On one of the rainy nights, of not long
ago, a young man of Tuscarora township
attempted to cross Tuscarora -creek in a
buggy, on a parking expedition. The water
was deeper, and the current stronger than
he knew. But a lew steps in the creek
were taken till the horse swam, and the
buggy was upset, and the driver thrown out
Into the wild stream. Both the horse and
owner, separated as they were from each
other, struck for the shore from whence
they came. They both got out of the creek
.-..u- tint at ditiereut points, and it was
some time before the young msn ronnd his
horse and buggy. Tbey had been floated a
considerable distance down the creek before
the sagacious animal effected a landing.
The young lady was not sparked that night.
It was some days before she knew why. It
was some days before she knew that on the
night that she looked for her beau, he nar
rowly escaped drowning, and at the hour
she was most eagerly expecting him he was
drying his clothen before the cheery fire of
a distant neighbor.
Some days ago a hunting party organ iied
in Patterson "to do" Licking Creek, for
deer. The party were Johnnie Hayes,
George Henderson, George Ilackett, Mar
shall Graham, II. Bortle and James Wells.
Tbey equipjied themselves completely for
camp lile, and in a wsgon proceeded up
Licking Creek Valley, about 16 miles from
Patterson, and near Spectacle run "pitched"
there two hospital tents, making for them
selves most comfortable quarters, after
which the hunt was begun and kept up sev
eral days. All kinds of game known to the
region, fell before the skill of the amateurs,
but the crowning feat in the hunt Was the
killing of three deer. Two of the deer
were shot while the party were In camp, a
buck and a doe. Tbe third one was shot
after camp was broken up to return
home. Backett and Wells concluded that
they would not follow the valley to Patter
son, but would cross tbe mountains to Gran
ville station, and there take the cars. When
about three miles from the station they shot
the third deer. The deer that the party
brought down the valley, were hung on the
Patterson House porch on Saturday, and
almost constantly a crowd stood around

Bloomfield .Idvocah says : Prof. Silas
Wright authorizes ns to 6tate the fol
lowing in answer to the rumors and
reports pu'olihe-1 and circulated in
relation to the sud.len disappearance
of his sister, Emeline, who was lately
married ngaiust his wish and that of
her family to Mr. Wn H. Booze, of
Nebraska :
1st- He is prepared to prove by
two or more reliable witnesses, be
sides himself, that he did not speak
to his sister until he catue to his
house, in Millcrstown, and announced
her intention to break off her engage
ment with W. H. Booze, and go to
her aunt's, in Montgomery county,
Pa.
2d. That he did not attempt to
rescue her from the excited people
on the bridge, but he did attempt,
unsuccessfully however, to tell her,
that she was free to do and go where
she pleased, and could not be legally
detained by the constables who
brought her to the railroad station,
believing that she had been arrested
under and by virtue of the search
warrant issued by Esquire Hisey.
3d. That he did not pay, cr offer
to pay any one to take her away.
4th. That he did not object to Her
marriage because ol ner money,
(about $000 invested and managed by
him for her, and on which the inter,
est was paid up until July 27th, 1877 )
would go out of bis hands.
On 1 day last week a tramp called at the

boots and a bag of wheat. The wheat was
sold at Rice's mill, and the tramp was fol
lowed and overtaken at Bealetown, Juniata
county, by Mr. Trego, who recovered bis
boots and nearly ail the money received for
the wheat. Bloomfield Jdtocatt.
