Frey's Body Found Floating in the
Potomac River.

The body of Mr.. Joseph Frey, who
has been missing from his home on
Heaters Island, in the Potomac River,
near Point Of Rocks, was found Sun
day last floating in the river, by Mr.
Andrew Marman. There is considera-
bile mystery surrounding his death and
it is said that an investigation will oe
made. The remains were inferred in
st. Paul's Cemetery on Monday last,
the Rev. Copeland Page, of Adams
town, this county, officiating. Frey
had been missing since the 22nd of
March
Since the above was written, VIM.
ii. Krantz, coroner of Buck eystown
district, has summoned a jury of in
quest to examine the case of Joseph
Frey. The place where the body was
found and other peculiar circumstan-
ces attached to the affair, impel the
belief that foul play was employed.
Some say he had been drinking heav-
lily The night of his disappearance and
that on that account he fell out of the
boat on his way home and met his
death. Others say, however, that Frey
was not drinking much lately and sug-
gest that it is rather strange that his
body shouldihave been found over on
the Virginia side of the river. This is
rather an out-of-the-way place and
many wonder how the body could
have floated over there and not down
with the current. The matter will be
fully investigated.

Shafer Case.

The Court of Appeals in a decision
very recently rendered, reversed
the order of the Orphans Court fol
this county, in the case of Peter w.
Shater VS.. Martin Il. Shafer, ct al.
Peter A. Shafer was appointed exec
utor of the estate of his uncle, Peter
Shater, deceased, and after giving no.
tlce to all parties interested, settled his
first account IN the Orphans Court in
the month of February, 1895. After
paying all claims against the estate,
distribution was made to the residuary
legatees, each of whom executed re-
lease to the executor. Some months
afterwards Martin Il. Shafer and
Others filed petition in the Orphans
Court, alleging that the allowances in
the first account of 81, 900 to the exec
utor for services rendered Peter Shafer
IN his lifetime, and the allowance of
$l50 for counsel fees, were errors in the
account and should be corrected. That
the executor was not entitled TO the
$1,000 for services, and that he should
pay the counsel's fees out of his COM
missions.
The petitioners also sought to charge
0he eAecuJOT WIFI QeDt or SI0U,
which he had returned as a debt due
from his daughter and which had
been marked desperate"
After taking considerable testimony
in the case, and hearing arguments
pro and con, the Orphans Court unan-
imously decided that the executor was
chargeable with the debt of $3.50 due
from his daughter, and majority of
the Court Judge Young dissenting)
decided that the allowances of said
sums OF 81 900 ana $3.50 in the execu-
tors account were errors therein and
should be corrected. These orders
of the Orphans Court were reversed
by The Court of Appeals with costs to
Martin T. Shafer, ct al, the petition
ers. The costs will probably amount
to four or five hundred dollars.

SCIENTIFIC FACTS.

The Alps are sou1e $4,000 feet in thick
ness and have been folded in most tire
! mendous fashion. The strata have not
only been thrown up into bu1ges, but
have actually been thrown over on their
sides in great folds; the arches have
fallen down in many places, so that
many of the Alpine ridges have actually
tumbled over and become inverted.
The red clover, when introduced into
Australia, grew most luxuriantly, and
lowered, but prC 1uced no seed. The
reason for this was the absence of
humble bees-the humble bee being
the one that does the fertilizing, almost
exclusively, in the red clover. Bees
were introduced, and the clover seeded
in profusion consequently. Exactly the
same was the case with the apple.
Nitrate of potash accumulates in
valuable quantities in the organically
rich, alluvial plains of India and China,
the nitrate rising to the usrface
with the moisture by capillary at
traction in the hot, dry season.
There have been discoveries made
lately in South Africa of nitrate
said to be in enormous quantities, de-
rived from the direct putrefaction of
animal eXcreta.
A naturalist Of eminence finds that
land birds make their journeys in the
day time, and water birds by night.
Large numbers of birds seek the ex-
IRENE north for nest building; and it is
and always has been matter of great
interest to observers of these enter
tanning creatures, how 1t is that the old
birds teach the young where and when
to go for food supply and how to get
back to the original home to which it Is
said they return every summer.
A writer in the Revue DIES Sciences
Naturelles makes the following calcu
lotions in regard to the work done by
the honey bee: When the weather il
fine worker can visit from 40 to sc
flowers in six or ten trips, and collect a
grain of nectar. RI 1t visits 200 and 400
flowers, it viii gather five grains. Under
favorable circumstances 1t will take a
fortnight to obtain Is grains. Itwould.
therefore, take it several years to manu-
facture pound Of honey, which would
fill about 1000 cells.

When a bird becomes frosted on the
comb frozen comb), the remedy is to
keep it in some place where the wind
cannot reach it. Fanciers protect such
tall-comb breeds as Leghorns by plac.
ing choice specimens in a barrel at
night, having block of wood ia bar
rel for roost. The first thing to do
is to swab the injured comb with
glyeerine. The next day the comb
should be anointed with an ointment
composed of equal parts of ichthyol and
lanoliue, which should be repeat
every day. Healing is slow proce
and only relief from pain can be afford
ed, as the comb may slough off entirely.
1t Is an advantage to keep fowl which
has been frosted and healed, as It will
be less liable to be injured the succeed.

One Of the most Travelled dogs on rec
ord is Donnie H., black-andtan dachs-
hund. which is exhibited at Cruft's
show in London. Donnie is the prop
erty of an officer in the English army,
Capt. MacMahon, and in life of lit
tie more than four years has travelled
some 10000 miles, 5000 of them on
horseback. He has traversed land and
sea, crossed deserts and mountain
ranges, and been, with his master, a
participant in many deeds of endurance
and adventure.
Donnie was born September IS, 1892,
in England, and when seven months
old was sent to Capt. MacMahon in In
dia by friends. The journey, first by
sea, then by land, through Sind to
Beluchistan, during time of great
heat, was the first test of the puppy's
endurance. He stood it well and soon
began his journeys on horseback, q
mode of travelling to which he seemed
TO take naturally. He accompanied his
hiHoNNA Oh AOuB NCuhS bhAOhSA
Zhob and other parts of Beluchistan to
Simla, and from Peshawur TO Cabul.
In the spring of 1894 Capt. MacNIahon
was appointed British commissioner Of
the Beluch-Afghan boundary commits
sion and took Donnie with him
through the Gomal valley to the Afghan
frontier Here dog and master re-
NAMED for more than year, enduring
together extremes of heat and cold,
hardship and privation. Then came an
other horseback journey through India
and voyage from Bombay TO England.
Later return to India again and jour
ney through the southern part of the
country, something of a pleasure trip
this time, Capt. MacMahon being on the
staff of the viceroy. This was followed
by more travels and hardships in the
wilds of Afghanistan and a trip TO the
Persian boundary Dog and master,
are now both in England.
Donnie is a most expert equestrian.
With his headquarters against his mas
ter's thigh, and occasionally leaning
against his body for support, he rides
without even steadying hand The
horse may walk, trot, canter or gallop,
but the dog is not disturbed. He even
maintains perfect equanimity during q
reasonably difficult jump.
