In a neighboring town last week a little girl on her way home from school, picked up a piece of lime from the sidewalk and thinking it. was chalk placed itin her mouth.

A serious accident nceurred at the hard- wood factory on Tuesday. Mr. Peter A.

It is said that Al Kidner and Irv Hay were out hunting, some time ago, and that each of them fired/at a large turkey that was sitting on a rail fence. but missed every time. At last they found out that it was'a tame fowl, and they sneaked away, glad that they missed it, but ashamed of their poor shooting. © It does beat the mischief that some fellows can’t hit a turkey when it sits on the fence, quietly, and allows itself ‘to be shot at time after time. The Postmaster General has decided to issue what will be known as the Colum- bian series of postage stamps.

Livengood’ 8 old dog “Piper” lost his life, recently, while out ’coon hunting... One of the fellows who was out with “eld Johnny” ‘that | night says that there were three pounds of crackers, 8 boxes of sardines, one can of salmon, about 50 tobies and a whele quart of 40-rod whisky i in the crowd. As | we have said before, it's no wonder that old “Piper” was killed; in fact it’s strange that old “Tige” got back alive. John will doubtless refuse to hunt, hereafter, if the fellows who go with him insist. on carrying whisky with them. : We had the pleasure on Sunday eve- ning of having a chat with our old and respected friend. Hon. B. Welfley, who is a veritable storehonse of knowledge, especially concerning the early history of Salisbury and Blk Lick. . He told us many interesting things concerning tlie oid plo- ‘neers, which we enjoved very much, and we can assure: him that the readers of THE STAR would greatly appreciate an occasional article from his able pen. Mr. ‘Welfley's father was the first postmaster of Elk Lick. and his holding said office exempted him fromthe war of 1812.

Big Fight in Meyersdale. Y There was a big fight in Meyersdale, last Saturday night, in which, Charles Crossen, of West Salisbury, came very near being killed by Peter Albright, Meyersdale’s policeman, and several other citizens of that town. A good many people from here saw the fight and all say that Crossen was in no way to blame for the trouble. Albright ‘and several others have been arrested for assault and battery with intent ‘to kill, Mr. Crossen informs us, and if all reports are trie, it it will be apt to go hard with them. Of course there are always two sides to a question, but all the reports we have vet beard coneerning this matter, are to the effect that Albright had a spite against Crossen and started the whole trouble. If this is correct, he should be severely punished. .
