NEWSY NOTES.

some standing as prophet predicts the
severest winter we have had in twenty
years.
Many localities in the state are still |
suffering for want Of water. If it should |
freeze up before more rain falls, and con-
siderable more, the inconvenience oc-
casioned would be very serious.
Crandall q Hatch, of Brocton, made |
during the season of 1895, 79s,7O0 grape |
baskets and purchased to fill orders, 49,,
800 baskets making a total of 9l2,500. |
They paid in wages from February l to
November l, '95, S6,233.
Physicians of Wyoming county are
greatly puzzled over the peculiar case of
Miss Pearl Barton, aged twenty years, of
Wilkesbsrre, who has been asleep CON
tinuously since November 28 and who
shows no sign of awakening.
Mrs. George Robinson, Of Linesville,
Crawford county, dropped a pin in one
OF her ears as she was in the act of re-
lieving tickling. All efforts to find the
pin have failed and the strange part of it
is that there is no pain or sensation of its
being in the ear.
The Altoona Times tells that a young
lady went into a Mifflintown store, Sc
lected piece of cloth and asked what 1t
was worth. "Four kisses per yard" said
the gallant clerk. Like Harry Hayward,
she stood pat and replied that she would
take four yards. The cloth was cut of,
nicely wrapped up and handed to the
fair purchaser, who received it with
smile and said "Send the bill around to
my grand d-mother; she will settle it."
Harry Hayward, the murderer of Cath
crime Cling, was hanged in Minneapolis
on the l1th inst, at 2;05 in the morning
The murderer went to the gallows with a
laugh OH his lips, and went down with
the trap just as he uttered the words
lightly: "Let her go, Megardsn." The
command was directed to the chief dep
uty. Prior to the execution the con-
demned man maintained the nerve and
bravado which has made him infamous.
For over a year, says the Remove News,
the mighty nimrods of Beech Greek
township have been apxiously awaiting
the opportunity of capturing what was
called the "bull of the woods" which
animal had been often seen, but which
had safely escaped the many shots that
had been sent after him. 1t remained
for Robert Gunsailus to bring the animal
down, which he did several days ago.
The buck weighed 225 pounds. This is
not such a monster as it might be. A
few years ago deer of that size were quite
common in these parts.
The latest case of suspended animation
is reported from Wilkesbarre, Pa,
where, as the undertakers were about to
embalm the body of woman, she awak-
ened and shrieKed, to the natural dismay
of the embalmers. Only the fact that
burial had been delayed to await the ar
rival of brother, thus rendering em-
balming advisable, prevented a prema-
ture interment. Reports of similar
cases are extremely rare, considering the
vast daily number of burials, but even
one is enough to cause disquietude and
the wish that an infallible test of death
be made obligatory on the attending ply
sycian.
Here is composition about Boys"
written by a little girl and published in
one of our exchanges: "The boy is not
an animal. yet they can be heard con-
siderable distance. When boy boilers,
he opens his big mouth like frogs, but
girls hold their tongue till they are
spoke to, and then they answer respec
table and tell just how it WIS. A boy
thinks himself clever because he car
wade where it Is deep, but God made the
, dry land for every living thing anC
rosted on the seventh day. When thu
boy grows up, he is called a husband
and then he stops wading and stays ou
nights, but grew up girl is widow anc
keeps house."
Under a decision of the Suprem,
