C. J. Fike opened lis sugar camp last Saturday. Taffy pullings will take the place of surprise parties, in this burg, for the present. One of Boynton’s citizens was placed in a dangerons position in this way: He heard a noise in the stable and he went to learn the ecanse of the disturbance. He entered the stable, the door of which was provided with a lock that would lock the door from the outside, and when the door closed it closed after him, mak- ing him a prisoner. A cow had taken possession of the stable and immediately guestioned his right there by opening fire on him with her heels. After con- siderable parley and occasional yells for help, his wife came to his gescue. He is none the worse, save for the hoof prints on his body. . W. N.

OF the one hundred and =% su- gar licenses taken out by residents of the Twenty-third Internal Revenue district in the spring of 1891, one hundred and fifty-six were procured by citizens of Somerset county.

Naugle has been appointed for the Meyersdale district, and will be stationed at’ Meyersdale. J. W. Landis will be stationed at Berlin and Franklin B. Bay- lor at Somerset. During the season any licensed producer wishing to dispose of any portion of his product will have to take it to one of the three above named officers who will weigh it. At the close of the season each licensed producor will be visited by one of the three deputy col- lectors who will weigh his sugar, assist him to fill out the necessary blanks, and will take a sample of his product, which will besent to alaboratory at Syracuse, New Yora, where it will be tested; and the amount of bounty the producer is entitled to, if any, will be decided upon.
