Train Runs To CatM'tin.

The W., F. & G. R. R., informally
opened the new line from Lewistown to
near Catoctin, or within about 800 feet
of the connection with the Monocacy
Valley Railroad Sunday and large crowd
took advantage of the opportunity of GO
ing over the road.
This line runs through beautiful val
ley and within 2 to miles from and par
allel with the mountains. The section
from Lewistown to Catoctin is consider
ed one of the richest valleys in the coun-
ty, and the farms showed abundant evil
dence of Il thrifty agricultural commun-
ity.
The new line is almost devoid of curves
in the two and one-half miles, and the
grades seem to be greatly less than on
the Frederick Lewistown end. Mr.. H.
T. Carmichael is the engineer in charge.
He located the line and under his direct
ion it was built, Mr.. j. E. McDonough
being the .untractor The line is splen-
ddly built and drained, and reflects great
credit on the engineering, as also the
work of the contractor.
There remain bat 1860 feet yet to be
completed in grading and tracklaying,
and this will connect up the Monocacy
Valley. 1t is asserted that there is no
doubt about the road being in full opera
ton for the Frederick and Hagerstown
fairs. From the evidence of the travel
now on the road it is doubted if the COM
pany will be able to handle the crowds
with the present equi pment, and it is ex-
pected that the W. M. r. r. will run a
through train on Thursday of the Hag-
erstown and Frederick fairs, thus afford
ing persons from both places an opportu-
nifty to attend each fair without the ne
cessity of changing cars.
Monday morning the work of complet-
ing the line was started with two gangs,
one at each end of the Thropp property
and it is expected to have the work COM
pleted within the next three weeks. -

Mr.. VIM. Settler of Hagerstown spent
Sunday in this place.
All were sorry to learn of the recent
illness of Rev. FIR. Roberts.
Quite number from this vicinity spent
Saturday in Baltimore.
The college reopened on Thursday last
with large attendance, up until Satur-
day night the register showed 1872 boys
and SO seminarians. The new seminary
building was dedicated last week by RI
Rev. Bishop Donahue of Wheeling.
From all accounts one or two of our
young boys of this locality seem to for
get that there is law for hunting; since
they are too tired to work they take de-
light IN travelling the roads and shooting
peoples chickens and throwing them in
the owners yard. Another delight they
have is going along the roads at late
hour stoning horses. This kind of enjoy
ment may work all right in some places,
but we wish to inform these lads that it
is not going to be tolerated around here.
A little bit more of this kind of perform
ance shall prepare these lads for either
the House of Correction or the Jail.
A large crowd attended the festival in
St. Anthony's grove on Saturday night.
Mr.. Joseph Wagner who has been here
on visit from Altoona has returned
home. Mr.. Wagner came here several
months ago for his health, since he has
been here he has improved greatly. We
all wish him speedy recovery.
There will be a meeting of the St.
Anthony Athletic and Literary Society
in the school hall at o'clock Sunday,

be present as this is to be an important

fast approaching and some entertain
ments must be given. To give these we

New Bridrp Erected.

During one of the heavy rain falls in
this section last spring, portion of the
bridge across Hunting Creek at the edge
of town was carried away by the high
waters. Repairs were made temporarily,
the F. & E. Turnpike Co. deciding to re-
place the wooden structure with one of
iron. Several weeks ago the iron grid
ers, etc. arrived, and last week were put
in position. A heavy abutment and wing
wall built on the north side of the creek
and the pier and abutment in the middle
and south side were raised about one foot.
The raising OF the bridge should prevent
any possible chance of its ever being torn
away by high water if the bed of the
stream is not allowed to fill with stone
and gravel. Mr.. P. N. Hammaker super
intended the work.

A Man and a Mouse.

Jake. who has Il hair trigger temper,
one day had an experience that should
have taught him the futility of losing
the little head that nature gave him.
On a hot summer day. when he was
clothed with little more than freckles,
Il cotton shirt and rather roomy over
ans, IL mouse jumped out from under
some boards where Jake was fixing a
floor and. seeing no other haven of
refuge. started into the cavernous
depths of one of the overall legs. Jake
lost his head. as usual. his temper grab
bling it and running away with it.
Jumping wildly in the air. he began
raining blows along his leg with the
hammer which he had been using in
his floor carpcntcring. Each time he
struck where the ouse had been when
the blow started to its destination, but
as the mouse al going higher all the
time it was not there by the time the
hammer got home. The next day Jake
had Il continuous line of blue welts ex-
tending from has instep up. 1t is a
wonder he did not fracture his shin,
but fools and madmen are marvellous
~ protected, and Jake is both when
his temper takes his brain on a vaca-
ton. II
I do not know how this particular
battle would have ended had not Jake
retained enough reason finally to drop
the hammer and, grab the mousse with
both hands, when lie quickly. crushed
it by main strength.
When we lose our tempers we usual

on the object of our wrath.

Plant CONSCIOUSNESS.

Plant Consciousness.
Flowers love the sun and follow like
adoring worshipers his progress. ever
turning toward him their faces
Plants and trees lift their leaves like
hands to catch the shower. Vines
reach out their fingers to find supports
by which to climb. Who that loves a
great oak has not thought of it as hay
ing Il germ of consciousness? Who that
adores roses has not endowed them
with some sort Of soul?
All this is no longer mere sentiment.
but science. A SOL of Charles Robert
Darwin has discovered that plants have
eyes and that their leaves form lenses
through which photographs of objects
may be taken. Thus the plant gains an
image of the outside world. and Profess
or Darwin, who is himself a famous
scientist. has concluded that some of
the motions Of plants result from this
embryonic consciousness. Fact thus
outruns fancy. The scientists are more
poetical than the poets themselves
Once give the plants eyes. and we shall
soon endow them with feeling and
taste. Already we know that certain of
them dcvour insects and others are
sensitive. l know an old tree with
which ! feel Il communion that is not
all a dream. The spirit of the woods
thus becomes more than a figure Of
speech. .
We talk ignorantly of dead matter.
but we have yet to prove that in the
universe Of God there is anything dead.
May not everything be endowed with
different stages Of life? We who love,
nature must look on it as a living
thing. Its beauty belongs to the quick,
not the dead: 1t is all part Of a Vita!
organism. Nothing is dead. All is in
a state of f1uX and growth.
When | go out to greet the sunrise it
is Il living landscape on which l look.
When | meet the flowers and trees l
shall no longer think of them as blind,
but rs having eyes that receive the i'm
ages of the Sky and the sun and in
some dim way recognize their friends.
