They had in their possession sev. eral bottles of fire water from which they imbibed quite freely. Feeling quite good it was decided to take a drive andt paint the country red. One of the young men went to his father’s stable and go a horse and buggy and the three started oft for for a glorious old drunk. As they traveled along they kept pulling at the contents of their flasks until they were swiming full. Their horse had the worst of the bargain, as they drove the poor brute as hard as it could go, piling onthe whale-bone at every jump; yelling: cussing and swearing as they went along until the horse became unmanageable and upset the buggy and became de. tached, but a piece of the shaft still clung to the harness. The frightened animal went up the road with the plece flying after him cutting and lacerating his sides and limbs frightfully. When caught blood was flowing freely from several deep gashes and had not it been cared for immediately would have bled to death. The occupants of the buggy remained where the accident occurred | Catho- | A | first-class time is promised to all who at- | son | | GOV. BEAVER AND GEN. HASTINGS SAY S80. An Appropriation of 870,000 00 to be asked for—Sad Experience o: un Editor —Locasts are Coming, Dross Uniformas For Pennsylvania Tro: ps nan interview at New York city, last week Gen, Hastings said: The troops from every other state came in their best uniform, while our troops were compelled to wear their fatigue uniforms with knapsack and blanket This is I admit, a burden to the men. yet there is no alternative for it. While It may seem hard that the regiments that have dress uniforms are not per mitted to wear them on an occasion of this kind, we are compelled to order all the men out in the only uniform provid. ed by the state. I would be only too glad to see our men in light and bright uniforms. If they had been provided with them yesterday, they would have eclipsed anything in the line, 1 think the members of the legislature who saw the whole parade will agree with me in this, “Governor Beaver and I have talked this matter over, after due considera- tion, have concluded to ask the legisia- ture for an appropriation fora second uniform for the guard. It is vo more than the men are entitled to. New York spent $400,000 in equipping her troops. it would not take anything like that amount for Pennsylvania's troops. We mean to ask the legislature for $70,000, and I hope to receive it." Sad Experience. The following sorrowful complaint is taken from an exchange, and similar grievances may be recognized. no doubt, by many publishers : “Last week a man stepped up to us on the street and said he would ray us every cent he owed us if he li ved until Saturday p. m.

His aged widow and seven children with their families are left to mourn his departure, sharing the sym. path: of neighbors and acquaintances in their bereavement, The Locusts are Coming In a snort time the monotonous song of the seventeen year locusts will be heard from morning till night, repeating over and over again P-ha-ra.o.h. These pests, which make their visits every sev- enteen years, are found this year in al. most countless numbers in gardens and fields, and wherever the ground is brok- en. There is nothing musical about the song of a locust, and the damage they do to young trees and shrubbery is great. The graduating exercises of the class of "8 Bellefoute High School will be held in the Court House on the after noon and evening of Thursday, May 16th. The music for the occassion will be furnished by the new Bellefonte Or. chestra. " Watal Avcldent.
