TWIN SISTERS "a YEARS OLD.

AlDany Argus.
In the town of Summit, Schoharie
county, are two remarkable old ladies,
twins of 81 years of age. They were born
on the sixth day of August, 1871, in
Duchess county. Four years later their
father, Henry Tinklepaugh, removed to
the town of Summit, built log house
and prepared to spend the remainder of
his days in that fertile region. Bess and
Kate, as the young lassies were called,
soon won the admiration of the sturdy
farmer lads of that section, and at sweet
sixteen, Bess accepted the lot of VIM.
Brace, and settled down to married life.
Fifteen years ago she entered her widow
hood, after long and happy married
life. Her sister, Mrs. Catherine Rider,
has respected the memory of her depart
ed husband, Phillip Rider, for forty-eight
years, and is still beautiful old lady of
many personal charms. Both of these
women are described as prepossessing.
we'll preserved, active, and in full posses
sion of their mental faculties. Each was
the mother of seven children, the eldest
of each family being alive, one at the age
of IS, the other 60 years. Each is said
to be capable of walking a distance of
five miles to the village with little appar-
ent effort, and they are, on the whole,
the most remarkable twins perhaps in
the state. Their parents reached the age
of 80 and 81 years, respectively, and a
younger brother is still livingi in Sullivan
county, at the age of 80 years.

A NEW USE FOR TOADS.


The latest and most ingenious way of
getting rid of reaches and water bugs we
have heard of, is related of a citizen of
Schenectady, whose kitchen was infest-
ed with them.
A servant hearing that toads were an
antidote, caught three ordinary hop
toads and put them in the kitchen. Not
roach or water bug, it is stated, can
now be found in the house. The toads
have become domesticated, never wan
der about the house, and are so clearly
and inoffensive that there is no objection
to their presence.
Another use for toads is to employ
them for insect destroyers in the garden.
They are determined enemies of all
kinds of snails and slugs, which, it is
we'll known, can in single night destroy
q vast quantity Of lettuce, carrots, aspara-
gus, etc. Toads are also kept in vine
yards, where they devour during the
night millions of insects that escape the
pursuit of nocturnal birds, and might
commit incalculable havoc on the buds
and young shoots of the vine. In Paris
toads are an article of merchandise.
They are kept in tubs, and sold at the
rate of 2 francs dozen.

stood, however, that all sales to the
county bear interest at the rate OF "a PEI
cent. per year, from which the county
will derive some benefit at last.
Chetopa Advance: Last week the body
of q man was found scattered along the
track at the switch below Russell creek.
Both arms and legs had been cut off and
the body was cut up into about a dozen
pieces, and one arm driven into q tie 80
that it could not be pulled out. From
the appearance of things it would seem
that bis body had been carried about
one hundred yards by one train and then
back about the same distance ~ train
going in the opposite direction. Nothing
was found that would in any way identi-
fy him.
A daring outrage was perpetrated on
q. Baker, living about six miles south of
Brainerd, Butler county. MIR. Baker
sold load of hogs yesterday, for which
he realized $63. When he returned
home and while unhitching his horses
in the barn yard, he was approached by
q stranger, who engaged him in CONVEX
sation and when Mr.. Baker turned his
back the fellow struck him on the head
with sand bag. Mr.. Baker was rem
dered insensible by the blow and while
in this condition the rufian distracted
his wallet and decamped.
Atchison Globe: As rule, the Kan
sas farmer has thorough appreciation
of the country he lives in and the advan-
tages which surround him. But there is
one particular in which the people of
this State are negligent and behind the
age. Agriculture is thoroughly known
to the masses here, but horticulture
seems to be a dead industry, and dead
er than julius Caesar at that. Hardly a
day passes but loads ofwood are brought
into Atchison containing four foot sticks
of the finest black walnut, and this
WOOD is sold for two or three dollars.
Three hundred miles east of here it is
almost impossible to buy black walnut /;
and were an eastern man to stand on q
Kansas street andFsee people filling their
stoves with it, he would drop at once in
to apoplexy. A large walnut tree in
Illinois will bring fir m fifty to five hum
dred dollars, and he purchaser will
chop and cut it. It will be noticed he
takes the roots and everything, as this
wood grows more valuable every year.
The average Kansas man chops through
the tree two or three feet above the
ground and leaves stump worth ten
dollars, It would be easier and cheaper
to sell the tree and spend the time in
planting more young walnuts.

one stay away from q future reunion for
fear of not being accommodated. There il
room for all.

A Cannon Filled With Gold,


There are any number of men here
abouts, says Troy telegram to the st.
Louis Globe Dem0cyat, who possess charts
and maps of locations said to contain
millions of buried treasures.
Down the river there are caves and
Gays where Captain Kidd's vessels are
believed to have anchored, and of these
the exact confirmation is given in charts
held by persons who are only waiting
the necessary capital before finding
fabulous wealth.
The opportunities of fortune-hunters
on the lower Hudson are not greater
than those from the Canadian line south
of the scene of Burgoyne's surrender. Il
is known that when the kings troops
started south, intent on defeating Gem
eral Gates, and, by capturing Albany,
shutting of General Washington from
the flower of the continental troops,
their officers were well supplied with
money, and tradition has it that in 1776,
when the English soldiers were passing
through Comstock, Washington county
some of the leaders became alarmed
over the prospect of surprise by the
enemy, 80 they filed q large brass can
non with gold, plugged it up, and shot
it into the creek, forty rods south OF
Comstock, and from that time to the
present there have been many different
parties at Comstock in search of this
treasure. One is q man named Chaplin.
from New jersey, with partner from
Brandon, VT. Chaplin spent q month at
Comstock year ago last winter, max
ing observations, and last week he
reached the city again with q profession
al diver from Boston and other men.
To-day 1t is announced that they have
found the cannon, but the wster at the
point is thirteen feet deep, with q strong
current, and there is about three feet Of
sand, old logs snd other derbis over and
about the treasure.
The accumulations WILDE removed and
the cannon, which is up side down, will
be hoisted ashore. There is great ex-
element in the vicinity.

NO ACTUAL LOSS.

A practical Englishman, whose wife
went to q fashionable watering place In
order to lose flesh, had her weighed be-
fore she left and found that she pulled
down the scale at It's pounds. On her
return he had her weighed again and
found that she had gained ten pounds
instead of losing any flesh.
"Why, you have gained more pounds
than you have lost"
Just wait till you add up the expense
account and you will see that have lost
q great many more pounds than / have
gained" said the wife, who knew what
she was talking about.

hog cholera is prevalent to very general
extent throughout Ottawa county.
Large numbers of Chester hogs are
being sold to Kansas breeders this year,

in midsummer, and claim that great

Delphos Carrier: Hog cholera or some
other infectious disease, is making sad
havoc among the swine all around US,
some stock men having lost nearly, their
