support Your Local Paper.

The following from the Gold Hill News
is applicable to any locality, and the read
ing of it will do no harm; "a well con-
Quoted newspaper in any town is a benefit
to it in a thousand ways. 1t is the mouth
piece, so to speak, of the town, and repre-
sents the best interests of all the citizens.
1t tells to the business and social world
what sort of a place it is published in, the
style and enterprise of its people, its eligi-
bility for residence or business, its re-
sources and prospects generally. The
character Of the business men in any town
can be pretty accurately judged by the
local newspaper OF that town, and none
understand it better than the wholesale
business men and merchants OF the metrop-
oils, outsiders and the world generally.
The generality of business men are chiefly
known through their advertising and the
style Of their advertising.
All live, ~wide-awake business men liber-
ally sustain and are properly represented
in their local papers, and moreover it is
evidence of business capacity, sagacity and
shrewdness on their part. They are assist
ing with their advertising patronage in
supporting the public journalistic repre-
sentative Of their town, and the general
public OF that town, all Of whom take and
encourage their local paper, like to see
those with whom they deal and trade prop
erly represented in the paper. The nat
ural inference is that a tradesman who will
not advertise his wares and business, lacks
confidence in what he has to sell or is
afraid to come in competition with his
more enterprising business competitors,
therefore, he is not a good man to trade
with. Yes. and this very lack of conf
dence and enterprise is appreciated always
to his disadvantage by the wholesale
houses and leading business men with
whom he deals, all Of whom are known to
the world through extensive and judicious
Advertising. The quiet, plodding trades
man who reduces his expenditures to the
limit Of parsimony and Studies how he
can get along the smoothest and spend the
least, will always remain a scrub dunghill
fowl scratching amongst the stubbie In the
great industrial field OF the world. His
aim is too low and undecided. He may
hit the target all the time. but 1t will be
among the outer circles; he will never
make a bulls-eye.
"Any man doing business in any COM
munity and depending upon that commu-
nifty for patronage and success, should in
turn give what patronage and encourage
ment he can to that community, otherwise
he is too short-sighted and narrow minded
for a business man. and infallibly will be
recognized to his disadvantage abroad as
we'll as among his townsmen; with his
principals with whom he himself has to
deal, as we'll as with those upon he depends
for success. Judiciously directed business
energy and liberal-minded enterprise Is
| better exhibited through the mediumship
and support of the local press than in any
| other way. The business man who does
not assist in keeping up and enhancing the
| prosperity Of his own town, simply cuts
| his own throat"

The barn of David Kaufman, in
Walker township, was destroyed by
i. fire ON Monday night. Nearly all the
farming implements were stored in and
About the barn and were Destroyed
Two horses and calf were burned
with the building. The crop was all in

wheat, which lay on the barn floor

bushels, and that is all that is left of the
crop of this year. The loss is estimated
at $1,000. No insurance. The fire was

o'clock. From certain tracks it is believ-
ed by some persons that man came
along in wagon, stopped moment or
two at the barn, and in that time set it
on fire and drove away.
John N. Kerr, living beyond Patter-
son, was out in his garden, pulling
weeds, one day last week, when q black
viper sprang out of the grass. The
snake sprang at Mr.. Kerr's face, but he
was too quick for the reptile and stood
erect before the snake had sprung its
length. The poisonous thing did not,
however miss him entirely; its fangs
passed through the shirt-sleeve of his
right arm and slightly scratched or
punctured the skin of the arm. Dr.
Elder was called. No serious harm re-
suited from the slight scratch. Mr.. Kerr
was too much shocked to Immediately
attack the snake, and before he recover
ed himself sufficiently to kill the thing
it had escaped.

Overcome by the Heat. = Yesterday
morning John Kinney, an engineer on
west side of the mountains started with
his engine the 355 to pull ahead on st.
Louis day express up the hill from Con-
emaugh to Gallitzin. When near Port
age and while the train was going at
full speed he was taken sick suddenly
and tainted. He fell over the hot boiler,
burning his left hand and bruising his
head. The fireman pulled him back on
the tender and Immediately whistled
down brakes. The train was stopped
and Kinney was taken on board one of
the coaches and brought to this city,
Mr.. Tom Wilson who was hauling the
train took charge of Kinney's engine as
far as Gallitzin, and left his own engine
in charge of his fireman and assistant
road foreman Mr.. John Bowman, who
happened to be on board. Mr.. Kinney's
injuries were dressed by the company's
physician and he returned home on way
passenger. He was probably unwell
when he started, having lost considera-
BILE sleep which together with the in
tense heat, prostrated him. We DO not
remember of a similar occurrence on the
road.-AHoono Tribune of 5Ist alt.

