ity. He does not appear to be . man

tertained at the hospital home of
Mr.. and Mrs. Svenson, to form the
acquaintance of Mr.. Svenson, who is
q Pittsburg architect, who has built
himself handsome residence ct the
East End for he and Mrs. Svenson
and Mr.. and Mrs. Thomas McC Clellan,
who are the parents of Mrs. Svenson.
It was pleasant occasion and was
highly appreciated by all who had
the pleasure of being present.
A few days since swarm of Ital.
ian bees came down in Mr.. William
Hawks lot on 4th street. Hawk had
bee box on his garret. He brought
the box to the lot and nicely hived
the new comers and now has q mica
bee colony. The bees Immediately
went to work and already have tier
of combs completed, which they are
rapidly filing with honey. One bee
distills the full of q common sized

On the morning of the 9Th, last
Thursday, Charles Cleck living near
this town missed one OF his horses
from the pasture field in which it had
been placed tho evening previous.
The horse company to which Cleck
belonged was promptly notified and
telephone messages sent in all direc-
tions, and every preparation made
for q vigorous search. when unexpect-
edly the animal returned From the
general appearance of the beast it
looked that the last use the horse
had been put was to some work in
harness. The return of the animal
saved an expensive search.
Iu 1893, James Mcclellan in rail.
road employment in Virginia, sent q
Virginia Chamelon-Lizard-to his
father Captain Mcclellan in this
town. The reptile was tame and
had the freedom of the house, but
Rad sense of locality strong enough
to make its home in q box that had
been provided for it. One day its
tail was caught in closing door and
about a half inch of the caudal ex
tremity pinched off. After being in
the Captains house about a year it
disappeared. That was five years
ago and the recollection of the thing
had become like dream, when, 10!
and behold! the same identical lizard
returned 90 the Bird day, of July,
1899. In its Eve years Of absence it
had grown stouter, but the half inch
of lost tail is still wanting. It rec.
ogn;zed the old time box that had
first been provided for it aud has
again taken up its quarters there.
It is hardly probable that it was on q
trip to its native home in Virginia
