Cow Buried in Cavin.
G. M. Henry, who resides near Sol
dier, keeps five cows and one of them
mystorlously disappeared from the field
last Thursday afternoon. Mr. Henry
saw all the cows lying under a tree
Thursday noon, but only four cows
could be found in the evening. Friday
morning Mr. Henry started out in
search of the cow and he found tracks
which he followed to a point between
two trees, from ten to twelve feet apart,
and there he lost the cow tracks and
the roots of the trees looked as if fresh
ground had been taken off them. Mr.
Henry passed on without thinking much
about the appearance of the fresh
ground, but be could not find cow tracks
beyond that point. He returnod to the
point between the trees and by digging
some dirt away and making careful ex
amination discovered that there was a
cavin between the trees and that his
cow was In there. The roots of the two
trees had hold up the top earth so that
there was no sign of a cavin, but whep
the cow walked over it the roots gave
way and she fell into pit and the root
sprung back to place and the cow was
buried alive. The earth had opened
and swallowed her. Had it not been
that Mr. Henry followed the cow tracks
to that point and could not find tracks
beyond there the cow would have
starved to death and no one would have
known what become of her. An open
ing was dug on level with the cavin and
the cow walked out about noon hungry
and thirsty but apparently none the
worse for her strange experience.

DEATH OF AN OLD CITIZEN.
Passes Peacefully Away at the Age of
Nearly 71 Years.
Ludwlg Priester, of Henderson town
ship, Jefferson county, died at hiB homo
Tuesday, July 25th, 1905. He was born
in Herzog Nassau, Germany, January
18th, 1834, and his age was 71 years, 6
months and 7 days.
He was united In the bonds of wed
lock March 13th, 1802, to Elizabeth
Hoop, of Covode, Indiana county. To
this union nine children were born, five
of whom are living. They are Emma
C, wife of D. J. Pifer, Big Run, Pa. ;
Ida C, wife of P. S. Hawk, Reynolds
ville, Pa. , Jacob P., residing on a farm
near Eleanora ; Henry, following the
drilling business, and Mary, at home.
Eight grandchildren succeed him. The
surviving children are all grown up and
good useful citizens.
Mr. Priester came from Germany
when about eighteen years of age, and
a few years after settled on the land he
has since occupied.
He was a self-made man and gave a
convincing rebuke to the believers In
"luck." He went about his work with
a set purpose and a firm will making
obstacles to move that at times seemed
insurmountable. He was of that honest,
hard working German extraction, and
early In life erased the word "fail" from
bis career ; his purpose in life was not
to live for self alone, but was always
ready and willing to lend a helping
band to his friends and neighbors when
In need. His examples for honesty and
fair dealing were of tho highest order
and were always exemplified in all his
transactions. Ho was a life long mem
bur of the German Reform Cburch, In
which he was a consistent member and
a good christian, and every act of bis
was characterized by meekness, courago
and generosity.
His death was due to a paralytic
stroke which he survived only three
days, and up to this time was active
and attended to his usual affairs and
was always strong and robust.
He was rational and conversed to .the
last hour of his demise, passing away
quietly, peacefully and happy, resign
ing bimsolf In the care of "Him who
doeth all things well" and fully pre
pared to accept the final message.
What a beautiful contemplation over
a useful life well spent, the wisdom and
reveronce of age, the eternal and
glorious beyond may well inspire tho
best efforts of man to attain. A char-
actor that cherishes no wrong, but is
ever open, free and out spoken, a lover
of God and country, of kin and friends ;
knowing that the world is bettor for
them having lived in it.
Mr. Priester, with the aid of his
family, gained a nice competence and
fully enjoyed life and its environments
and all his duties were sacredly
obsorvod.
The sturdy family to which he be
longed all passed away at a ripe old age,
with the exception of one sister who
survives him at the age of sixty-seven
years. Sykesvillo rout-Dispatch.

The Farmer.
City people often make sport of
farmers, and some of the more brainless
and supercillious ones regard them as
inferior beings. But the fact remains
that when corruptionlsts and political
pirates are ruling the cities and their
inhabitants are weakly holding up tbetr
hands while their pockets are being
rifled and their morals corrupted, the
agriculturist maintains his independ
ence and his integrity. Save in a few
unfortunate instances he is not to be
bribed or intimidated. He has no
mentor but his own conscience, and the
state and nation may rely upon him to
uphold its honor and its credit. The
sturdy farmers constitute the brake
and the balance wheel which prevents
the engine of republican government
from tearing itself to pieces from its
own impetus. They are the ballast of
the ship of state which keeps it from
being overturned by the waves of
avarice and selfishness which dash
against it. Punxsutawney Spirit.
