While in Harrisburg last week,, we
read the dispatch from MIddleburgh
concerning the high water. The
Times thought it rather strange and
so did we. Upon investigating we
learned the message sent TO the
Press stated that the water was
five feet deep on Railroad Street.
In this the correspondent was cor.

the Flats. The Press omitted the
word street making the special
read that the water was five feet
deep on the railroad.
The people going from services in
Shriner's church on Sunday were
intensely alarmed and some slightly
injured. Jacob Heiser's horse be-
came frightened from some unknown
cause and ran away. The buggies
of Geo. Shaffer, Thomas Bailey, Il.
A. Heiser and Jacob Heiser were
pretty well broken up, some with
wheel torn off and others injured in
different parts. GRANDMOTHER Long
was seriously injured and number
of children are suffering from the
accident.

distasteful enough to the average
man and the bread of idleness is
sweet to him. 1t will not do, there
fore, to make it easy for men to live
without work"
The Town Council and the Board
of Health are in deadlock over the
question of adopting Health Or
dinance. The laws of the State Board
of Health require all cesspools to be
at least $50 feet from any wells.
The Board of Health of Middle
burgh recommended the distance to
be 100 feet. The Town Council re-
fused to approve that distance, and
named 70 feet. As yet neither body
yielded and we suppose they must
add the two numbers and divide by
two to settle the controversy.
Since putting the above in type
the controversy was settled by max
