The constable ran too and fired bis pistol in the same direction, but the fellow got away with all the blood in his veins, Next day it was ascertained he had a “dear” in the neighborhood, and there he was found up to his knees a chance to settle the little him. oi —=Sup't Westfall has been doing his itmost to run his trains over the L. & T. road so as to afford the people slong the ine every possible convenience.

The three pieces of snake were laid end to end and measured seven feet, which fact is verified by gentlemen who wits nessed the measurement. Whether the hawk attacked the snake or vice versa is unknown, but Mr. Gast adds it is known that hawks have already made war on snakes, In this instance, how- ever, the snake was a little too much for the hawk. ~—Mifflinburg Telegraph, SHORT HAND Wrrrine.—An old teacher is just offering to the young peo- ple of Centre Hall and vicinity an oppor- tanity to learn the art of short-hand writing, When it is known that the system offered is one pronounced by many oid reporters, in other systems, the briefest, the simplest, the easiest to write und the most legible, and that proficien ey in the art offers to young ladies and ¢entiemen an opening to employment, shounld bespeak for the project a most de served success, We hope friends will take this opporinnity by the forelock.
