How DID IT GET THERE?— Mrs. DKLONG'S house in North Towanda is supplied with water from a spring 011 A. If. KINGSBURY'S farm. The other day the water ceased to ftow all of sudden. A visit to the fountain head disclosed the fact that the reservoir was full, and no reason could be assigned for the trouble, it was finally determined to ex amine the screen which protects the pipe Where it connects with the spring. On pump ing the water out, a live frog was found in side the screen and over the mouth of the pipe effectually preventing the entrance of water. As there was no possable chanCe for his frogship to have entered the pipe from the outlet, and the perforations in the screen are uo larger than the openings in an ordi TOWANDA, PA., THURSDAY, MARCH 31, 1881. nary sprinkler, the question is how did it get there.

He therefore gave OVERTON S2OO in money and his note for $450,011 which suit was subsequently brought by OVERTON. The court below charged the jury in sub stance that if the note was given to repay the money stolen there was a good consideration. On this charge the jury rendered a verdict against CONMEY for $575.
