A Cute Swindle.-Below we give por-

lers are busy circulating through the
country. They profess to be trying to
Introduce valuable variety of grain,
which is represented to be worth $5 per
bushel, and they agree to furnish the
seed and for the two bushels take four,
and promise to buy the entire crop. If
the farmer prefers, however, he can pay
cash and keep all the seed, but by the
contract he Is not to pay anything till he
has raised the grain to do ii with. The
contract is printed lengthwise of cap
sheet, and If this part of the contract
Is examined it will be seen that when
torn across after the word or" down to
the word "agent," the left hand piece of
paper is good note with the signature
in its proper place. The other portion
of the paper is filled up with more details
of the contract, which is of no account,
as the note is all theswindler really cares
for, and can easily be torn of. The
blank where made payable is filled up
with the name of the farmers market

rate legal in the State they happen to be
operating in:

For THE TIMES.


EDITOR OF TIMES "A few lines from this
section may interest your readers. Business
here is on the boom. Farmers are getting
pretty well along with their harvesting. The
wheat crop is far better than was expected in
the spring. Oats are very good; the meadows
were not very heavy on account of dry weather.
The corn crop promises to be one of the best
ever raised in this part of the country. The
new wheat is selling readily at S1.s5 per
bushel corn worth 80 cents oats 35 cents.
1t has been very dry here we are needing rain
badly. Stock water is getting scarce, and
unless we have rain soon our corn crop will
be cut short by the drought. l think my next
trip will be to see the country west of the
Mississippi. The longer am in the west the
more think of the country, and am convinced
that 1t is the place for young man just start
ing out in life, for by using economy, he can
soon get nice start In business.

Burned to Death.-At about five o'clock
on Saturday evening little daughter of
Mr.. j. d. Mullen residing on Judge
Junkin's farm near Delville, got a
couple of parlor matches with which
she set her clothing on fire. The flames
instantly enveloped her whole body and
in few seconds her clothes except the
bands that were buttoned on were burnt
off. The child was so horribly injured
that death released her from her suffer-
ings in few hours. She was an inter-
esting little girl aged about five years,
and her sad death was terrible shock
to her afflicted parents.

A Subterranean Fish. - The Fulton
Republican says: Zone day last week,
Rev. ]. A. Reber, while drawing wa
ter from the well at the residence of j.
E. Downes, of this place, brought up a
live subterranean fish. 1t was between
four and five inches long, of light pink
color and without eyes or scales. Its
mouth resembled that of sucker, and
it had the regulation fish smell. The
stream of the well in question is very
strong and the supposition is that it
was carried away from its home in some
subterranean lake or pool by the force of
the current. Notwithstanding it was
eyeless its aversion to the light or upper
air was marked. Mr.. Reber placed the
specimen in alcohol for preservation
Eyeless fish are common in many of the
large caves of the country, and are nu-
merous in the celebrated Mammoth Cave
in Kentucky. A gentleman who has Wis
tied Watkins Glen informs us that in
cavern at that place, the many pools are
inhabited by fish of this character.
Judging by LOoks.-In coming from
Harrisburg on Tuesday night last we
noticed two men, handcuffed together,
accompanied by third party. A friend
who was with the writer said, "they
are hard looking cases L wonder where
the officer is taking them" We had
some curiosity too, and so after the train
started we interviewed the third man.
To our surprise we learned that one of
the men we had taken for a prisoner,
was the officer who had handcuffed the
prisoner to himself for safety, and that
the third party we had supposed was the
officer, was only friend. And then
we had some more curiosity, to learn
which was the prisoner, but this matter
was finally settled by the friend inform
ing US, and again we found that both of
us had selected the officer as the hardest
looking case of the two. The party was
bound for Johnstown the larceny for
which the arrest was made having been
committed in Cambria Co. We both
concluded that it was not always safe to
Judge by appearance.
