summoned, she died In less that an
hour.
On Wednesday last Simon Bloser,
whilst working on the Sharp barn, north
of town, fell about 80 feet, injuring him
self severely In both arms cracking the
smaller bones of each. The escape of
Mr.. Bloser Is rather remarkable seeing
the distance he fell. He expects to he at
work before long. DR.. j. g. Claudy Is
the attending physician.
A lot OF thieves supposed to be from
Carlisle, recently entered the cellar of
VIM. II. Paul, on the turnpike, some
miles west of Carlisle, and took there
from butter, hams and shoulders. Then
they took horse out of the stable hitch
ed him to wagon and doubtless loaded
up their booty. Then they entered VIM.
Jacoby's granary adding more meat to
their Illicit store. AS Mr.. Paul's horse
was found on the pike near Carlisle it
is reasonable to suppose that some parties
larder In or about that place at this time
is not lacking some of the substantial
elements of household economy.
During the storm of Tuesday night
the house of Philip Shambaugh, in
Plainfleld, was struck by lightning and
set on fire. Had it not been that Mr..
O'Hara, neighbor, was looking out of
his window and discovered the fire, in
all probability the house would have
been burned to the ground.
During the same storm an electrical
holt struck the lightning rod of the
First National Bank building making u
terrific crack but doing no harm. Mrs.
M. M'Candlish, who occupies the house
law the fluid, or part of it leave the rod
ip the shape of small ball of fire, and
descend into the cistern. She was sit
tng at the window at the time.-Ne,c-

To crafty the general anxiety of the
of the public to learn the particulars of
President Garfield's assassination, Mr..
Frank Gilmore, of Chambersburg, ar
ranged with the authorities of the Cum
berland Valley Railroad to run news
paper train over the road last Sunday
The fact was telegraphed to the news
agents along the line Of the road, who
sent in orders for the number of papers
they wanted. Accordingly an engine
with baggage and smoking car attached
passed down in the morning and return
ed from Harrisburg after the train from
Philadelphia had arrived there with the
Sunday papers. The train passed through
Carlisle at about 80 p. M, and soon
thereafter everybody was reading Il
Times or Press.
On Friday evening of last week Ruth
erford Jackson, cOored man in the
employ of Dr. I&iefIer for over ten years,
undertook to drive horse of Hon. Theo.
Cornman's in q buggy. Scarcely had
Jackson seated himself in the buggy
when the horse became unmanageable
and ran out an alley in the rear of Mr..
C.'s lot, across Penn street, and upset
the buggy against Isaac Brenneman 3
stable, throwing out the driver, who was
severely hurt about the shoulders and
cut over the right eye, but escaped
having any broken bones. The horse
then ran away, lodging the buggy
againsta tree in front of Lewis f. Lyne's
residence. After he was free from the
vehicle he ran out Hanover street at
hreak-necll speed, but was caught on the
baltimore pike near the toll.gate and
brought back.

Chill dren Struck by Lightning.-Dur-
ing the storm, which visited our county
on Wednesday last, the house of Mr..
Jere. Mish, in Hamilton township, on
Back creek, was struck by lightning.
About twelve o'clock, two little daugh-
ters of Mr.. Mish were engaged in wash
ing dishes in an out kitchen which is
formed by boarding up the porch. While
they were thus engaged the bolt descend
ed upon the building passing down the
water spout tearing off the boards and
striking the two children both of which
were badly stunned. A messenger was
sent for DR.. Montgomery who respond
ed promptly. He found one of the chill
dren, Carrie, aged about nine years, to
be seriously injured. Her clothes were
torn to pieces and her abdomen badly
burned. She remained in critical con-
dition for some time but by skillful med
ical treatment and careful nursing she is
on fair way to recovery. The other
little girl was not as badly injured and is
as well as usual again. The building
was considerably damaged also. Frank

bone and bruising his side severely. A
scar on his forehead shows that he made
narrow escape with his life.