A barn belonging to Mrs. Fyler, one
mile east of Newburg, was burned with
all its contents, on Friday afternoon a
week. The origin of the fire is supposed
to be from some little boys who were
playing with matches.
On Tuesday last as son of Samuel
Bowers, of Newton township, on the
Ridge Road, was hauling water from
the Green Spring to supply the boiler of
an engine that was at work threshing on
the place, he had his leg badly mangled
by being run over by the wagon. He
was standing on the rubber beam draw
ing the rubbers, when he was in some
way thrown under the wagon. The
wheel passed from his foot to his knee
and strange to say while the flesh was
crushed almost to jelly no bones were
broken.
The other day Mr.. Keiser took his
gun and went to a stream of water near
by for the purpose of shooting mink
which he knew harbored there
While sighting around he observed
among the grass what he supposed to
be the mink. He drew fine bead on
the object and fired. When he came to
examine his game he found it to be his
own valuable dog, which he greatly
priced.
Last Thursday Joseph Shenabrough,
who is a tenant living on the farm of
VIM. Wagner, about one-fourth mile
east of town, met with an accident
Mr.. David Beecher, who owns separa-
tor which is propelled by horse power,
was thrcshing for Mr.. Shanabrough.

On Monday night bright light of fire
was seen in the direction of Strasburg.-
We learn that it was the house of Mr..
John D. Lehman,o on the StIasburg road,
one mile north of Rocky Spring. The
following are the particulars Mrs. Leh-
man had gone to the garret early in the
evening for the purpose of getting some
bed clothing, carrying candle with her.
About half past eight smoke was smelt
and on running out of the house the
family discovered their home in a.blaze
AS it was fruitless to attempt saving the
building, all attention was turned to-
wards the barn which stood near by. 1t
and few articles in the house were
saved. Mr.. Lehman says as the fire
originated in the garret it is supposed it
was the work of the candle in some
manner or other. The building was q

Rev. j. A. McGill, of McCoysville,
took ten-year- old son with him to Con-
cord, on Sunday, the Goth inst, where
he went to preach and stopped with Mr.
John Robertson. While there, his son
went to the stable by himself. He was
absent but a short time when the in
mates of the house were startled by his
screams. They went to see what was
wrong with him, and found that cross
sow, which had litter of pigs, had the
boy down and his clothes nearly torn
off him. They rescued the boy from
the SOW and took him into the house,
and, upon examination, found that he
was badly bitten on the right arm and
hand and on the left hip. He has been
lying at Mr.. Robertson's from the eff
fects of the wound since the occurrence :;
but, we are informed, he has now recov-
cred sufficiently to, and will, be brought
to his home at McCoysville, sometime

On last Monday night while the fami.

there was q wolf took the advantage of
their absence and captured one of his
valuable ewes, which was of blooded
stock. The wolf has been heard several
times this summer along the Shade

up full force the next morning and

We hope 1t may be captured before 1t
does any more damage.

This morning, about five o'clock, as
Mrs. Adam Frederleks, residing on
North Pitt street, was passing from the
mouse TO the yard, she tripped and fell,
dlslocatlng her left shoulder. DIR. Keif-
fer was sent for and upon arriving rem
dered the necessary medical aid. At
this writing the patient Is doing as well
as could be expected.
A. few days ago the folks about Mi
chael Brandt's place along the Dillsburg
railroad, discovered strange smell
about the barn. A search was made.
and on Thursday night they discovered
that II proceeded from the hay NOW,
which contained about fifty tons OF hay.
On digging down it was found that the
hay was on fire, and had been slowly
smouldering for three or four days
The water from the railroad tank was
turned on, and hands set to work to
remove the hay from the barn. Great
care had to be taken, rs every now and
then the flames would burst forth. 1t
was finally removed and the barn saved.
The hay is total loss, as ii is burnt and
scorched as black as coal The fire
originated In the lower part of the NOW,
and was, no doubt, caused by the heat
ing of the hay.
AS the evening train pulled in yester-
day evening, Mrs. II. Kelso, residing q
short distance from town, aud who had
been visiting the Changers Picnic,
alighted from the cars and Immediately
missed her pocket book, containing
about thirteen dollars. AS the crowd
was large, there was no use of looking
after it, and 1t was given up as lost.
Hezekiah Weaver and family, of Up
per Allen township, were taken sick
with what was supposed to be diarrhna,
and for days they suffered from the NAL
ady, from the effects of which Mr..
Weaver died last week after being re-
duced almost to q skeleton. The rest of
the family are recovering slowly from
! the disease. A rumor is current, and
we endeavored to trace it to an authen-
tic source, but could not, that Mr. Weav-
er and family were poisoned by eating
potatoes which had been sprinkled with
Paris green. AS we stated, this is a
rumor: it may be true, and we shall
continue our Investigations until we are
satisfied as to its truthfulness or not.
