" We are going to remove IT," quietly
Areplied one OF the party.
Y 81 don't care If you are-show meth
man."
Well, I'm the man, and what are
you going to do about II ?" said the big
man of the lot as he stepped out.
Didn't you know that was my wife's
grave ?" asked the Hoosier with a con-
siderable fall to his voice.
I" No sir.'
Well 1t ls, sir : my first wife's
\grave."
And what of that ?"
= What of that !" why-why, sir,
If hadn't married second one about
month ago and kinder forgot my grief,
\ I'd take that stake and pin you to the
fence with 1t It's lucky for you fellers
-mighty lucky for you-that 1 don't
feel half as bad as / did -
We wonder If the engineers who run
the line between New Bloomfield and
Newport will cross any woman's grave,
or will there have TO be some old fogies
buried before the surveyors will begin.

Cumberland COunty.-We copy the fol-
lowing from the Cumberland papers
of last week:
Are bangs an evidence of civilization 7
If so, the Indian maidens at the school
are being rapidly civilized. We notice
several of them carry their foreheads
behind bangs of the most approved
style.
A wheel was stolen off Mr.. Adam
Senseman's wagon, in the 1st ward, one
night last week. When Mr. S. discov-
cred his loss his first thoughts were of
the army worm, but after rejecting
few moments, he concluded that the
wheel had been stolen.
Mr.. VIM. E. Green has self-binding
reaper, being something new and novel
in our county. Mr.. VIM. Sheaffer, of
Huntsville, has cream extractor. Both
of these men have the first of the kind
in this part of the county, and are
among our most enterprising citizens.
The Shippensburg Ne,0s says One
of the most violent wind and rain
storms, within our recollection, passed
over this locality, Sunday afternoon
about three o'clock. The storm moved
in northeasterly direction, and from
all newspaper accounts was quite gener-
al. In the vicinity of Shippensburg the
destructive effects of the storm is notice
able on all sides.
The State Normal School building
suffered severely. The tin roofing on
the northeast wing was completely re-
| moved by the wind and rolled up against
the tower over the eastern part of the
II building, penetrating 1t in some places
| Ito the depth of two feet or more. There
were about sixteen hundred square feet
| of tin removed, which will all have to
l/be replaced with new work. The inside
| of the building was also more or less in
| jured from the water which passed
through the damaged portion of the
roof.
1t is quite likely that the difference
which has existed between the borough
authorities and the county commission
ers with regard to the court house square
will be amicably adjusted, and that a
new pavement and a beautiful public
square will be the result. On Saturday
Borough Attorney Duncan Graham,
musty records in the department of the
| interior to determine the limits of the
| grant from the Penns to the county
Messrs. Biddle and Graham as attorneys
for the county and borough expect to
present the result of their investigation
to the proper authorities in few days.

leg broken a few days ago is doing as
we'll as could be expected. Perhaps you
have not yet heard how it happened.
AS she was driving down the Pine Road
four-horse team belonging to Mr.

Mrs. @. seeing the team coming after
her full speed, got frightened and think
ing to make herself safe jumped out By
SO doing she broke her leg, and then by
stepping on it she caused the bone
to cut through the flesh, stocking, skirt
and dress. Then, she crept away on her
hands and knees, and the team ran
through between where she was lying
and where the buggy was standing.
The team was caught mile or two
below We did not learn what fright
