The Lewistown Ga=ette says, the late cold
high winds of March have had bad effect
on the wheat fields throughout the valley.
Wheat that looked green and promising
through the winter, is now faded and pre-
sents blistered appearance, with the soil in
places blown away from the roots. Peaches
are said to be killed by an ice that remained
on the trees not long ago, about 90 hours.
The Huntingdon Local Neurs tells the fol-
lowing A certain minister of this place,
visiting his membership, called on one of
his parishioners, a lady, who, not wishing to
meet him at that time, went up stairs and
sent her four-year- son to meet him and
tell him she was not at home, which he did
as follows: " Mother told me to tell you
she wasn't at home. She's upstairs hiding"
The Lewistown Free Press of April End
says: Colonel Theodore Butohield, as
Junior vice commander of the Grand Army
of the Republic of Pennsylvania, is expect
ed here in about a week to reorganize Col
onci Hulings rost, No. l76. 1t is expect
ed that comrades of Lieutenant Wilson
Post, of Mifiintown, and Simpson Post, of
Huntingdon, will be present and assist in

The Central Dry Goods and Grocery
Store has not changed hands, as was ru-
mored, but will be continued under the same
management, to a much larger extent than
ever. The room is now beng papered,
painted and otherwise retitted, which will
make il one of the best rooms in the county.
J. +. Shaffer is now in the east, laying in
large stock of Spring and Summer Dry

A mistake found its way into the ool-
umns of the Sentinel aud Republican last
week; il was an announcement that the
Post OF the G.. A. T. had held a cake walk
in Mickey's Hall in Patterson, for the pur
pose of raising money to equip band for
the Post. The Post of the G.. A. X. has
never held cake-walk, and the mistake in
the paper was in confounding the Post band
with the Post of the G. A. r. 1t was the
Post band that gave or held the cake-walk.
The lst of April story that got the ear of
Philadelphia was that little girl was car
ried off skyward by being tied to a large
number of toy balloons. The story which
excited Altoona was that of the finding of
gold in the mountains near the town. The
story that excited Washington was that
which declared that Mexico had offered to
place itself under the management of Cen
eral Grant, provided he be elected Presi-
dent, and provided the United States agree
to pay the Indebtedness of Mexico, which
is said to be 10000 900.
On Monday, the 5th inst, John yiol,
miner, met with a serious accident while
putting off blast in the mines, near Gra-
hamville, Fermanagh township. He was
blasting in damp rock, and supposing that i
the powder had missed igniting, he pro-
ceeded to examine the cause. When with
in short distance of the place the blast.
went of, knocking him senseless. Pieces
of slate and rock penetrated his right eye,
cheek, chest, and arm. The injuries were
surgically attended to by DR.. Banks, and at
last reports he was convalesing.
John Hollobaugh and son, and William
Books, all together, started at midnight in
a carriage, on the last night of the month of
March on journey TO Lost Greek to fish
for trout. They got as far as to East Point,
when something got wrong with the shafts
right till the horse had kicked himself clear
of the vehicle, which was not done till the
party was hauled around onto Washington
street to the vicinity of the Presbyterian
church. There the horse got away, and
was not seen by any of the people he so un-
tremendously left, till about O'Clock on
1Sl VI was tASN "
a fence in the vicinity of Cuba Mills. 1t is
not every one that has such an experience
when on fishing excursion.
