A Dunkirk lad had a narrow escape
The other day from strangulaticn by
swallowing a wooden whistle attached TO
a rubber ~''squawker." 1t lodged in his
wind-pipe and an operation had to be
performed for its removal. Hearing a
number of these nerve-racking pests on
our streets within the past few days
brings this piece of information close
home, and we sound the warning early
to parents who allow their dearies to use
the pesky squawk-bags.
Mr.. and Mrs. M. L.. Range of Stew
arts Run, were visitors in town for
a few hours last Thursday afternoon and
left with us a sample of tomatoes Of their
own raising the like of which is seldom
seen in this section. There were four in
the bunch, the combined weight of which
was 4! pounds, the largest one tipping
the beam at II pounds. If any one can
beat this for tomatoes let him or her lay
the same on the editorial table. Compe-
tition open to all corners.
"A rather sensational account of an in
jury to Harvey Kiser, at Williamsburg,
appeared in the Pittsburg papers last Sat-
urday, which, we are pleased to inform
his many friends here was not of a SER
ious nature, Harvey having merely got
ten his left hand a little too close to one
of the buzz-saws in the planning mill in
which he is a part owner, and he was able
10 resume work as soon as the cut was
sewed up. The papers had it that his
hand had been severed at the wrist.
Anderson Dunkle, well known to
many of our readers, died at his home
near Blacks Corners, on Monday of last
week, and the funeral took place on We'd
nesday, conducted by Rev. f. M. Small.
The interment was in the cemetery at
Lucinda. Had he lived till the second
day of September Mr.. Dunkle would
have been So years of age. He had an
honorable record as a soldier in the civil
war, aud was a pensioner. He was a
brother of the late George Dunkle of this
place.
AS a train was pulling on to the sid
ing at the Penns'y station here yesterday
forenoon a rail was broken by one of the
heavy engines near the water tank and
about twenty-five cars passed over the
place, crumbling up about four feet OF the
rail. but luckily none of the cars left The
track and the train came to a standstill
without doing any damage. Had the cars
left the track there it might have been a
mixup that would have made things
decidedly inter esting in and about the
depot.
Mr.. Meredith, who has had charge oil

the old bridge so badly in the shade as
to make one feel ashamed of it. The new

with travel to any extent worth mention

grateful to the one having in charge the
rather precarious work.
