Hunt, Danville, while at tempting to get off of a moving freight train near Grovania, was thrown under the cars and had one leg cut off and his head badly bruised. He was taken to his home, but died early Sunday morning. This is a practice indulged in by many, but particularly young boys, which so often results fatally, but notwithstanding the many lives that are lost by it, it is persisted in. The Danyille Morning JVacs of luesaay, says mat bunbury was excited on Monday, caused by a rumor-that the grave of Edward Cressinger, the murderer, who was hanged last week, had been robbed. Lights were said to have been noticed in the vicinity of the place of interment, and that an investi gation on Sunday revealed an empty grave. The story has not yet been confirmed. Another report says that Cressinger's father refused an offer of a large sum of money from a well known- medical college for his son's body. The director of the census bureau is astonished at the percentage of failures in applicants for census enumerators. He says many of them cannot spell, and they cannot do ordinary arithmetic. Fifty per cent, fail, and they fail because they cannot divide 100,000 by 4028 ; that is they cannot get a correct result. It is simply marvelous, the lack of education in these rudi mentary branches. Something must be wrong with our system of education. Our public schools teach botany and psychology and sewing and mending, but apparently they do not teach arithmetic and spell ing. Ex. It may not be the fault of the schools, but that of the applicants who failed to take advantage of the opportunjtj.se afforded by the schools. I (Okorrg 5 Pectoral J. II.

About the middle of December a mad dog made its appearance in the village ot Limestoncville, Mon tour County, and bit Adam Phillips on the hand, beside leaving its mark on several canines, with which it came in contact. Now the entire population of the little town is in a great state of excitement, as it is not known how many or what dogs were bitten. The wound on Mr. Phillips' hand has entirely healed, but he is greatly worried, fearing that he will become a victim of the terrible hydrophobia. Several dogs, some valuable ones, have shown signs of being afflicted with the disease, and a wholesale slaughter of the quadrupeds of the neighbor hood is likely to follow.

Notes From the Pennsylvania Experiment 8tation, AIR CHURNS. Much is being done at the present time to induce the small dairyman either to buy or take the agency for some form of air churn, or other sim ilar devise, for which great things are claimed as to butter making capacity. The writer, and heads of dairy de partments in other institutions, have received frequent letters in regard to these dairy wonders, rnd this occasion is taken to state a few facts concern ing t'.iem. The value of any churn is depend ent upon ils simplicity and durability, upon the completeness with which it does it work, upon the power requir ed to operate it, and upon the ease of cleaning it after the butter is removed. Although there have been, it is claimed, more patents granted for churns than for any other single agri cultural implement, with the possible exception of farm gates, nevertheless it is a fact that just as much and just as good butter can be made with the old fashioned dash churn as with the most modern churn known. The principle of all churns is the same whether they are dash churns or the so called air churns, and it should be remembered thac no churn can get more butter from a given amount of milk or cream than it contains of butter fat plus a reasonable amount of water and caseous matter. ,The writer has made a number of tests with a so called air churn, and while butter of an excellent quality was produced at a low temperature in a remarkably short period of time, the labor required to operate the churn was so great as to render it practically useless in day after day dairy work. If the same amount of agitation could have been produced in a dash or box churn the butter would doubtless have come as quick ly and in as fine condition as it did with the air churn. While the various air churns and separator churns doubtless have cer tain desirable qualities, . the reader I I. W. Hartman & Son. Underwear All made on lock stitch machir.es.
