An accident happened near W. K. Clark's last
week that came very near being a drowning
case. A stranger, said to be from the Williams
port country, with q team Of horses, attempted
to cross Beaver Creek as the ice was breaking
up. Mr.. Clark saw him and ran to warn him of
his danger. but before he could reach him he
had started down the bank. The force of going
down the steep bank drove his horses nearly to
the opposite side; but the wagon parted, and
the man and the back part of the wagon went
into the water and part Of the wagon under the
Ice. II 1t had not been for the timely aid Of Mr.
Clark the accident would certainly have termi-

TABLE BOARD.

The careful reader Will have per
ceived that a gent is charged fifty
cents more per week than a lady

ton seems to have obtained general
ly for some years, 1 conclude that it
is the result of long experience and
may doubtless be relied upon as
founded in truth 1t ought to have

quiry, also, would be whether the ca

does, and meat is nOtOriOusly expen-

A number OEyOung cattle belong
ing to Frederick Gress of Tod town
ship Pa, came home from pasture
one evening. Gress noticed a
fOreleg of one of the cattle was
badly swollen. The next morning
the animals leg was three times its
natural size from hip to shoulder,
and the body was also swollen. The
animal, a valuable young heifer, lay
on the ground moaning in pain, its
eyes being red with blood, and froth
dropping from it's mouth. 1t died in
short time. The next evening
another one of the herd exhibited the
same symptoms, and died in the
same way. A third heller died with
the mysterious ailment a day later
There are many rattlesnakes in the
locality, and the general opinion
was that the cattle had been bitten
by these venOmOus reptiles and died
from the effects of the poison.
aIthOughnO previous cases of the
kind were known thereabOut.
A snake about three feet long
Of a dark brown color, and with q
spur ike prOtuberance on it's tail.
was killed where the cattle had been
pasturing. A couple of rattIesnakes
were also killed in the same place.
The horned snake is an entirely new
species in this region, and the farm
ers Of Tod township believe that
it was responsible for the death of
Gress's cattle. A snake with q horn
on it's tail was killed a few DAYS ago
near this place, on John S. Wilson's
farm, by neighbOr, who was helping
him haul stone off the field.
