The Guilford Citizen relates the fol-
lowing story told by stable man recent
" at a Charleston hotel: "While / was
up above Brownville last fall, two men
from Boston, who were going into the
woods hunting, wanted their luggage
toted in. l started with this, they going
on ahead ready for game. They were
pretty full of drink they had brought
with them, and pretty empty of discre-
ton. One walked faster and had got ON
some way ahead of the other i'll the wood
road when the hind one stepped on some
dry stuff that made quite swapping
The man ahead heard it and taking it for
deer or moose, raised his rifle. There
was flash and Shrek for he had put a
bullet through his companion S cap close
to his scalp. 1t gave them tremendous
scare and they kept sober for the rest of

The Journal has been shown by Hon.
Williston Jennings, superintendent of the
works of the North Wayne Tool Com
pany, a new bread knife that has just
been placed upon the market by this con-
Germ, and which is the finest thing of the
kind we have ever seen. We see no rea-
son why it should not become, upon its
merits, general article of household use.
This knife was invented by Mr. G. g..
Brooks, and represents about two years of
experiment 1t works admirably, and we
do not see how it can ever be improved
upon. The company has in this practical
little invention an article that can scarce
ly fail to enjoy a large sale and which
will add to the excellent reputation it has
long enjoyed for turning out high grade
of work.

Lindeman uprights are strictly artistic

The Lindoman, therefore. appeals to
