He was engaged mowing grass with a ma

of the horses, became disarranged, and in
order to fix it, he walked out on the tongue
of the machine between the horses. While
in that position the team took fright and ran
away, throwing him in front of the sickel bar.
He was rolled along in front of the guards
for tome distance, receiving nnmerons

people who have no picnic inclination and

the men (truck for wage. It is ttid that last
April Mr. Mann wa paying the same wages
that other, were paying in hi line oi busi
ness, and, believing that time were about
to improve raised tbe wage generally ten
per cent. Having discovered since that time
that he could not get the additional price he
expected for bis goods, and that he was pay
ing more than others, and that price would
not justify him in continuing the advance,
he notified hi men on Saturday, June 26th,
that he would be obliged to return at once
to the old rate of ten per cent, less than
then paid. On learning this tbe men struck,
and have not worked since, except some
five or six.

Cattlna; Ceal nine Preps.
The other day, at noon, three bedims wa
gons, without loads, to which were hitched
ten mule and two horses, stood along Main
street, between Bridge and Cherry street,
quite a while and attracted a good deal of
attention. Everybody belonging to Main
street saw the team and wondered who they
belonged too, and wondered whathjd tie
came of the teamsters. Alter a while J. E.
McCahen came along, and when It wa found
ont that he bad been instrumental in bring
ing the team to town everybody wanted to
know what he proposed to haul. The curi
osity was soon set at rest by McCahen tell
ing tbe folks that he had not brought them
to town, but that he had them arrested for
doing too much hauling from hi Shads
mountain tract of 1760 acre that he bought
from Leffurt Haughawout years ago. He
said that dnring the past four years he haa
been looking for men that have been cutting
and stealing timber from his land and haul
ing it to th Sunbury and Selinsgrove rail
road and by that rout it was shipped into
the coal region to be used as coal mine props
and that at last he bad gotten hold of teams,
teamsters and cotters, and had them
brought to town by the Sheriff, to .- enter
suit against them, for "cutting and carrying
away lumber. Aaron Shilling, J. W. fto
mlg were tbe name ot the cutters, and (1. N.
Stimeling, D. Reminger and H. J. Roaring
were the names of the teamsters that McCa
hen arraigned before Juatice McCrusa. The
men before the bar of justice said they were
in tbe employ of Singerly and Moody, coal
mine prop operator. Singorly and Moody
were not present, but cent their team from
Wagner' station to the Juniata side of the
mountain for lumber. Squire McCrum dis
missed the teamsters, but held the cutters
in tbe snm of $150 each to answer tbe
charge aa quoted above. George Hower en
tered three hundred dollar, for the two cut-
Sers, and there ended the caao till court
when there will be more of it.

A book tuua written, and so exhaustive in
fact concerning one of so enduring a place
in the hearts aud admiration of his people
is assured of an enthusiastic welcome and a
lasting place in popular esteem. We are
told that the last literary work performed
by tbe late Judge David Davis, Lincoln's
lifetime friend, was one of the many contri
butions to this volume, in which be took a
deep personal interest.
It is a grand career and character that is
thus so minutely delineated. What lover of
simple worth and homely virtue is not touch'

life In what other country could it have
been possible to produce a character an! ca

The third select excursion to points on
the New Jersey coast will leave Pittsburg,
via tbe Pennsylvania Railroad on Thursday,
August 6tb, and will embrace in the points
of destination Atlantic City, Sea Isle City,
and Cape May three of the most popular
resorts on tbe Atlantic coast. Atlantic City
is so well known and many attraction are
so thoroughly recognized that it is needless
to aay a word in it praise. Everybody who
haa been there will go again and those who
have thus far failed to enjoy the pleasure
of life at Atlantic City should not allow this
opportunity to pass. Cape May, noted for
the magnificence of its surf, the excellence
of its beach, and the variety of it miscella
neous attractions, is at it best in August,
and the visitor conld select no better time
to spend a tew days at the Cape. Sea Isle
City, though younger than either of the oth
ers, is a very charming point. Tbe bathing
is excellent and the fishing and boating
ranks with the best on the coast.

Ludwig, from one of tbe charitable institu
tions of Philadelphia. Mr. Luawig bas no
children and intended to raise tbe lad as
his own child. A few weeks ago Ueorge
disappeared. Search was made for bim in
every direction ; after some time he was
found working for a farmer near Liverpool.
The boy was ever on tbe alert, and several
times escaped to tbe woods when he learn
ed that Mr. Ludwig was about. Finally, by
resorting to stratagem, be was captured by
his foster lather and brought home. Geo.
complains of ill treatment by Ludwig, and
Ludwig says, "te pay isb nix gude."
A short time ago a bear while on his trav
els with the rear end pointing towards Shade
mountain, passed through the field where
Thomas bhitfer and Levi Snyder were har
vesting. Four days later ha made bis ap
pearance threo miles further on in a harvest
field of Mrs. Miller, in Germany, where a
number ol hands were at work. He came
within a stone-tbrow of tbe men where he
sat down on his haunches looking at them
quite unconcernedly. The more unconcern
ed tbe bear was, tbe more concerned were
tbe men, bnt neither party making any spe
cial antagonistic demonstrations. His bear
ship, after taking a full survey of the situa
tion, walked ott' quite leisurely without hav
ing been obliged to defend himself against
an assault by the men. '

Take Care.
Howard Crosby lately stated that a Brook
lyn saloon-keeper, who openly gave wine to
the children who were playing on tho street
near his saloon, frankly declared his expec
tation to make of those bis customers of the
future, and ultimately to come into posses
Ion of a good part of what they might inherit
from their ptrents. This c 'rt-uuly was a
heartless proceeding and avowal, yet con
sider how singularly inconsiderate, or worse
were the social drinking customs of less than
a century ago, whtn children not infrequent
ly became more or less intoxicated upon va
rious merrv-niakiiig occasions. The youth
of that strong opponent of slavery and rum
drinking, Arthur Tappar, furnishes a case
in point :
"When a small boy," says his biographer,
"he and other lads in the neighborhood went
to the raising of a new dwelliug-house near
by. According to the custom of those days
the owner of the frame provided the town's
people who assembled on the occasion with
pails of rum and water.
At conclusion, tho boys scraped up and
swallowed tbe sugar and rum that remaiued
in the pails. Little Arthur was one of tbe
unfortunate ones, and on reaching home tell
prostrate on lha floor of the shed. His fa
ther, in quest of some wood for tbe next
morning's tire, saw what appeared to him in
the darkness of the evening to be a log, was
arrested by tbe groan or motion ot hia son,
and thus spared the horror of striking the
axe Into his bead."
Let us be thankful that the pail of rum and
water at honse and barn raisings is not now
the invariable rule. Christian Statesman.

When, in consequence of ago and dis
ease, the hair becomes weak, thin, and
gray, Ayer's Hair Vigor will strengthen
it, restore its original color, promote its
rapid and rigorous growth, and impart
to it the lustre and freshness of youth.
I have used Ayer's Hair Vigor for a
long time, and am convinced of Ha
value. When I was 17 years of age mr
hair began to turn gray. I commenced
using the Vigor, and was surprised at
the good effects it produced. It not
only restored the color to my hair, but
so stimulated its growth, that I have
now more hair than ever before.
