Sixty.Seven and Happy.

On the 25th of June, about 10 o'clock,
people from far and near began to turn
in at the residence of Dudley Creed, of
Washington township, where Mr.. Ceed
was born just sixty-seven years ago and
the only spot on earth that he has ever
claimed as home.
James Beets decoyed Mr.. Creed away
to the lower farm to help to take the
binder from the barn, preparatory to
cutting the rich golden harvest of these
happy grangers. When he returned,
just before noon, the house and veranda
were filled with people, and there were
some out in the yard. Mr.. Creed
scratched his head and pulled at his
waist like bewildered boy as he stood
on the road in front of the house. But,
he couldn't divine what brought the
multitude, until long after he had rested
on the veranda it dawned upon him
that it was his own birthday. The sur.
prise was complete. Just at this point
opened meeting which was surely one
of the most pleasant society events that
has occurred here for years. All the
six living children were present, and
the only grandchild, little George Creed
Webster, completed the family.
There were present from distrnce,
George N. Webster and wife, of Aliens
burg Frederick Shoemaker and wife !;
Alvin Smith and wife and mother; Miss
Bessie Baine and Mamie and Allie
Creed, of Marshall; Mrs. Will Arnet
and daughter, of New Market; John
Nance and mother, of Harrisburg.
The social features and "reminiscences
were very rich, and the dinner was
large and fine, over which the cultured
daughters presided in manner that
made us all feel at home. The hours
fed as moments until we left at late
hour, after grand day. ]. M. W.

the College Alumni. We gladly accede

More than half century back, the
then youthful Jos. Mcdowell Matthews,

accessible to the women of the later
nineteenth century. The College career
has been changeful one, but through
all, an excellent purpose, like golden

which was pride and ornament to
Hillsboro; this structure into which was
builded the hopes, ambitions, and liber.

nothing now is left of our Alma Mater,
but a majestic memory, to the living
representatives of that culture and its

KEPT UP WITH THE HOUNDS.

A Rennsyfvania Steer with Turn for
Speed and Fence jumping.
F. White, who lives on the highlands
of Elkhnd township, Lackawanna
county, owns four fox hounds and
Devonshire steer named Pete, says the
Pittsburgh Chronicle-1elegraph. The
steer became attached TO the hounds
when he was calf, and in the follow
ing fall he got in the notion of rum
ming and believing after them when
ever Mr.. White started the pack on q
fox chase. Pete would race behind the
hounds till a fence stopped him, and
there he would stand and low till the
pack went out out of sight over the
hills, when he trotted back to the barn
yard and acted as II he was lonesome
till the hounds returned. The other
day Mr.. White put three hounds on
fox's track in a swale on his place. He
stole out of the back way with the
dogs, and Pete, who was in the barn
yard when the hounds gave tongue,
leaped over the fence in jiffy, few
down the road, sprang over stone
wall and dashed after the baying
brutes before they had run the fox five
minutes. The dogs drove the fox into
a swamp, where the steer couldn't go,
and Pete galloped around the edge till
Reynard led the hounds to the upland,
when he made the snow fly with his
hoofs and quickly joined the dogs.
Within an hour the hounds made the
pace so hot for the fox that he began
to play tricks on them to throw
them off the scent. he ran on to
bridge and then leaped off the
end; but he didn't fool the dogs there,
and they continued to gain on him.
Then he took a squirt on a wall, and
down ut Charles Oram's farm he scooted
through the front yard, ran over pile
of cordwood and started across
meadow, with Grams farm dog in hot
pursuit The hounds and the steer
were not far behind when the fox and
dog had got to the meadow fence, and
in the adjoining field the former gained
on them fast. Grams dog was yelping
furiously and logging it at the top Of
his speed when the steer gave below
and ran past the hounds. He had
caught sight of Oram's dog, and he
seemed to know that the yelping cur
had no business in the chase, for he
plunged at 1t with lowered head, ran
1t of the track, and drove 1t to the
fence, where he caught It on his horns
just as it was trying to escape between
the rails. The steer gored the dog to
death in hurry, when he flung tho
carcass from his horns and ran like
wildfire toward the hounds In the next
field. By that time the fox was jaded,
and almost as soon as the steer had
caught up to the hounds the latter
overhauled tired Reynard and shook
him to death. Then the steer began
to below, and when Mr.. White reached
the spot the hounds had torn the fox's
hide into strips, while the steer looked
On contentedly.

ELECTRICITY IN CHINA.

very Popular with
the People.

