Prof. F. v. Coville, of the agricultu.

Near GAINESVILLE, Co., a newly.
married couple on the train the other
day attracted good deal of attention
at q station by their peculiar behavior.
A lady got on the train at Q station
and took seat In front of them.
Scarcely was she seated before they
commenced making remarks about her
wearing last seasons hat and Dress
She was severely criticised by them for
some moments. Presently the lady
turned around. She noticed ut q
glance that the bride was older than
the groom, and without the least re.
sentiment in her countenance she said:

son closed his mouth instead and the

Is This True /?

We CLEAN the following from the
Harrisburg 7tlegrdph written by n
correspondent to that paper while
on bicycle trip up along the Sus-
quehanpa River:
You could look over ilto Snyder
county all the way up from George
town TO Sunbury. / never pass Sny-
der county but what | think of the
hanging that once took place in that
county. 1t was Il legal hanging, not
Il case of lynch. and resulted from
the murder Of an old couple who
were killed for their money. The
fellows who did the killing were
hunted down by Bully Lyons, of
Reading, famous rs "A terror Ia evil
doers, and several of the rascals
were convicted and hanged. 1t seems
that on the trial there were some
dispute as TO whether another man,
not then arrested, had not connived
Mt the murder. or had something to
do with it. Whether he had or not
was not clear. At any rate he was
not arrested. He felt how ever, that
his good name had been tarnished,
stain. On the day Of the execution
there was an enormous crowd in the
county Jail, and everybody wanted
to see the hanging. The sheriff, a
good natured man, let as many in
to the prison yard as he could crowd
in, and among them was the man
who wanted his character cleared.
He stood on the extreme outside
edge of the crowd and when the
condemned men were led out and
placed on the gallows he was very
much excited. As is the custom, the
men were asked if they desired to
make few last remarks, and one OF
them began talking in Pennsylvania
Dutch He had proceeded but q
few sentences in his narrative when
the man on the outside edge of the
crowd interrupted him with n ques.
tlon as TO his connection with the
crime. The man on the gallows
made an evasiye reply, and then en-
sued n colloquy in Pennsylvania
Dutch that would have been ex-
tremely funny under different cir
cumstances, and which was not fin
ished until each had talked the other
out. So strange n scene was never
witnessed at n hanging in this State
before or since.
Either this statement is absolutely
false or grossly exaggerated. We
coul1 not find anyone to corroberate
the statements made above. Some
one interrogated remembered of a
conversation. but evidently the above
is grossly exaggerated.
