SussleIr,s Victim.

Life. the New York comic paper. has
in q recent number a satire on the nau-
seating manner of society reporting for
the daily papers, which will be easily
recognized by many people as but little
exaggerated from what they see in the
columns Of certain class of daily news
papers. The sketch is worthy Of re-
printing in Tanay FAR;

trembling approaches the inner sanctum.

About II o'clock last evening as George

there was a wreck. The occupants OF the
buggy were thrown several feet and the
horse continued on across the bridge with
the vehicle dragging at bis heels. Mr.. Hess,
on attempting 10 rise, found 1t was impossi-
BILE, as his right leg was broken near t1e ankle,
and he was bruised oil over. Mr.. Saeider

seriously. Mr.. Hess was soon after picked

A Drunken Pool out OF Pare wontoH.
ness shoots q Nan.


Wednesday evening, during the smart
shower which fell, several men and two boys
took refuge from the rain in the Hempfsld
tunnel. Among the men were two VIII had
been hunting, one Of whom was drunk. The
other man had the gun, double barreled
shot gun, but on entering the tunnel set 1t
down beside the raj 'road track. Shortly
man named SnodgraSs, who lives In tae lower
part OF the city, just east OF McColloch street,
and works In quarry ont the rosd, passed
through on his wpy home from work. AB he
was about half wby across the railroad bridge
over the creek, the drunken man In the tnn-
mel picked up the gun, and with the remark,
watch me shoot that d. mans head OF"
deliberately raised the gun to his shoulder
and fired. The main body Of the charge mar
row escaped SnodgraSs, but several OF the
shot struck him on thearm he turned, and
asked, "What did you do that fot? You
have hit me on the ann"
go on, d. you, or I'll blow your brains
out !" said the man, and he again raised the
gun. Not caring to risk bis epidermis any
further, SnodgrASs did go on.
The man with the gun then turned, and
began to load up the empty barrel, remark
ing TO the two boys, neither OF whom was over
twelve years old, that II THY did not give
him some moR y, he would blow taeir d.
brains out. Neither OF the youngsters had
any money. II they had had, they were
frightened enough TO have given 1t ali to the
man. They managed to evRde the man and
get out OF tue tunnel, after which they lost
no time 10 getting home.
Neither SnodgFass nor the two boys, one Of
whom was son OF Dr.. Baird's, knew the
man, but they think they would recognize
him II they were to see him again. The
shooting was one oil the most censurable acts
committed In the city for a long time, and
that Snodgr4.s was net seriously hurt was
more attributable to the bad aim than any
thing else.

The Local Wool Market

dtuDdaVttte uusettts
Wool has begun moving at various points
along the line at the prices set by the buyers,
50 and So cents. Beside the sales at Unior-
port reported In the Gazette 4 few days ago,
A. o. Mansfield has bought number OF
clips In Wells and Sm!thRsld t,wrships, IT,
Guiding Smiley Johnsons aud John w.
Sutherland's, az like prices. These are two
leading men In their respective localities,
aud 1t Is therefore probable that selling will
become general even ct the low rate, although
there is really no reason for re scare among
the growers which leads them to accept q
reduction OF seven cents when the
tariff decrease Is only three cents
per pound. In our judgment the men who
refuse to sell at So will obtain at least three
or four cents more by holding short time,
but we do not ask our farmer friends to de-
pend wholly upon our views in the matt r.

the GRAPE CROP.
Prospects Of Good Yield this Year
About Picking.


About picking. -
While at Rev. Father kreusch's hospitable
residence yssterdOy reporter embraced the
opportunity TO inspect the condition OF the
vines and young grapes, and to get the Fa-
theirs ideas OF the prospects for yield this
year. The vines are exceedingly thrifty, free
from miIdsw or blight Of any kind. as well as
ms cts, and the young grapes are already
nicely formed and apparently very plentiful.
Father Kraugch rallet attention to these
facts and expressed the opinion that there
would be nearly an average crop with favor
able weather from now u I'll picking time.
''The grapes were all killed by the frost in
April" said he, "and these leaves are from
the second shoots put out. Most Var cites
will net yield over half OF the usual
nuRlber Of punches, but the larger
Szs OF the grapes will make
up the bulk. The grapes grow much nicer
with fsN er on the vines. Some OF the later
CatARbas escaped the frost, and will yield
an unusually large number, bat the Con.
cord aud ether early varieties will show the
effects OF the cold snap"
Father greusch has forty-aine acres OF
vineyard, and makes wire Of all the grapes
He generally employs girls u do his pick.
ing, and be says that weeks before any Of
the grapes ripen he has applicants for en-
ployment as pickers. He keeps q man to
waIch the girls to check their propensity to
eat all the incest grapes, and to prevent
their wasting those mat fall on the ground in
picking.
