THE WAY TO Do IT.—Last summer Mr. James Gerow, of Charleston, stamped, plowed, top ,Iressed, sowed and harrowed a live-acre lot, :uppoi - ed not to be equal to a fair crop of white beans. Tho field now exhibits as fine a growth of wheat as can be found in Tioga county. Tho Wheat is about two feet high, even' and thick. Mr. Jerow knows how to do it. Ile has two cows which give 221bs of milk, each, to . a milking. Such cows eat no more than poor ones.

MaStet Erhardt Sticklin, a lad of eight years, son of Mr. .Colin Stieklin, of GermautotA. t on the State road just beyond the limits of this. borough, was acci dentally shot by his brother JAM, Tuesday after noon of last week. The circums4tmeds, as we receive them from the father of the 6 - tvtt, were as tallow's : Mr. Sticklin had been fitting a new i l lituroll to his gun a day or two before, and on that ()thin napped a cap upon the tube to clear it. llt. \ terward loaded the gun and hung it in its ae,Uts tomed place. On the day of the accident Mr s !) Stieklin went on a visit to a neighbor, loeling he house, and forbidding the children to enter mtil her return. The boys-it-turned from sehool, • 'lt.nd with a cousin, Frederick Stickfin, entered the house by a window. John got the gun and putting on a cap thought to frighten the younger hoys ; and while playing with the hammer it slipped from his fingers and dischargyd the gun. Thirteen shot struck Erhardt on the imide of the thigh, inflicting a dangerous woundi tine shut struck the cousin in the knee. Mr. Sall! el Ber- Hauer chanced to be passing at the time, and to his timely aid the boy owes his life no doubt, as the . wonnd bled freely. The wound was dressed UT Dr. Packer, and is doing well Boys, Boys,—nover trifle with guns and pis,tals, loaded or empty. Above rill._ obear tildorst - oittr f avo bAW-DusT.-1 - laviug spare hour on Monday of last week, we dropped over / to Bowen A: Truman's Steam Sawmill, unprepared for the evidences of progress and improvement there exhibited. Wo found everybody at work end state of business activity truly edifying. Within ten days a roomy addition/as been made to the piling ground by purchase, and the railway has heeri,extended several "rods. One of the finest sights about-the grounds is a huge pile of white ash plank, probably 200,000 feet, the balance on hand of a much larger stook. This plank is all to be shipped to the factories where mowers and reapers are made. The mill, a circular, will turn out over a million-and-a-quarter feet of lumber this year, embracing piUe, ash, hemlock,. cherry, hickory, bass, and whitewoodi The circular used has the patent movable teeth, and outs from 10.000 to 15.000 feet per day, according to, the kind of jogs furnished. Themill property has been much improved and in posed in value and capacity for work since it came into the hands of Messrs, Bowen &.( Tru man. The lot now extends to the Cemetiry on the North and within a hundred feet of Water street on the South. The property is situated on the extension of Queen street—a portion of that street destined to be the chief way of access to the , Cemetery, and capable of being made a band '. some street. Messrs. Bowen d; Truman have already graded the worst part of the street, and a bridge is to be thrown across the creek in a few days. Wellsboro needs more manufacturing establish ments devoted to working tip the crude material se abundant on every hand. We need a wooden ware factory, a stave factory, a tannery big enough to require 150 hands. ' Such improvements ~will contribute more to the growth Of the town than a railroad, of its.elf; but with a railroad such im provements sometimes become possibl . KNOXVILLE LOCAL.
