together,
showing that the interest in these feasts
is as great now as it was twenty years ago.

COULDN'T HITcH.-The Commissioners of
Frederick and Carroll counties met at Sells
Mill, on the Monocacy, one day last week, to
confer in regard to building bridge across
said stream at that point-Frederick county
offered to bear half the expenses, but Carroll
did not toe the mark, and so the matter rests.
-Bdnner.
This will no doubt be a great disappoint-
ment to the people of that section of the
county as they have been struggling for some
years past to have a bridge built there. A
gentleman who was in our Office a short time
ago, informs us that there is not more dan
gerous fording along the Monocacy than this
one, and already several lives have been lost
Clarion.
Carroll county was willing to pay for the
bridge TO the centre Of the stream, and no
more, as it is of far more advantage to the
people of Frederick than to this county. On
the Frederick side there is considerable fat
which would necessitate Frederick expanding
more money. The fact of the matter is, we
don't think that the Frederick County Com
missioners are anxious for it.

asEsT.-The divine promise, that while
earth remaineth summer, winter, seed
he and. harvest shall not cease, ought to
snre the doubling, in all vicissitudes of
sle, especially such as have marked the
year. The warm and genial spring
mise of an unusually early harvest,

atty the time of the ingathering of the

D Nh abundant one, which bids fair to fill the
gamers Of the husbandmen until there shall
not be room to contain. While we write the
golden heads are falling before the reaper,
the weather is propitious, the grain is per
fectly developed, and the immense yield is
direct evidence Of the bounty and goodness
of an overruling Providence. At this most
interesting season the heart of the husband
man ought to swell with gratitude to the Giver
Of all Good, for the abundance with which
his labor is crowned.
