Mangled Under A Wagon.
Yesterday afternoon as Maluigb
ton Walter, residing 3) miles nortli
west of Middleburgb, was hauling a
load of ties, he fell under the wagon
and both wheels passed over him
from the hips to the shoulders. He
cannot live. He was aged about 22
years, and leaves a wife and child.
The Bright Side.
It is a singular fact that, with the
exception of wheat, all farm pro
ducts bring the same prices as be
fore the war. Oats then, by tho bag
of 3 bushels brought $1 ; now it is
about tho same and often higher.
Corn sold for 40 cents out of the
field and is still the same. Potatoes
sold at 25 to 50 conts, while now
they bring from 2 to 00 conts. Pork
and boef soil for the same as before
the war. Poultry, butter aud eggs
bring better prices now than form
erly. Apples, which at one time
were hardly saleable now bring good
prices.
Al agricultural implements cost
only half what thev once did. Gro
ceries and dry goods Bell for (one
third to one-half less than in form
er years. Land can be purchased
for one half what it cost some years
ago. This is true so far as concerns
Centre county and tho rest of the
state, and it is a bright rather than
a gloomy view to take of the situa
tion. ' "
Those who. pajd, nigh prices, for
land years' ago, get the prices for
their products, now yet, that pre
vailed at that time, whoat only hav
ing fallen in tho past two years.
Those who buy farms now, get them
very low and have benefit of old
prices for their products and should
find farming quito profitable at half
price for land, implements, store
goods, etc.
Now is a safe time to invest in
farmiug lauds, as real cstato has
reached its lowest ebb, and ten years
hence will find it enhanced in value
from 10 to 20 per cent. ( ntre Hull

Ju dgo John II. Orvis died Tof
hemorrhage of tho bowels at his

Warning to the Farmers.
If any farmer in this section has
procured samples of grain from tho
World's Fair agricultural building,
he will do well to burn it forthwith.
It is stated that the discovery has
been made that the whole exhibit
has boon attacked by tho weevil, a
peuttyhose larva is a worm that bur
rows in the kernel of tho grain, and
has dono enormous damage to the
cr?Piu South-western Russia and
iu Atec-R tout, Aiour v .
brought to the World's Fair. 'iu 4s'
stated that thousands of samples of
grain have boon carried away from
the agricultural building, and there
is scarcely a corner of tho United
States where the pest has not been
carried.
One Screamed and Ono Didn't.
Two young married men in the
Salem excursion to Newport last
week played a rather sweet joke on
their wives. Beforo entering the
long tuunel ut Elk City each win sit
ting with tho other's wife. They
agreed to exchange seats in tho long
tunnel and each kiss his own wife.
Well, they did as agreed. Ono of
tho young women screamod terribly
and attracted tho attention of
tho whole car, aud all had a
hearty laugh at her expense
when the light broke in upon her,
resisting fiercely and in her hus
buud's arms. Tho other ono kept
perfectly still, and she and lu-r hus
band had a good laugh on each other
when the light broko on them. She
said she did not know but what it
was her husband aud did not want
to give it away if it was uot. Stlem
Jtemocrat.
A Warning to Tenants.
A non-suit, entered in tho Mont
gomery county court in a cuso where
tho parents of a child, killod by fall
ing into a well, sued tho landlord
for damages, should admonish ten
ants to read tho terms of tho leases
they may sign. On tho premisos
rented by the plaintiff thoro was a
well with a rotten board covering.
Tho tenants notified tho agent of
tho property, and ho promised to
have repairs made, but neglected to
do so. Tho owner was then notifiod,
und ho also promised repairs, but
did not make them. Soon after
wards a child of tho tenant playing
on tho well cover broko through and
was killod. That looked liko a good
caso for damages, but tho luaso of
tho premisos did not contain tho us
ual covenant requiring tho landlord
to keep the property in good repair,
and the court therefore ordered a
UOU-buit.
Whon a woman takes particular
pains in putting on her clothes, it is
evident Bhe intends making a call on
a woman she doesn't like very well.
Ye Editor.
My dear reader have you ever,
stopped to think when you are criti
cizing the editor that he is a man in
some instanco like other people, no
usually tries to do his best, yet his
ways may not be your ways. Ho
respects his frionds.approciatoa your
kindness and a good word. You
have always found him ready to re
turn a favor, oftentimes roturuiug
good for evil. He will not always
continue to pat a man on tho back
and proclaim what a good and prom
inent citizen ho is, how much he has
done for the people about him. Ho
does not feel like pulling a mau who
is snarling and biting at his paper
every chance he gots. You will al
ways see him stand by a man who
stands by him. You will see the man
who always hangs back aud never
makes a start for himself kick when
tho editor, in the good-fellowship
fooling, puffs souio fellow who has
boon working for tho good of tho
pooplo around about him. Have you
ever thought what a rumpus there
would bo if tho paper should always
contain the feelings of tho editor, or
if ho should criticiso as ho iscriticis
od. A newspaper man is a little
different from other men s his busi
ness makes him so. He makes it
his study to say all the good thiugs
ho cau about those around him and
to say as few of tho bad things us ho
can. If you don't get the puffs you
think you should have, como iu und
tell tho editor about it, and you will
find him ever willing to proclaim to
the world your good deeds if they
are worthy of it. Don't stand baok
rta-n Viii kkimJ
rmmt rt wuiil, a'mcau cuss he is. You
may want his help sometime or you
may die and then what an olitmi.-..
ho might write.

Dog Tax.
Under a recent act of assembly
assessors are to return the dogs
found in their district, and the coun
ty commissioners shall fix the rate
of tax. The tax will be collected by
the collectors of county tax and paid
into tho county fund. Damages for
sheep killed by dogs shall be paid
out of tho county treasury, aud as
we understand it tho tax rato need
only be high enough to cover the
damages to sheep by dogs and will
bo much loss than under tho old
law. This is no more than right,
for we never could understand the
justice of taxing out of existance
