STARTLED BY A METEOR.

MILWAUKEE, WIS.,, July 90
People in the vicinity of Grafton,
Ozaukee county, are very much ex.
cited over the fall of a meteor near
that place. While a party of harves-
tiers were at work one afternoon in q
barley field on the farm of Henry
Diedrick, a mile and a-half south of
the village, they were suddenly
startled by loud and strange
sounding noise, not unlike the roar
of a long train Of cars. The noise
increased in volume to such a degree,
during the space of only few sec,
onds, as to become almost deafening.
The unusual sound seemed to come
from the heavens, and, gazing up
wards, the spectators saw what APP
peared to be huge ball Of smoke
rapidly descending to the earth.
What they took to be a strange Wis
itor from some neighboring world
was meteor. 1t struck the earth
within a few rods Of where the men
were standing, aud buried itself deep
in the ground. The news spread
rapidly throughout the township
and county, since which time Mr..
Diedrick's barley field has been Wis
tied by hundreds Of people, includ-
ing many scientific men. The hole
in the ground is three or four feet in
circumference. Its depth is I'M
known, all attempts to find the bot
tom by inserting long poles having,
it is said, proved futile.

I From the Morgan Co. Papers.

Mr.. Peter Helm, an old and respect
ed citizen of Cumberland, Md, died
last Wednesday morning, after long
and painful illness, in his 18th year.
He was engaged in the lumber bust
ness.
Some one administered a dose of
pizen" to VIM. Tritapoe's large
shepherd dog last Saturday and killed
him. Buffalo Bill'' is on his muscle
about it and swears vengeance on the
one who dealt out the dose. This is a
low and cowardly way of killing Off
your neighbours dogs and is becoming
entirely too frequent in our town.
Some one will yet be caught up for it.
" SNAIX.n-One day last week Mr..
Andrew Fisher killed a rattlesnake
near his cabin on Cacapon mountain
which measured four feet in length,
had rattles and button, and when
killed had in it five young rabbits.
Andrew says this is a true bill and
wants to know who can beat it. Next.
Miss Mollie Kane who occupies the

she has about three hundred silk

Kane success in her undertaking and
hope that her spirit of enterprise will
take root and grow in our midst.

HEIGHB0RlhG NEWS.

Mrs. B. V. Ardinger and family
have returned home after an extended
visit to Martinsburg.
A word to our readers about locals.
Some people often wonder why it is
that certain persons and families are
always noticed in the local columns,
and others are overlooked, and still
others are obtrnsive and don't wish
to have their names paraded in the
newspaper. Now if there is any fault
in this matter it is not always with the
newspaper man. A few persons are
thoughtful enough to furnish such
items. IF you are going away from
home or have guests or visitors or
know of any social event that the
public and you yourself have special
interest in, just write a neat, brief
notice of it and hand it to the editor,
and he will thank you. Whatever is
worthy of being full ofinterest to you
is likely to interest your neighbor, for
no man liveth unto himself. Some
times these trivial matters are Of
great use and interest. 1t is a wise
man whose slate always tells
where he may be found. The local
column is slate. Everybody looks
at the slate WiUidmsport Leader.

The appointment of teachers for the
various schools in the county is now
being made, and is a matter of par
ticular importance to the patrons and
the public. The Trustees of Schools
are expected by the people to use
their judgment free and unbiased, for
the best interest of parents and schol-
airs. Personal friendship, the infiu-
ence of outsiders through good will
or bad will, should have no weight in
the selection of teaehers,-the merits
ofthe person as teacher is the all
important point.

A LITERARY Coup D'EPAT.-Of
all the surprises to which the reading
public has been treated by Mr.. Alden's
surprising Literary Reuoddio1, perhaps
the most remarkable is the last. Two
of the choicest and most famous books
in modern literature, Washington
Irving's The Sketch Book" and
" Knickerbocker's History of New
York." are just published in style
worthy of this most widely celebrated
and universally honored of American
authors. The two books together
form one of the nine volumes of his
work also just published. The type is
large, loaded, beautiful two volumes
bound in one comprise COG pages the
binding is half morocco, marbled
edges. The only other edition in the
market that at all compares with this
or rivals it, is advertised by the pub
Usher at SO 90 per volume. Mr.. Alden's
price when sold in sets of nine vol
umes, is little less than 81 90 per
volume. He now offers this single
specimen volume until September l.,
1886, for the price (ifit can be called
a price, of so cents, by mail, postage
paid. This offer is without restriction
or condition; if there are a hundred
thousand, or half million of those
who take pleasure in the works of
Washington Irving, who want the
volume, he says he will flItheir orders
as fast as his printers and binders can
turn them out.
Ifyou want complete your set after
you have received this volume, you
can, of course do so by paying the adj.
ditional price for the set. The object
of this extraordinary +" Coup D'Etat:,i
is of course, advertising; except fol-
this consideration the price would be
ridiculous and ruinous. Mr.. Alder
sends his complete Condensed Gaia
logue of standard books free to any
applicant, or his Illustrated Catalogue
1872 pages, for four cents. Address

VICT RIOUS.-The MartinSburg
baseball nine went to Hancock, Nd,
on last Saturday to engage a picked
nine of that place in the national
game. The heart of the town throb-
bed with excitement and anxiety over
the boys as they went forth to shield
its honor, and a sigh of relief and
thankfulnesS went forth when on their
return the glad announcement was
made that they had come out victori-
Gus with score of 1916 and one inn
ing to play. Our own nine consisted
of Chas. Young and Stuart Cage, pitch
ers Chas. Pitzer, catcher; John Tim

Cage, alternated as right field. Mr..
Grant Pitzer is manager. VIII West
fall captain of the club and Charles
Young, field captain. Mr.. Lewis Ger
hardt performed the difficult duty of
umpire to the entire satisfaction of
both mines. The boys are loud in their
praises of the treatment shown them
by the Hancock nine, and arrange
ments were made for them to come
down and retrieve themselves on next
Tuesday afternoon at O'Clock. The
game will be played on the fair ground
and small admission fee of ten cents
will be charged to help defray the
expenses entertaining the visiting
players and friends. Ladies can wit
ness the game from the grand stand.
We hope there will be good crowd
to witness the proves of the respec-
tive nines.-
