ku perversion of real facts came

Umblphiu Times, who sent us
lowing clipping from the New
i JPorhl of the lltth ultimo. The
K reads.

Ivhich amounted to HI, were

Information in the above will

111, 18im, Hartman Truax and
V. Mellott, two reputable furm

Jjsburg, and returned home that
t Next day David A. Gillis, who
Jn the turnpike two or three
West of town, missed a black pig
br four weeks old. Some one

I believed he had evidence to
tvhera his pig was, and ho went
.( justice II. S. Daniels, of Lick
fjeek township, made information

irrtsted for larceny, stating in

JillU knows ho is minus a hog,
t wasionly natural that he should

nerved that Matthew H, Mellott's
does not figure in the case at

FARMERS' INSTITUTE,
THE WALNUT STREET SPOOK.
From the l'st authority we learn
that Walnut street lias a veritable
ghost. It is none of your common
ghosts that flit around graveyards at
uncanny hours, aud make no noise
and wear vapory clothes. The Wal
nut street spirit is somewhat of a sport.
He drives four pale horses which are
attached to a stylish black coach. lie
keeps his unearthly team in lienjamin
Shimer'h stable, and as the court
house clock tells the hour of twelve he
emerges amidst rolling thunder and
Hashes of lightning. A draped collln
Is displayed as he wheels his outfit
up along a fiery cloud, into a brilliant
galaxy, and then dashes madly toward
the Aurora llorealis. Kvery story, be
It spook, or otherwise, should have a
moral, and the moral of this one is
that tlie Walnut street kids should be
in their beds before 0 o'clock, and that
some other ones had better guard well
their actions or they will fetch up in
jail.

OI K HUNTERS.
Scott Unger and his brother Mayn
ard, of Ayr township, each succeeded
in killing a line wild turkey last week.
W. Scott Hrant, has killed six nice
ones this season. He was lucky enough
to bring two tine ones down with one
shot.
Daniel Trille, of Ayr township, shot
a thirteen pound wild turkey, on Sat
urday last. It was a beautiful gob
bler and quite a crowd of sportsmen
young and old took a longing look at
It as he passed through town.
Ed. Simpson, fourteen year old son
of B. F. Simpson, of Thompson town
ship, was taking a hunt all to himself
last Saturday, when ho suddenly came
on a Hock of wild turkeys. It keeps
an old hunter busy not to lose his
head under such circumstances; but
when it is one's first experience, it Is
not easy to guess just what will hap
pen. Hut lid leveled his gun on the
Hock, blazed away, then threw his gun,
and ran toward the turkeys. He found
that he had wounded a very large one,
and, when he got hold of it, there was
quite a tussle to settle the question
whether Ed should get away with the
gobbler or the gobbler get away with
Kd; but Ed succeeded in capturing the
bird, finding his gun and getting home
with his prize, much to his own sat
isfaction and that of his mother.

her and in u few moments fell over.
The family carried her to the house

In this connection we will state thut

entirely helpless for live or six weeks,
is now able to walk about with the aid
of a cane. Mr. Grissinger's many
friends will be glad to leant of his improvement.
LODGE OrTICLKS.
The institute lecturer must henceforth
look for another chestnut. He cannot
longer amuse his audiences here hy
poking fun at our worthy County Su
perintendent for living an old bache
lor when Fulton county has so much
available material for planting new
homes. Clem always accepted the jol
lying with the quiet satisfaction of
knowing that they wouldn't always
have that joke on him. Last week the
gentleman, in his own characteristic
way, went ahead with his official work.
On Wednesday he visited some of the
schools in Mc( 'onnellsburg, aud to.
ward evening carelessly left for Hus
tontown. In the evening, Rev. t. 1'.
Sarvis was seen driving away from his
home, and there was' nothing reinurk-
able about that; hut, In some wuy, It
happened that Mr. Sarvis, our Super
intendent, and a few near friends of
the interested parties, met at the hos
pitable homo of Mr. and Mrs. David
Laidig, In Taylor township, and In a
few moments were fortunate enough to
witness the ceremony that made hus
band and wife, Clem Chesnut and Miss
Etta M. Laidig, the beautiful and ac
complished daughter of Mr. and Mrs.
David Laidig. He will at once take
his bride into his comfortable home at
Hustontown. The News joins their
many other friends in extendiug congratulations.
A COINCIDENCE.
Ilurold find Ralph, two sons of
Dr, Wm. L. McKibbin, of Uniou
township, this county, were both
plowing the mighty deep during
the ptist few weeks. Harold as
1st sergeant of n company in the
ELM Regiment, U. S. Infantry, on
his wuy across the Pacific to Ma
nila, and Ralph on the Atlantic,
aboard the U. S. cruiser Saratoga.
About the same time each touch
ed an island and wrote a letter
home in which Harold spoke of
gathering aud eating tropical
fruits at Honolulu, and Ralph
told of eating tropical fruits gath
ered at Madeira.
A SCHOOL CLOCK.
The public schools of Bedford are
now run by electricity. Head what the
"Gazette" says about a clock that the
school directors have just had placed
In the principal's olllce:
"It Is connected with electric, bells
throughout the school building and
will ring them any minute of the day.
It calls the school In tho morning; It
rings the tardy bell; It rings tho warn
ing bell for recess; it gives the signal
to march out at recesses; it gives the
warning signal for dismissal at noon;
It rings again for the children to march
out. It does the same thing in the af
ternoon. "It gives the signal for the change
of classes; it calls to time teachers who
are tempted to overun tho recess peri
od; It reduces the work of the school
to a system; It turns off the current In
tho evening and on aguin In the morn
ing. It turns It off Friday evening
and on again Monday morning."
The attention of our McConnellsburg
board, who are ever on the alert to
take advantage of a good thing, is
called to the above. In addition to
the many good things the Bedford
clock can do, we suggest that ours
have a bell to ring for directors to
make monthly visits to the school as
the law directs, one to ring for parents
to go in occasionally and, hy their
presence encourage both teachc

