SulrLEy's MIRACULOUS CAT T-A-1-L.
For sure that was big cat story in the
Duiiy Neus of last Saturday. pr. John Ship
lev of Frederick stated by what was in print
that he madea very narrow escape from the
claws Of a wild cat and should have caught
him within two miles Of our village; of course
he told wonderful tale about it when he
arrived in Sabillasvillc with the dead cat; he
told his wonderful adventure in the wIt and
mountainous range Of the Blue Ridge max
ing his craftsmanship equal to Wild Bill.
We arc not very fond of having such large
cal stories told about our place when there
is none about rs. What he stated he shot
was a stump tail lynx, we havca good many
of them sticking around, but they will not
attack any one, will not even fight dog un-
less they are corncrcd. But row for the truth
of the matter; the Lynx was run tho Jay be
fore by some dogs and was run up n tree and
was shot by Mr.. John Wctzel and Mr. Ship
ley bought tho stump tail creature to spccu-
late upon, thinking that the hide would
bring q couple dollars and the scalp five dol
lars But the big spec did not amount TO
much scalp worth nothing, hide about 30 Cts
So the speculation was gwen to the Nt'cs as
positive fact We suppose Mr.. Shipley is
not dreaming very pleasant dreams since his
encounter, but that is not the worst cat

From Oak Hall.
The Samson Of the Period.

Imperial power
rests with the Farmer.
The great freight cor
porations seek him
that they may take
toll upon his ample
stores. We traders
seek him to take ony
stuff. His staples are
down, his face long
but why? No reason,
while his dollar will
buy so much. The
Oak Hall stock
proves this. Our
story for this spring
is a tale of cheapness.

December 81, 1882, the gross receipts were
Excluding the cash on hand from the prey
ious years occount,) $.,443.4o This sum
embr accd $2,99Oss, earnings from passenger
transportation, and $3,63S00 from freight
traffic. The gross earnings for the year end
ing Dec, mbcr 81, 1888, Excluding the cash
from previous statement, and also excluding
the proceeds of bills discountcd) were So
ej925, of which amount the sum of 81 so
WAS from freight and the sum of S2,SG3 Is
was from passengers. The gross receipts
tor the year ending December 81, 1884, (cX-
Guiding the cash from previous stat"m' nt)
were S9,l5157, of which amount the sum OF
$5,Gsl 30 arose from freights and the sum OF
81, $50 GO from passengers 1t will thus he
observed that the earnings have swcllcd from
