the lower gauge and opened it, which
at once drenched him with steam and
hot water. There WAS ninety pounds
Of steam on at the time and the noise
made By blowing of the water at that
pressure, was heard for several miles.
1t Is the most singular accident We ev-
er recorded. The animal which Was .
valuable one will probably die.
The McVeytown Journal of the 18th
inst. tells the following: Yesterday
week an exciting episode occurred in .
classic locality of Bratfon township. A
certain weli-known wcll digger and
much married man Was employed by
muscular farmer to dig drain on his
premises, and one evening after his Ia
bors we're finished he took . seat In the
kitchen where his employers wife was
busy preparing the evening meal. The
husband was temporarily absent. In
the conversation which ensued between
the hostess and hired man the former
related singular y dream which she
had had on the night previous. 1t was
to the effect that while she was sleep
ing ahe thought the aforesaid weli-dig-
ger had passed through her apartments
several times and that on each occasion
he had impressed kiss upon her lips.
This somewhat romantic recital encour-
aged the party Of the second part to
kiss her just as he had in the dream.
but while in the act of doing so the
husband appeared in the doorway. He
didn't wait for explanations, but pro-
ceeded to inflict summary punishment
with horse whip, right vigorously sp-
piled. The presumptuous we'l-digger
made haste to get away from the sting
ing lashes. When some distance from
the house the enraged husband fired
several shots from shot gun at his re-
treating figure. he was running like
mad as far as be could be seen and II
is presumed be is still running match

Col. Copeland who will lecture be-
fore the institute comes highly re-
commended. Professor Raub says
of him: Col. Copeland towers head
and shoulders above the average lee
turer and never disappoints his audi
ences. 1 have heard him lecture sew
en- times and so can speak ''by the
card" His ability is beyond ques-
tion, and his rich fund of humor ap-
parently inexhaustible.
Deputy State Superintendent says
of him, 1 am personally acquainted
with Col. L. F. Copeland, of South
Bend, Ind, and have heard him lee
ture at many of our Teachers Insti-
tutes during the past year. As an
eloquent, witty and instructive lec-
turer ne has few equals. 1 heartily
recommend the gentleman as a lee
turer to the County Superintendents
of our State.
No mere synopsis Of the lecture
would do Col Copeland justice. His
style is a combination of Coughs
and Trains in their prime. He has
the action of the one and the con-
slant flow of words of the other. He
painted his thoughts in all the beau
ties of imagery, and held the atten-
ton of his audience for two hours
As an orator he mas few equals

twenty-one times and every time was
delighted, edited and amusingly en-
tertaine1. I consider him the peer
of any lecturer in America.

Mifiintown people always turn out
to hear Colonel Sanford This time
he comes to talk about paris in War
Times" The editor of the Williams
port Telegraph was to hear him de
liver the lecture just mentioned and
this is what he said of it in his paper:
The Colonels eloquence is wonder
ful, his humor irresistible, and his
audience laughed and cried alter
nately. When he closed with most
magnificent peroration, that caused
the most profound attention, the al
ditors seemedl 10th to leave their seats,
and they fingered as if hoping to
hear more OF his magical eloauence.
