Tue IIOlidaysbUrg Standard says that
rather gOOd-loOkinG young gentleman was
before the court of that county last week on
the charge Of deserting his wife. He had
nothing specially vicious about him and it
was a matter of surprise to some that the
young man should have behaved 50 badly.
After considerable questioning it was devel-
Oped that in due time after marriage the hap
py wife presented her husband with twins.
This ought to have made him proud, but it
didn't. On the contrary it frightened him.
He brooded over the thing until dark lines
of care marked his face. He said to himself
'If this IS the way this thing is going to be
gin, how will it end" He imagined himself
toilwOTn man, yainly attempting to pro-
vide clothing for great array of twins,
triplets, etc. The picture was too much.
He fled from the presence of his wife and
became wandeTcr upon the face of the
earth. Somebody looking over our shoulder
says ''What pity he didn't think of the
twins before he marriedr' Sure enough.

done better but not very easily. On the day
following the theft, Lcighty arrived in our

but had previously arranged with Mrs. Waplc, his
ncighbor'S wife. to meet him next day in Altoona.
Accordingly on Tuesday morning. Mrs. Waple de-
serted her husband and her little -'suckling child
and hied away the swiftly gliding train TO meet
the bully" StincrOck in Altoona.
Meantime Stincrock's wife BEGAN to think there

Mr.. Jacob Kruge, Of Bau township, as
sisted by six other persons, three of whom
are his sons, succeeded on Friday last in
threShing 1SS bushels Of oats, - bushels
wheat, and 30 bushels of wheat and rye mix
ed, in the remarkably short space of six hours,
beginning at I O'Clock and completing the
task at : O'Clock, pm. The grain was thresh-
ed for Mr.. Geo. Huffnagle, and it required
the united efforts of five horses to run the
machine. The men engaged i'm the work
were completely exhausted in the effort, it
being a fact especially noticeable that Mr..
Peter Parrish, who was of the party and is
one of the stOutest men in the county, was
as badly played out as any of them. This is
claimed to be feat extraordinary in the
threshing line, and for aught We know il is
unprecedented here OF elsewhere.
