James Church of East Hickory had
the misfortune to lose a valuable horse
on Tuesday of last week. He was work
ing on the new road up Hickory creek
near the mouth of Queen. A severe and
sudden, but short-lived wind and rain
storm occurred about the middle of the
afternoon and Mr. Church bitched his
team to the wagou to go to the barn out
of the storm. Just as he was ready to
start a tree fell on one of his horses kill
ing it. He saw the tree coming and
struck his horses hoping to escape the
the tree. One horse, the one that was
killed, sprang forward, but the other did
not, with the result above stated. Had
both horses started up the probabilities
are that Mr. Church himself would have
been caught by the tree instead of the
horse.
While driving down from Nebraska
yesterday J. R. Ault bad a little experi
ence which will be of some benefit to
Messrs. Scowdoa A Clark, if It is a little
bard on Ralph's pocket-book. Meeting
a friend along the way, he had asked him
to fix the blind of the horse's bridle. In
doing so the bit came out of its month
and the animal stai ted to run away. Dis
covering the situation at once, Mr.
Ault made a hurried exit from the bug
gy, knowing tnai sooner or latar ne
would be spilt anyway. This was about
mile below Nebraska. The horse ran
to this place and at the lower end of
town the buggy collided with a lamp
post, and a badly demolished buggy was
the result. The rig belonged to Mrs. D
Thompson of Nebraska. Ralph and the
horse escaped without injury.

Planing Mill Burned.
The Wheeler A Dusenbury planing
mill at Endeavor, Pa., caught fire last
evening about 7 o'clock, and was soon i
mass of smouldering ruins. When dis
covered, and before a stream of water
could be brought to bear on the flames,
almost the entire building was enveloped,
everything about the mill being dry as
tinder. The building contained rather
an extra amount of dressed lumber at the
time, which made the loss somewhat
greater than it otherwise would havo
been. No cause can be assigned for the
fire. The loss is between (3,000 and $4,
000, with slight insurance on the ma
chinery, bnt how much we were unable
to learn. The new water works showed
up well, saving other property about the
mill, but the saving of the mill itself was
out of the question.
P. S. We learn that there was an in
surance of $1,000 on the property,
through the agency of Arner A Son.

their work in the House was cleanhand

ty in the State was better or more ably
represented, and few as well, and if the

rumors are set afloat every once in a
while and whethor this oue is only idle
talk or not remains to be seen. A deal of
this kind would be beneficial to the P. A
E. R. R, by giving them a direct route to
Buffalo.

Ponsionor hereabouts are receiving
circulars Retting forth reasons why it
would be much to their individual ad
vantage to have laws passed by Congress
next winter to do away entirely with the
payment of pensions by the monthly in
stallment and instead to pay them off in
oue lump ranging from $3,000 to $10,000,
The obioct to be obtained is this, it is
claimod, Is the beuefit of both the gov
eminent and the pensioner, as the recip
ient would thereby be enabled to go into
business or make a good investment of
the money so received, while the govern
ment would save an enormous sum in
clerk hire and pension department em
ployes, as after some time the whole de-
partment would be done away with. The
object of these circulars is to find out the
wishes of the pensioners in this matter.

There was a time when the professional
scandal monger was regarded with con
tempt It was once the general opinion
of good people that a man who would go
about attempting to blacken the charac
ter of another by loudly proclaiming his
misdeeds was a sort of human hyena or
scavenger bird, unworthy of the respect
of his fellows. Things have apparently
changed, espec'ally as to politics. It now
appears that the man who calls his neigh
bor a thief and a soroundel, a moral leper
and a traitor, the oftenest and with the
most emphasis is looked upon as the
most courageous and spotlsss man. It
is hardly the thing. Take the best man
in any community and let his enemies
make out a character for him as they see
him through the jaundiced eyes of malice
and revenge, and be can be made to ap
pear hideous. Take all bis little faults
and idiosyncrasies, magnify them a
thousand fold, carefully suppress all his
virtues aud generous traits, and you
have a very ugly caricature. That is
what the mud-sliaging politician does.
He does it in the sacred name of patriot
ism and honesty. But justioe, humanity
and charity demand better things of us.
They demand that we shall be fair tlmt
we shall weigh the good against the bad
and set down the items to a mau's credit,
as well as those that are not to his credit,
and striae a balance. We have no more
right to assault a man's character and
rob him oi his good uame than we have
to break into his house and rob him of
his goods. Punxsy. Spirit.
