SuStainS Bad Accident.

David McCarty, a welI-known resi-
dent of Anthony township. is confined
to his home as the result of very bad
accident sustained a day or so ago.
Mr. McCarty, whose home is near Nc
KEGS Heights, was cradling grain,
when he discovered q hornets nest
along the fence
He concluded to dislodge the horn
ests and laying down the cradle made
an assault on the nest The hornets
resenting intrusion came pouring out
upon him. He was obliged to beat
hasty retreat and while fighting off
the hornets uucousciously stepped
backward into the cradle wcdging his
foot in between the scythe and the
first finger. In the struggle with the
insects before he could release his foot
the sharp blade had cut a shocking
cash just in the rear of the ankle, sew
ering the muscles and causing great
loss of blood. just what the final of-
fects of the injury may be can not be

a DEAL IN MONEY.

The Butler Times says the foreign
ers in that county are in the habit of
using all sorts of queer receptacles for
their savings. II tells Of one woman
at Lyndora who discovered that the
rats had badly mutilated money to the
amount of $40. The woman gathered
up the fragments and took them to a
merchant to whom she offered them
for IS. He looked them over and ac-
cepted the offer. Presently the merch-
ants partner came along and offered
$50 for the collection. 1t was accept
ed, whereupon the new owner went
to work sorting and pasting to such
good effect that later on the govern
ment sent him the full value of the
bills. When the woman heard the story
she brought suit to recover the money
but the evidence showed that she had
been "a willing seller.

hart and accompanied by Major G. =.
| Gearhart and Assistant Surgeon DR..
Cameron Shultz, came marching home
Saturday afternoon from their week 5
encampmcnt at Gettysburg. The com
pany arrived liz a special car attached
to the afternoon passenger train due
to arrive at South Danvillc at 2.2I,
bat which Saturday was about half am
hour late.
The boys, although bronzed from the
week 5 exposure, were in the best of
spirits and marched down Mill street
with an agile step Captain Gearhart
states that Company f was especially
fortunate and that not one of its mem
| berS fell the victim Of illness or a mis-
hap Of any sort. The conditions at
| Gettysburg are nearly ideal for camp
ing. As arranged ut present the tent
! ed field occupies an immense area Of
ground with the result that there is
an utter absence of crowding 1t hap
pened to be the special good fortune
Of Company + to occupy a point con
vcniont to town, where the sod was
growing green and the tents had the
appearance of being pitched on a green
lawn. In addition there was a certain
freedom granted the soldiers which
did not obtain before. The guardsmen
were permitted to enter the town with
out the usual passes required in the
past. Many of the boys embraced the
opportunity to visit every part of the
great battle field making a thorough
study Of the battle and familiarizing
themselves with the history of that i'm
pOrtant epoch
Life in camp it is true, does not par
take wholly of an outing. There are
strenuous duties and now and then
hard knocks, but the camp just closed,
Captain Gearhart states, was one of
the best summer schools of the sol
ider'' that the PENNSYLVANIA guards
men have ever had.
The local company was the only one
in the Third brigade that had its full
complement of siXtv-fve men, the
maximum strength, on the field for
muster, the morning of inspection
This is indeed a rare occurrence, as
companies may be recruited to full
stength and at the last minute have
men on furlough either by illness or
by detention at home for other causes.
The company had the honor Of fur
nishing the bugler for regimental
headquarters. The bugler was Ed
ward Robinson, of Catawissa, former
ly Of the regular army. 1t is worthy
of remark that he was the best bugler
that the 18th regiment ever had and at
the present time is the best one in the
third bripade

On several of the streets near the
