canal. Many hundreds of tons
still remain. The finding of bu-
ried ice along that river in mid
summer is no novelty.
After having spent two weeks
in the home Of her mother, Mrs.
Keziah Johnston, Mrs. r. C. Nc
Cutchen returned to her home in
GAINESVILLE, Ohio, last Tuesday.
For several weeks, Mrs. Johnston
has been in poor health and has
been quite feeble; but we are glad
to report that she is better.
Roy Kendall, of Big Cove, was
exhibiting a set of spoon moulds
in town last Saturday evening.
They are relics of the time when
pewter was largely used in the
manufacture of kitchen utensils.
Pewter is a composition of lead
and zinc, and spoons were made
by melting the pewter and pour
ing into the moulds, same as we
would mould bullets.
We are indebted to Mr.. A. A.
Shearer for a new subscription.
Mr.. Shearer halls from Shirleys-
burg, and is making his home
temporarily with Mr.. Morrow
Kendall, of kYr township, and
Mr.. Shearer is sending the NEWS
to his old friend o. S. Copen-
haver, at Shirleysburg in order
to keep him posted on the prog
ress of the railroad.
An old soldier at Hustontown
writes THE down-pour of rain
on Sunday did not prevent Rev.
Benson from coming to the U. B.
church to deliver an appropriate
sermon to a few old Veterans in
honor of departed soldiers who
gave the best part of their lives
to the defense of their country
and their flag. The sermon also
contained some good advice to
the living"
Mr.. A. w. Deshong, of Ando-
yer, and his daughter, Mrs. Will
Mellott, were in town Monday
doing some shopping. Abram
had a flock of as nice big fat hens
in which he took much pride.
Now he has 26. Somebody, or
somebody else, came upon his
premises while he was sleeping
and stole 10. Abram may make
it warm for somebody, if things
work out as he expects.
Some miscreant broke in to
Isaiah Sipes' cellar one night last
week and helped himself to a lot
of nice canned sausage and can
ned spare-ribs that Mrs. Sipes
was saving as a surprise to the
harvest hands. Isaiah doesn't
think much of that kind of a job,
and he has provided himself with
a double e-barreled shotgun and a
basketful of shells, and the fellow
who goes fooling around there
after night had better look a
"leetle oud."
We have heard from many lit
tie bird colonies in town and out
of town. Several citizens of Nc
Connellsburg put up many wren,
boxes this spring, and all but one
of these snug little homes are
rented" Wren boxes differ
from other bird boxes in that the
entrance is but three quarters Of
an inch in diameter, and for this
reason, English sparrows and
other bird enemies cannot
enter. The wrens are paying
rent by giving daily matinees to
the delight of their human
friends.
For the first time in many
years, H. E. Miller, of Burnt
Cabins, paid a visit to McCon-
nellsburg. Mr.. Miller occupies
his time by contracting to get out
logs during winter time, and
making roads in the summer
time. He is foreman Of section
No. 1913, under State road work
in Dublin township. He said
that ali work was stopped by the
State on May 25th. Much of the
work in that township consists of
