Savage rats attacked a pig belonging
to Henry Karns recently. Mr. Karns
heard his porker squealing and went
to the pen to investigate. He found
the pig down on the floor of the pen
literally covered with rats that were
squealing, fighting and tearing skin
and flesh from the head and under
portions of.tl'.. animal's body. Tho
pig had ii, till U gallaut struggle, and
several rJlU'lUy dei.d around the pen,
while a number had boon crushod by
his weight. Mr. Karns, with the
handle of a flail, attempted to beat
the rats away, but they were savage
from hunger and the taste of blood
and attacked him so savagely that
he was forced to leave the pig to his
fate. After securing and loading
his gun he returned to the pen, but
the rats had disappeared and tho
pig was dying. They had eaton the
flesh from the soft portions of the
porker's body.
J. B. Lewis Co., Boston are now
making extensive alterations in their
factory at Avon, Mass., so that they
can take care of their largely increas
ed business. Last season they were
obliged to decline some orders in
justice to their customers. This
speaks very loudly the praises of
this concern, and while other mauu
factories were closed, they were
running overtime. The Boot and
Shoe Reporting Co.'s statistics show
this firm to be doing the largest
volume of business of any manufac
turer selling to the retail trade from
Boston, which is the heart of the
boot and shoe industry of the
country. This means, in these days
of competition, that up to date
styles,courteous treatment.and pric
es lower than others care to offer,
make success.

Meets Death by Accident.
THAT PRIZE
On tho evening of Dec. 19t h Cyrus,
tho IN year old son of Jacob Long
acre, deceased, met with an accident
that cost his life. The young man
started away from his home near
Yerddla riding a colt. About three
hours later the colt returned with
out the rider. These developments
caused diligent search to bo made
and tho young man was found lying
by the roadside in an unconscious
coudition. He was badly bruised
and injured from tho effects of which
ho died a few hours after he was
found. Tho deceased was buried at
Keiser's church on Monday, Dec.
21th aud a host of friends paid their
tribute of respect to the departed
one by following tho remains to tho
cemetery. The father of tho unfor
tunate muu died hist September
thus bringing a double affliction up
on Mrs.Lougucro who has the loving
sympathy of her many friends.
The following wo clip from the
Clovelaud Loador of Dec. 2:rd. The
Mrs. Hebebraud is a sister of Geo.
B. M. Arnold of Adamsburg. both
representatives of a family who re
sided in Middleburgh for 27 years.
Mrs. Hildebraud is one of the most
talented lady artists of the land and
Middleburg is proud to own such a
skilled hand : One of the prettiest
exhibitions of cemaric art that have
been given in this city was held Tues
day and Wednesday at the residence
of Mrs. H. L. Hebebrand, 105 Ken
sington avenue. The 1100 pieces
shown were contributed by Mrs.
Robert F. Hackenzie and the follow
ing members of her class : Mrs. II.
L. Hebebraud, Mrs. Charles Par
sons, Mrs. J. Josepi, Mrs. n. F.
McFarland, Miss Margaret S. Kling,
Mrs. George Butner, Mrs. Robert
Pate, Mrs. Maurice B. Purtevaut,
Mrs. Tony Deisner, Mrs. William
Orr, Misses Josio Little, Ida Rad

It is gratifying to us to learn that
our scholarship prize is meeting with
universal favor. There is scarcely a
person iu Snyder County who lias
not heard of this great offer. A
number of teachers and their friends
are actively engaged in securing
coupons from the Post. The renders
of this paper are a favored class and
their friendship is eagerly sought
because in their hands lies the power
to award the scholarship at the
Bloomsburg State Normal School of
fered by the editor of tho Poht. Nev
er before has such a privilege been
given to the readers of any County
newspaper in Central Pennsylvania
aud wo kpow that tho intelligence of
our readers will direct the votes in
the proper channel. Iu fact, wo do
not know of a teacher in the county
who is cot worthy of receiving such
n handsome present, but only one
can bo successfull.
Wo have been asked whether we
will print aud sell extra copies of
tho Post during the continuance of
this contest. We will answer once
for all that we will furnish but one
copy of the Post to each subscriber
the same as before. Wo Mill not
give or ell any copies of the Post
in job lots for the following reasons:
First, because thn contest then
woul4 ; Ur!fr up" he ability or
wilhjgnesB xl person f o ;sr9
ex. ra copies audit miht not keep
the rich and pour on an equality in
the contest.
Second, because it would defeat
our purpose to get yi in ly subscrib
ers. Wo desire to place a premium
upon industry and we lclteve the
decision above made is a step in that
direction.
Third, when the coupons from the
regular subscribers are used the
contest will become what we want it
to be it contest for new subscribers.
The interest awakened in tho Post
Popular Teacher Prize wus like an
electrical phenomenon tho news
spreading like wild the into every
home in Snyder County. The con
testants appeared and lines were
drawn in favor of one or another of
tho contestants iu a very short time.
