How "greaL" men will differ But an

the people of that State required to labor In
raiiinps in which they could not make more
Than so cents per day and be required 10

Mr.. Hoar's we'll known malignant hate
for the South and the people thereof war
rant the belief that il he did not u2e the
Identical words above quoted, the feeling
expressed therein is not very much e1ag-
gsrated. To crafty his rancorous animosi'

S,u.h, for they do not hold themselves as

the laborers of bis own State to fifty cents

But as Mr.. Hoar is sent to the Senate by the
votes of the laborers of Massachusetts, ard

has the right to do 80. Certainly the people
of the South don't. They would irfi litely

HENRY BEAVER SHOT

Yesterday afternoon Henry Bea-
yer, of Franklin, returned home from
the Seven Mountains with two buck
shot holes through his right arm.
He had accompanied the Middle
burgh party of hunters TO the noun
tains on Monday. Tuesday evening
while he was making drive at Black
Gap he came to John Francis sta
tion. John told him he had shot at
two deer which had run around the
knob, and that he would run ahead
and MIR. Beaver should follow the
course of the deer. When within
forty yards of Mr.. Francis he stopped
and looked at him, but didn't speak.
He made another step, facing Mr..
Francis, when he heard the report
of gun and at the same time felt
numbness in his right arm. He
called out, "My God, John, what
are you shooting at me for 7" but it
was too late. One buck-shot had
passed clean through his right wrist,
another lodged in his arm near the
elbow and two others cut his coat
under the right arm.
He was taken to the tram-road in
Wolf Swamp, and from there was
removed on the "dinkey" to Par.
dee, where he took the morning
east-bound train to Mifflinburg. DR.
Dimm cut out the buck-shot which
still remand in the arm. 1t had
struck the bone and Clipped of
two pieces but didn't break it. He
came over on the stage at one clock
The wounds are painful but not
dangerous.
Mr.. Francis evidently mistool
Mr.. Beaver for n deer, though We
cannot understand why he mad,
such terrible mistake. as he is one
l'of Tie most carerui hunters anu bhesi
shots in this part of the State
When he returns he can probably
| tell US more about it.

Lutheran services in Middleburgh
next Sunday forenoon and evening.
Rev. S. p. Orwig, of Montgomery
Station, paid his many friends in
Middleburgh a pop visit Thursday
of last week. The Reverend had
come to close out the sale Of his
house on West Main Street to Cur
tin Bowersox for Sl,150.
l receive goods every day, hence
it is not shelf f-worn, but is fresh and
new. My prices also correspond
with the hard times and l can sell
you II suit of clothing twenty per
cent. lower than any other house in
the County. IL. GUNTzBERGER,
The dwelling of William Kreamer,
Middlecreek township took fire one
day last week, while the family was
away, and was entirely destroyed
with all the contents. The house
was poor one, yet it afforded shel-
ter 20 the family and their loss is
heavier than would be the destruc-
ton of palace to the millionaire -
courier.
The coolest Joke on record was
perpetrated last week upon Rob
Mcclellan, who resides about II
miles northwest of Adamsburg.
Mr.. Mcclellan was absent from
home, and during the night some
parties deliberately walked n fat
steer out of his stable, killed and
dressed it behind the barn, and de-
parted with the meat-leaving only
the hide to tell the fate of the an
imal. If there is anything cooler
than a west-end thief it must be
snow in bed.
On Tuesday upon our return after
momentary absence from our of
fee we found a card lying upon our
table bearing the following inscrip-
ton: ,
| CHARLES :. WOLFE.
Came In 20 have you congratulate me.
Well, Charley, here's our hand
You fought for man and won, We
fought for n man and lost. The
world measures man by his sue
cess, and hence you have reasons
for congratulations. In 1882 yor
elected Pattison, and in 1890 you die
him great service. You have cross
ed the Republican Rubicon and ar,
now happy in the camp of "oul
friends, the enemy" If patriotism
prompted the step you are no doub
gratifed, if taken for revenge yo,
must be delighted. In either case
you must be happy-and we hop
you are supremely so.
