Was io 28 Battles
In last week's Reporter we noted
the death of John Adam Miller, at
Millheim, on 13 inst. He was a mem-
ber of Co. A, 148 reg. and was in twen-
ty-eight battles. Remarkable as it
seems, he came out unharmed.
Upon one occasion he lay upon the
ground between two companions and
a shell was seen coming direct for |
them. A moment later and his two!
companions were dead on either side
of him. The shell tore the knapsack
from his back scatiering the contents
about him, among which were photo-
graphs of members of his family, and
these Mr. Miller gathered up.
At ope time he was on a 42 days’
march, snd in that time he had only
one night's sleep. He experienced
many hardships during his life in the
army. His funeral was largely at-
tended.

Captured the Cabs,
Joseph Lundy, a butcher of Slab-
town, near Williamsport, was driving
up Hoagland’s branch Thursday,
when he saw a bear with four cubs
step out of the bushes. The. mother
bear swam the creek, but the cubs, not
liking the water, climbed a tree in-
stead. Mr. Lundy called a boy to
watch, while he went after a farmer
named Warburton, The two men
felled the tree and threw the cubs in
Mr. Lundy's wagon. Both men were
considerably scratched by the cubs.
The mother bear sat on the opposite
side of the creek making a peculiar
noise, but made no move to prevent
the capture of her young.

Farmer Benefitted,
The farmer would be more benefitted
by good roads than any other class.
The value of a farm is determined by
its accessibility. The land that is fa-
vored by the best transportation facili-
ties will bring the best price per acre
when put on the market, There is no
doubt that one mile of good macada-
mized road is more valuable in this
country than five miles of plough and
scraper road that goes to pleces in one
year,
Large Peach Crop,
George Keister, the large peach grow-
er of Aaronsburg, predicts a crop of 1,
700 bushels from his old orchard con-
taining 1,500 trees. He says that con-
trary to his predictions his fruit does
not seem to have been hurt at all by
the winter.
Teachers’ Examination,
Prof. C. L. Gramley will hold the

INJURED BY A VICIOUS HULL,
Mrs, Joshua T, Potter Badly Hurt by a
Maddened Animal.
A vicious and maddened bull attack-
ed Mrs. Potter, the good wife of Josh-
ua T. Potter, on Tuesday afternoon, in
the stable on their farm about two
miles west of Centre Hall, and inflict-
ed such injuries upon the lady that
she has been confined to her bed since,
The animal which attacked Mrs.
Potter was a Jersey short-horn bull.
The animal has had an ugly disposi-
tion for some time, but at no time was
it considered unsafe. On Tuesday Mr,
Potter was in Centre Hall, and to-|
wards the latter part of the afternoon
Mrs. Potter went to the flelds to bring
in the cattle. The bull was among
them, and made an attempt to attack
her, but with the use of a few well
thrown stones, Mrs. Potter drove off |
the animal. The bull showed no dis-
position to be ugly on the way to the |
barn, and when the cattle reached |
there, the bull did not want to enter |
the stable. With a pitch fork Mrs. |
Potter finally drove the animal into |
the stalls, The bull had always been |
tied and Mrs. Potter went into the |
stall to put the chain about his neck. |
The bull at once attacked her, but hav- |
ing the fork with her she belabored
the animal over the head and kept |
him oft for a while until the fork |
broke. The bull then rushed at her |
and struck her on the breast, kuock-
ing her down under the hay rack. Mrs.
Potter fell close to the rack and this
probably alone saved her life, for the
bull unable to strike her with his head
tried to trample her under his feet, but
could scarcely reach her,
Mrs. Potter tried to get up several
times but the bull always rushed vic |
iously at her, knocking her down. |
She finally got upon her feet and no-
ticing several rungs out of the hay
rack, tried to get through there. In
this she was successful, aided of course
by the vicious rushes of the bull. Her |
daughter Mary Delinda was in the
gang way, and with a pitch fork tried |
fight off the maddened animal |
which was attacking her mother. She
safely away.
By the time Mrs. Potter got safely |
away from the bull she was completely |
exhausted and almost all the clothes
were torn from her person. She was
The |
left ear was almost torn oft’ the lady, |
and the collar bone dislocated. Her |
face had several ugly cuts upon it, and |
her arms, legs and body were black
and blue from the bruises she received
from the tramplings of the bull
Mrs. Potter has been unable to leave
her bed since, but Dr, Lee has excel
lent hope, of pulling her through.
The bull fortunately had been
horned, but for this fact the results|
may have been far more serious for
Mrs. Potter than they were,

