badly damaged by the hot winds that no
amount of rain can now do it much
good.

The tanning business is suffering from
the present financial depression, as we'll
as most all other manufacturing indus

half their capacity. Democrat.
A Renova COW had not been giving any
milk for three months, when one day it
came upon a broken keg of beer that
had fallen from wagon. The COW drank
of the beer, and since then has been
giving 20 quarts day-of milk, of
course.
At last a successful case of electrocu-
ton occurred in York State. 1t is repor-
ted from Salamanca, where a COW had her
head through a barbed wire fence.
Lightning struck the fence some distance
away, ran along the wire and electrocu-
ted her. She never kicked.
Tuesday morning of last week, nearly
the entire stock of breeding fish in the
State hatchery at Cory were found float
ing dead on the water. over 100 of the
oldest and most valued lake trout were
picked up. There is little doubt that the
fish were designedly poisoned.
A new worm more destructive than

ed the worms and finds they are the
larvae of the "blister fiy.' The state
board of agriculture has been notified.
Mr.. John S. Barr has in his possession
an autograph letter from President Abra-

ago, and was received by Mr.. Barr while
a resident of Summervile. 1t is a val
liable keepsake and is highly appreciated
by the owner.-Brookvill Republican
Among the failures reported to-day is
one which will not occasion much regret
The big deal in pork which has held the
price of that commodity at an inordidate
ly high figure for months has collapsed
accompanied by the announcement o.
the failure of the three leading houses
concerned in it. Hereafter it may bC
possible for a man of ordinary means tC
occasionly banquet on a ham sandwich

Western Crawford and Erie Counties
Thomas Mcclure, of Albion, last week
lost two valuable stations by the disease
At Shadeland a large number have beer
afflicted during the past week. The di
sease originates in the head and throat
and as yet, seems to battle the skill of the
best veterinaries. 1t is more prominen
among the stations"
The present reaper and binder, whicl
is now doing such excellent work in. ey
cry wheat field, one would think, coulC
hardly be improved upon, and, as al
, know, drops the sheaves the moment /
has bound them, leaving the gathering
of them afterwards to human hands, bu
now many of them have cunning attach
ments which carry the bound sheave'
along until six of them--half the mum
Der of an ordinary shock-are bound
when they are all dumped on one spot
+ thereby expediting the work of ga
thering and shocking very materially

The mail carrying between Titusville
Pleasantville, Tidioute and Enterprise il
temporarily in the hands of w. b. Dut

man, had sub-let the contract to a Mr.
, Milliner, or Mrs. Milliner, or both of III
! tusyille. Mrs. Milliner carried the mai

, when they forfeited their bond and CAV
, up the route. Mr.. and Mrs. Milliner n
! doubt confidently expected when the.
! took this contract that they were securing
one of Uncle Sans pie bakeries; bu
! that running mail route a distance G
40 miles each week day for a little les
than 81 a trip, can't be done, is only on
of the many things that person has +
find out, who is foolish enough to attemp
it.-Pleasantville Record.
