1t was reported around town Monday
afternoon that Mrs. Aaron Schemer-
horn, wife of our courteous and big
hearted blacksmith, had broken two
ribs while leaning over to dip water
out of the rain barrel. Our reporter
hurried to the house and found the re-
port false. 1t probably arose from the
fact that she cut her foot on a piece
of broken glass the same day. She
has assured US that she will be at
prayer meeting Thursday night as
usual, though she may limp a little.
Let us thank Providence for her mar

building an addition to his house, he
is going to tear down and entirely re-
construct his pig pen. The plans and

Two or three weeks ago Mr. Henry
White, who is, without doubt, the most
accomplished cooper in this state, if
not in America, bought a bottle of
hartshorn for family use. 1t was placed
on the clock shelf, and two or three
days ago, while Mrs. White was tenn
porarily absent from the house, young
Herbert climbed up and got possession
of the bottle. Later on he was found
in the back yard and had got the cork
out and was about to drink the con-
tents for lemonade. With a wild shrek
of terror the mother dashed forward
and wrested the deadly bottle from his
innocent hands, and then fell uncon-
scious. Our reporter was almost in
stanly on the spot, as he always is,
out the grim specter of death had
spread his wings and gone in search of
other prey. That is, young Herbert had
been drawn back from the edge of the
grave. 1T is far from our purpose to
blame Mrs. White, whose heroism is
beyond question, but we must say that
there is a warning in this incident.
Folks who keep harthorn in the house
can't be too careful of it. One gulp
of it and young Herbert would have
been with the angels.
