Peter Gross, who lives neal York
Springs, Md, had been working hard
all the morning and about 10 o'clock
concluded to take a nap under a cherry
tree. He had just fallen into a doze
when he heard a buzzing sound. He
awoke to find a hive of his w bees
swarming on his head. Rushing into
the field he thought that by covering his
head with earth he could get rid of
them. But that did not have the desired
effect.
Being on the crest of one of the high
hills which surround his house, he then
threw himself on the ground, gave his
body a shove and down he went, rolling
over stones, sticks and bushes, until at
last he reached the kitchen door. BY
that time the bees had left him, and, al
though he was very much cut and
bruised, none of the wounds were seri,

George Althisar, a veteran of the war
and now filling the place of letter car
rier at the ~postofice in Port Jervis, at
tended the Grand Army reunion at De
troit, and took occasion while there to
restore to a comrade a long lost Bible with
an interesting history. The Bible was
originally a gift to David Webster, a
Michigan volunteer, from his mother on
the V of his departure for Virginia in
1861. Webster lost the book at the sec
ond battle of Bull Run.
1t fell into the hands of a Confederate
soldier of Stonewall Jackson's command
named Hayes. Following the moth
er's inscription to her son on the fly
leaf the soldier wrote a brief statement
Of the circumstance under which it
came into his possession. He abandoned
his knapsack containing the book on the
battlefield at Bristow's station.
Althisar picked the volume up and
had carefully preserved it for twenty
six years as IN interesting relic of a des-
perately fought battle. He was for
tunate in finding Comrade Webster at
the Detroit reunion and in restoring to
him n relic doubly precious because the
mother who gave it had died.-Cor.

pleted, met. The heaviest grade is only
two per cent and is at Silver creek, and
the heaviest curve at Coalville, only eight

weeks ago, and about ffty-eight miles
have already been completed. The road
will be 1877 miles in length, and will tap a

Remarkable Growth of Tobacco

j.. W. Cook came in Saturday and told
about some tobacco ho is raising. Last
year he raised a crop of the weed, and
after he cut it in the fall suckers grew
out from the stumps. These suckers re-
tanned their vitality all winter and in the
spring began growing with increased
vigor. Mr.. Cook pruned them down to
one to the hill and cultivated the crop.
He says it is just as good as the crop he
planted last spring, the leaves being
broad and heavy, instead of narrow and
peaked as the leaves of suckers usually
are. -Elsberry (Mo.) Advance.
