The first wagon with spoke wheels
was taken into Penns valley, the
Centre Hall Reporter says, :nV
eighty-five years ago, before the
turnpike or any other road enteral
the valley, and was owned by Sam
uel Houston. Ii was transported
from LcwistowUi in parts, on mule
back, over the Seven mountains
Indian paths. Being a great im
provement upon the clumsy plank
wheel wagons ol that day, it was a
great curiosity to the "natives."
i Many came miles to see it ; lulling
it the "stick wagon" on account of
the Spokes in the wheels. It was a
heavy four horse wagon and fifteen
years ago was taken to a blacksmith
shop for repairs.
Accident at the Limekilns.
Saturday John Stetler, Sr., drove
his horse bitched in a truck wagon
down to the limekilns Ixdow town to
bring a load of lime for 1). A. Kern.
He secured his lime at the third
kiln and was ready to start tor home
and the horse which was blind got
out over road and went down
the steep emlmnkment for about
100 feet. ,Mr. Stetler escaped with
a few scars and the horse was fullv
as fortunate. The box was dropped
from the wagon when half way
down the precipice, and the wagon
was considerably damaged. It is a
miracle to know how the horse and
Mr. Stetler got down the steep in
cline without killing both of them.
