Go to it Roy, even if it does spoil a few acres for rabbit shooting there are plenty of other rabbit grounds in the same neighbor hood. Mr. S.'W. Eumgarner, and Lee Chapman, of Belfast township, made a trip to McConnellsburg in the wagon Tuesday. Our first impression upon looking Mr. Bumgarner in the face was, that he had been eating a good deal of sausage this winter and not working much; but we found up on inquiry tnat nis apparent obesity in the face was due to a swollen condition arising from an accident which befel him a few days ago. While hauling wood, he was overcome with dizziness, fell, and cut his upper lip and otherwise injured himself. Belfast township had an addi tion of two to its population last week.

Also, as tne latter is saia to have suddenly become absent minded, and the butt of many jokes because of his pride in the first grandchild, so the Kever end's friends are wondering whether the new baby made him forget an appointment last Sab bath.
