the other only one was fractured. Tn

-Woodlawn camp meeting is becom-
ing famous, not as camp ground, but
as one for rows aud drunkenness. There
was time when camp meetings were a
blessing to the country, but, like many
other things, have had their day. As to
doing religious good they have lost their
power, and the sooner they are dispensed
with the better.
Look out for the great attraction at

In hauling away tho rubbish from
where the stables once stood at the Deer
Park Hotel, a few bones OF a skeleton
was discovered. The place where the
bones were found had never been disturb.
cd since Mr.. Lewis has been proprietor
Of that house. 1t is hard to tell what age
person the bones are Of. There is no sign
of coffin, and it looks though the body
had been buried without one. II is
mystery as to how the bones came there.
There Is graveyard close by, but how
could the bones Of the dead get from the
yard SO near the buildings, unless the re-
mains were deposited long before the

The narrow escape of young Lansen-
dale, few weeks ago, ought not only be
warning to parents to keep their child
ren of wagons, but also to keep them
away from the depot and tracks alto
gether, unless accompanied by older per-
sons. Recently a number of narrow es-
capes have been made by small boys, and
We trust parents will profit by the advice
given through the columns of THE LED
GER, which has been given in the kind
lest spirit. When persons take the fact
into consideration that between SO and
100 trains pass through daily and that
many Of the express trains run one mile
per minute, they cannot fail to discern
this danger is not imaginary on our part.
