About ten o'clock last Monday night, while employees of the Baker House, this place, were attending to the horses in the stable they found in one of the stalls lying upon straw tho remains of Isaac Hiles. The muu had been drinking early in the evening, and, it is said, had drank a lot of alcohol ami cider mixed. It made him insanely drunk and in this condition he was taken by somo of his friends to the s able and placed in the stall, a place where he had frequently slept. When fouud the remains were yet warm. Dr. T. C. Thornton was brought at once, but he pronounced till life gone. The deceased was about 40 years of age, Coroner, Dr. G. G.

Snyder, Esq., of Sehnsgrove, Pa. I was injurci by a fall which disabled me from doing manual labor. I notified Mr Snyder of my accident, and he at once came, adjusted and paid th claim. Mr. Snyder deserves much credit for the CompnuicM he repn sents in accident, life and tire. What he tells you pertaining to insurant'! is reliable. His past record shows for itself, and his companies have the confidence in having him adjust and pay the losses at his agency. Any person in need of any kind of insurance will do well by giving Mr Snyder n. trial before securing insur ance elsewhere, Yours respectfully, A. C. Fiku.s. Globe Mills, St-pt.

Peach Growers. it'NIATA PAIIMKIIS TO AllAMIioN OH Aft AND BAISK rill'IT. Ail article in the Philadelphia lit conl says : "About seven years ago Smith brot hers, John K. Jami son and a few others were pioneers in the peach business in thisscction, and were thought to be "cranks" on the subject. Today as the iKlu waro regcon is being denned of it orchards by disease and ours are flourished-neither fruit nor tree affected they are looked upon as benefactors. Within a small radius here there are not fewer than "JiNl, . 000 trees, many of them bearing, and the fruit is being shipped bv the carload to all points of the compass. Such fruit, too, it is doubted if Del aware ever raised iu its palmiest days. It is large, nicely shaped finely flavored, firm iu flesh and and handsomely blushed, all of which makes a fruit every way at tractive and valuable. A dealer said today : "Juniata pouches now stand at the head of the market." Large orchards are being planted every fall and spring, and soon our farmers will abandon the culture of cereals altogether, except along the river and streams. The miiltiiIui- thiug about the business is that the land best adapted for the growing of peaches has hitherto been con sidered of least value, in fact, much of it was left iu common until its adaptability was discovered. Hun dreds of ucres of it, two or three years ago could have been bought for a trill e. It bus advanced in prioe, of course, but, can be bought , for from f 10 to $20 an acre, owing to the location and nearness to ship ping point. Many parties are here now buying the fruit as well as look ing for lands to purchase. Signs of a Hard Winter. "We are going to have an eailv full and it long, cold, hind winter.'' remurked a farmer on Saturday. "How do you limine that out" he Wus asked. "In the lirst place," the farmer re plied, "just try the skin of your fruit, i ou w ill find your annlcs and peaches and grapes, and all your fruit, for that matter, which is home grown, with a thicker and tougher skin than you have seen for several years. This is one of the indications. That is the way nature takes care of her products. Lust winter apples and other fruits were so thin-skinned and tender that it is hard to gather them without bruising them, if you will remember, and we had a mild winter. Corn is another of nature's siiru boards. The ears this vear are nro tected by thickerand stronger husks than I have ever seen before for years, und talking with farmers from different parts of the country I find it tho same way. Wheat and rye straw are much tougher, buy i wilier uud seed pods uro better nro tected than usuul. These nre ull old farmer's signs, and they are good ones, because they don't come from any moon-planting superstitions, but from actual observation year after yeur by a class of men whoso inter ests he in keeping close watch on all of nature's moods. Then another sign of a hard winter is the heavv crop of corn or wheat. You can just put it down that whenever there is an unusually heavy grain crop there is going to be a hard winter." MAHB1ED.
