crude, but at tbe same time no "rukey,"
or recruit, as you used to call Ibem,
oould do the job without serving a term

tarantulas and scorpions, dobe itch snd
prickley beat, but wilb all thia truck on

twenty pounds in weight, but you know

know snd I will look it up. Wishing
yourself and family a Merry Christmas
snd bsppy N w Year,

Some Snow Seventy-five Years Ago.
Dr. F. E. Allison, of Nebraska, Pa.,
furnishes tbe following Interesting local
history of tbe ''big snow of 75 years ago:
"An old-timer says tbat on Saturday,
December 24. 1839, snow commenced to
fall about 1 o'clock In tbe afternoon, con
tinuing without Intermission that day
and nigh' and throughout Christmas dsy
until evening. On tbe following morn
ing the snow waa two feet deep. During
the succeeding week it settled down about
four inches. On Saturday, December 31,
about 3 o'clock in Ibe afternoon, it com
menced to snow sgain, fell steadily dur
ing tbat night, throughout New Year's
day, and for some lime during tbe night.
"On Monday morning there w'as an ad
ditional depth of 26 inches on top of what
had fallen Christmas, making a total of
more than four feet.
"While tbe highways were all blocked
and bad to be shoveled out, there waa
only one railroad and one telegraph line
affected In Ibis State. Tbst was tbe
Pennsylvania Central it was tbe only
railroad completed In tbe State at tbat
line ihe telegraph line was from Phila
delphia to Harrlaburg.
"Seventy-five yeara ago It was said to
have been tbe deepest snow ever known
by tbe oldest Inhabitants.
"Tbe succeeding summer was ihe time
of the Harrison and Van Buren Presi
dential campaign. The Democrats de
clared that ' Harrison's log csbin aud older
barrel bad all been snowed under' hence
the phrase 'Snowed Under' bas been in
use lor tbe past 74 years, but the log csbin
and baid cider barrel won out. General
Harrison was elected In 1810, hut only
lived oue month after being 'snowed' in
to the i fflce."
