Mr.. PHILIP SHOWERS and son
George, accompanied by several
gentlemen from Philadelphia went
to Hampshire county last week on q
deer hunt. We have not heard from
them since they left, and as no con-
signments OF venis0n Eave been re-
ceived here, it is reasonable to pre-
sumo that up to date they have not
succeeded in killing more than they
could consume.

TON. On Tuesday noon, DR. John
L. Atlee, of Lancaster, Pa, success
fully performed the operation of ova-
riotomy on the wife of Mr.. John
Mong, residing near this city. Able
assistance was rendered by the at
tending physician, DR.. McSherry,
Drs- Snodgrass, Myers and Hedges.
The tumor was of the multilocular
variety and weighed, as near as
could be estimated, 40 pounds. The
patient, Notwithstanding the great
debility and emaciation bore up very
we'll under the operation, and was
doing as well as could be expected

Gedey's Lady's Book for December
closes the forth volume Of this maya
zine. Itmight With propriety becalled
a suyonir number as itexceeds In beau-
ty anything that has heretofore been Is
sued by the present management of
this publication. The attractive Illus
trations make it the most eagerly
soughtlmagazine on our book-table.
The steel engrayings illustrate most
beautifully story and poem that appear
in the magazine, while the picture in
tints of Great Aunt Dorothea's Christ
mas Gift" illustrating beautiful fash
ion and story of Godey's Lady's Book
might well be termed q happy hit: the
regular col0red fashion plates will Ger
tainly be commended on account OF
their execution. Abraham Lincoln is
the subject 0ftha presidential portrait,
and an excellent engraving OF the In
dian Bronze Group which has just been
completed for Lincoln Park, Chicago,
very appropriately follows the portrait.
The colored work department page and
the following thirteen pages Ct fancy
work and winter fashions will surely
gain the recognition they deserve. AS
for stories, Mrs. s. A. Shields, the for
mer editress OF the book, opens with a
charming Christmas story "Kriss krin-
gle's Clerk, '.Wedded to Misery finds
a most satisfactory conclusion, and
"Lucindav by Hollis Freeman, a sequel
to ssMerIin," will be welcomed by the
regular readers. But the feature that
will most interest the ladies is a propo-
sition made in the "Arm Chair to allow
each subscriber in the future to make
their own selection of full size cut pa
per pattern from any fashion illustra-
ted in the magazine each month, and as
we count some thirty illustrations of
fashions in this number, 1t impresses us
that the publishers have decided at any
cost to captivate all Of their lady read
ers. The January number will contain
contributions by Marion Harlan :.
Christian Reid, Thos. Collier, Ella Rod
man, Church and others, and we are
promised during the year story by

A GUILD individual from the vi
cinity of Hedgesville came to town
in one horse wagon on last Satur-
day. Coming from a prohibition
section of the county, and being
quite thirsty, he took on good sup
ply OF Huntsville and was detained
in starting home. He went out
about half past six o'clock, and was
as merry as a hooking bird. After
crossing the railroad, it being lit
tie dark and his eyes somewhat dim,
he drove straight into Mr.. G. M.
Shaffer & Sons coal dump. He was
singing I'm gwine to climb de gol-
den stairs" at the top of his voice
when his horse, wagon and himself
suddenly vanished from sight down
into the coal dump. You can bet
that was a scared darkey. When
assistance reached him the horse
was found almost standing on his
head, the wagon piled on top of him
and the driver scattered around
loose, and praying as il he thought
the end OF the world had come. Mr..
D. w. Shaffer unlocked the door OF
the dump, and, assisted by some 9th
err persons. succeeded iH getting the
horse and wagon out of the door, ct
least ten feet below whore they fell
in. The driver, who was somewhat
dazed, gathered hiWself up, and his
nrst exclamation we .'fore God,
Massa, l frot de bottom had dropped
clean out" Singular - it nAy seem
the horse was not seriously hurt BY
his tumble down into the bin, and
the wagon was not vt VII injured 1.-THE
driver escaped With . big scare and a
few bruises. After getting things
Strengthened out, he resumed his
journey, but we think instead of
"Climbing the Golden Stairs" he
changed his tune to ''Jorden ana =
hard road to trabbAln We suppose
if he said any thing about the matter
wheL he got home, he told them
that the Pirtsburg Express hit him
"squar in de center as he was cross
ing de track" Well wager he felt
like something had doubled him up.

THE COLUGO.

In the forests of the islands consti-
tuting the Indian Archipelago is found
a curious flying animal that forms the
connecting link between the lemur and
the bat, The natives call it the colugo.
and also the "fying-fox," but it is more
like fying-monkey, as the lemurs are
cousins of the monkeys. Like the
bats, these animals sleep in the day
time, hanging from the limbs and
branches of trees, head downward; but
as evening comes on they sally forth,
often doing great harm to the fruit on
the neighboring plantations. In some
parts of Java they are so numerous
that it is found necessary to protect the
fruit-trees with huge nets. The extent
of their flights through the air is some
thing astonishing. They sometimes
drop to the ground and hop along with
shutting kind of leap, but if they are
alarmed they spring to the nearest tree
and in a moment reach its top by Sc
ries of bounds. Out upon the branches
they dart, and with rush are off into
space. Sailing through the air like
some great bird, down they go oblique'
ly, swift as an arrow, hundred and
fifty feet or more, rising again in 6
graceful curve and alighting safely on
distant tree. In these great leaps they
carry their young, which cling to them
or sometimes follow them in thei1
headlong fight, uttering hoarse an6
piercing cries. The colugos live al
most exclusively on fruit, preferrine
plantains and the young and tender
leaves of the cocoa-palm, though some
| writer's aver that they have seen then
dart into the air and actually catcl
birds. The fying-lemurs are perfect.
| harmless, and so gentle as to be easil.,
tanned. They have lovely dark eye
and very intelligent and knowing faces
