John Kunkle was taken with a severe cold.
| Some one advised him to take an alcohol
sweat. The way that is given is to place
a saucer containing some alcohol under
chair, then let the patient undress, and
| drawing a blanket around him, sit down IN
the chair, spreading the blanket, so it will
| envelop his entire person as well as the
chair, and then have some one set the al
| cohol on fire. IN few minutes copious
perspiration will set in which will relieye the
| cold. John resolved to try it and Cy.
| Zimmerman offered to boss the job, assist
| ed by Jess KistleI At the last moment
they discovered they had 10 alcohol. Cy.
declared that carbon oil would do just as
well and, pouring about pint in tin
pan, placed it under John, who, divested
of his clothing, sat enveloped in heavy
blanket on the chair. Cy. touched match
| to the oil and the next instant John was
seen to rise with an alacrity never witness
ed in this neck of the woods. Had the
| ceiling been higher, he would have added
at least eight feet to his jump. His yell
broke several panes of glass in the win
| dows and tore off a considerable part of the
| roof. His language was warm, in fact
blistering, and the adjectives he used were
| all of the superlative degree few buck
| cts of water extinguished the fire, after
| which Cy and jess departed for their
homes, pondering deeply and trying to re-
member all the circumstances Of the case.
| The doctor thinks that in a couple of
| weeks it will not be necessary for John to
| eat off the mantel.

A lot of Westmorland county farmers
were swindled by couple of chaps who
canvassed the county selling fertilizers
The sellers we're not anxious for their
money, and kindly took notes which they
promptly sold, and left the country. The

utterly worthless. The only safe way is to
purchase from home dealers
The Johnstown Democrat says that there
was very unpleasant little ''serap" in the
ladies' waiting room at the Court house in
Ebensburg on Monday afternoon. Two
women who were contestants in pend
ng lawsuit got into an alteration over the
truthfulness of one another's statements
an d in the twiukle OF an eye the fur flew.
Both clinched each other in the hair and
the battle ragged strong until they were
separated by the court officers, who were
attracted by their yells. 0ne of them was
placed under arrest and taken TO Jail. She
will be given hearing to answer to the
charge Of assault and battery. There is
no mistaking; when you get the "old gall
stirred up things are lively
