three hours the mule, hitched to
the cart, ran all over two fields
about twenty acres-as tight as
it could go, and with all his skill
Frank did not succeed in getting
hold of the mule till after mid
night. The mule was then right
side up, but the cart wasn't.
Strange as it may seem, the cart
was not damaged to any great
extent, and the mule didn't show
a scratch.

Found Canister.

Col H. G. Demming, of Harris
burg, well known to the citizens
of this county as the short hand
reporter in our courts, has been
prospecting for long time over
the mountains of Franklin county
in search of mineral and valuable
products. He has discovered a
valuable deposit of canister rock
in the western part of the county
and already has orders for large
quantities of it. Whether he will
develop it depends upon railroad
transportation arrangements
The rock is used for making Wit
ritied and fireproof brick and is
rare and valuable. Col. Dem
ming has discovered other val
liable deposits which it may pay
to market.

LOST A FINGER.

On Tuesday a siXteen-year-old so1
of Benjamin Garland, of Belfast town
ship, was cleaning his gun prepara-
tory to knocking the eyes out of big
gobbler. In some way the ramrod,
with the wiper attached, became fast in
the barrel of the gun. The young man
thought of at least one way to dislodge
the stubborn obstacle, and that was,
to put charge of powder in through
the pivot and shoot it out. This he
did, and he loosened the ramrod, but
he spoiled the gun badly, besides
blowing off the end of the second fin
ger of his left hand. DR.. Swartzwel-
der was called, and he amputated the
finger at the second joint.

of bugs have not shown themselves in
their accustomed numbers, the new
ones are creating all the more havoc.
