Last Friday evening We had a
Spelling Bee" at Pinegrove School
house which was the best attended
affair of the kind we aver heard of in
Forest county. There were not less
than two hundred people in attend
ance, and FIVE counties were represent
ed. This shows that Barnett township
is not dead, but wide awake in the
cause of education.
We chose sides and spelled about
three. quarters of an hour, with all the
school spelling, even little Six-year-old
boys and girls, some of whom didn' t

crowded there was no chance of"spell.

have been the champion speller. After
the spelling was over the following
programme was gone through with:
First, Dialogues "Woman's Reform
Meeting" by Mrs. White, Misses Rilla
Hottell, Emma Kerr, Sadie Kellogg,
and Mrs, John Moore. 2nd, "Mrs.
Smiths Boarders," by Misses Cilla
Mays and Louie Cossgrove, and Messrs.

band" Emma Kerr, Rilla Hotel and
Sammy Ward. 4th, "Timothy's
Trouserloons," by Mrs. White, Miss
Phoebe Kerr, John Black, Johnnie
Davis. Defamation and music were
had between each dialogue, and lastly
but not least, paper was read by
Casty Stevens and ella Mays.
We had splendid order considering
the way the house was crowded, and
everything passed off quietly and
pleasantly.

A STUFFED STEAK OF BEEF.-Cut a
thick slice of beef from the round, say
about two pounds, have it free from
bone; two gills of bread-crumbs well
seasoned with salt. pepper, and half a
chopped onion; spread out your beef,
and spread the seasoned bread
crumbs all over it, roll it up
close, and tie it carefully at
the ends, from one end to the other,
and round the whole, to keep it in shape.
Fry and brown slice of salt pork,
and take it from the spider, then lay in
your roll of beef, and brown it on all
sides. Then stew it slowly in little
water, keeping it closely covered, and
having in the water a little salt and two
spoonfuls of vinegar. Let it stew two
hours or more, then take off the strings.
1t cuts nicely through the roll, and is
good cold. The water makes good
gravy and it keeps well.

of mechanical skill on the part of the
persons who manage them. The sides
are not even; at the end where the beam
turns in blowing there is often varia-
ton of rod or more from true line
the burrows are crooked in all parts OF
the field; the rows of corn or potatoes
are not straight, and as consequence
many Of the hills are injured by being
worked with cultivator.
A workshop is most valuable aux
iliary to the farm and garden. Its tell
dency is to make one careful and pre-
else in the use of tools of every descrip-
ton. 1t is good school-room for boys.
1t helps develop mechanical ingenuity,
which is as valuable to farmer as to a
machinist. The more boys handle shop
tools the more dexterous they will be
with farming tools. With good work
shop profitable employment may be
found during large proportion of win
ter, and during rainy days at other sea-
sons of the year. To keep farm with
its numerous buildings, fences and tools
in repair requires mechanical skill,
which farmers may acquire if they will
set themselves and their sons about it.

INVESTIGATION PROCEEDINGS.
The Ute Outbreak.

rar WASHINGTON, Feb. 5.
The House Committee on Indian Affairs this
morning examined N. w. Byers, Postmaster
at Denver, Colo, relative to the Ute question.
He said that the causes of dissatisfaction and
irritation on the part of the Ute Indians dated
back to the treaty in which they claimed to
have been "sold by Ouray;" that the
White River Utes repudiated that treaty
and invariably warned settlers from the
region outside of their present reser-
walton, which they held they never intended
to cede to the United States; that the Indian
idea was that they had exclusive rights On the
reservation and an equal right with the whites
of the reservation. AS an indication that the
outbreak was premeditated he instanced the
fact that the Utes for some time had been
counting friendly relations with the Chey-
ennes and Arrapahoes, when it is well known
that they are natural and deadly enemies.

AGRICULTURAL.

ATTEND to YOUR Own SrocK.-
Every stock-raiser, rich or poor, should
personally look after the interests of his
stock daily. There may be instances
where careful, kind and attentive
hired hand may be had. But as gen
eral rule this is not the case. Too fire.
quently the care of stock is entrusted to
howiing, wild, vicious fellows, who beat
and kick any animal which stands in
their way, or which does not act exactly
as they think is right. From our ex-
perience on this subject, we can scarce
~ write composedly on the matter.
There is not greater scarcity in any
employment in life than kind, gentle
and careful stockholders. And this is
especially the case in the storms and
bleak winds of winter, when stock need
all the possible care and attention which
can be bestowed on them. Hence we
say that owners must attend to their
own stock. The hired hands can do
the straight work in the barn, fields or
on the road. But when considerate
care and kind attention is needed, there
Is the owners place, instead of entrust-
ing it to men who have no interest, and
who only put in their time to get their
wages. In many cases from this cause
alone frequently the best results are not
obtained by investment in various kinds
of stock. Kindness to dumb brutes is a
cheap article, yet it yields rich rewards.
But even many owners upon whom the
exercise of such virtue is so important
have frequently but a limited stock on
hand. But they may be assured that
the animal which looks kindly for your
coming, and shows it feels pleasure
from your touch, will be more content
ed, and will assimilate its food more to
your advantage. The kind breath of
the owner is a balmy breeze to all do
nestle animals.-Iora State Register.

MECHANICAL SKILL AND FARMING.

