The st. Mary's Gazette has con-

-Four beautiful shade trees have

trees placed, and Henry is the man to

&C. Bowers, of this place, has just
patented device to prevent bedsteads
from spreading. 1t consists OF two
plates of cast iron and two wrought
iron hooks. The plates are placed
midway between the head and foot
of the beadstead on each side, and Sc
curely fastened by three screws to the
rail on q level with the slat. The plate
is L shaped with groove little
more than three inches wide to hold
the end of the slat. The hook is fast
ened to the under side of the slat and
contains nub at the end which fits
q hole in the plate on the side of the
bed. The bedstead is thus held firmly
and all tendency to spreading avoided
while the slat can be removed and re-
placed at will. No doubt nearly every
person who sees the article in question
will desire to possess one. Call on Mr..
Bowers for full particulars.
A word to our correspondents.
We are glad to get the news. We
thank you heartily for sending it to
us. But we fear that sometimes line
creeps in that had better be left out.
Correspondents sometimes want to hit
somebody and they think they can do
it better in this way than in any other.
This is unfair, both to the persons you
refer to and to us. 1t makes enemies
for the paper, and does the writer no
good. Some correspondents we have
to reject entirely on account of being
personal, some we strike paragraphs
from, and in a few cases offence is
given by what we do publish. Make
your correspondence as newsy and
spicy as possible; but put in nothing
that will injure any one in any way
and nothing but what you would be
willing to attach your name to, and
let the world read.-Er.
The strong wind on Sunday morning
blew down section OF the renee surrounding
DIR. Earley's orchard, and the six deer parked
therein got out. When first discovered they
were quietly browsing in j. 5. Hydes HAT in
the rear of the Hyde House. The alarm was
given, and soon a crowd OF men anu boys
collected, which frightened Inc nim6teJtooted
6ipedS, and they took to their heels. The old
buck was surrounded and captured one o
the does scaled Osterhout's heights and dis
appeared in the woods, and the other iouI
swan the Clarion and gained the woods III
the rear OF the cemetery. During the day
four were killed by dogs and men, the nth
one escaping its pursurers and returning 10
the park ON Monday night.-EN Democrat.
The italics in the above are ours.
Just why the Editor of the Democrat
should accuse deer of having but two
feet we are unable TO understand un-
less some other dear was just then en-
gaging his mind. Or in other words
13, Is, IA. How dears will mix the
best of us.
