SEVENTY-NINE YEARS AGO (Continued from first page. ) llarnsonville. Stop on Sideling Hill, which is 7 miles across. This is the worst place we have stopped at. It is a log house; the lime has tumbled out between the timbers through old age, which leaves it quite open to the weather. In the room where we slept there was a bed and just room to undress. The oed was placed under the window where there were live panes of glass out; mp wife choosing the berth near est the window, thinking it would be warmer, as we were exposed to air holes on every side, top and bottom. As soon as the people had fetched the candle, they only had that one stick in the house, there came a heavy breeze which lifted up the clothes on my wife's side and placed a snow bank gent ly alongside her back. She, not agreeable for a companion to be there, requested me to change berths, which I did, and took care to knock the snow off as well as possible, but not without having a lew drifts in bed with us. In the morning, when we awoke, we found the effects my wife, child and myself were wrapped in a fine cold. However, we are very tharnrful we are no worse. January 20th. Down Sideling Hill Rays Hill and over the cross ing of Juniata, one of the wagon's forewheels slipped off the bank. They delivered the wagoner, and got it up without any particular damage being done. January 21st. Through Bed ford. It is 100 miles east cf Pitts burgh, 200 miles west of Phila delphia. This clay is very cold and stormy. January 22nd. Very cold and stormy. One wagoner is very kind in lending us his bed and blankets by means of which I can keep my wife and child warm, as well as ntyself. This evening we stop in the Allegheny Mountains. One of the wagoners picked up a black boy in the snow nearly froz en to death. They took him to the Tavern where he was restor ed. January 23rd. Proceeded up the Allegheny Mountains. I walned up. The wagon was de tained one hour, the road being so full of snow they could not get along; there happening a small Hat which enabled the wagons to leave the road. One of the wag ous in getting on the flat slipped in a bole which buried the fore part in snow. After shoveling the snow away, they got it out without any brepkage. At the Tavern was a woman that was with a man in a market wagon The poor woman was so frozen that they had to stop ail night. It was through the kindness of the landlady, she was enabled to leave the next day. During the time we were stopped in getting off the road, the canvas in front of the wagon blew open before I could fasten it, my hands were quite frozen. Alter warming them as well as i could, i suc ceeded in fastening it down again which was of great use in keep ing the wind off of my wife. This Tavern is one of the most comfor tabie we have stopped at. January 24th. We proceeded down the Allegheny Mountains, The danger and the awful appear ance of the wagon slipping off the bank is beyond descriptijn. Ten voyages on the sea would be pre ferable to one going over these mountains. The day being snowy and the scene bofore us made us tremble and cling to one another as if destruction would terminate our existence every minute but we arrived safely at Stoystown January 25th.-Leave Stoys town; it is very snowy and cold Stopped at the foot of Laurel UilL The people are very kind. January 20th. Over Laurel Hill through the small towns. January 27th. -Through Youngs t iwn. January 28th. -Through Greens burg. January 20th. Saturday two o'clock. Arrive at the city of Pittsburg, after a journey of 2 days in a wagon, exposed to' the most severe frosts and snow ever remembered for 80 years. Stop ped at the Rising Sun, Liberty Street ' Now, another journey over the very same road was made September by Messrs. B D, Waldonfof Detroit; W. N. Mur ray, and W. "W. Bennett, oi Pitts burg; and F. C. Graves and L. R Mack, of Boston tbo Ave gen tlemen traveling in a 1009 Pack ard "Thirty"automobile, in which they made the run lrom Pittsburg to Philadelphia in one minute more than fourteen hours a dis tance of 301.1 miles. They made the run from Pittsburg to Bed ford 100 miles crossing the Allegheny mountains in 4 hours and hfty minutes; they drove frutn Bedford to McConnellsburg 34 miles crossing three moun tains ml hour and 48 minutes; and from McConnellsburg to 'hiladelphia 108 miles in 7 hours and 23 minutes. The past year has demonstrat ed beyond a doubt that the prob lem of navigating the air has been solved, and it will not bo many moons until an aeroplane pass ing over McConnellsburg on its way between Philadelphia and Pittsburg, will attract as little attention as a traction engine or an automobile at this time. Most people who have not seen an aeroplane, shudder at the dan ger connected with that method of travel. It is said by those in a position to know, that the "flying machine" (aeroplane) is not pos sessed of greater possibilities o' danger than the automobile or the express train. It does not follow that because it is a flying machine, that the aviator (driver) will sport his machine at dizzy heights, or lose himself in the clouds. He does not need to do anyining oi tne Kind, i tie ma chines fly just as well better, when only a few feet above the earth, thau when at great heights. It is possible to travel miles and miles, and nut be at a greater height than five to ten feet above ground. Hence anything going wrong with the machinery makes it as easy to glide down easily to the ground, as would be the drop ping of a hoisted umbrella. A WILD BLIZZARD RAQINQ. brings danger, suffering-ften death to thousands, who take colds, coughs and lagrippe that terror of Winter and Spring. Its danger signals are "stuffed up" nostrils, lower part of nose sore, chills and fever, pain in back of head, and a throat-gripping cough. When Grip attacks, as you value your life, don't delay getting Dr. King's New Discov ery. "One bottle cured me, writes A. L. Dunn, of Pine Val ley, Miss., "after being 'laid up' three weeks with grip." For sore lungs, hemorrhages, coughs, colds, whooping cough, bronchi tis, asthma, it's supreme. 50c. 1 00.
