When one talks about pumpkins, or about any one being ‘‘some pumpkins,” he need but see the monster pumpkins in the display window of Sheffer's grocery, on Allegheny street, raised by David F. | Poorman, of Runville, to know what he is talking about, On two pumpkin vines Mr. Poorman raised thirteen sweet pump. king, the combined weight of which is 1050 pounds, Sheffer’s grocery has bought the thirteen. The largest of these pumpkins weighs 118 pounds, the smallest one weighs 55 pounds. Cer: tainly this should swamp the idea that 1318 an unlucky number; and any one questioning Poorman’'s pumpkin raising | ability, knows not what he is talking | about. After planting the seed, Mr. | Poorman gave the matter no further at- | tention, but left the pumpkins to take care of themselves, with the above result. We suppose the any other fellow who | raised such monster pumpkins must have been the fellow named in the following | nursery rhyme : Peter, Peter, Pumpkin Eater, Had a wife and could not keep'er; 80 he her in a pumpkin shell, And he kept her very well, ACCORDING to the Philipsburg Ledger, in that town when there is a fire alarm there is no fire, when there is a fire there is no alarm.
