Mr. John F. Baer.Jof Mechanicsville,Pa.,
is tho owner of a cow that is very fond of
eating soap. Several large pieces placed
near the water trough disappeared in suc
cession recently, and the members of the

for several days thereafter the cow on ap
proaching the water trough, would look

Frank ''lows, a young railroader, of

In its "It is Said" column, the Clearfield
linmliliciiH says Clearfield has a young
lady so proficient in piano playing that
upon imitating a torih the other night a
number of people caught cold from the
dampness that prevailed, anil some actual
ly got out their umbrellas and gum boots.
The internal troubles that have agitated
the Harmony Society, of Economy, for
many months past, have reached a long
anticipated climax in tho shape of court
proceedings. Henry Feicht, a born Econ
omite and one of the most prominent men
in the c.'lihate community, lias been un
conditionally expelled from the orgauiza
tion by tho Board of Elders. Mr. Feicht
iiumcdiacely consulted his lawyers, and
among other steps which have been taken,
ajbill in equity was prepared and filed in the
Beaver, connty courts at Beaver Pa.
Tho "bill calls for an investigation
of tho case through the appoint
ment of a master. The trouble has been
precipitated through much discontent in
this society. The affliction of Trustee John
Duss to Dr. C. R. Teed, tho Chicago "Kor
esh" has been the main cause. Since Dr.
Teed first appeared among the Harmonites
their quiet community has ceased.
At Erie last Saturday morning, John
Long. Jr. left his wife and three children
in Curry in health, and an hour latter re
turned to find his home in ruins, his wife
burned and disfigured lor life, and two of
his children charred to a crisp ia each
other's embrace. A gas leak had filled
the house and without a warning it ex
ploded and filled it with flame. Mrs. Long
seized tho oldest child and ran out of tho
house screaming. She then cried out that
her 2-year-oUI daughter and infant of four
weeks were yet in the bouse. The mother
crazed with her yearning for her sleeping
children, rushed into the building but was
dragged out covered with firo and burned
alm.ist to death. Tho sleeping babes
could not bo rescued in time. When tak
en out their bodies were together with the
arms of the older around the infant.
The anomaly, a woman hermit, may be
found in Glynn county Ga., in the person
of Miss Ann Piper, who has spoken to but
three persons in the past 10 years. Al
though she lives within two miles of a
railroad she has never saw a train.
Tho stockholders of the Normal school
at Edinhoro met last Monday to elect a
board of trustees and the old factions
were arrayed against each other. Tho
Cooper element took posession of the libra
ry bailding and polled abont 350 votes.
Meanwhile the friends of the old board
met in another room and cast 220 votes.
The old board claims its election alone
was legal, while the Cooper faction will
institute quo warranto proceeding on
the ground that it controlled a majority
of the stock. The opposition asserts that
the Cooper faction voted illega stock. It
looks as if the whole light will be renewed.
At Pittsburg, Tuesday, Dennis Cloonan
was found guilty in the first degree for

at 2J to 4,dry cows and bulls 2J to 3. '"The
Ga-cltc reporter made tho following note:
One of the chief causes assigned for so
many butchers buying dressed beef, is
that'the market for fat here is very poor,
owing to the law prohibiting the manu
facture of oleo, and by reason thereof re
pays the butcher better to buy dressed
beef than to kill his own cattle. It is
claimed that fat is worth more at Chicago
than it is here, as there is quite a consump
tion for it thero from manufacturers of
oleo."
