Wil- liams, of Port Matilda, will sympathize with him in the destruction of his home by fire last Saturday evening. Mr. Wil- liams ‘was away from home and Mrs. Williams and her five children were all at a bazaar in Port Matilda when the fire broke out. It started on the outside of the house at the foundation, and soon ate its way to the roof between the weather boarding and the plastering. Most of the furniture was gotten out of the building but when the fire was over lots of it had disappeared. The very na- ture of the origin of the fire looks as if it had been the work of an incendiary.

He was not only pinned under the car but one of the broken bows of the top ran through the fleshy part of his right | leg and hip so that it was necessary to saw the broken bow in two before he could be released. After the accident the young lady, who was comparatively uninjured, managed to crawl from be- neath the car and went to the nearest house where she telephoned for a doctor and other assistance. It took some time, however, to rescue Weber from his pre- carious position, but when released, the broken bow extracted from his leg and first aid rendered he was taken home. While he will be housed up for some time no serious consequences are antici- pated. ——————e ——Men’s high cut, $2.48.—YEAGER’S Shoe Store. —— a ——In the hustle and bustle of making a living and accumulating as much of this world’s goods as possible the aver- age person does not give much consider- ation these days to his less fortunate brethren, hence it is truly refreshing to. hear of an act of human kindness, es- pecially so near the holiday season. And the reason for this item is that on Mon- day morning William Doak, the deaf and blind man who helps to support himself by selling lead pencils, shoe strings, etc., on the street, brought to this office a note, penciled in his own handwriting, in which he told of Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Thal butchering their fat porkers on De- cember first and making a feast day of the event by entertaining about thirty- five of their friends at a big dinner. And always being very kind to Mr. Deak they invited him to share the dinner. Mrs. Thal met him at the door and tak- ing his arm led him to one of the best seats in the dining room, while his wants were carefully looked after by Mrs. Ma- ry Beezer and Mrs. Catharine Beezer, who saw to it that his plate was never empty until Billy’s appetite was entirely satisfied. That he appreciated their kindness is evidenced by the fact that he has in this way made public acknowl- edgement of the same. ~—Subscribe for the WATCHMAN. red rubber gums, 49-2 Ee ____ CENTRE COUNTY FARMERS’ INSTITUTES. | —M.
