Gardenville, 18th District.-About two
weeks ago young man named Harmsn Froh-
boese, aged 81 years, living with Mr.. George L..
Mumma, of this place. was killed on the latters
farm. He was riding On a load of corn fodder,
and when crossing small guley was thrown to

member had charge of the funeral.

trying to pass another wagon when the accident
occurred.
The ice-ponds in this section are filed with
water awaiting freeze. Our brewers and butch

Our market gardeners are now finishing up their
fall work. Many are busily engaged covering up
their celery beds, and as the crop in unusually
large, much difficulty is experienced in getting
leaves to cover with. Prices are very low,
and with the unusual expense and trouble of
watering the tender plants account of last falls
drouth, the crop will not pay much.
Hog killing is now the order of the day and
some very fine ones are being slaughtered. 1t is
not unusul to see the fires burning and prepara-
tions made before daylight for these events.

about butchering time for assistance, and on ac-
count of their knowledge of sausage making, &C.,
are Messrs. VIM. Lutz, L. Hostetter, J. NJ. Herr

The Belair Times or last week says: "The Tow
sontown gentleman who started home from the
Belair jubilation the other night and woke up in
Delta the next morning, ought not to feel that his
case is an isolated one. He must indeed have
been badly blinded by enthusiasm if he could
not perceive the contagion spread of the general
Joy. One hatless patriot from the 1st district be-
came stranded in a turnip patch at the east end
of town, and was piloted out by sympathizing
and sober resident of that suburb. Awell-known
MarshalPs man, on departing for home, gave an
exhibition of horsemanship that astonished the
natives, and went out of town apparently try
ing to strangle his horse by encircling its neck
with both arms from above; having wasted look
of maudlin and unutterable scorn upon preco-
cious urchin who stopped him to suggest that he
would do better if he'd get inside Deer Creek

Doctor Bailey Cutters

Superior to any Cutter in the market, not only
for cutting Ensilage Crops but also for
Hay and other Dry Forage.
The Doctor Bailey Cutters have many adgan-
| tages possessed by no other cutter. Greater ca
pacity than any other using the same power
Strength, simplicity, durability and rapidity of
work are among the qualifications. They are
giving entire satisfaction, and the increasing
demand shows their great popularity. The power
machines are all furnished with two cranks for use
by hand, in this way saving the necessity for pur-
chasing two cutters, one for hand and one for
power. The largest machine can be readily oper-
ated by one or two men, and this fact alone shows
that the machines require very little power in
parison with their great capacity.

Is Il Chambers about six months ago Mr..
John II. Scarf, of Towsontown, lost horse from
n disease which some supposed to be glanders-a
very contagious and dangerous ailment. A short
time thereafter another one of his horses was
taken with apparently the came disease, and after
doctoring it for some time, without any satisfac-
tory results, he finally gave the animal to Mr..
william Galloway, of this place, feeling satisfied
that it could not be cured. The latter removed
the horse, about three months ago, to his stable
ON the north side of the town, but the disease pro-
gressed and the neighbors, who owned horses,
became alarmed and this week some of them went
before the Grand Jury, hoping through this means
to gain protection for their stock. How that
matter will result remains to be seen.

To Prevent the Smell of Garlick.,-A
writer in an exchange says that ne was trouo,eu
with the smell of earlick or wild onion in his
milk. To obviate this he put the COWS in the
stable at about three o'clock each afternoon, and
fed on hay and gave their grain as usual: The
result was all he anticipated, rest OF three
hours allowed this scent to pass off in the other
secretions, though previously it very strongly
favored milk and butter. The same course woud
probably be an advantage when the milk tastes Oh
