rush. He goes to Lewls0urg, buys out
that first class Watch and Jewelry
Store Of Capt. j. L. Brook, returns

Too Much SCALP.-Centre county
was severely afflicted with scalps last
year and it cost the county treasury
no less than $l243i to pay for all the
wild cat, fox and skunk sc,lps, which
is rather steep scalp bill for single
year. There is strong probability
however that much crookedness pre-
walls in this scalp business, and d. C.
Canoe, Justice of the Peace of Tay-
lor township was arrested the other
week and lodged in Jail, charged with
having made out false probates repre-
senting that certain persons bad killed
a certaian nImber of foxes. The trial
will determine whether Canoe is guilty
or not.

second, and later by third explosion,
each one more terrible than the last.
The last explosion carried death and
destruction with it or all sides. Great
crowds of people were standing close
to the burning building when the Sc
cond explosion Occurred, but many left
then, else the destruction OF lives
would have been much greater. Sew
ent9en persons Were killed an1 about
fifty wounded, the most of them bat
slightly. The scene IF the great dis
aster WAS hes re ID ns in the ex-
treme.
In these d4y5 when disease seems
to be af0at i: the very air, people
should take most scruI ullus care Of
