-—— James Cartin gave a free show on
the Diamond last Friday morning which, if
not exactly enjoyed by those who saw it,
attracted quite a crowd, nevertheless. He
was in a carriage driving the little bay
team of the Palace livery and was on his
way from Bishop street to High when, just
in front of the Brockerhoff house, one of
the horses began to kick then started to

this time quite a crowd gathered hut it

{ that State College is now the third town in
| size in the county and that every foot of

tiaveled over turnpikes, aod these about
the only turopikes in the sounty, it can
bardly be wondered that the people wish
them vacated.
Gen. James A. Beaver is president of
both companies, which are controlled hy
the Thompson heirs, and he is in favor of
baving the turnpikes vacated. In fact itis
not believed there will he a very strong
opposition to the movement, as veither
compauy bas paid a dividend in years. So
that vow it is up to the people of Belle-
fonte and of Spring, Benner and College
townships to do what they can to help the
movement along. When the petition is
presented for your signature sign it and
thas lend your influence, and if yon are
asked to contribute to the fand for paying
the expenses of the action, give cheerfully,
even if it is but a dollar or only fifty cents.
It is evident that the time has come when
the people want these turnpikes vacated
and the only way to have that done is to
work for it.

ATTACKED BY YELLOW-JACKETS.—'‘In
a horuet’s nest’’ is an old saw with which
readers of the WATCHMAN are quite con
versant but very few, we dare say,ever had
such an actual experience. Bat our friend
Ben Gentzel had an experience Saturday
evening which came as pear being the real
thing as possible without actoally heing in
a hornet’s nest. It was about five o'clock
when he took his horse ont in the barn
yard in order to give him a good carrying
aud cleaning off. He was working away
very assiduously with no thought of ap-
pending danger when, with a whir anda
swoop a swarm of yellow-jackets settled on
him, completeiy covering his left shoulder
and left side of his face, stinging him antil
the flesh looked like a piece of raw beel,
the blood oozing out through the skin.
Mr. Gentzel put up a valiant fight and
mauaged to dislodge the insects after he
bad succeeded in killing quite a number of
them, but his injuries from the stings of
the ‘‘jackets’’ were most painfal. But
then it takes more than a swarm of yellow-
jackets to down a man who won't stay
longer than five weeks in bed with a brok-
evening ready and willing to tackle a bull
by the horns, if necessary.
| On Sunday,however, he went away from
home and by Monday moruiog his face and
neck were terribly swollen and he became
very sick; in fact, he bad all the symptoms
of being poisoned and naturally he became
very much alarmed. Relief was obtained
by a free use of alcobol and camphor and
by this time he is in as good shape as ever.
