Enough OF Kansas.-About two years
ago, Mr.. Edward G. Blucker, and fami-
ly, composed of six, of Bendersville,
Adams Co., Pa, moved to Dickinson
county, Kansas, and located there on q
farm. Ten weeks ago they left that
place, and arrived here on Friday of last
week, driving the whole way and bring
ing with them their household goods, in
two large covered wagons. The wagons
pulled up on the Diamond and in a
short time, large crowd had gathered
around the travellers. We learned the
following facts from Mr.. Blucker. He
said for the past two years the crops of
Kansas, and especially Dickinson Co.,
were failure, and in place, of the farm
ers making money, they are losing year
ly. He says had he remained there an
other year he would have been unable to
have gotten away at all. He informed
us that after having cut, threshed and
sold his oats crop this year, he had one
dollar left for his work. He says owing
to the warm winds and the drouth Kan
sas will never make good agricultural
country for at least some time. AT any
rate not during his life, and that was the
reason he left. This is his report of
Kansas, and he says it is a correct one
as he speaks from bitter experience.
Their trip home was a pleasant one,
as the weather was all that could be de-
sired. They cooked their own meals
and slept in the wagons at night. They
remained in town about an hour, and
then struck out the Baltimore pike for
Bendersville, and Mr.. Blucker said, as

Mario W Escape from Death. Mon

Marrow Escape from Death.-On Mon
day morning, as young man named
Waddel, who is employed in the manu-
factory of Frick, & Co., of this place,
was in the act of oiling the bearings of
an overhead shaft, the sleeve of his coat
was caught and wound around the shaft
and he was drawn up against the tim
Der of the floor, and in this position, in
less time than it takes us to write it, was
entirely stripped of the clothing which
covered the upper portion of his body.
Strange to say he escaped with but few
bruises. Had his clothing not given
away, he must have met horrible death
as the shaft makes upwards of two hun
dred revolutions per minute WayneS-

supposed to have originated from sparks
of fire from the chimney falling on the
roof. There was no insurance on the
property. The loss falls very heavy on
Mr.. Huffman. He makes his living bv
hard labor, and has a wife and five chii-
dren to support. Mr.. Huffman has our
sympathies, and we hope he will be lib
orally assisted by the kind-hearted citi-
zens OF the county, so that he can re-.
place his building in time to shelter him
self and family from the cold and storms
OF the approaching winter.

Horrible Death. - On last Monday
morning, Mrs. Ruth Straitiff, living In
a rudely constructed shanty at Beavers
ore bank near the foot of Mt. Parnell left
her home to go to a neighbor's-Cordell
by name-one half mile away to see
about renting more comfortable house
for the winter Before doing so, she
made the following provision for her
two twin children-aged 10 months
whom she proposed to leave alone in the
shanty until her return. She put the
girl in the bed, and the boy in the era
die, placing by the side of the latter a
plate of boiled potatoes. About one
hour afterwards the mother who could
leave two helpless children In a shanty
whose rafters were poles, whose roof
was twigs and leaves with dirt on top,
was told that her home was in ashes,
and her little ones burned to death 1t
is supposed that the shanty caught fire
from the stove pipe, and being made Of
such combustible material was soon en-
veloped in flames. Coroner Ramsey
held an inquest in the afternoon.-Chon

Sad Accident.-On Monday afternoon
of last week, ex.Sheriff Williamson met
with sad accident, and one that will
leave him cripple for life. While out
hunting on the mountain about two
miles below Liverpool, he shot and
wounded squirrel and was trying to
get 1t out of an old stump into which 1t
had gone His gun laid little behind
him and as he grasped 1t by the barrel
and stepped forward, some brush caught
the cock of the gun and discharged the
load into his right leg below the knee,
cutting off the muscles and arteries and
shattering the bones. Mr.. Leonard,
who was with him, helped him down to
the lock house, and the next morning
he was removed up the canal on a fiat,
to his home. DR., Thompson who at
tended him said, the only way to save
his life was to amputate the leg, which
was done on Wednesday, by DR.. Thomp-
son assisted by Doctors Morris and Case.
He stood the operation well, and the
doctor says his condition is as good as
could be expected.
Later reports state that second am
putation had to be made, the first prov
ing to be too low down.

A Thief Captured. several years,
Samuel Miller, a farmer living north of
Millersburg, has been frequently annoy
ed by parties stealing corn, fruit or any
thing else that could be conveniently
carried away. On Wednesday night his
dog gave an alarm, when Mr. Miller,
Jared Specht and the dog gave the in
truder, who was laying in store of
winter apples, chase, following him
nearly a mile before they succeeded in
capturing him. They marched their
prisoner to the house, treated him with
apples and wine, e,and severe reprimand
and released him on the promise of
never committing any similar depreda-
tions. The man lives in Frogstown,
somewhat advanced in years, and has
heretofore made loud profession of re-
ligion. Out of sympathy for his family
his name is suppressed.

RunOf and Smashup.- On Thursday
night last, A. G. Winger, of Claylick,
who was attending party at J. w.
Duffield's, at Welsh Run, hitched his
horse to fence in the neighborhood.-
The horse soon managed to work the
rail loose and started on run down the
road, in his flight wrecking buggy be-
longing to another party and smashing
to pieces the one to which he was at
tached. In crossing bridge in the road
the horse fell and broke his leg and sus-
tanned other injuries which made it nee
essary to shoot him. Mr.. Winger's
buggy was valued at $3.50, and the horse
was a first-class animal.-Echo..
