Head Almost Blown Of.

Heenan Stahlman and his son aged
about seventeen or eighteen years, OF
near Kahletown, in Eldred township,
went out to the woods to look at some
timber, and incidentally to hunt for
pheasants and squirrels. About four
o'clock they came across pheasant.
Mr.. Stahlman cooked his gun TO shoot
at it, but it flew away before he could
get a shot at 1t. Without putting the
hammer down he placed the gun on his
shoulder and walked on. His son was
walking directly after him. When
going forward, in some way twig or
vine or limb caught the trigger of the
gun and caused its discharge. The load
struck the boy square In the head,
almost blowing it from his shoulde RS,
and causing instant death. It was the
saddest accident that ever occurred In
that community. .-Brookville Democrat.

taken from the venerable Roberts, the

act of this successful play, in answer to
a query, as the Bell Of st. Bernard is
tolling, what means the tolling Of
that bell ?" He replies, Scarcely a

of St. Bernard, imbued with human in

Give It Immediate Attention.

Considering the fact that there have
been several cases OF diphtheria in town
recently and that case OF smallpox
might develope most any day, it be-
hooves parents to be exceedingly care
full about sending their children to
school when they have a sore throat or
broken out with pimples. Would it
not be wise and proper thing to consult
a doctor about the child's condition and
know what the trouble is before send
ing the child to school and exposing a
room full OF children. II this precaution
was observed there would be little
danger OF any contagious disease spread
ing in our schools or town.

Barn Rurned--cow cremated.

About ten o'clock last Monday night
p. A. Hardman's barn In West Reyn-
oldsville was burned. The fire was not
discovered in time to get valuable cow
out of the barn and she was burned TO
death. The origin OF the fire Is un-
known, but the supposition is that the
barn was struck by lightning, as there
was hard rain and electrical storm at
the time. The barn was the property
Of the tannery company. Mr.. Hard
man did not have any insurance on the
COW or contents Of the barn.
The Volunteer Fire Company Of West
Reynoldsville responded promptly to
the fire alarm and we're soon at the
scene OF fire, but the barn burned so
quickly that they could not save it, The
members Of the fire company had just
adjourned from meeting at the town
hall were they we're arranging for the
oyster supper next Monday evening,
aud some OF them had on their Sunday
clothes, but thunder, lightning and
hard down pour OF rain did not make
them hesitate to respond to the first fire
alarm since the Volunteer Fire Com
pany was organized.
Hope Fire Co. from this borough
started to the fire, but their services
were not needed.
