on the piazza looking at the beautiful

corn and those from which the grain
had already been cut, the whole re-
sembing patchwork in quilt, often
watching for the afternoon stage to
come numbering up the incline, bringing
the days passengers from the station.
Besides, we were both good walkers
and tramped over every possible path
within reach.

every time we started out. How l do

One afternoon Miss. Chalmers was in

Something Exploded.

People passing along West Lacka-
wanna avenue, yesterday afternon at
l15 o'clock, were startled by hearing a
loud explosion. Looking from the
Lackawanna avenue bridge, a cloud of
white smoke was seen over beyond the
stone bridge.
Upon investigation it was found that
someone had set off a large quantity
of powder down by the river. The
leaves were burned from the trees and
there were numerous other signs of a
violent explosion. The railroad men
thought that perhaps some boys had
taken drawhead down there and, fill
ing the hole with giant powder, used it
as cannon.
