Traction Engine.

Frank p. Best, c. A. and w. II.
Schugarts, of Winslow township,
bought six-horse-power engine a few
months ago to be used to run a thresh-
ing machine. The engine was not a
good one and would not answer the
purpose for which it was purchased and
it was traded on twelve-horse-power
traction engine. This engine was un-
loaded off the cars at the A. v. R'y
Monday and steamed up and taken over
the hills and valleys to Paradise Set
tlement to do a job of threshing. 1t
was new thing. and quite curiosity
to the small boys, to see an engine come
putting up Main street drawing a large
red threshing machine behind II. The
engine was run up Main to Fourth, out
Fourth to Jackson, up Jackson to Tenth
and down Tenth street to the township
road. The iron bridge across Soldier
Run did considerable groaning when
the engine ran over it. Messrs. Best
and Schugarts propose to make this
engine haul itself and threshing ma
chine from place to place. II is an ex-
cellent thing to frighten horses and is
trifle heavy for some of the small
bridges in the township, but the engine
will, no doubt, prove a paying invest
ment for the owners of it.

Several weeks ago large black dog,
suffering with hydrophObia, made its
appearance in Horn settlement, near

were killed and the COW, after one day
spent in raving and believing, died
from the effects Of hydrophobia. The
COW was owned by Nathan Weary and
a short time before she became so VIC
