Pleasant Gap —Singular Case.
The venerable John Furey, aged 87
years, ill all winter, seems to have won
a new lease of life, being able to go
about out doors again, which his nu-
merous friends will be glad to learn.
A singular case of unconsciousness is
related to us by Dr. Emerick. A 15-
year old daughter of Mr. Curry, of
Pleasant Gap, on Monday morning, 30
suddenly dropped over unconscious,
and remained in that condition until
Saturday morning following, when she
suddenly regained consciousness, hav-
ing been utterly oblivious to what was
going on—a blank leaf in her life. Af
ter coming to, the young lady was as
well as ever in all respects. The doc-
tor is of the opinion that the trouble
was caused by extreme over-exertion,
when, day previous, Sunday, she, with
others, ascended the steep mountain
near the Gap, to view the fire,
Hot Fishing.
One day last week a Lewisburg fish-
erman drove to a mountain stream to
fish. Fastening his horse toa conve
nient place, and had used his rod and
line but a very brief time when he dis-
covered he was being surrounded by
fire. He lost no time in mounting his
rig, gallopped off, and by little spaces
dashing through fire,

To Protect Game and Fish,
Judges in different counties in the
state have been instructing constables
in regard to the enforcement of the
law for the protection of game and
fish. Thisis as it should be. The
state spends large sums to stock the
streams with fish, and the laws passed
for their protection should be enforced
without fear, favor or affection.

The early part of their married’ life
was spent in Sugar valley, but later
they removed to Brush valley, near
Wolfe's Store, where they continued
farming for many years.
About ten years ago Mrs. Scholl
then an old lady, experienced a very
serious fall which permanently in-
jured her hip, makiog it very difficult
for her to walk, and as a result she
was confined to her room most of the
time.
The past two years of her life were
spent in this town with her daughter,

bersburg, and Peter Rishell, of Sha-

Chewed by a Vicious Hog,
At Jersey Bhore Thursday, Charles,
the two-year-old son of LL. A. Btone-
braker, followed his mother to the
rear of the lot, where several hogs
were kept. The child reached in
through the slats to pat the pigs. One
vicious hog grabbed the child's hand
between its jaws and began chewiug it.
The boy's screams hurried the mother
to the pen. Bhe was compelled to
beat the hog before it would release
the child's hand. The little fellows
hand and wrist were frightfully lacer-
ated. The wounds were cauterized by
a physician.
» A Small Blaze, %
On Monday Luse’s planing mill at
the station had a narrow escape from
destruction by fire. A spark from the
boiler stack lodged oun the roof and
started an incipient blaze. The fire
burned a hole through the roof and
sparks dropped through the roof to the
floor below, The hands were running
the planer and the fire was right over-
head, and was at once discovered. A
stream was put on the blaze from a
small hose, and it was extinguished.
A hole about two feet in diameter was
burned in the roof.

The Fires Out, Great Damage Done,
Friday afternoon Providence sent a
light shower, only .07 inch, which
served to extinguish the forest fires in
Centre county, which had now held
sway for fully two weeks, in apite of
the efforts to put out the flames by
scores of squads of men in all sections.
We think it is no overestimate to put
the number of acres burned over in
this county, at fifty to seventy five
thousand acres, Averaging the harm
done, to new giowth and standing
timber, at $5 per acre, and we have a
loss sustained in our county of no less
than a quarter million of dollars, from
flames running riot in our forests for
two weeks ! Estimate the loss in fifty
years past, not one year having escap-
ed these fires both in the spring and
fall. The damage runs high in mill
ions.
Saturday morning last, for the first
time in two weeks, a clear and smoke-
less sky greeted us. Providence with
an 1-8 inch of rain, inside of an hour,
did what a little army of rugged fire-
fighters failed to accomplish in two
weeks of the most strenuous effort,

Important Legal Decision, |
In the Juniata county court last
week, a case of the owner of a farm
against her tenant was on trial. The |
prosecutrix depended on the written |
lease, signed by the tenant, to prove |
her case. The point was raised by the |
defendant’s attorney that the lease not |
being stamped according to the act of |
Congress, it was not a legal lease and |
therefore should not be admitted in
evidence. The court sustained the ob
jection and the prosecutrix lost her

DOGS MUST WEAR miZziss,
The Burgess Issues Such Edict Because of
a Mad Dog Scare.
Considerable consternation was
caused in town on Tuesday over a mad
dog scare, and the posting of notices
over Burgess Riter's name on a resolu-
tion by the town council, placing all
four-legged canines under a quaran-
tine for an indefinite period.
The proclamation requires all dogs
running at large in the boro to wear a
muzzle, and the notice cites that any
found at large without a muzzle will
be seized, and held for eight days, and
if the owner does not pay all fines and
costs, shall be sent to dog heaven in a
humane manner, viz, by being shot.
And all this trouble and official proe-
lamation was caused on Bunday, when
a dog supposed to have the rabies, was
seen by some one making fast tracks
down through town, and scting very
strangely. Just who saw the incident