A Marker for Graves,
Ex-treasurer D. C. Keller has collect-
of the two soldiers who were killed ir
Indian Lane, a little east of Old Fort,
in a fight with five Indians whom
they met near the fields of General
Potter and whom they engaged. One
of the soldiers, Thomas Van Doran,
was shot dead. The other, Jacob Bha-
dacre, came to a hand-to-hand encount-
er with one of the Indians, and both
used their knives. Shadacre killed his
antagonist. But another Indian came
up and shot him. The two soldiers
were buried in the lane, and only rude
stones marked their restimg place,
Now a suitable marker is being pre
pared and with proper inscription
the grave of these pioneer soldiers will
be preserved to future generations.
The encounter occurred July 24, 1778,
Why not mark the graves of the Stam-
ford family, massacred by the Indians
at their homes near McBride's Gap,
and buried in one of the fields of the
Ephram Keller farm, a short distance
west of Centre Hall ?

A Good Law If Enforced.
Under a recent law the county com-
missioners are authorized to take from
the jail prisoners sentenced to confine-
ment and put them to work on the
county roads. This plan was put into
operation at Scranton last week and
twelve men set to work to earn part of
the expense of their keeping.

months and 18 days.
Mrs. Rishell had spent about six
months up to the first of April, with

covery was given her family.

Rishell, deceased, one of the promi-
nent citizens of Potter township, who
died about thirteen years ago. Bince
the death of her husband she has made
her home most of the time with differ-

oho of the Evaasgelieal Charch Trouble.
The United Ev. Congregation of this
place is unexpectedly to get into litiga-
tion over the parsonage adjoining their
church on the same lot. When the
Dubbs and Esher wings were in
courts all over the country as to
Esher wing was declared entitled to
the ownership. Thereupon the Dubbs
wing, having organized as the United
Evangelical Church, purchased the
parsonage and church in this place
the Esher wing being without a fol.
lowing here—and the Un. Ev. had the
papers executed, believing for the past
three years they were the undoubted
owners, having paid the price agreed
upon between the parties.
It turns up now, that upon some
technicality the Esher wing lays claim
to the parsonage all the while in the
possession of the United Evangelicals,
i. e., since the purchase above men-
tioned. The case goes into court now,

Charles Bechtel and Bamuel McCul-
lough, went to Jacks creek to spend
the afternoon and saw an unusually
large number of snakes, Mr. Bechtel,
who thought he was a snake charmer
picked up two and played with them
but they were not large enough to
show his companion his real powers so
he started to hunt a bigger one and
found it, a four and a half foot copper-
head. He caught it back of the neck
and picked it up, but his hold was too
far back, and the snake buried his
fangs in his finger. He made wild ef-
forts to shake the reptile loose and
finally succeeded but it went for him
again and struck him on the leg. Me-
Cullough came to his assistance and
killed the snake before it would loose
its hold. Bechtel was brought up to
town in a hurry and Dr. Parcels caut-
erized and dressed his wounds.

Will Sawdast Kill Fish ?
Is sawdust injurious to fish? Fish-
ermen believe it is. Last week a young
man had a lot of suckers and some
trout in a fishbox anchored in astream
about 40 rods below a sawmill which
was in operation, thesawdust running
into the stream. Next morning about
a dozen suckers were found dead in the
box. The morning following about as
many more suckers and the trout were
found dead. The sawdust floating in-
to the box is believed killed the flash

and kills them it is alleged.
A Big Galo In Weight,
Elmer Royer, one of our practical
farmers, sold a bull last Thursday to J.
G. Dauberman, which tipped the
scales at 1324 pounds, Elmer started
to fatten this bull just sixty-eight days
before he sold him, At that time he
weighed 1070 pounds, and during the
sixty-eight days, he added 254 pounds
to the weight, a daily average gain of
nearly four pounds. This is remarka-
ble feeding during that time. The an-
imal dressed 772 pounds.
