The attendance Of men, women,
and children at the celebration ofIu.
dian Mound Harvest Home, last Sat
uroay, WAS largely beyond expecta,
tlon. The day was uncommonly fine
and the rain of Friday had SO damp
ened work on most of tho farms that
people could attend without neglect
ing their affairs, hence the turn out.
1t was meeting of social enjoyment
and good cheer. It was q meeting
OF typical Pennsylvania highland val
Icy people, and better looking as
sembly of two thousand people from
prattling children to aged grand Do
rents cannot be assembled anywhere
else. The ceremonial part Of the &C.
casion was well managed. Veterans
who had passed through the late civil
war were there in considerable num-
Der, and about ifty OF them were
gotten into line by Colonel Robson
and Lieutenant Burchfeld and march
ed in front of the platform wherc
they were addressed by comrade L.
Il. Atkinson after which they broke
ranks and mingled among tho people

Bloomfield Democrat George 3.
Ritter had a frightful experience on
last Monday, while hauling in oats. |
Hs had just come out Of the field on
to the road with = Load and was at |
the top Of pretty steep hill his
son drew the lock just as the wheels
struck breaker that WIS across tho !
road. The two together so sudden
y checked the speed of the wagon !
that the horses jsrsed the tongue
clean out, the rubber bar breaking
and one OF the stay-chsins unlock
ing, all IN a moments time. The |
wsgsn then started down tho hill, |
with 10 means of guiding it or chsck-
ingits spsed-all cennectien between
horses and wagon being one STAY
chain. The horses became entanglea |
in the chaips, the off-wheel one gs.-
ting into the spreadars Of the from.
onss, asd was thrown and dragged
down the hill over a fiinty road. Ar.
Ritter saw that something nust be
speedily done to check the speed of
the wagon or the fallen horse would
be run over and in al probability
killed, SO he managed by that enc
stsy-chain to turn the wagon to the
side Of tine road into the drain, which
vas deep, upsetting the wagon.
The horses then mads short WORK OF
the ctbSr stsy-chain. They had be-
come so excited that they ran some
distance sfter they we're frse before
sir. Ritter got csntrol of them, still
Dragging the fallen horse, which was
skinned and bruised,
out withsl, not dangerously injured.
It was an experience that no person
would wish to pass through the sec
nd time. Potatoes are rot
ing in the ground in this county.
