Patrick Cuscy Discovers Sllyor in tho Crop of it Ooosc-A l'ow Per sonal Points. Special Correspondence to Tho Tribune. Susquehanna, August 24. A hen can sit in a great deal more heat than Is necessary to hatch out her chickens. A hen belonging to Mrs. O'Brien, of Stnrrucn, contracted tho curious habit of going Into the oven In the mornings ind sitting thcro until she wns driven out or until the ncwly-llghted lire mnde the place too warm for comfort. Then, as the catch of the door was worn and tho door was not often shut, she would step out, qulto frequently leaving an egg behind her. The other day Mrs. O'Brien placed a crlddle in the oven to bake some biscuits on. She went Into the cellar to get wood to kindle the fire, and In her absence the hen entered the oven nnd sat down on the griddle. When Mrs. O'Brien returned she did not notice tho bird, and, having fas tened tho door with a wire, she soon had tho lire glowing. A quarter of an hour later, when she opened the door to put In her buscults, the hen Jumped out out and a blast of heat followed her. Her eyes were bulging, and her feathers were badly singed, lut she did not seem to have sustained any ser ious Injury. But the egg she had laid on the griddle was cooked. MATTERS AND THINGS.

Hattlesnakcs five and six feet long are almost dally killed In this vicinity. WHY NOT REFORM? In his last Issue, Bre'r Sam More, the wicked editor ot the Great Bend Plain dealer, makes this public confession: "We lot our timber rot and buy fenc ing. Wo throw away our ashes and buy sonp. We raise dogs and buy hogs. We grow weeds and buy vegetables and brooms. We catch fish with a 4 rod. We dispense xlU the old fashion ed $2 hand sled and buy our boys $100 bicycles. We build school houses and send our children away to be educated awav from home. And lastly we send our boys out with a $10 gun and $10 dogs to hunt 10 cent game. And then we complain of hard times." IN SUSQUEHANNA COUNTY. Several cattle have recently died In North Jackson, from some peculiar dis ease, thought to be anthrax. Tho descendants of Ansel C.

A county shoot and clam bake was held In Hallstead on Saturday and largely attended. CASUALLY OBSERVED. That when a fellow 'misses a train he Is very anxious to catch, he likes to hear people shout "That Is a good joke on you!" That nfter you are good yourself It Is time to complain of the wickedness of others. That the poison of the rattlesnake Is a valuable medicine. The venom of the neighborhood slanderer does not cure. But It often kills. Perhaps .ther Isn't a hell, but there ought to be an extra hot one for slanderers. That at an Anarchists picnic near Philadelphia three Anarchists were fatally bitten by snakes. Let's raise more snakes. That every time people talk love they try to pass their brass money as gold. And people who have the easiest time are generally the first to suggest that somebody else go to work . And "man wants but little here be low." He can count himself mighty lucky If he gets it. And did you ever notice how quickly tho world gets out of Joint when It ceases to come your way? ALONG THE RAILROAD. The Montrose railroad reports n year of prosperity. vear Stevens' Point on Thursdav night, Contractor Kearlns' Erie coal train broke In two and ran together.

L,'Vfefe'WV''V'4 Operator De Pew, of Jefferson Junc tion, has Invented an appliance to cut weeds along the railroad tracks, by electricity. It can be nttnehed to a lo comotive, nnd will soon be tested on the Jefferson Brnnch. AimiFEnous geese. A remarkable discovery was made by Patrick Casey, of tho Cascade, a few days since. He lives near the Sus quehanna river, and keeps a flock of geese. Killing one of the Hock, n pe culiar metal was found In its crop, In small quantities. His curiosity led him to kill another goose, the crop of which contained about the same quantity of the same metal. About a teaspoonful was taken from tho crop of the two geese. Tho mineral was tested by a Susquehanna Jeweler, who pronounced It sliver. Tho geese are most of the time In the river, which Is shallow In places, or on tho gravelly bank, tho accumulation of ages. SAID TO BE FACTS. A Herrlck man recently went Into tho woods, painted a black circle on tho end of a log, and when he went back to the log, an hour later, he found seven dead rabbits there. The animals had mistaken the circle for a hole In the log and dashed themselves against It. A farmer near Montrose, having an ox that did not obey orders, concluded that the animal was deaf, and bought an ear trumpet, which worked with great success. The animal had lost Its appetite, but, with Its return of hear ing, ate heartily. The ear trumpet Is fastened In place by wires around one of the horns. Two Oakland township married men entered Into an agreement to exchange wives. One exacted a bonus of two baskets of potatoes In the deal. THE SHOHT OF IT.

Moody Belief Corps has presented Moody Post with a beautiful silk flag, which will be carried in the big parade in Buffalo. A suburban farmer was In town a few days since, exhibiting a two headed lamb. A FISHING CRAZE. A Lanesboro man on Sundny saw a crane get a pickerel dinner. He watched the tall bird standing upon a log In the river. The bird had a bug In his bill, and he kept dropping It Into the stream till It floated past him, and then grabbed It again and repeated tho per formance. He looked as If he was going to sleep. The old fellow kept the bug floating In front of him for half an hour, when all of a sudden a big pick erel came up to the surface and made a dive for the bait. The pickerel was down the cranes throat In less than a 'second, and Mr. Crane flopped his wings In triumph and flew away. He took the bug away In his bill, for use another time. FLOATSAM AND JETSAM. The Gunn family reunion will be held at the residence of George Gunn In Franklin, September 1. All the Gunns and sons of Gunns will bo warmly welcomed.

Two drunken women, en route from Paterson to the Otsego hop fields, were found In a box car, In the Susquehanna yard, a few evenings since. They were vociferous. Hell hath no fury like a woman corned. The Board of Trade Is endeavoring to Improve the suburban thoroughfares. Quite a large number of city boarders are In this place and vicinity, enjoying the quiet scenery between the Hudson and the great lakes,, Tho Lanesboro mills, some months since destroyed by fire, are doing the Phoenix act. Few of our people have the Klon dike craze, It casts $S0O to go to Klon dike, and If they had that amount they would stay at home, have a gigantic time, and run no risk of starving among strangers, on the frozen mountains of a strange country.

Tho opening of tho stock market tills morning showed a lively reawakening of outsldo Inter est ns Indicated by a largo volume of commission house orders, which had come Into tho brokers' offices over night nnd which kept up nn animated tone In the dealings during most of tho morn ing.

Tho cnurso of tho wheat market wns watched with sym pathetic Interest. 80 fnr ns Its decline wns duo to rcfutntlons of crop damago rumors It helped tho stock out. But when tho cable brought news of a break In England nnd a decreased demand for wneat, railroad stoclts responded wltn a sympathetic decline.
