A certain young man iu Bollefonte called upon a young lady last week and iu the conrso of tho evening he resolved to kiss her and ho made known his intentions. She said "John, if you I will scream." He didn't beliovo her, however, and he under took the liberty, and in a moment ho per formed the act with arousing good smack. The young lady screamed and brought tho father and mother down stairs into tho room. "What on earth is the matterf" ex claimed the mother. The young man stood at th-> piano almost paralyzed with foar, wishing tho roof would fa'l and bury everybody. Tho young lady by this time was standing on the sofa.

Second, the best buckwheat flour mill in the State. Third,"a rye flour mill that makes as good flour as is in the market. Fourth, corn meal and chopping tnilis that do complete work.
