One of the heaviest frosts known here
for years appeared on Monday night
and, as result, gardens are almost
completely deyasted. Many house
holders had covered their garden crops
with carpets, rugs, etc. until the back
yards resembled nothing so much as a
row of patchwork quilts, but, even so
the deadly frost got in it's work of de-
struction, and with the exception of
few protected vegetables, and those
gathered the evening previous, the
summer crops are lying waste and re-
veal considerable loss to most of the
people.
Veteran W. H. Swauger's barn was
burned on Tuesday night of last week,
with all of its contents. The loss is
about 81, 900; insurance only $500. Mr..
Swauger, who has given up farming
since the death of his wife and is
making his home with his son George in
Johnstown, Pa, CHANGED to be at the
| farm when the fire occurred. The orr
gin of the fire is unknown, but is sup
posed to have been spontaneous COM
bustion from the heating of hav stored
too green. Mr.. Swauger will not re-
build as he is not keeping any animals
on the farm any more, except a few
sheep. He will make sheep shed out
of an old sugar camp and wash house.

last Saturday.
