Tradition says ther? is a woman in
neighboring town with a boy prone to
lying out late at nights. Recently she
d him some needles, and now when
e thinks it is time for him to wash his
etand go to bed she bangs a horse
oe magnet on .the door knob and he
pears, He may scratch and yowl, and
et other boys to hold on, but before he
an make his arrangements he is at the
ont door trying to swallow the brass
nob. This is a pretty tough story, and
o hope the Government will send out a
ientifio exploring party to investigate
A . Chorch Festival. On Wed-
esday afternoon, and evening August

parce; but let us follow, as far as we can,
he scriptural injunction, "Cast thy
read upon the waters and it shall re
turn after many days."

Terrible Hail Storm. Last Fri.
flay, terrifio hail and wind storm visi
ted the eastern part of this county, do
ping untold damage to all kinds of crops,
The leaves and fruit were stripped from
khe apple trees; oats were cut down
nd then cut into pieces; potatoes were
tterly destroyed, and hay in vast quan-
ties, rendered worthless. So far as we
ave been abble to learn the storm ex-
ended about four miles in width and
(teen long. The farm of Jacob Mo-
ley was laid waste and we are told
he offered all the products tor 85.
. Hyde is a losser to the amount of
$2000. Mr, Hyde had planted
00 bushels of seed oars expeotiog
ap an immense harvest, all of which
destroyed. We have it from trust-
l0ttuy authority, that the ground was
vrerew.to a depth ot several inches
with hail,Vand that it was an easy mat-
r to shovel it up with a scoop-shovel.
We have not learned the total amount
f damage,'. but it must run into the
thousands.
Damage Law. Few people are
ware that there is on the, statute books
of the State a civil damage law, under
which friends of persons injured by the
ales of liquors may recover damages.
The following is the third seotion ot the
ot of May 8, 1S54;
"Any person furnishing intoxicating
drinks to any other person in violation
of any existing law, or of the provisions
of this act, shall be held civilly respon
sible for any injury to persons or prop
erty in oonsequeoce of such furnishing
nd any one aggrivated may recover full
damages against such persons so furnish
ing, by action on the case, instituted in
ay eourt having jurisdiction of form of
ctioo in this State."
There is story of an Indian boy
taken by some good missionaries to ed
ucate. Before completing his educa
tion he returned to his tribe, and began
to preaeh for his brethren. Sometime
iter, he met one ol his missionary
friends, who asked him how he occupred
his time. "O! me preach," said the In
dian -How much pay do you get?"
aaked the missionary. "Shilling a
waek," taii the Indian. Very poor
pay," replied the missionary. "Yes,"
aid the Indian, "but hiui d poor
preach.
"Those Five Dollars." The head
ing of this article we quote irom the
last issue o! the Elk Democrat, and re
lates.ns our readers will at once surmise,
to our taking five dollars on the fourth,
for calling numbers, and selling tickets
at a dance held on the evening of that
day. Mr. Miller in his effort has occu
pied over a column of the Democrat to
explain about "Those Five Dollars1''
We have carefully senned the aforesaid
article, and failed yes, utterly failed, to
even see the first semblance of an argu
ment showing up the great wrong we
did in faking five dollars. However,
we notice that Mr. Miller has character
ized us as having "ungainly arm?;"
"fuzzy pate" and "smutty jaw;" and
numerous other names, more charaoteris
tio of the Miller, who wrote them than
of the printer to whom they are applied,
at least we believe this will be the ver
dict of that "discriminating publio" on
whom Mr. Miller fondly hopes to throw
the burden of his lolly, as evinced in
the article before mentioned. It is hard
work for a person to answer a thing
when you have nothing to answer, and
had Mr Miller made the least shadow of
an argument, wo would then have had
something to answer. Mere assertions
count as nought and are as apt to re
bound on the person that makes them,
as they are to hurt the person of whom
they are made. The Miller did not
want to make a publio matter of this
affair, but to set himself right before the
world he must needs strike us in the,
back, undor the cover of "those persons'
and when we protest against the outrage
he pours on our "defenceless head" the
vials of his unmeaning argument, and
then, puffed up with conceit, he makes
himself believe he has written some
thing that cannot bo answered. aud some"
thing that will cause the life of the
Advocate, and its editor, to hang in the
balance. Behold, gentle reader anoth
er tragio attitude which the young
man takes when the "ungaiuly armed"
Hank of the Adiocatc appears before
the committee with his bill for "those
five dollars;" he at once becomes too lull
for utterance, and we might add tint it
were well for his credit that he were
't jo full for utteranos" at all tirass, and
surely then he would not show hituse If
to be so great a fool, like that boy
whose father told him, when starting
into the world for the first time, not to
open his mouth aud no one would sus
pect him of being a fool; tho first time
the boy was spoken to he disregarded
his father's advice aud the fesult was
all knew him to bo a fool. Again Mr.
Miller says; "wo were requested by somo
of our must respected citizens to pub
lised the whole transaction, in order that
the public might know what Parsons
was capable of doing." In this sentence
ho strives to convey tho impression
that we were capable of almost any vi:
lany; of this we have nothing to say.
simply we leave it with a "discriminat
ing publio" that have known us for
twenty years, to determine whether Mr.
Miller has any ground, save that of mer
cenary motive, to publish such an asser
tion. Mr. Miller also, accuses us of
having volunteered our services on the
fourth-of-July, this is not true, aud we
can if necessary, furnish proof to sustain
our statement. We fiud at the end of
this famous article that Mr. Miller has
resource to doggeral to more fully redi
cule us, this ho charges to a "friend of
known poetical proolivites" when the
truth is he wrote the stuff himself.
Miller, calls us the "five dollar man,"
we might more justly call him the
"fourteen per cent." una, an explana
tion of which term we may sometime
give.
Murder in Jefferson County;.
We learn from the Brookville Jiejmbli
can, of last week, that Henry Perry, of
Snyder township, iu that county, was
shot by a man named Amzia Sibloy, a
near neighbor, on Wednesday evening
tho 15th iost., resulting fatally on the
following Sunday morning. It appears
that a family difficulty existed between
the parties, an improper intimacy exist
ing between the wife of the murdered
man and Sibley, and that threats of
violence had frequently been made by
Sibly in case any interference was made
with him. On tho evening the crime
was committed Sibley passed Perry's
house, whon he was hailed by some
members of the family and asked to
take home some tinware that had been
borrowed to be used while huckleberry
ing, and while engaged in conversation
Perry ordered him to go away and not
talk to his wife, but he refused to do so,
and Perry coming toward him with hoe
in hand, he pulled a revolver from his
pocket, at the same time saying he
would &hoot if Perry came any closer.
It is not known whether Perry made any
further movement to strike Sibley or
not, but the latter fired, the ball take n
effect in the abdomen, passing into the
hip, causing death as above stated.
Mrs. Samule Godley, ot Curtis Sta
ion Steuben county, died a few days
ago from the effect of poison inhaled
while sprinkling Paris green on potato
vines.
A general convention of life insurance
