Our supervisors are busy repairing the roads, and are making a good jobof it. They evidently know and understand what the traveling commu” nity requires. No fire crackers to be had at any of the stores— an abatement of one great nuisance in the way of noise and racket. In fact few fireworks of any kind are for sale in town. We are to have if pos- sible, a perfectly safe and sane Fourth of July. If potato bugs become more numerous than they are at present we will be forced to use Paris green by the ton. The bugs are decidedly more numerous and destructive than last year, attack. ing the plant just as the leaves emerge to the sur- face. W. O. Gramley has had the back buildings of his residence very handsomely painted, which adds greatly to the appearance of the surround- ings. By the way, one night last week a scoun- drel entered his chicken house and stole about balf of his stock. Mr. Gramley had better have his shot gun ready for the thief when he makes his appearance for the other half. Shem Hackenberg also met with a loss; he had about half of his chickens and a lot of potatoes stolen, and a night or two after the thief broke into his cellar and stole some of his canned goods. Mr. A. suspects a certain character, and in his next visit he will be received with a load of shot—pos- sibly a bullet would be better. Quite a number of our folks intended attending the Moose picnic 2t Hecla Park on the Fourth, but the attractions here, particularly the 1. 0. O. F. anniversary, promise to be of such a gay and lively character that they have concluded to let well enough alone, and about all have abandoned the trip. The arrangements for the anniversary and picnic are about completed. Of course gen- eral business, in a manner will be suspended. In the morning there will be a grand parade through town, including the Rebekah lodge, and all in full regalia. On the grounds several addresses will be delivered by able speakers. Prizes will be awarded to the winner of the fat man's race, the fat lady's race, lady's nail driving, tub, sack and on races, besides other contests of an amus- ing and novel character. A band of music will be in attendance to enliven the occasion. Re. freshments and dinner can be cbtained on the grounds at a mere nominal price, simply to cover mere actual expense. And if thc weather man gives us a clear, cool day. the picnic will be one continual round of pleasure and enjoyment, the whole to close with a grand display of fireworks in the evening. A special train will leave here at 8.30 p. m. for Coburn and at 9 p. m. for Belle- fonte. SMULLTON. Annie Harry, who has been sick ever since De- cember, is improving slowly. Jacob Winkleblech bought a fine horse at the Millheim horse sale last week. Quite a number of our people attended the show at Lock Haven on Thursday. We can already hear the click of the mower and the wheat is turning yeliow very fast. Clarence Smull, after completing a course in book-keeping at a Lancaster college, returned home last week. Attacked by a Snake. Attacked by a large serpent while fishing in a lake on the Zurnovian farm, a rifle shot saved B. M. Smith, of Lansdale, Pa., from serious injury. Mr. Smith was quietly moving about the shore, when suddenly the serpent sprang from a clump of bushes and with open mouth dashed toward him. Recognizing the snake to be of a dan- gerous species, Mr. Smith ran for his rile He had only time to turn and take aim, for the maddened reptile was following him to closely that it appeared to be making ready to spring upon him, when a weli directed bullet pierced its head. Mr. Smith found that it was a water moccasin, a very poisonous serpent, nelonging to the species of the reptile family which inhabit the extreme southern part of the United States and is rarely found in this section. The snake measured over four feet in length and four inches across the broadest part of its back. Murdered and Robbed. In a little fringe of woods on the edge of Paradise crnek, near Nor- folk, Va., a murder was revealed when a party of searchers out scouring the country in quest of J. L. Benton, a merchant, who had been missing from his home on Deep Creek shell road since last Friday, found him with a gaping wound n Lir face. Robbery was uudouctedly the ruling motive of the srime «a shotgun was the weapon. Industrious and possessed of a large family to care for, Mr. Benton had ac- cumulated considerable money, which he carried about with him wherever he went. He had in his pockets when he left his home on Friday morning nearly $900. When his pockets were searched the money was gone. Locusts Delay Trains. “Delayed by locusts on the rails” is now a common excuse of locomotive enginemen when called on to explain delays at Newton, N. J. So many seventeen-year locusts have overrun Warren and Sussex counties that the driving wheels of heavily loaded locomotives are unable to grip the rails. Find Skeleton at Gettysburg. While they were doing some work near the Gettysburg, Pa. battlefield, two men came upon the bones of a dead man, supposedly a soldier, near which were a lot of bullets, two Ver- mont plates, a belt and a cartridge box. The skull was missing, but all he other bones were found. Woman Found Dead on Lot. Mrs. Mary Gallagher, aged thirty- three years, was found dead, with her throat cut, on a vacant lot near one of the city parks in Harrisburg, Pa. A search is being made for members of a party with whom she spent the previous evening. Taft to Visit Atlantic City.
