The Perry County freeman OF Oc-
tober 20 says:-On the frst day of
the wild turkey season there were 43
hunters on Buffalo Ridge north Of
this placs. There was flock Of fif-
teen turkeys there. The hunters
succeeded in bagging seven, five COM
ing to this town and two going to
Newport Gibson and Lew
is Harris of .Millerstown, are on the
hunt almost daily. Last Friday they
returned from the Tuscarora noun
tain with 80 squirrels as the trophies
Of that days hunt. Up to the pres
ent they have shot about 200 squir-
rels since the season opened. +.
One night last week as citizen
of the borough was driving home
from Newport, lie noticed horss and
buggy with man in it along the
fence Of Geo. s. Barnett's corpfisld.
When approached the man started
his horse towards Newport, when an
other party was noticed in the field
husking corn, he asked him how it
was turning out, but got no response.
He watched them until they left with
their bag Of corn. They only went
out the Newport road q short dis
tsnce, then returned and came back.
| An interesting horse
trade took place in Bloomfield last
week. Amos Shexfier Of this place
and Harry Holly of Centre township,
swapped animals. supposedly '.for
better or for worse" Some time
Sunday night or Monday morning,
Holly or some Of his friends quietly
entered Sheaffsr's stable and traded
back, taking the horse he formerly
owned and leaving the other in its
place. Shsaffer, not to be out-gener
aled, sent the animal left in his sta
BILE to the Hollys; and 30 the matte
rests, with prospects of an adjust

ment of Kentucky are brought for
ward to throw eggs to intim;date cit
izens from appearing in public and in
exercising free speech as was the case
last week when they assaulted Ssers-

speech, it is high time that decent
people assert themselves and put the
black guards whore they properly BE-
long. Ar. Carlisle is not q republi-
can, but the ofense against him Was
an offenss against the right of every

il political hate and will cause the
