carora township. Two parties claimed
the land. The owner of the large tract
from which the triangular lot of ground
had been cut by the road claimed it;

tended that they bad settled with Marx for

A young man from Fayette township,
while in town last Thursday, partook too
freely of watermelon, and when he started
borne, after nighHall, in a spring-wagon
with other citizens of Fayette, be sickened.
By the time that he reached East Point his
stomach was in a high state of rebellion,
he stretched his neck out over the side
of the spring wagon to give vent to the re
bellion of the inner man. With, what the
inner man threw out came a set of false
teeth, and everything fell together in the
dust, in the road. The wagon was stopped,
and the young man called on Mits Lydia
Stouffer for a light with which to search for
the lost teeth. Miss Stouffer kindly fur
nished the light, and the search was begun,
but the teeth were not found. The young
man left without them. Mrs. Allen, wife of
Mr. John Allen, living at East Point, was a
chance observer of the man while he was
wilkin? ud and down the road with the
light, looking for his teeth. She had seen
him when he thrust his head over the side
of the wagon, and her quick eye had noted
the locality. When the wagon was out of
hearing she walked out into the road and
rit .round in the dut with her foot. Soon
an object was touched. Thaddeus Kreider
had walked out mto tne roaa uu
in , the lad reached down and took up toe
object, and it proved itself to be the lost
teeth. He returned them tne next , ...
