N. H. Peck, of Needmore,
spent part of last week visiting
in the home of his cousin a. w.
Peck in McConnellsburg. He is
nnt much struck on the kind of
grippe they have up in that old
town.
Bert Brant broke his tongue
(we mean his wagon tongue)
while hauling wood to town last
Tuesday on the west side of the
Ridze. But an experienced team
ster does not mind little things
like that in zero weather, and he
made a woodsman's repair and
finished the journey on time to
get a new tongue before leaving
town.
Our many readers who have

be pleased to hear that funds

The donor was Hon. John Gra

bv the terms of his will, his fine
residence and nearly $75,000 cash
were left for these purposes.

More About Deer Beads.
A former resident of the Coun
ty sends the following additional
comments on the "points" at is
sue among deer hunter3. We
are sorry that he forbids the use
of his name and address. The
letter follows: 'The man from
Carlisle knows what he is talking
about, and I think that a 13
prong would be some buck, since
it means that the deer had 13
prongs on one side and 14 on the
other, or 27 points. I think the
odd point might have been an
extra large projection which are
so common on, or near, the base
of the horn; or, it might have
been a freak of nature that some
times occurs. But if neither
should be the case, according to
our friend fromLashley, it would
"sure be some buck," and spells
tough eating; for, as he figures,
the animal was 27 years old when
killed, which looks like a pretty
old deer to be running at large.
Azain: did our friend fromLash
ley ever see a one-point deer? I
have, but one point had been
broken off. What would be the
answer if a hunter should say he
saw a 3-, 5-, 7-, 9-, or 11-point
buck? I venture that nine-tenths
of the deer killed in Pennsylva
nia had an even number of points
on a full head of horns. I know
of an 8-prong buck having been
killed on Sideling Hill this year,
and counting as our scribe from
Buck Valley, it would be a 16
point head-meaning that it was
16 years old, which sounds very
unreasonable for a section o
mountain on which said deer was
killed. Just imagine a deer liv
ing in Belfast township, among
so many hunters, for 16 years!

The most interesting and ex
citing basket ball game of the
season was played in the gym
nasiume on Friday evening be
tween Lebanon Valley College
and the Normal team. The Leb
anon Valley team outweighed the
Normal opponents by at least 25
bs. to the man, but the Normal
boys held their opponents in
check so effectively that at the
close of the game the score was
a tie 25-25. The five minutes
play-off was exciting, neither
side being able to score until
Barnhart won the game for Nor
mal by scoring a foul. Bar

game for a year, Virtually won
the game by scoring 8 points in
