The apple measures 14 inches in circumference and weighs over a pound. M. J.

Berkey, Esq. is on the ground supervising the finishing touch- es, and the light will soon be turned on, probably to-night.— Berlin Record. An old countryman came into a small town in Arkansas, a week or so ago. He lived in the woods, and his last visit. to town had been made at the close of the civil war. The little country place was then full of soldiers, and now, after thirty years, the first thing the old man saw was a company of militia march- ing to the depot on their way to the enzampment. He looked in amaze- ment and muttered audibly: ‘By gosh, them durn liars told me Lee had surrendered. an’ here’s that drated war still a-going on!” One of the latest swindling tricks is operated by two men, one of rustic ap- pearance and the other stylishly dress- ed. The rustic goes into a hotel and inquires after the other fellow, saying that he loaned him $50 a few days ago and was to meet him at the hotel and get it back. The landlord laughs and plainly states that the fellow who bor- rowed the $50 is a swindler and will not turn up. The other fellow is confident that he will get his money back and bets the landlord $25 to that effect. In a short time the well dressed man calls | for the rustic, pays him the $50 and, | pocketing the landlord’s $25, the pair of strangers disappeunr.

Royal Reception of Company I at Somerset. For Last Sunday and Monday were great days at Somerset, owing to the return of Co. I, 6th Regt., who are now at home on a 30-day furlough. When it was wired to Somerset that the boys would arrive there on Sunday, the news spread rapidly to all parts of the county,and immediately there was a grand rush for the County-seat. IFath- ers, mothers, brothers and sisters of | the soldiers, together with hundreds of citizens from all over the county went there to greet the boys and welcome | y them home. The company arrived there about 6.30, Sunday evening, and amid cheers, and the music of the best bands of the county, the boys were escorted to the hotels, where excellent suppers await- ed them. The rest of the evening was spent principally in hand-shaking and congratulations. On Monday morning the company assembled at the Court house, where an excellent exhibition drill was given under command of Lieutenant Frank Hoblitzell, Captain Kooser having been left at Lexington, Ky., where he is sick in a hospital. The boys showed that they had not been slow in learning drill tactics, for old soldiers who were there pronounce them a thoroughly well drilled company. After receiving their furloughs the boys left Somerset for their respective homes, where they were again throng- ed by admiring friends who were wait- ing to greet them. The Salisbury soldiers were brought up from DMeyersdale by people who went there with carriages for that pur- pose, and our excellent cornet band escorted them into town, where they were cheered to the echo. So great was the enthusiasm that a public sale billed by the editor to take place on Monday afternoon had to be abandon- ed; but he is not kicking a bit, for he wanted to be with the soldier boys too. Some of the boys look just as weil as they enlisted, while others, we to say, look as though they had been in Spanish prisons. All agree that they were badly treated at Chicka- mauga, but not by their regimental | and company officers, for whom they have only words of praise. We know our boys, and we know them to be truthful, and they can tell you of things they saw at Chickamau- ga that are almost too horrible tor pub- lication. When men who are not de:dd are taken to the dead house, when bread for the soldiers, horse manure and dead mules are all hauled in the same wagon, there is something radi- cally wrong; yet just such things our boys saw, and they think a proper in- vestigation will unearth some crimes for which severe punishment should be meted out, as our government does not sanction such mismanagement and cruelty. The boys also..roundly condemn-the Red Cross people and declare that they are humbugs of the first water. They say they want no Red Cross treatment in theirs. : Our soldiers are enjoying their vaca- tion and expect to be mustered out soon.
