ELK RUN.

This stream, which has its origin near
North mountain and passes through this
place to the river, was very high all day
Friday, though it did not quite reach the
high water mark. The damage done
along its course is considerable. Many
fields, lots and gardens were ruined. A
great deal of fencing was carried OIL.

other shot. You have to consider
whether Magoney was in the attitude OF
going to assault Robertson.
think the argument that Robertson
was defending his habitation, is not
applicable here. There was no attempt
to break into the house. 1t is to be con-
sidered whether there is any proof that
Magoney was making, or about to make
an assault on Robertson. Upon the
point of the two shots you have the evil
dence of these two men who were there /;
they say there was but one shot.
On the other hand there is the evil
dence of the two physicians who had
charge of Magoney in the hospital, that
there were shot more or less from his
head to his feet-scattering shots-and
it is submitted to you whether it were
possible for the charge which was con-
centrated in his arm, were possible at
the same time to scatter from his head
to his feet.
There is evidence in the examination
OF the gun and its appearance which
were testified to positively, and you will
consider the circumstances that Robert
son called on them to examine it at the
time.
I do not think that you could assume
that Robertson was under fear of knife
upon the supposition that he had gone to
the place where there were knives.
am inclined to leave the case, gentle
men, without further instruction or
charge. You must acquit or find guilty,
and there are no degrees. There must
be justification by self defence or he is
guilty. It is not a matter that you can
reduce by extenuation."
The jury retired at p. m. to consider
their verdict.

aIIncle Sam, and go. K.n

There are many persons who
habitually make use of the terms
"Uncle Sam" and 20. K" who have
not the slightest idea how these
terms originated; and for the benefit
of all such persons, we will give the
origin.
Upon one occasion, a long time
ago, a greenhorn asked a friend what
U. S. stood for; and the friend, in a
chatting way, answered him that the
letters stood for Uncle Sam. This
facetious answer, having received
publication at the time, became a
standing joke, and gradually merged
into nickname for the United
States.
Regarding the letters 80. K"
which are now gradually sinking
into disuse, they like the above, arose
in the uneducated period of the past.
An ignorant Customs officer had a
quantity of packages to examine,
and on those that he passed as all
right he wrote in chalk ''Oll Korek."
Finally to abbreviate his mark, he,
towards the end of his work, made
the initials 30. T." answer mis- pur-
pose. This anecdone, receiving large
publication at the time, gave rise to
the generally accepted 30. K"
Nearly all terms of a similar kind
had similar origin.

Greasy Ink.

A correspondent on Hawaii writes !:
'Do you know of any remedy for ink
that acts greasy? This that am using
is Egyptian" and was good ink, but
lately has tormented me by acting
greasy, both on the pen and on most all
the paper use. 1 tried putting gum
into it, and finally cleaned out my ink
stand and filled anew from the bottle,
but with no success. And it is very
worrying to have ink that won't take
hold of the paper.''
THE best and only efectual remedy we
know of is to throw it away and buy only
ink of established reputation, such as
Arnolds, Carter's, and inks of other we'll
known makers. New steel pens are al
ways more or less greasy, and should be
wet before using.-ED. P. G. Al

Small PRAIRIE FIRES.

There came near being serious fire
a few miles west of this city on Sunday
morning The fire started in The south
east corner of Whites woods and rapid
ly spread until 1t covered space of
ten acres. The trees being full of sap
did not catch but all the loose brush and
logs were burned. The wind was blow
ing hard when it was discovered, but
about dozen men set to work with
rakes. hoes and spades succeeded in
fighting it back and keeping the fence
from catching. No one knows how the
fire started 1t is thought that some
one careiessly dropped n match or cigar.
Other accounts of fires down on Grant
and in North Lancaster are reported,
many OF the people having to fight hard
to save their houses from the flames.
Great care should be taken by those
who are burning brush and other mat
ter that it does not spread during this
dry weather.
