our readers, SAYS the Huntington Globe, to
believe any more of the following than suits
their cTedulity. We give them as specimens
Of what editors can do when they git up on
their hind legs and start in for tall story.
Of course we believe every word, because
we know that editors can't lie. They would
mt if they could and couldn't if they would
The LewiStOwn Gazette comes along with two
stories which bear the evidence OF truth. The
Gazette says:
From n gentleman resident OF our town we have
learned Of two curious facts in animal and bird ma
ture which came under his observation while on q
recent visit to friends: At the farm OF ". Il. Wag
ner, who lives in Springfield township, hunting
don county near the Fulton county line is a eve
thaf recentiv had two lambs ono Of which She re-
fused to This forloTn child was at once adop-
ed by its grandmother 1t il expected that the
foster parent will soon have OF more Of her own
TO care for. and some curiosity exists to see how
she will then treat her adopted.
The other consider more singular:
chicken which came into this unfrtendly world
late last fall, and unfortunate enough TO have
its feet frozen of during the cold weather that fol-
lowed taken 20 the house and properly cared for
Here II formed acquaintance with the house
dog whose sleeping post is on the door mat. The
friendship has become mutual. and the dog now
allows chick to do she pleascs. 1t affords much
amusement to visitors to witness the preparation
for the night. Chick viii peck the dogs mind legs
and drawing them apart to suit her fancy will nes-
tIo between them for the night or falling in this
she viii mount on his side as he lies stretched out
and roost there doubt as the warmest place for
her tender limbs All this the dog allows in pa

Guvers.
Now come the Bedford papers. Be care
full about these fellows. They are Just awful
on a story The Hollidaysburg Standard no
ted that a gander had attacked little boy,
threw him down and bit piece out OF one OF
his legs, and intimated that the Bedford m
q1tjrer would probably file exceptions to the
story. Sure enough, the Inquirer comes back
and Just takes the rag off the bush:
We have no exceptions to file We know that
when gandcr gets his dander up he is not to be
fooled with by small boys But goose ls worse
vet. The other day on Fred Zimmers' farm, in a
contest. goose chswcd a cows tail on.
Since we have commenced to talk about fowls Il
comes into our mind that Mr.. John Croylc living
just out Of town, has rooster that Will not drink
the water Of Il stream that flows by his house. but
when thirsty walks ont to the Lyon reservoir, n
distance Of over half a mile. takes drink ana
marches majestically back home.
The Bedford Gazette goes the whole hog
in fact, several of them-and glories in It's
depravity, but notifies its contemporaries
that it wants no grunt from them. Hear the
hog:
We have beaten Somerset and Cambria on every
thing except hogs. but now we have them on that.
Mr.. Fred Schncbly, Of Bedford township, has
that Uttered 80 pigs within year aud raised
grunt from the quill drivers of adjoining counties
