The Eclipse.
Tin' eclipse of the sun came oil

and wa witnessed by many of
our phopli. U'heu the bud peep
ed ever tlm mountain nt 6:10, he
looked like he Ir.J been out with
the boys last uight, for he was
wearing a large black patch over
his right eye, and looked general
ly used up. This patch enlarged
until abou 1 6 :3Q, w hen abou t th r ee
fourths of his face was hiddon.
Astronomers say that it - will
probably be thousands of years
before another eclipse occurs
which shall Lake exactly the same
route and obscure the same ter
ritory as this one. Expeditions
were sent to Labrador, Manito
ba, Spain, Algiers, and Tripola
to study the corona or crown of
sun. The one for Algeria sailed

A Statement.
Thero seems to be an effort on
the part ot a few people who do
not feel kindly toward the Fulton
County Mutual Fire Insurance
Company, to create the impres
sion that the company did not do
the fair thing with Mr. Keeter,
who suffered a Iohs in Ayr town
ship. Here are the facts in the
case : Mr. Keefer was not a mem
ber of the Fulton County Mutual,
never tilled or caused to be filled,
any application, never had a poli
cy from the company, and never
paid one oent Into the company.
This statement is made to correct
the report that he had paid a dol
lar as a policy fee.
The Fulton County Mutual hns
already passed the Three Hun
dred Thousand Mark, and will
pay every dollar of liability that
is fair and square.
A Policyholder.
A Malicious Act.
Some malicious scoundrel tired
into a herd ' of W. R. Keith's cat
tle in Wells Valley, on the 18th
inst., which put an eye out of one
of the cows and seriously injured
another. There were live cattle
that shared the" eight or nine
loads of shot. ,
One of the cattle, a fine milch
cow, received four load of shot-
one In her forehead, another load
in each side of her neck, and an
other load in her shoulder. An
other, a fine heifer, received three
loads of shot in the side of her
ueck and headl and shoulders.
While a third one, a fine milch
cow, received one load in her neck.
The other , two received a few
scattering shot.
In this same herd of cattle were
two milch cows belonging to their
daughter, Mrs. Wm. Lockard,
given her by her husband for the
supportofhertwochildron, which
escaped uninjured.
The cattle were pasturing a
short distance from his home and
were driven into a very bushy ra
vine, sheltered by a high cliff of
rocks, about a mile Irom his home,
so that the report of the gun could
not be heard at his home.
The evidence is conclusive and
the guilty person can be found.
