LOCAL INTELLIGENCE.
"sOLID CHUNKS or WISDOM"

by y PIN Hole Philosopher and Hu,norist
1t don't concern us, of course, but il
may not be amiss to suggest to the Com
modore of the Examiner that he had better
cOnfide the preparation of his weekly to-
bacco report to the hands of his regular
reporter, and not risk its preparation to
field of literature than with the tobacco
field. The book worm is very small in
sect compared with the tobacco worm, and
the student of "Car!yle's brilliant but
fatal dOgmatisms is of small account in
a tobacco patch when compared with the
boy that spreads the manure, or picks
the worms from the "succulent leaf"
The wisdom of distinguished " English
philosophers now dead - is Of no more
account to wide-awake tobacco grower
than was the empty skull Of poor Yoricls
to the grave-dig"er. The Examiner scribe
is doubtless fellow of infinite jest, but
he should not misquOie the remarks of
others. Ever since last August the In
has week after week de-
clared the tobacco crop of 1880 to be badly
tiea- bitten and in our very last report We
said "it was undeniably badly bitten by
the flea, and yet the Examiner falsely
charges us with saying 1.-THE crop OF 80
has really no holes in it, AS to the
present improved appearance Of the crop

cess, we merely stated the "plausible

Might Have Been Worse.


Last evening about dusk young lady
we'll known and popular in the social Cir
cles of Lancaster was indulging in the
healthful and invigorating exercise of a
horseback ride, just beyond the city limits,
and before the admiring gaze of q num-
ber of friends was affOrding an illustration
of the grace of skilled equestrianship that
would have reflected no discredit upon
Madame DOckrill or any other star of the
arena, when, suddenly and without warn
ing, the saddle girth lOOsencd, and as the
horse was moving along ut lively rate
his fair rider was unable to retain her
equilibrium. She made heroic attempt
to hold on to the name of the frightened
steed, but Intellectually, and the next
moment she was thrown forward, alisht-
ing apparently right under tho hOOfs of
the horse. which continued on his mad
career down the road. Before her hor-
rified friends had time to rush forward
and ascertain the extent of her injuries,
the young lady had lightly reyained her
feet, and exclaiming "Pm not hurt one
bit. made her excuses, and short time
afterwards reappeared in the company
with toilet rearranged, and for the re-
mainder of the evening was the merriest
OF the merry party. Her. escape was a
narrow one and was due to the young
lady's GOODNESS and presence of mind in
getting out Of the horses way after she
had fallen. The amount of damage con-
sisted in badly torn dress and q severe
fright for all hands. The horse was