MECHANICAL SKILL AND FARMING.
Comparatively few farmers have
either mechapical knowledge or skill.
They can not make the simplest imple-
ments they are required to use. They
can not repair any of the machines they
operate in their fields. Their houses
and outbuildings are often in very bad
condition because they are unable to
use the tools used by a carpenter, and
the employment of skilled mechanic
is attended with too much trouble and
expense. Their wagons and carriages
are rarely in thorough state Of repair.
Something is ordinarily the matter with
their harnesses. Their grindstone does
not run true. Their pumps leak. The
handles of their axes, spades, shovels
and hoes are all in bad condition.
A large proportion of the expense of
running farm is caused by the erection
and repairs of fences. A man without
mechanical skill can not make a new
fence or properly repair an old one.
He will ruin the boards he attempts to
scut and break the nails he undertakes to
drive. He can not make gate. He
can not even hang one so that it will
swing properly after it is made. AS a
consequence, there are barns instead of
gates On his farm. As further conse-
quence, the fences afford poor protec-
lection to crops, while they disfgure the
premises they ought, by right, to orna-
ment. A farmer possessed of mechani-
cal skill ordinarily has fences that are
ornate in appearance as well as those
that turn stock of all kinds. They are
also furnished with gates that do not
sag.
A farmer without mechanical skill can
neither graft trees nor prune them.
The trees in his orchard, the shrubbery
in his lawns and the vines in his Vine
yard always present an unseemly APP
pearance. He has no walks about his
ground, because he does not know how
to construct them. There is no scraper
on his doorstep. His hay-rack is al
ways out of order, and the like is true
of his field-roller, commander and cul-
tivator. He can use few of his ma
chimes to the best advantage, while all
of them soon wear out under his man
agement. The use of machines and all
kinds of improved farm implements
calls for mechanical skill. Without it
their full value is never realized, while
their speedy destruction is insured.
Farm machinery is expensive, and every
effort should be made to make it last as
long as possible.
A very large proportion of farming
operations are purely mechanical. Me-
chanical skill is necessary to construct
good stack of hay or grain, or to prop
erly build load of hay. A lack of me-
chanical skill causes shocks of corn to
blow over. Mechanical skill is neces-
sary to lay out land in blowing, and to
so gauge the burrows that the land will
come out even. The appearance of
many cultivated fields show an absence

A SINGULAR CASE.

How Thirteen Men Got on a Jury and the
Trouble it Caused.
The case Of Carson VS.. Spring, tried in
the Lycoming county court this week to
recover the value of a horse, worth about
$50, had curious and ludicrous termina-
ton by reason of thirteen men being on
the jury. George F. Fague was called as
a juror in the case, but was challenged,
and when the jury was sworn left the box
and took scat by the side thereof. When
it retired he also followed the constable in
charge and was locked up with the others
to settle upon verdict. The usual ami.
mated discussions pro and con occurred in
the jury room, and number thirteen came
to the front with the rest. The jurors no.
ticed nothing wrong until ballot turned up
showing thirteen votes. Then everybody
fell to counting, and then, as every man
insisted he was rightly there the mystery
grew broader, deeper and more ridiculous.
No one could explain the mystery until
they had a general consultation. and then
all said "Thou art the man. but Mr..
Fague had nothing to say. 1t is rare that
anything has occurred in that court room
to create such an amount of genuine and
irrspressible sport and still it was tingcd
with sympathy for the unfortunate parties
who had been put to unavailinS expense
and trouble. The court discharged the
jury and ordered re-trial. We don't
think case like tho above has ever oc-
CURED in this state before.

TRADING LOVERS.
HOW Two Pike County Maitlens Changed
on on Account Of Politics.

HOW Two Pike County Maidens Changed
OHOn Account Of Politics.
Not far from the town of Lackawaxen
is the home of two young ladies, sisters,
aged respectively Is and 20 years. They
were each receiving the addresses of lovers
who We're brothers, and both couples were
engaged to be married. 1t was their in
tcntiOn to celebrate double wedding
about the holidays, but now matters have
changed. \ few weeks ago the four
were sitting together in the parlor
at the girls home, when the elder
lady expressed desire to attend a
political meeting then being held in a
nearby village. She asked her lover to
accompany her, but he refused point blank,
giving as his reason that he was not a
Democrat. The young lady insisted, but
still he refused. Finally she turned to his
brother, who, it seems, was Democrat,
and asked him to accompany her. To
the surprise of all he at once consented,
and they went to the meeting. The two
who remained at home were quite
indignant, the one at the conduct Of her
lover and the other at the way his sweet
heart had acted. The moro they discussed
it the angrier they became. They dis
covered that tlcy-the ones at hOme-werc
poth hepuUic1nS, Wnlle inc CwO VINO had
gone were of Democratic proclivitics.
They talked on, discovering little by little
similarities of tastes and habits, and finally
resolved each to break with the old love
and form new alliance. No sooner re-
solved than the compact was ratified with
a kiss, when by chance the others entered.
The gentleman told his brother at once
what they had decided to do. To his
great surprise no sorrow was shown, no
anger manifested, and his wonder was in
creased when he was informed that the
other couple, while OH their way home,
had resolved to do just tho same thing.
The hugging, therefore, row goes on as
usual, and the wedding will take place
about New Year.

Farmer Troutman's Murder.

Henry Rumberger, one of the Trout
man murderers, made public confession
yesterday, in which he says he and Frank
Rumberger entered into final arrange
ments last Saturday to rob the old farmer
and on Sunday proceeded to carry out the
plot. Henry says he was shot at by Trout
man and missed, and that Frank
told him that he had fired at
the old man subsequently,. This is
in conflict:with the ante-mortem statement
of Troutman, who said Henry had shot
him. The "squealer mentions the
names of several persons who, he says, saw
him and Frank driving together on the
day Of the murder. This is inconsistent
with the declaration of Frank, who de-
clares that he was not in Henry's company
on Sunday, but lends importance to the
statement of Franks wife. who says that
her husband was away from home most of
the day Of the crime and at the time when
it is alleged to have been committed.
