One day when the train stopped to take water near Motz's mill, sparks from the dinkey set fire to an old stable along the track. It being a windy day the sparks were carried to Motz's saw {mill which was also burned to {ground.

The Meaning of Ned Mair Scientirts say that it means that there i a superabundance of iron in the blood, And the analyst says that it is the mat. ter that enters red hair that imparts the vigor, the elasticity, the great yitality, the overflowing, thoroughly healthy animal life which runs vhrough the veins of the ruddy haired, znd the strongest sentiment of animal life 1s what renders them more intense in their emotions than their more languid tel'ow creatures.

Mr. MeCrakeu claimed that the damage to the flock, although but two of them were killed, was more than the actuol loss of the sheep. The township auditors ware inclined to agree with him, but did not care to act solely upon their own judgement, A Jetler was therefore written to Hon. Frank N. Moore, of Bradford county, author of the new dog and sheep law, and a prom. inent lawyer in Brookville was also { asked to give an opinion in the matter, Mr. Moore replied that the intent of the law was to cover all damages whatso. {ever from the killing, wounding or | frightening of the sheep by the dogs. | I is well known that pregnant ewes, {after being chased by dogs, are very likely to their lambs, either by premature births or deformities that cause the lambs to die soon after birth, lose { The damage is therefore a matter for | { auditors to judge, taking into considera- { tion the number of preguant ewes chas. led as well the number of sheep killed or { wounded.
