Every farmer is now busy as ho
can be in getting his work done on
the farm. In this section ho has
been greatly retarded in his work
by tho lute spring and tho wet
weather. Having had no rain for

advantago of tho opportunity aud
is putting out tho crop of corn and
oats in a hurry. Tho crop of wheat
is looking fair and if nothing unfor

tho average
Tho old faith that when copious
rain-falls occur in tho spring of
year and tiro repeated with frequence
as has been tho case since the clouo
of tho winter of 1802-lM, tho follow
ing summer will logically bo dry,
parching tho carC and necessarily
retarding tno n un, gram, vegoiaoio

that tho fttmosphero only contains a
certain amount of moisture, which,
if abstracted in largo quantities in a
brief period, will amount to a loss
of such elements in tho longer pen

MIDDLEBTJEGH, SNYDER
Deserts His Wife and Child.
The Lowisburg Sutunhii Newt of
ast week says that Dr. Eyer Walter,
proprietor of tho drug storo in Har
rison's block, Lowisburg, clopod
with tho 21-year-old daughter of a
Selinsgrovo hotel keeper, and the
lesertion of his faithful wifo and
bright young daughter, created a
profound sensation when tho report
caked out early in the week. In or-
ler that tho real facts in tho
aso might bo learned, a .Xt irs repre
sentative called on tho dosertod
wife, and sho very freely gave all the
information asked for, seeming anx
ious that a true statement bo mado
public.
On Monday evening, May 1st, tho
Dr. tlrovo to Selinngrove and return-
tM to ijcwisinirg tiDout mntiugiii
with tho young lady who seems to
have so completely conquered him
whiln ho boarded at her father's
hotel, whilo keeping a general store
in St liusgrove, before returning to
Lowisburg and re-opening his drug
store. Ho took tho girl to Milton,
then brought tho horse back to Low
isburg and had Wood Uiddlo drive
him to Milton again where tho run
aways took tho train for Philadel
phia. Uiddlo says Walter had about
il,00i) with him. Ho took no clothes
with him except his best which he
had put on iu tho afternoon. The
Dr. is about 40 nnd is a bright, clever
fellow, except when ho imbibes too
freely, which unfortunate habit is
doubtless tho causo of this lust
strango escapade.
His wifo is a daughter of Mr. Jacob
Sander's of New Berlin, and she hua
always deported hursolf in a manner
that should have mado her husband a
happy and contented man, whilo his
lC-year old daughter is bright and
pretty aud sweet enough to fill any
man's homo with sunshine. For
twenty years tho couple havo lived
together, but according to tho story
as related by Mrs. Walter, during
tho past five or six years her husband
has been a changed man, and she
looked for something of this kind
long ago. Her only fear seems to
have been that ho would desert her
and leave her penniless. But this
ho did not do. Ho left for her bone
fit a judgment note that will cover
his several properties in Lowisburg
and tho drug store, amounting iu nil
to from !:J,iM0 to .-,,01)0. Before
leaving tho Dr. drew his entire bal
anco ffoin tho Lowisburg banks
from tho Union National ;!,H00 aud
from tho Lowisburg National $1,230.
This, with somo collections he hud
made, started him oil' with ft stake
of about !?3,0'I0. Iu addition to tho
deeds for his Lowisburg property
Mrs. Walter is to have a small farm
iu Kansas. This will leave her coin
foitable. Sho told our represeutu
tive that she intended selling tho
drug store aud living quietly in
Lowisburg. Sho says sho does not
exnect hor husband to ever recurn.
Tho young lady in question is Miss
Alice Arbogust, daughter or Jon n
Arbogast, proprietor of the Farmer's
Hotel, helinsgrove.
