From the Bloomfield Advocate: ::
Mrs. Elizabe th Lightuer on Teturn-
ing home last Friday. and III passing
around Mr.. Dum's store while with
head down picking her steps through
the mud, I'm against a post with
such force that she was thrown on
her back. Her right eve was very
much injured. = On Satur-
day FL. Stambaugh, of this place, was
compelled TO shoot fine young steer
III order to keep 1t from starving.
The animal had in some WY been
hurt about the head, the injury ef-
fectinS its tongue, causingit to swell
To about three times its normal
size, and making it impossible for the
poor brute to eat. One
night last week thieves affected an
entrance into the spring house OF J.
n Stambaugh, IN Tyrone township
and stole therefrom two hams, two
shoulders and a crock full of butter.
\ large crock containg 50lbs of pack
ed butter was taken ont of the drain
bat being 10 heavy to BE- convenien-
tly and eXpeditiously removed was
left. Ii Is believed the thieves are
known. Other depreiations in the
same vicinity from time to time have
been reported.
One of the numerous incidents of
the river bridge crossing on a single
plank took place last Friday morn
ing in which Mr. Samuel Myers was
chief factor. Myers has a vein OF
humour in him that makes the cares
Of life sit lightly on him, and on the
aforesaid morning when he saw 8
/ Tuscarora Valley man cautiously
work his way over the single planl
on the bridge he made 1t a point to
/ be on the abutment when the valley
man stepped ashore and in a digni-
fed way asked him for toll. Toll,
/ echoed the surprised citizen of Tus
/ earora. s'Yes sir, said Myers
''How much asked the valley man
.sOnlv two cents, answered the
bridge official. Il won't pay it,
said tine man from the rural distric
and OF lie started Having gone
but few steps he met citizen o
the town and he stopped short anC
IN an angry tone said THAT man,
pointingto Myers, wanted to charg'
me two cents for walking then
plank" The town man caught thu
Joke in flash, and answered: "Wel
he's the superintendent of the com
pany and you'd better pay him. H'
Immediately acted on the advic'
walked back and handed Myers tw'
cents, who took the money seeming
" with as much indifference as If Ia
