The following items we copy from
the BLOOMFIELD PERRY county
TIMES, OF last week.
Mr.. David Clouser who was 20 un
fortunate as to lose horse two week
ago, last week lost good heifer
The cause of her death he could no
tell. David seems to be having NOR,
than his share of bad luck.
One day last week Constable Kline
peter of Newport, arrested and placed
in the jail In this place, Samuel KEEP
ner and James Bagar, charged with
stealing trunk, the property of Rev.
j. w. Ely. The trunk was taken
from wagon in East Newport, near
Amos Watts residence.
Charley, two-year old son Of Mr..
John Adams of this borough, fell out
of bed one morning last week. hi,
head striking an earthenwa spit
toon into many fraincnts and cuttin 4
his head severely In several places.
His wounds bled profusely and DR..
Strickler was called in to dress them.
A QUEER Freak. Mr.. Ben Nc
int'rc of this place has Tom cat thai
has taken n particular liking to a
brood ~ chickens For son, tim,
the eat has assumed charge of them.
anl will lie quiet with look of in
tense satisfaction ~ the chicks hud
die up to him. At other times he will
play with them as though they were
kittens, taking care not to hurt them.
He will IL fed, let them pick ut a piece
OF meat while he will stand and look
on, aud by many other acts he shows
his regard for his feathcred family.
Ii il certainly curious freak OF the
cat, and the chicks, now as large a.
quails, seem to enjoy the peculiar
friendship "a we'll ~ I've does.
A CHILD's MARROW Esc.pE. On
Wednesday afternoon n three year
old daughter of Mr.. A. =. klincpetpr
of this place came near killing herself.
She had by some means got hold Of a
double bitted axe and carried it M
the board walk and up on to the
porch. AT that place she fell striking
on one bit Of the axe which cut drep
cash in her throat two inches long.
The cut was just back of the wind
pipe and came within quarter of an
zach Of severing the cnradil artery.
The child blrd profusely and for II
time the family were fearful that the
hurt was fatal. DR.. Bolinger was
sent for and after he had stopped the
ii was found that no bad results need
be feared.

when the proper words, properly ar
ranged are used, and when the teach
ers know how IL Use the book. But
alas how few authors de this. aud
how few tc9chers ts.ch properly !.
As il il, the reasons for objsctins are
