Horse Ran Four Miles, On last Saturday a week Wilbur Henney, had a decidedly interesting experience in a runaway in a wild and lonely region of the Seven mountains. In company with Miss Flodie Clem- ents, of this place, Wilbur left early in the morning to erive to McAlevy’s Fort, Huntingdon county. When they had reached the top of the moun- tain beyond Pine Grove Mills, they stopped to eat a lunch in the moun- tain wilds. Both were out of the bug- gy and Wilbur bad taken the bridle off the horse to feed it. The horse was nervous and uneasy, and before he suc- ceeded in getting on the halter the horse made a plunge and upset the buggy. Now thoroughly frightened the horse started on a wild run down the mountain into Stone valley. The road was narrow and the buggy soon righted itself, and the horse ran about four miles before it was caught at a set- tlement. The top and dash were wrecked, while the shafts, spokes and other parts of the buggy were damag- ed. The horse was badly cut about the legs. In the struggles the horse got a leg over the shaft cross bar and in this way dragged the buggy along. The harness was badly torn. Wilbur thinks the horse frightened at a bear or some other wild animal in the mountains. Wilbur and Miss Flodia had to walk the distance to where the horse was caught, when repairs were made and they resumed their journey. r———— — Enterprise, Millheim has citizens that are made of the proper material when it is pro- posed to push an enterprise for the town’s benefit. They have organized a board of trade, and that organiza tion has about secured a shirt factory with about fifty machines, and give employment to at least sixty hands, The citizens subscribed liberally to the project, and the company will have a capital stock of $10,000. With the fac- tory in operation al! lines of trade will be benefitted, but it is sadly handi- capped without railroad facilities. A = line would be a great advan- tage, and with the public enterprise shown by its citizens, we feel safe in predicting that it will go through in a few years, si pA Diphtheria, The Scientific American gives this recipe, which the whole world ought to know. “At the first indication of diphtheria in the throat of the child, make the room close, then take a cup and pour into it a quantity of tar and turpentine, equal parts; then hold the cup over a fire, so as to fill the room with fumes. The little patient on in- haling the fumes, will cough up and spit out all the membranous matter, and the diphtheria will pass out, The fumes of the tar and turpentine will loosen the matter in the throat and thus afford the relief that has baled the skill of the physicians,” A soy Hs Could Not be Seen. That zone of meteors that mother earth was scheduled to pass through some day this week at any time from Monday to this morning, giving us a display of fireworks that was to be magnificent, did not materialize, and we must wait another thirty-three years for another opportunity.

MANY WANT A POSITION, Applicants in Plenty for County Office Clerkships, Now that the election is over and the agony at end for the rival eandi- dates of both parties to secure the good county offices, a gift from the people, there's a grain of satisfaction for all of the defeated Republican aspirants that it is their more lucky opponent who is now beseiged on every hand by Demo- crats from all parts of the county, for the position of deputy or clerk under the new officials, Around the county court house are several positions to be filled after Jan. uary 1st, The Commissioners need a clerk, a position requiring a man of business ability, at a salary of $800 per year, with a couple hundred more to be picked up around the county offices by the right sort of a fellow.

During the past week General James A.

Reports have already been received from various parts of the sounty, and it is believed that not less than 5,000 eitizens will join in asking for the appropriation. This, itis be- lieved, will have the result of securing at least a $5,000 donation from the county. With such an amount to start on, in addition to the $1,100 already pledged from other sources, there will be little | doubt of the ability to raise a sufficient | sum to erect a handsome monument at | county’s deceased soldiers and sailors, with a life-size statue of Ex-Governor | A.
