An up-rlver freight on Saooatn
last about noon played sad havoc
among lot of COWS on the track op.
posite this place. The cows we're
grazing down at the bend and when
the train rounded the curve the engi-
neer sounded the cattle toot, and from
that on up to the depot there was a
dead race between the COWS and the
COW catcher. One COW was complete
ly riddled and presented a very sickly
sight as she lay painting along the side
of the track. She was killed as quick.
ly as possible. Two others had legs
broken and we're otherwise so badly
bruised that it was found necessary to
kill them. A fourth ore was badly
bruised, but will recover with good
care. Three of the COWS belonged to
Mr.. G. w. Gents Of Hunters Station,
including the last one, and one, a two.
year.old heifer, belonged to Mr.. j. H.
Dingman, was among those which had
to be killed. 1t was the worst slaugh-
ter Of live stock that has yet occurred
in this vicinity, and the matter will
likely end in lawsuit unless amica.
bly, settled.
The crop weather report of the
State weather service has been issued
for the week ending June 18th, and
contains the following information: {:
The rainfall for the last seven days has
been less than the average and in
some sections of the State more is
needed. The temperature has ranged
from the usual average to slightly
above, and the percentage Of sunshine
has been large. These conditions have
affected the growth of all crops very
favorably. Most crops are doing we'll,
and the prospect is encouraging to
farmers. Wheat is beginning to turn,
and promises to be more than an av.
erage. Corn has revived somewhat,
but is still backward and lacks q
healthy color. In the eastern part OF
the State, it is being attacked by cut
worms, which are reported numerous,
A small portion of the hay crop was
harvested during the past week. The
yield will probably be large one
, Vegetables and small fruits are doing
we'll.
The thriving city of Dubois
Clearfield county, was almost entirely
wiped out by fire on Monday. The
fire broke out in the Baker House
on Railroad avenue, in the centre o.
the town, and so rapid was its spread
that upward of 800 houses we're soor
: reduced to ashes. The loss is roughl,
estimated at 81, 100000, which is per
haps trifle large. An area mil,
. long by an average of almost half {
: mile wide, extending from the Roch
t ester collieries' store to the Terp'
! House and to the extreme end of Long
street, on the east side of town, is {
complete ruin. Three thousand people
are homeless and destitute, and il
/. need of immediate aid or they mus
, suffer. Various causes are given o
. the origin of the fire, the most plausi

Der man, has, it is rumored, deter
. mined to donate $500,0O0 TO thC
sufferers.
