All told there had been three, involving a total of fourteen turkeys worth about $25, and which will cost the county a full day's session of court, or about $250, or an average of $17.85 a turkey, and the county didn’t even get a turkey. Such is the greatness of law-—-one can get abundance of satisfaction and little justice, all at the people's expense. sino A Corset for the Foot. The latest atrocity in the interest of fashion is the corset for the foot. The new instrument of torture is made so as to enable a size smaller shoe to be worn than would otherwise be possi- ble, and consists of a strong thin band of web, which is fixed around the in- step while the foot is oft the ground. When it is in place it is comparatively easy to put on a shoe which is alto- gether too small, and the pressure be- ing on the corset instead of the shoe the latter does not stretch.

Wp A Blasted Blizaard, A big storm set in on Monday even- ing and kept up the concert all night, and all day Tuesday, free gratis and for nothing. Tuesday morning came much water laden to be fit to dance to the music of the storm and the drifts were not near as large as they would otherwise have been, es A Large Log. A. C. Quigley, a log sealer in the em- ploy of Hon. A. C. Hopkins at this place, tells of a log he scaled recently that is the largest yet heard from in this section of the county. The log was fifty-six inches in diameter and sixteen feet long. It was a hemlock log and scaled 2,500 feet.——Falls Creek Herald. ————————— Train Late, Tuesday morning the passenger train west, due at Centre Hall at 8:08, was over three hours late in arrival, and did not get in until after eleven o'clock. The delay was caused by a big freight wreck between Harrisburg and Phila delphia, which practically suspended travel for several hours.
