Bull Dog Tied Under Wagon. Goorge Burtop, the genial farmor and lumberman who resides near Aliens Mills, bad a thrilling and hair raising expurionco last Friday morning. Goorge is hauling his hardwood lumber to J. V. Young's planing mill In Reynoldsvllle, and his team can haul almost twice as much from Britten's old cross road to Roynoldsvillo as it can from Burtop's to cross roads, therefore George has been making double trips to cross roads. Thursday evening he hauled a load to cross roads and loft bis wagon thore and when he returned to cross roads Friday morning at six o'clock to haul a loud to town ho was astonished and frigh toned to see a large ferocious looking bull'dog tied undor bis wagon. " Mad dog I" was the first thought tbat flashed through Goorgo's cranium. He wanted to hitch bis team to wagon, get bulanuo of load on and start for town, but ho was afraid of the canine, and what to do puzzled him. After a little loud deliberation, at a safe distance from wagon, Georgo finally . got his courage coaxed up sufficient to make a bravo attempt to got the dog untied, so ho approached tho wagon cautiously, all tho tlmo keeping a wagon wheol be tween himself and dog, and bo reached In between the spokes and pulled the dog up close enough to untie it, but con trary to George's anticipation tbo dog did not try to "oat him alive," but walked to one side of road and laid down as contented as if on bis master's front yard. George says: "I don't thank anybody for tying bull dogs undor my wagon to watch my lumber." Circus To-day.

A reunion of the descendants of John Deemer, deceased, an old settler ot Paradise Sottlcmcnt, was hold In tbe grove at McCrolght school house, on the lino of the old Doemer homestead, last Thursday, September 4, 1002. Tho rain early in the morning and the heavy clouds for several hours, no doubt, kept quite a number of people at home who had Intended attending tbo reunion, but notwithstanding this fact, about three hundred poople attended the reunion and all seemed to have a very pleasant time. Tbo day turned out to bo pleas ant but a little cool in tho shade. There were ninety-throe Doomors, andatloast that many half Doomors, at the reunion. Everybody carried well filled baskets to reunion and at dinner time the tables that had been built specially for the occasion fairly groaned with an abun dance of good things. Some of the people did tbe groaning after dinner. Tho editor of The Star had the pleas ure of assisting Amos Deemer and his good wlfo dispose of some of the good things that had been carried in their baskets. Lewis Ludwick, who was acquainted with John Deemer, and was a chum of bis sons, who is accustomed to making public speeches, mado an address in the forenoon, giving short history of John Deomor and his fnmlly. In bis remarks Mr. Ludwick said: "Tbo Deemer were usoful neighbors, always ready to help anybody tbat needed help. Old Mr. Doemer was quite a genius and was a very useful man in tho neighborhood. He started the first blacksmith shop and carpenter shop In tbo community, and ho could make and repair anything In the lino of farming implements. He mado cradles, rakes, shovel plows and barrows, and could make sugur augurs, something some of tho skilled black smiths of to-day cannot do. He was also a shoemaker." During the aftorooon, Rev. W. Seiner, Luthoran preacher of Luthersburg, who is a good talker, delivered an address. Rudolph brothers, of Wlsbaw, with ' guitar and mandolin, furnished some music. A small platform had been built undor the tall trcos and an organ placed on it and some of the young peoplo sung a number of solectlons. John Deomor moved from Westmore land county, Pa., to Paradise In 1831, 71 years ago. His wife died in 1868 and he departed this life In 1874. This couple were the parents of four sons and two daughters, the sons and one daughter are still living and are as follows: Mrs. Jullanna Boat, 75 years old, of near Hopkins ; Zacarlab Doemer, of Doemer's Cross Roads, and Joslah Deemer, of Sykesvlllo, twins, 73 years old ; Jono tban Doemer, of Sykesvllle, 70 years old, who Is supposed to be tbe oldost man living that was born In Winslow township. John J. Doomer, 60 years old ; lives on tho old homestead. Mr. Deemer was a staunch Democrat, and tbe first hickory pole raised in this section was raised near bis shop in 1852, when Franklin Pierce was elected pres ident of tho United States. Tbe feeling was so bitter between the political parties at tbat time tbat the Democrats were afraid the pole would be cut down and to prevent this they drove the pole full of horse shoe stubs from ground up up as high as they could reach; When Mr. Deemer moved Into Para dise Settlement roads were unknown in that section, only paths through the wlldorness. Wild animals were common those days. Every night wolves were beard howling around. A bear came near tho house one day and caught a' pig and before tho bear was driven away by tbe dog it crippled the pig so badly tbat It had to bo killed. The four brothers, whose hair be tokens tbe frosts, of many winters, were at the reunion and bad their pictures taken. Mrs. Best was not able to attend tbe reunion. When "Old Sol" was going down towards the western hills the Deemers and their friends departed to their re Bpeotlve homes feeling that they bad spent a delightful day together. Rathmel.
