just shot three wild turkeys and he said
there were several more that he ought to
have got. The farmer then bunted
them up and found what was left of his

had been shot for wild ones. Now she
wants the hunter to pay for the thwe

Jimmy Flynn's Horse. This horBe ob
jects to having a store box put into a
buggy, and so when Jimmy put one into
his buggy on Thursday evening, the
animal forcibly expressed his objections
by kicking till he knocked the box ou
and then ran away. When near Bar
nett's mill he lost the road, and went
over the stone wall doubling himself up
badly, and making the vehicle look like
a pile of kindling wood. Mr. Flynn
escaped with a few ugly bruises, which,
considering the fall he had was a remark
able escape.
Another Swindle. Some people will
never learn what a great risk they are
running in signing papers for strangers,
especially without reading it over or
carefully examining it. The following,
we clip from the Waynesboro Gazette, is
given to our reader as about the ninety
ninth warning, but still we would not
be surprised to hear of the same swindle
being perpetrated upon some of our citi
zens before our next issue : " A barefac
ed swindle was perpetrated on Mr. Wm.
Wiles, near this place, a short time ago.
We have been unable to get the full par
ticulars, but from what we have heard
the following are about the facts in the
case. Several weeks ago a couple of men
stopped at Mr. Wiles' and asked him to
take the agency for a patent Wind En
gine and asked the privilege of erecting
one on his premises as a sample. Mr. W.
agreed to take the agency and had the
Engine put up with the understanding
that it was only as a specimen of the
article and be would not be required to
pay for it. In the course of the business
constituting him agent It was necessary,
they told him, to sign several papers,
which were articles of agreement. This
he did and in a short time the Engine
came on and was put up. Several weeks
afterward Mr. W. received notice from
the Hagerstown bank, we think,, that
they held a note against him for a sum
of money which he would oblige them
by lifting, how much we are unable to
state. It now turns out that what Mr.
Wiles thought were articles of agreement
that he was signing were notes. What
the result will be we must patiently
wait to see.
Juniata County. We copy the follow
ing from the Juniata county papers of
last week :

'On Wednesday of last week a fodder
stuck belonging to Mr. John Thompson,
on his farm In Spruce Hill township,

papers of last week :
From Via Ntwville Enterprttt.
A serious accident befell our towns,
man aud traveling salesman, Mr. J. H.
ltllntt. whrt wan married on ThnrHflnv
I luut, leaving on the evening train for a
i trip through some of the Southern
states, stopping all night at Hogues-
town. uu .rriuuy morning ue siurieu
on his journey over the Shenandoah
Valley It. It., and when at Shepherds,
town, Va., he went forward in tbe
car to see the brakesman, and, while
standing along side the stove the gna
exploded the stove, throwing the steam
and dirt into Mr. Elliott's face knock
ling him to the floor aud burning hlin
severely on the face and neck. Mr.
.Elliott was ta'iten in charge s.nrl a
telegram sent to his parents Rt this place,
notifying them of his return to Newville,
on the afternoon train. On arriving at
this place he wns conveyed to the rest
dence of Mrs. Skinner, where he Is un
der medical treatment, and Is improv.
Ing slowly and satisfactorily to all bis
friends.
From I'Ae Valley Sentinel)
Mr. Ilellbrenncr, the rag merchant,
while driving on the pike Tuesday fell
oft the load of rags and broke his arm
between the wrist and elbow. He was
brought to town by Mr. John Wetzel,
and taken to Dr. Hemminger's oillce
where the fracture was reduced.
One night recently, Mr. W. W. Gut
shall, of near Carlisle Springs, hearing
the door of his corn crib slapping (as he
supposed by the wind), left his warm
bed and hurried to the crib. After fast
ening it securely, he returned to the
house, thinking no more of the occur
rence. How surprised he was the next
i morning you may imagine, when he
Vound that a thief had been pilfering his
(Yib, and that he had actually shut the
fellow In. Of course the thief made good
his escape during the night.
A Farmer's Opinion.
. Mn. Editor 1 noticed what you said last
week about paying road tax la money, and let
ting tbe enpervlsor hire bis men. I would be
In favor or this, and believe as you say, that
we will not have good roads till that way Is
mado a law. I am sure we would have better
roads, and I have no doubt that our taxes
would be less than they are now. I, for one,
would like to tee this plan tried. Let us hear
eotno others Ideas on this subject.
