restore the limbs if possible. The treat
ment was insffectual the disease finally
found its way to the brain in a violent
form which soon brought death. She

Probably the largest run of ba-ges
and fiat boats ever made from this place
is being made this week. There are about
forty barges and twenty-five flat boats,
and the scene about the river bridge has
been busy one for the past few days.
The amount of money involved in this
run alone is about $4,000. which goes to
show that the boat building dustry in
this section is no small affair, End is the
cause of the distribution of quite num-
Der of dollars among our laboring men,
Quite an argument was held Wednes-
day with reference to number of tame
rabbits which were offered for sale at the
Robinson & Poupenay meat market on
Washington street, it being held by sever
al persons that the bunnies came under
the game law and could not be sold any
more than wild rabbits. There might
possibly be a question if the rabbits had
been fully dressed so that they could not
be distinguished from wild ones, but as
they had their jackets ON there is no
chance for an argument. The law applies
only to wild rabbits and was passed to
protect game, not domestic animals
TitusVile Herald The whole argument
amounts to nothing for the law as to sale
applies only to deer, pheasant, quail,
wild turkey and woodcock, except as to
shipment from State. This is prohibited
on all kinds of game.
The Brookville Republican delivers
this timely warning; The school furni-
ture and supply iiend is again on his
rounds in this and adjoining counties,
and it would be well for all members Of
school boards to be on their guard against
those oily-tongued gentlemen. A scheme
of these importunate statesmen is to visit
the members Of school boards at their
places of business, and attempt to secure
their signatures to schemes that contem-
plate the payment of considerable sums
of money, which on fuller information
are found to be practically yalueless; and
it sometimes occurs that fraud is
practiced in representing that members
of boards have approved of certain
schemes when the opposite was true.
The only safe method for school directors
to pursue is to do their business as a
board at regular meetings, when quo
rum Of members are present.
