The Lewistown Gazette SAYS: Samuel
Steeley, living near Lewstown, has lost
nine head of young cattle in the mountains
this summer, making seventeen head that
he has lost the past three seasons. He and
William I. Shimp have also lost over a
dozen hogs each this fall while feeding in
the woods. Perhaps there is butcher shop
IN the mountains, queries the Gazette.
The latest trick of the intelligent tele-
graph operator was played with dispatch
from the scene Of hostilities with the Indi-
ans. Ii said, "Troops all scalped," when it
should have been "escaped." railroad
conductor sent telegram that was equally
distorted. He wrote, "We killed deaf
muts," but it was received, 4" We killed
dead mule"
Some time since, ex-Shcriff Williamson,
of Perry county, was so seriously wounded
by the accidental discharge of his gun that
the amputation of a leg became necessary.
His recovery WAS looked upon as certain,
until within few days when his case took
an unfavorable turn and he sickened and on
Sunday died. His funeral took place on
Tuesday, at Liverpool.
During the continuance of the three
months just commenced, look out for log
rolling accidents in the woods. The first
accident of the kind this season is reported
BY the Lewistown papers, which relate that
last Thursday a week, while Mr.. Nicholas
Hertzler, of Allensville, aged about 60
years, was engaged in getting out logs on
Jacks mountain, he was struck by log
coming down the shute, and was pretty
badly hurt"
. A tenant house, occupied by farmer
Swartz. ON the Stouffer Cedar Spring farm,
was entered by thieve. last Wednesday

house. There was stolen from the house
double shawl, three pairs of woolen stock
ings, one pair of new buck gloves, woOlen
shirt, glassware, and other articles, with
/ bread, butter and pies.

the nation.
Srd. Foreign emigration is source OF
national blessing
I 4th. Thanksgiving should be rendered to
God for religious blessings. Such are the
blessings that give strength to the Republic.

gers are,
lst. The increase Of drunkenness.
& End. The disregard of the Christian Sab
bath.
