—One of the Pennsylvania editors

him af follows: "Having remembered

—About thirty carloads of limestone
are being taken out of the Winfield

stone vein is 16 feet thick, overlaid by
about four feet of loose shell limestone.
—Deer are reported to be unusually
plentiful in the mountain counties of
Pennsylvania. Bears are numerous
this season in Pike county and very de
structive. In one locality they have
killed a dozen young cattle, and farm
ers in one township alone have lost
about 100 sheep and lambs. A boy
named Clark, aged 12 yearH, has shot
three bears within a month.
—Rabbit fur is now an important

There's no. danger of exhausting the

done with the fur seals.

drinks to excess. Fast means to be
stuck—firmly fixed to something, so as
to be nnmovable. It also means to go
swiftly, to move rapidly. In the sent
ence "Fast by the throne obsequious
Fame resides," the word fast means
near to or close beside.

oso. Miss Gouliaud. soprano, and Al
bert Hopkins, pianist.
—125,000 tons of pig-iron changed
hands in Pittsbnrg last Saturday at *lO
a ton. It is understood that the Car
negie Steel company, limited, has se
cured orders for over 150,000 tons of
steel rails, at prices less than $lB a ton,
during the past two weeks. It is esti
mated that the demands for steel rails
for next year will run close to 2, 000,000
tons The iron men say that it looks
now as if the rail mills will have all
they can do during the coming year,
and that the iron and steel business
will be better than it has been for
many years. In speaking of this condi
tion and the fact that the rail mills will
have all they can do the "Iron Age''
says: "This is bound to have a good
effect on the general trade, as it will
prevent rail capacity from being divert
ed to billets and unsettling the market,
as has been the case a number of times
in the put."

ACCIDENTS.
N. M. Henrv of Myoma was the vic
tim of the most terrible hunting acci
dent that has happened in the county
this season.
He went out last Thursday afternoon
and shot a rabbit, which ran into a
bush. He stooped down and took the
rabbit in his right hand, holding the
gnn in his left, but in raising it a twig
caught the trigger and discharged the
gun, the en! ire load entering the
shoulder of his left arm,
shattering the bones. His
screams brought help and he was car
ried to his home, where for thirty-six
hours he was so completely prostrated
that nothing could be done; but on Sat
urday Drs. Barr of Mars, Wasson of
Callery and King of Allegheny, cut out
abont two inches of the shoulder joint,
first removing forty pieces of bone and
sixty shot, and the young man will get
well, but his left arm will always hang
helpless by his side.
The arteries and veins under the arm
were not cut, as at first reported, or his
death would have occurred soon after
the accident.
He is a son of Noah Henry of Oak
land twp., is married to a daughter
of Aaron Thompson, dee'd, of Union
ville.
Pro'y. R. J. Thompson fell in his offi
ce yesterday afternoon and broke one of
the bones of his right leg about two
inches above the ankle. Drs. Atwell
and Hunt dressed the injured member
and Mr. Thompson is resting quietly
today.
The first accident of the season on the
Southside Toboggan slide, occurred last
Friday evening, when a sled was wreck
ed against a telegraph pole and Grace
Mclntyre, Ella Andrews and Creta
Findley injured.
A horse belonging to Annis Metz of
Adams twp., was shot and killed by
hunters in the field a week or two ago;
and a cow belonging to C. Hoehn of
Cranberry was hit on the horn by a
bullet.
Owen Gallagher, one of the new rail
road laborers, was struck by a P. & W.
