A family named Taylor, at Turkey Hill,
Pa. did not exactly entertain an angel
unawares the other day, but circum-
stance occurred that must have recalled
that idea. A tramp asked them for some
thing TO eat and they gave him hearty
meal. Shortly after he left he returned
in haste and told them a great snow slide
was moving down towards the house.
They lust had time to escape, when the
building was completely covered by the
huge mass. At last accounts the tramp
was helping them tunnel in the direction
of the pantry.

war by entering into an agreement to con-
