A False Rumor.

A rumor circulated about town yester-
day to the effect that Mr. William Glenden-
ming, who expired at the Aims House Sunday
morning, died from want of care on the part Of
the proper authorities, is untrue. Mr.. Glen
denning had been out of health since July LIST,
and was put under the care of DR.. Cummings,
the city physician, after he went to the Aims
House last week. His death was owing to
congestion of the brain, the result of his sick
ness. Coroner Gould investigated the case
thoroughly yesterday. The friends of Mr..
Glendenning deny the charges of.intoxication
and say that he was not taken to the station by
the police. They had feeling that his treat
ment was not in all respects the best, but
further investigation will probably convince
them that they are in error

OF course the families were in a state of dread

A Valuable Home Invention.

Our County Commissioner, G. w.
Burrier, has for some years been
working out the details of new scrap
er and harrow which he has at last
perfected, and which will. as soon as
introduced, probably supersede en-
tirely the scrapers heretofore used
for the same purpose. The scraper
is attached to the harrow and forms
the base Of the triangle. 1t 10 ar
ranged so that by means of lever
it can be raised or lowered at will in
such a manner that the dirt taken up
can be distributed evenly. Mr.. Bur
rier claims for his invention that it
will pulverize lumpy ground, and
cover grain better with once going
over than harrow without the scrap
or attached will do In going over
twice. There is pedal by which it
can be worked with the foot if re-
quired, aud the dirt distributed as
evenly as though done by hand. For
an irrigating country it 10 an almost
an indispensable addition to the ag
ricuIturis,'s machinery, as it has the
advantage over all similar machines
of taking the ground off smoothly
and depositIng it evenly, leaving a
perfectly smooth surface. 1t will do
twice as much work as common
road scraper and more than a board
scraper. aud leave the dirt in quantl-
ties desired without stopping. Mr..
Burner has used the scraper and lev
eler for some years on his ranch,
near Fort Churchill, and thinks he
has now brought 1t to perfection. A
number of practical tests have been
made on land belonging to other
parties and all we're satisfactory. A
public trial will be made as soon as
arrangements eau be completed, add
all interested will be enabled to see
for themselves.

From Ear to Ear.

A letter from Thompson, Penn,
to New York paper relates the fol-
lowing rather doubtful yarn: John
Nichols, a farmer of that place,
while walking in the woods on his
farm thirty years ago, ran a twig in
to his right ear. A piece of it broke
off in his head. A few weeks ago the
pain became unusually acute, and
continued without cessation until
Saturday last. On that day Mr..
Nichols felt pricking sensation in
his left ear, and with pair of tweez-
ers pulled out a round piece of wood
three quarters of an inch long and
an eighth OF an inch in diameter.
He was at once relieved of pain and
his hearing was restor ed, and he has
no doubt that the piece of wood is
the bitof twig that was thrust into
his ear thirty years ago. II so it
passed through his head from ear to
ear. The wood is perfectly sound.