Severe Storm.-On Monday evening n
terrible thunder shower accompanied by
almost hurricane passed over portions
of this county. On the Middle Ridge
in Juniata township great damage was
done. Trees, fences and out buildings
were blown down and in some instances,
doors and windows were blown in. FThe
stable on the property occupied by
Mr.. John Heston was blown down, and
a COW had one horn blown off, or rather
the falling building knocked it off; the
orchard of VIM. Smith was almost en-
tirely destroyed, and many of the large
trees around the old Middle Ridge church
were leveled to the ground.
At Blain the storm did some damage
to trees and crops, also in the vicinity
of Loysville. AT Landisburg the storm
seemed particularly severe, taking off
the roof of Ahl's tannery carrying it
some distance, damaging the Reformed
church and tearing out large trees in
several places. Several persons caught
out with vehicles had narrow escapes./

Correspondence Bay City Tribune.
~ CHEBOYGAN, Dec. 5.-Tha railroad is
now about completed to this place, and
the track is said to be in pretty fair con-
ditiOn. But there is rumOr that no
regular trains will be put on for the
present. Whether there is any ground
for this rumOr, and if true, what the
reasons for it are, we are unable to ascer-
tain. Should it prove true, which it is
hoped may not be the case, it will prove
a serious disappointment to many of the
business men here, and especially the
merchants, who have depended upon the
railroad to get in their winter stock of
goods. Speaking of railroads, have
learned from the Railway Age few days
ago that the Chicago & West Michigan
railroad company intend to extend their
road from Big Rapids through the pine
region in the vicinity of HOuglitOn and
Higgins llkes, intermediate between the
G. K. 81 l. and j. l.. e. S. roads, thence
east of Mullet lake to ChebOygan. This
would give them line through millions
of feet of the best pine in the state.
TAKING GHlS extension ana
the proposed f. q p. M. extension
by way of Alpena to this place,
and branch of the G.. r. e I. road
from the vicinity of Douglass lake to
ChebOygan, and it will make this city
one Of the important railroad centers in
the country. These things may appear
somewhat visionary, but they are entirely
feasible, and in the near future viii
undeubtly be, substantially, accom-
plished facts. Nature has placed this
town in such position, and surround
ed it with such advantages, that it will
nOt:be overlooked by the business enter
prise of the country. And this region of
country, bordering on the straits, Is sure
to develOpe, not many years hence, into
region Of very great commercial and
material Importance.
The lumber cut of this city and vici-
nifty during the past year, as appears by
summary published in the Northern
Tribune. amounts in the aggregate to
7OOO0OO0 feet of lumber, besides large
quantity of pickets, lath etc. This
seems pretty well for place that, until
recently. has been almost unheard of in
business circles. More anon.

You can do Your Best.

President Tuttle, of Wabash college,
closed his baccalaureate with words of
inspiriting counsel to the graduating
class. We commend them to all young
me who may chance to read them:
For several years you have been work.
ing for the hOnOrs of graduation. AS
you reach the coveted goal, You meet
the crowds of the unemployed. The case
is not one to inspire hope. Is there any
thing you can do about it? There is
something you cannot dO-yOu cannot
change the fact. In spite of your wishes,
the professions are Over-crOwded, or at
least seem to be. But there is some
thing you can dO-y0u can do your
bestp and that Is something.
select few do it. Thousands do not.
We sometimes speak of aristocracies.
Those based on wealth and family are
not the nOblest of the class. This aris-
tOcracy, composed of those who ''dO their
BEST" Is the nOblest. The professions
are not OvercrOwded with this sort, but
with the other. To be this sort of man
one that "dOes his BEST" lis as easy as to
be q Milo, a Michael Angelo. or a Paul.
Do you grant ii? What then? This.
In that difficult, but splendid personal
trait Gf You have it.) you have the stroug
presumptiOn-I had almost said prOphe-
cy-Of success. The man who "does his
best" has passport sealed with the
kings signet, to some worthy field.
There certainly is a place somewhere
for such man.
