What do tanners say 10 this statement
A calf was killed and the hide taken off in
Zo nsville, Lehigh county, in the morning.
The skin was taken to Chas. Burkhsltcr's IS
tannery at noon. By evening of the
same day Mr.. Burkhalter had ii all
tanned and promptly handed It to
the shoemaker. By next morning pair
of boots was completed and put on by the
owner, so that what was in the flesh of the
calf one day was pair of boots the next
1t was without doutt the quickest tanning
on record. Mr.. B. makes a specially of tan
ming sheep and calf skin, in fact tans moth
ing else. He is able to tan any sheep skin
in fifteen minutes, leaving the wool all on.
This is his own invention and he says there
is no other man living that knows how to
do il.
The man who goes to the field or wood
! and shoots at an object not knowing wheth-
| it is a man bird or beast should be severely

Run, Perry county, went out to hunt wild
turkeys, neither of them knowing the othei

Weaver in the woods adjoining. Sc llers
seeing something moving IN the woods
thought it was wild turkey and shot at it
Several shot struck Weaver in the face
and one penetrated his side and has not ye'

cheek and dropped into his mouth. Th'
wound is painful but not necessarily fatal.