Then, some clever inventor may win
the everlasting gratitude of tho hoys
and girls, who will add to tho clock
that now does so much of the princi
pal's work, an attachment that will
make the multiplication table u little
easier; that will help out with the knot
ty problems in arithmetic, algebra,
aud geometry; that will throw light on
that "old Latlu lesson," and that will
put 1(H) on every review paper. That's
the clock for the McConnellsburg

clock with a patent spanker attachment.
Col. II. C. Demming, of Harris
burg, well known to the citizens
of this county as the short hand
reporter in our courts, has been
prospecting for a long time over
the mountains of Franklin county
iu search of mineral and valuable
products. Ho has discovered a
valuable depositjof ganister rock
iu the western part of the county
and already has orders for large
quantities of it. Whether he will
develop it depends upon railroad
transportation arrangements.
Tho rock is used for making vit-
and rifled and fireproof brick and is
rare and valuable. Col. Dem
ming has discovered other val
uable deposits which it may pay
to market.

LOST A FINGEK.
On Tuesday a sixteen-year-old so
of Benjamin Garland, of Belfast town
ship, was cleaning his gun prepara
tory to knocking the eyes out of a big
gobbler. In some way the ramrod,
with the wiper attached, became fast In
the barrel of the gun. The young man
thought of ut least ono way to dislodge
the stubborn obstacle, and that was,
to put a churge of powder in through
the pivot and shoot It out. This he
did, and he loosened tho ramrod, but
he spoiled the gun badly, besides
blowiiiLT off the end of the second lin
ger of his left hand. Dr
der was called, and he umpututed the
finger at the second joint.

Frank Oakman has a mule.
There is nothing wroug with the
mule, except a weakness the mule
has for chewing oil halter chains,
tie roies, hitching straps and tho
like. Last Friday evening afkr
Frank had finished his day's
work and eaten his supper, he
hitched the mulo to a cart and
drove up to Buck Valley postof
fico to get his mail aud do a little
shopping. He observed extra
caro iu tying tho auimule; and as
it looked unusually meek and in
nocent, he went into the st:ro
and forgot ull about tho matter.
At length Frank thought it t ime
to return, and ho went out to get
his mule. He didn't see tho mulo;
but then as the mule was black
and tho night blacker ho was not
much alarmed until he found the
most of the hiiching strap socure
ly fast to the iost where, ho had
tied it and then it dawned ou him
that tho mulo had swallowed part
of the strap, and started for
home. Frank borrowed, a lantern
and started after his mplo, but
ho only found evidences along the
road that his mulo. was "lrlakuijj
good time for homo. Whu Frank
reached homo ho found tho mulo
standing at the stable door; but
when it saw tlio light la his hand,
it became frightened and started
three hours the mule, hitched to
the cart, ran all over two fields
about twenty acres as tight as
it could go, and with all his skill
Frank did, not succeed iu getting
hold of tho mulo till after mid
night. The mule was then right
side up, but tho cart wasn't.
Strange as it may seem, the cart
was not damaged to any great
extent, and the mule didn't show
a scratch.
