A new enterprise has been started in
Mechanicsburg, Cumberland county, by
j. w. Ringrose & Co., and that is the
making of new style of Leather Fly
Nets. These nets are said to be great
improvement over any style yet made,
while the price they will be sold at, is no
greater than is asked for the poorer
article. Store keepers, before supplying
themselves should see these nets and
learn prices, and farmers should ask
the merchant with whom they deal to
get at least sample to show them. For

A Strange Haul.-Recently while Mr..
George w. Philips, jr., residing coroner
of Second and Liberty streets, was fish
ing along the flats west of independence
island, using small net for catching
crabs for bait, he brought to the surface
a clever sized muscle which held firmly
between its shells, the head of dead
water snake, about thirty inches in
length. The theory is, that while the
shell of the muscle was wide open expos
ing the meat, the snake thrust its head
between the lids and by quick move
nent of the mollusk the shells closed ON
the head of the snake and held 1t securely
till it was drowned. The muscle, strange
to say, was alive when captured. --Hdp'-

A Difficult Problem Solved.

Ambition, competition and over-exer-
ton use up the vital powers of men and
women, so that desire for stimulants
seems to be natural human passion,
and drunkenness prevails on account of
this necessity for bodily and mental in
vigoration. Parker's Ginger Tonic fair
ly solves the difficult problem, and has
brought health and happiness into many
desolate homes. 1t does not tear down
an already debilitated system, but builds
it up without Intoxicating. 26 I'm

Badly Hurt.-Philip Barkley an en-

pile of ore falling up on him complete

body, and crushing him to the ground.
He was got out as soon as possible and
removed to his home for medical treat
ment. DIR. Orris was called to attend to
his injuries. His jaw was badly broken
and his face was crushed in, while other
injuries some of them internal, make
his case very serious one.

Cumberland County.-We copy the fol-
lowing from the Cumberland papers
of last week
A lady named Mrs. Umholtz, from
Carlisle, died at the Oakville camp Sup-
day afternoon. She had been subject to
rheumatism and 1t suddenly going to
her heart caused her death.
On Saturday last little child of Mr..
David Farmer. who lives near the Red
Barn, was drowned in a pond near the
house. The child was missed but
short time and when found life was ex-
tipct. DIR. Betz, of Oalxville, was sent
for as soon as possible who rendered
medical aid but without avail.
One day last week Mr.. Isaac Kuhn,
of Mifflin township, had the misfortune
of being badly gored by a ferocious bull.
Mr.. X. had driven the cattle out to water
when the bull attacked him, knocking
him down and goring him in the side
and shoulder. Fortunately for Mr.. X.
he had large club in his hand, with
which he struck the animal over the
head thereby tanning him somewhat.
Mr.. X. might have sustained more seri-
Gus injuries had it not been for the club
with which he dealt the blows.

The Rock Island Argus., 1881-10-31

A correspondent of the /, London
Times, writing of the Electric Exhibi-
| ton at Paris. says:
During the last few days a number
of new machines have been in action to
show the different applications of cleo
| tricity as motive power. This is
special branch of the subject, which
will attract q large number Of visitors.
| Most of the machines OF this class are
in the northwest corner of the building.
| Here the plowing machine of M. Menier
is exhibited by NJ. Felix. and although
it does not actually plow the ground, 1t
is interesting to see the way in which.
the electro-motor drags the plow with
three shares across the space devoted
to it, while q workman Sits in it and
guides its direction. Then there is
circular saw driven by electricity. The
diameter OF the saw Is three feet, and
the planks upon which it works are five
inches thick. NJ. Plat exhibits in the
same part of the building stone-eutter
and an electrical hammer, which does
all the work usually assigned to the
steam hammer. Close to these ma
chimes is another for pumping water,
driven by a Gramme motor; the large
volume of water which is thrown out
conveys to the eye some idea. of the
great force which can be transmitted
by electricity. although in reality this
machine does not require nearly SO
much force as many other motors in
the exhibition. In the same corner we
find a number of machines for sewing
and for driving 'bandsaws, and so
forth, all driven by the convenient little
motor of NJ. Depreza There is also an e
embroidering machine, which is more
interesting from its mechanical con-
struction than from its being driven by
electricity. Near to this spot there is
also rock-drilling machine, for use
with black diamonds; the drill rotates
under the Influence of Gramme ma
chine, and while a hole is being bored
it advances under the Influence OF the
water pressure obtainable in Paris,
which is about three atmospheres.

A Blanksoot Belle.

The Toronto Globes correspondent
out west with Lord Lorne gives tlis de-
scription of the costume of a Blackfoot
belle: "The upper portion of her face,
including forehead, eyes, and cheeks,
was painted in bright chrome yellow,
the lower portion of her face was
scarlet, she wore o scarlet blanket
thrown loosely over her shoulder, and
under this was a long loose blouse
made out Of dark navy blue iblan-
ket. and trimmed with pipings Of
scarlet and white. This blouse was
fastened at the waist with leather
belt fully eight inches broad and lit
eraily covered with large bosses OF
polished brass. On her neck was o
string of brass beads as large as cher
ries. One of her bracelets consisted OF
coil of heavy brass wire that would
weigh not less than a pound and half.
while the other, which WAS of nearly
the same weight, was made OF large
brass beads; several of her fingers were
nearly covered with coils OF brass wire
and beads
