boy; "that's what's the trouble with

Yesterday as u citizen Of Woodward

preparatory to hosting 1t on top of

II hope So"
"Well, now, 1 kin stop that smoking
In ten minits, and ] won't hurt the
chimbly nor put up any smoke jacks"
continued the old man us he laid down
his stumble
"Ifyou'll do 1t I'll give you five dol

the clumsy jack
''I<iD have the kitchen for five min

The cook was instructed to vacate and
the old man took possession. Removing
the top of the stove he poured in enough
water to put out every spark of fire.
Then going out he called to the citizen
on the roof.
"Has she stopped smokingY"
"Well, L don't see any smoke at all"
was the reply; "what have you done? ?"
While he was coming down the ladder
the old man made off, eating pie he
had taken from the oven. The last half
of it he had to bolt down while on the
run, but at no time in the race did the
citizen, tinsmith or servant girl get
within twenty rods of him.

9 Accident to Boy.-One of Mr.. Bair's
sons, in Buffalo twp, on Wednesday of
last week was hauling out manure in
one horse wagon. While in the field,
and unloading the vehicle, the horse
took fright, suddenly running away,
pitching the boy to the ground. In his
fall, the fork with which he was scatter
ing the compost entered the boys
mouth at the same opening at which he
takes in the food necessary for the sus-
tenanee of life. The sharp prong lodged
in the flesh of the cheek, solidly there
imbedded until he jerked 1t out with his
hands. The accident undoubtedly was
painful one, and might have proved
more serious.

The society was composed of forty-seven
members, among whom was Joseph A. Wright
who was chosen as President and Howard l..

possess brilliant intellectual powers. They

respect qualified to discharge the duties devolv-
ing on them as officers of any literary associ-
alton.
The exercises were mostly select reading,
essays, orations, answering ofqueres and the

The question of our last meeting was, "Re-
solved, That the indians should be extermin-
ated from our country" 1t was warmly de-
bated on the affirmative by J. Ellis Moore, j.
A. Wright, Amos Wright and @. j. Van

A Desperate Husband.

John lives in the upper end and had some
trouble in his family. His wife left him, and
he was determined to have her back, so he
sought her hiding place and tried by "foul
means and fair" to compel her to return with
him home,she not complying, he drew 'volver,
and told her that what money was In his
pockets, she could find on his corpse, as she
had plenty of trouble in this world, and was
going to put himself out of IL, as soon as the
Lord, or that other fellow would let him." He
started out of the house, and went behind an
old shop, and soon the family heard a shot.
They did not go out, however, to look for the

Attempt to Wreck Train.-Last Satur-
day night an attempt was made by some
fiends in human shape to wreck pas
senger train by placing two very large
stones on the south track of the Penn
sylvania railroad, short distance east
of the telegraph tower at Highspire, six
miles below this city near the spot where
about a year ago a tool box had
been placed on the track and was struck
by the fast line eastward bound. 1t is
not exactly known which of the pas
senger trains passed and threw the
stones aside, but they were discovered on
Sunday morning lying alongside the
track. Near the stones was found a
stout iron rod probably brace rod be-
longing under the pilot,) which was
supposed to have been torn from the pi-
lot of the locomotive which struck them.
The ballast was somewhat disturbed,
and a number of ties were moved out of
position by the force with which the To-
comotive rolled the stones. 1t was sug-
gested to make thorough examination
of the engines which tugged the Attain
tic express and fast line east on the
above mentioned morning, in order to
ascertain for which train the dangerous
trap was laid. Suspicion has been fixed
upon certain parties and the affair will
be promptly investigated. Harrisburg

Iron Works Items There was quite an
excitement in the factory on Monday,
caused by the breaking of drum that
runs the pump. Nailors and feeders ran
in all directions but fortunately no one
was hurt.
On last Friday evening about one half
hour after the factory stopped the pipe
that carries the water into the boilers
bursted which caused quite an excite
ment for while, the fire had to be draw
ed from under the boilers and the ma
chinery had to stop on Saturday to re-
pair it, which was done and every thing
was ready for operations on Monday
morning.
The rolling mill is still running regu-
lar with full force.
There were none but the hot machines
ran this week, and the cold ones remain
idle, we understand on account of there
being large amount of small nails on
hand, it appears there is not much de-
mand for small nails at present. Dun