The streets are very narrow in Cam
ton, as Is the case with all Chinese
cities, says writer in ''Thc Electrical
World" being from say six to twelve
feet wide. and filled with hanging
wooden signs. Through these signs tho
electric wire must twist and turn, be-
cause on no account would q China
man allow q sign to be moved to
certainly mean bad luck to his busi-
ness. In many cases the insulation
has been strongly reinforced with
rubber and tape, TO prevent abrasion
from the swinging signs.
The streets of Canton are divided
into sections Of few blocks each, and
each section is shut off from all others
by heavy gates, that are closed at nine
o'clock in the evening. The populace
Is so turbulent that for many centuries
the authorities have made it q practice
to hold all the people of any section
responsible for any riot or tumult in
that section. The result is that the
people have got in the habit Of regu-
lating affairs in their section without
any reference to the powers that be-
The electrician of the Canton plant
had an occasion to see the effect of this
in an instance where q store wanted
lights, but the wires could not be run
because one man objected to having
a hole cut in his house for securing q
pole. The man wanting lights in
formed his neighbors, and delegation
waited on the individual and soon
induced him to withdraw his objec-
ton.
At first there was considerable OBJ
lection to the plant being put up. but
now it has become very popular, and is
used in houses and stores; even fruit
and nut stands use them in the streets,
the wires being led from the nearest
house. The light is now so popular
that thousands Of lamps could be put
in all over the city If the station was
large enough to supply them, but its
limit is now reached and difficulty is
experienced in building larger one,
as the franchise for the entire Canton
province is in the hands of one man,
and he wants to make too much out
of it.
The Chinese are great people to ex-
pect private commiasionson everything
they have hand in, and the manage
ment of the company, one and all,
manage to steal something. One man,
who has the handling of the money,
will hold back needsd supplies and
wages another, less fortunate. will 60
to the station and steal coal and oil,
and If there is any objection the en-
gineer is told that It Is none of his af-
fair. In fact. though the plant is q
success from an electrical and mechap-
ical point of view, 1t is kept running
under considerable difficulty. In Cam
ton two attempts were made to steal
the street wires soon after the station
was started, but, unfortunately fer the
thieves, the wires were alive, and
though no one was killed no attempts
have since been made.

SAMANTHA, June 70.
ED. NKws-HRRALD For the infor.

V. G. who were not present at the 6rst
reunion, held at Columbus, O., on the
Goth and 2lst, 1 respectfully submit
short sketch OF the meeting and pro-

Eberlee, McMullen, Lafferty, Jas. Pat
ton and myself. Ex.oficers present: !:

tains Apt and Love, Lieutenants Sells
and Moloney.

nization.
A committee on permanent organiza.
ton was appointed, to report the follow.
ing day two o'clock, p. m.
At the second days meeting, Lieut..
Sells, of Columbus, was elected Presi.
dent for the coming year.
With one voice Capt. Loves daughter,
charming little lass of about twelve
years, was made daughter OF tne regi.
ment.
A brief history of the regiment is to
be compiled by comrade Frank Weller,
who was elected regimental historian.
The second annual reunion is to be
held at Columbus, September the 18th
and l4th, 1895.
Accepting an invitation made through
committee, Gov. Mckinley visited the
regiment and delivered short. address,
among other things saying that the llth
o. V. G. had the distinction of being the
last Ohio regiment mustered out of the
service.
After separation of nearly thirty
years, this was indeed happy event,
with a brotherly feeling, which only
old comrades understand, and, if all
members of the llth could realize what
a glorious time we had they would en-
deavor to attend the next reunion.
Respectfully,
A. E. JOHNSON.

In MemOriam.

William Dwight Musgrove was born
January 20, 1892, and died June 10, 1894,
aged years, 4 months and 80 days. His
short life scarcely knew what sickness
was until stricken with that dread dis.
ease, spinal meningitis, and after ten
days of intense suffering, God relieved
the little one by calling his spirit home.
Dearest Willie, thou hast left us,
And thy loss We deeply feel,
But 'tis God that hast bereft MS,
He can all our sorrows heal.
While we weep and sadly miss thee,
We would not call thee back again,
From happy, peaceful resting
In heaven where there IL no pain.
Thy little life was full of pleasure.
Calm and peaceful were thy ways.
Never causing care nor trouble
As do many all their days.
The parting hour was sad and drear
To US who loved our babe 30 dear.
But, happy thought, we can meet our boy,
And dwell with him in eternal JOY.

How to Be Friendly With wasps.

A correspondent of the Leeds (Eng- lanO Mercury bears testimony to the inoffensive behavior of wasps if not molested. He writes: My favorite gar den seat in summer is near an extensive bed of flowers and. evergreens. The wasps come to this bed while am read ing, roam over my book or newspaper. My hands and face are at their own pleasure. If have been eating or drink ing anything sweet, they make free with my lips and suck them. They come and go peaceably, and I encourage their companionship by keeping perfectly still. I was never stung by wasp but once in my life, and then I deserved the punishment, which I provoked. A heightened experience oonvinces me that if you remain passive and do not wan tonly molest them you may live on the most friendly and sociable terms even with xyaSris ''
