draulic cider press mt Paxtonville
and is doing an immense business.
II is the only press of the kind in
this section of the county, and is
rapidly driving the old style presses
out of existence. The same kind of
press was built by the Walters at
Middleburgh last summer, but the
June food took it along.
Boonastiel has written his fiftieth
letter for the PosT, and it is encour-
aging to him to see the favor his
productions have met with our rea-
ders. His mission is double one.
First, to stab Error, and, second, to
give Right friendly push. He will
continue writing for the PosT as
long as he is appreciated, clothe his
thoughts in the homely language of
our fathers and shoot Folly as it
flies

The Pennsylvania Railroad Com

ring the week commencing Monday,

"You may take the world as Il comes and goes
And you win be sure 10 fnd
That fate viii square the account she owes,
Whoever comes out behind,
! And all things bad that II man has done
by whatsoever induced,
, Return at last To him one 10y one.
As the chickens come home % roost.'
We had our doubts as to the truth
of the article published in last week $
PosT from II Union county paper de-
sclibing the strange manifestations
ut the funeral of Mrs. VIM. Searls
of Lewisburg, but while in Union
E county on Sunday we learned from
: II nephew of undertaken Ginter that
the raps against the floor were so
( violent that the Earring nearly threw
the corpse off the trustlc-board.
= Matt Kramer of Putnam county,
, Pa, is over six feet tall, weighs 2S5
pounds. is not fat man, but so
: strong that there are men i'll the
county who want to bet $1,000 that
he is the strongest man III the world.
The other day he raised large stone
, pedestal, weighing 1900 pounds, and
held it above his head for several
a., seconds, apparently without much
effort.
q On Tuesday morning the house of
Perry Beaver i'll Jackson township
was burned down. One of the chill
dren poured coal-oil in the stove to
, kindle the fire and then left for the
I field The coal-oil exploded the
4 stove and the fire spread so rapidly
, that scarcely anything was saved.
The loss is estimated at about 81 200,
. and was insured in the Beavertown
) Mutual by Michael w. Beaver, now
{ decd, but the policy had not yet
been transferred to the son, the
3 present owner.
This seems the age for swindlers,
e and if you don't want to get youl
eye-teeth cut, your best plan is to
look out for the man who doesn't
l like to earn his bread by the sweat
3 of his brow, but who is going
3 around seeking victim whom he
can swindle out of few dollars
The latest fraud is found where you
= would least expect it-in the Silent
u City of the Dead. A man is travel
ing about the country soliciting
orders for cleaning up grave stones
in the cemetery, that have become
discolored with dirt or mildew. He
s does the work easily with diluted
Q acid, but the polished surface o.
: marble headstones is ruined by tn,
Q acid. Look out for him. Grant,
! monuments might not be injured
but the use of nitric or sulphurit
+ acid on marble ought not to be toler
ated for moment.
