—An old gentleman tells us that fifty
years ago, on Sept. 27, thero was a fall of
snow to the depth of 18 inches, although
the weather previous had been warm and
pleasant, and there had been r.o frosts
whatever. The snow broke down large
quantities of timber and made traveling
difficult for many weeks after.

—ln certain parts of the west what is
called the "hot winds" prevail, and it is
this wind during a dry summer that burns
up the corn crops. This wind comes from
the Sooth West, probably from the arid

will be better than a half crop.

pants are lined in the seat."

There's a brighter world
And a bluer sky,
When the crop's laid by,

The son can blaze his best on high,
And the long, long rain can sob and
sigh;
But there's still a light in the farmer's
eye
When the crop's laid by!

—A sharp examination of silver dollars

feits of that date in circulation. The bogus
specimen has a good ringing sound but is
noticably larger than the genuine coin.
The wo'kmanship is imperfect. The mot
to "In God we trust" is blurred, and the
eagle and Goddess of Liberty are not so
finely cast as they are on the genuine dol
lar.
—A decocton of cinnamon is recomend
ed as a drink to be taken freely in locali
ties where there is typhoid fever or cholera,

and prevent fresh cases.

—Tuesday Sept. 25th will be the laugh
ing day at the Park Opera House. On this
date the clever and aocomplishod actress
Misa Hettie Bernard Chase and her merry
company of entertainers will present the
uproariously funny play "1996." For
pure solid fun, sweet selections of song,
dainty bits of dance and ligitimate comedy
"1996" is the ideal farce concert. It is too
good and too comical a play to be dissicted
in these columns for the benefit of those
who neglect to go and r,ee it. The point
now is that it presents a clear bright pol
ish two and a half hours invitation to gen
nine forgetfullness of care and makes every
one who sees it loose sight of the fact that
they ever had the blues. While funny
as funny can be, the comedy "1996", is at
all limes legitimate and refined.

The Barnhart Affair.

of Chicora in which Del Barnhart was seri
ously stabbed by his two brothers. The de
tails of the affair are as follows:
Webster and William Barnhart were at
Kittanning on Tuesday and were drinking.
They quarreled and William gave Web. a
severe beating, after which he left him and
went to Del Barnhart's homo, near Ratti
gau postoffice, there he told Del that Web.
had bien run over by a wagon and asked
him to go for bim. Arriving at Web's
home, Del went in first to see bim, when
Web made for him with an ax. Del. is a
one armed man, and on William's coming
at him with a pocket knife, additionally,
soon was at the mercy of his two brothers.
He was stabbed through the lungs and was

Accidents.
The circumstances attending the death
of W. W. St. Clair of Worth twp. on Wed
desday the 12th inst. were unusually sad.
About two week* before his death Mr.
St. Clair went into the pantry in the dark,
and dipped what he supposed a drink of
water from a pail, as be bad sent the
children to the spring daring the evening,
bat somebody bad dissolved some potash
in a pail of water that evening, and left it
standing in the pantry, and Mr. St. Clair
took a mouthfall of the miitare. He did
not swallow any of it, bat some of it enter
ed his wind-pipe and caased an incarna
tion and swelling that gradually suffocated
him. His wife died several years ago, and
all his children are of age.
Campbell Bartley of Clinton twp. trip
ped and fell in bis stable a few days ago,
and broke his thigh bone. Mr. Bartley is
now well ap in years, which makes the
accident a serious one.
Abraham Martin of Oakland twp. was
kicked by a horse a few days ago and bad
ly injured. He was kicked in the breast
and some ribs were broken. His life was
dispaired of at first, but he is now getting
better.
'Ham" Laycock, aged 46, a well known
figure in this town and county, sustained
injuries on Monday morning that are
causing his death. He was driving a
milk wagon in'o town and his borse ran
off near the stone house, north of Butler
and threw him out. His bead struck a
tree and such injuries were inflicted that
he now lies in a condition that his re
covery is impossible.
Drf. Byers and Briclcer were summoned
and did all within their power for the in
jured man. He i* of a simple tarn of mind
ind has been living with Wm. Moore, who
who resides north of town, and where
Ham was taken after the accident.

NEIGHBORHOOD NOTES.
Constable Thoma* D, Grey, of McDonald
■hot and killed James Morgan, also of Mc-
Donald last Wednesday. Morgan was
under arrest and attempted to escape
Gray shot at him three times. The third
ballet entered bis back and penetrated bis
lungs. He ran for several squares and
then Ml down dead. The shooting caused
great excitement. Gray immediately dis
appeared and several serching parties were
scouring the surrounding hills last evening
looking for him.
William Law of Allegheny Co. charged
with attempting to wreck an excursion
train on the West Penn railroad lastTburs
day night, was given a hearing Monday
before Alderman Adam Stork, of Alle
gheny. Law's wife and 13-year-old son
testified that he piled logs on the track,
and had made attempts at other times to
wreck trains in the same way. Once he
drove her away when she tried to remove
the obstructions. The alderman reserved
his decision to determine whether the wife's
testimony is competent, and remanded
Law to jail.
A peculiar phenomenon was noticed in
Nesbannock township, north of New Cas
tie, after a late storm. No sooner had
the rain ceased than the hoarse croaking
of hundreds of frogs was heard on every
side. To the surprise of those lesiding in
the vicinity innumerable full grown bull
frogs weie found hopping along the road
and in the meadows. The batrachians
were everywhere. Farmer* turned out
and readily caught them by the basketfull,
without seemingly to lessen their number.
Everybody now has frogs at meals. It is
thought they fell during the rain. There
are no streams within several miles of
where they were found, and such a large
number of frogs ha* never before been seen
in Lawrence comnty.
At Scio, over in Harrison county, Ohio,
the great sheep and wool county of that
State, last week, tine sheep were sold at 40
cents per head, and it was neither at sher
iff's nor assignee's sale either. This comes
directly from persons on the ground at the
time, who saw it.
William Haskell, was accidentally shot
and painfully but not dangerously injured
by Mac Brown, near Pleasantville, on
Friday afternoon. The two men were
huuting for squirrels. Haskell started
through the woods to beat up game and
Brown stationed himself beneath a large
tree. After a short wait he saw some
thing move in the bushes about 80 feet
away, thought is was a black squirrel and
fired. It was Baskells bat and almost the
entire charge entered his face and upper
part of the body. The wounded man was
placed in a buggy and driven home as
rapidly as possible, where the shot was
picked out later by a physician.
McKeesport celebrated the 100 aninver
sary of its existance, last Thmrsday. They
bad a big procession, a tin-plate gateway,
and a big meeting addressed by Gov's.
