This is the reason why cats wash their
faces after meals: A cat caught a sparrow
and was about 10 devour it. but the spar
row said "No gentleman eats me ill he
has first washed his face" The cat. struck
with this remark, set the sparrow down and
began TO wash his face with his paw, but
the sparrow flew away. This ve1ed puss
exceedingly, and he said "As long as l

ward" Which all cats do to this day-OId
Fable.
The criminal negligence, of shooting at
an object, without knowing what it may be.
IN the woods of a settled community. is again
set forth, IN the iollowIn. item from the
Liverpool Sun. Last week one day a citi-
zen of Turkey Valley was out in the woods
after turkeys, and he saw what he thought
was 4 turkey moving about in the thick
bushes, so he took deliberate aim with his
rifle and fired at it. 1t WAS not turkey. but
one of Joseph KaIn's boy, moving his head
about, and the bullet went through hi, hat
and hair grazing the head.
In New York there has been a searching
investigation for mistake es and Irregularities
in the work OF election boards. In the 2ith
election district the entire board of canvas
se-s was arrested and locked up in the
TOmbs because of failure to file election
returns. In Juniata county the same mis-
take was made, and if fuss had occurred
about who received the highest vote the
return judge from Thompsontown the re-
turn Judge from Turbett, and the return
Judge from Black Log would all have been
sent for and probably put under arrest for
having failed TO file their election returns in
the office of the Prothonotary AT the ii me
prescribed by law. 1t is always bsst to
comply with the act OF Assembly and thus
be out Of the storm.

family looked out into the ward whence the
sound came. Their eyes We're greeted by
an object on the ground. Ths previnus ev-
sning had been hollowen'an and it was con-
cluded by the younger members Of the fam
ily that trick was coute mplated BY the
bundle that lay BY the gate, however, the
mysterious look ing object was approached
and opened and TO the amaZcment Of the
family it containsd boy baby about =
months old. woman WAS seen getting off
4 passenger train at Thompsontown the pre-
vious evening with basket that looked
like the one that the baby contained and it is
