all of the name of Robt. W. Burke, prob
ably on account of their wearing the
new sparrow tailed shad-bellied coats,
we give the following from the stanton
Spectator O.. "On last Wednesday after

Tuesday wa, ous ae most disagree
fact it was mast h q In the morning
the rSJDcame do aA,qtb a steady per-
sistancy that everybody feel and look
gloomy. In the afternoon it turned to
snow which partly melting as it fell
made the payemsnts and crossing as
sushy and sloppy as the most illgrainsd
mortal could wish. As it grew colder
the snow fell faster and by Wednesday
morning the earth was covered to a
depth of three or fsur inches and the
trees and bushes weighted down with a
clinging coat of frozen snev.
We notice from the papers that Miss
Jennie Moran. young girl who resides
on a farm near Scala, Mo-. is regular
dynamo and possesses wonderful electri-
cal powers. When she wills she can
light up dark room by her presence, and
to touch her when IN that condition is
certain death and even in her ordinary
state she gives a severe shock to anyone
taking hold Of her hand Recently while
fully charged she instantly killed a cat by
simply picking It up. We would like to
see some tough old bachelors We know
around Woodstock tackle that gal" 1t
would be thunder against black gum,
and we will just bet our only shirt that
our old fellows wosld come out best. We
don't care if every HAIR of her red head
should just spit lightning our old bach
elors could squeeze her to death without
receiving the least injury. They are
thoroughly seasoned to such things.
We learn from the Moorefeld Examiner
that a large number of wild turkeys have
been killed through that section. The

Roy Mcneil killed two 10 Id. gobbleTs
at one shot on Dec. 20. The same day
John ". Mcneil killed four wild turkeys
at one shot. The last named gentleman
killed about thirty turkeys the past
season.
Our good friend Rev. Gibbons, Of |
Romney, has we'll sustained his rsputa-
ton this winter as turkey hunter. He
spent a few days first part OF the holidays
with the Fisher boys, up the river, where
game is plentiful, and had grand sport.
