A Sight in a   Buffalo Hide.
A party or scouts from the stations
oa Bledsoe's creek, in Sumner county,
was over in Wilson on a tour of-observation for Indian signs, says the Portland Oregonian. As they prepared to
camp late one winter afternoon, Capt".
Jennings, who was one of the number,
started out to kill a buffalo from a herd
which was near by. There was a heavy
sleet ou the ground, and he found it
difficult to get a good range, on account of the noise of his feet on the
crackling ice, but after following the
game for several miles he at last killed
a. very large bull. Fearing that the
meat might he injured if left until the
next morning, he skinned the animal
and took out the viscera. By the time
he was done night had come, and he decided to remain with his meat instead
of seeking camp in the darkness. So,
"wrapping the huge hide around him,
flesh side out, he lay down and slept
very comfortably until morning. On
waking he found himself tightly imprisoned in the hide, which had frozen
hard and now resisted all his efforts to
escape. Hour after hour rolled by in
agony to the captain. He yelled at
the top of his voice for help and
strained and kicked with all his might
at the rawhide inelosure, but it proved
stubborn to the last degree. He doubtless swore many a bitter oath, for he
was of too irascible a temperament to
submit tamely." He expected his companions to search for him, and they
did, but with a-great deal of caution,
fearing that he had been killed by the
Indians. His prolonged absence could
be accounted for in no other way. He
gave up all hope of extricating himself
as the hours wore away, but help which
he had not thought of was to save him
from a death which would have been
extremely mortifying, at the least, to a
man who had escaped Indian bullets
and swam icy rivers like a beaver. We
will let him relate the issue in his own
wort*: "Well, the sun came out in
the afternoon, and this softened the
hide oi the top so I could get one arm
out, and when I got one arm out I
worked like piaen until I got my body
through."

that while townships are bound to provide reasonably safe bridges, under existing conditions, they are not liable

fact, ard »t was proper to take proper

Mrs. John Lutz who lives on South
Main street just  bsyond the toll' gate
attempted to polish up her stoves with
a mixture of stove-blacking and gasoline one day  last week.   She supposed
the fire had gone out in   the kitchen
stove but in this she was mistaken and
an   explosion   followed.   Mrs.  Miller
was quite badly burped about the arms
and neck. The results might have been
much worse had not a passing farmer
rushed to   her  assistance  and extinguished  the fire.—Register,

Last week when Theodore Hiseoek
was removing a straw stack from Benj.
S. Voorhees* farm, they uncovered a
precious lot of plunder which thieves
had evidently hidden there for future
use. There were among the other
things, a bar tender's apron, towels, a
blacking brush, a hair brush, two or
three plugs of tobacco, numerous cigars, and a ease of tools. Tho plunder
-was brought to our office aud was turned
over to Deputy Warner who said he
knew where they belonged. One of
the thieves, we understand, is now in
jail and the others may be there soon.

Aaulteratcd .Food in Franco.
France certainly knows how to protect the lesser rights of her people.
Any one who doubts the genuineness of
an article of food that he has purchased
from a Parisian tradesman may take it
to the municipal laboratory for analysis. It will cost him nothing to have
it analyzed and the fact determined
whether it is unadulterated or adulterated, and, if the latter, the law deals
with the offender without further action on the part of the purchaser. The
shopkeeper is deprived of the few civil
rights he is supposed to be otherwise
entitled to, and has to display conspicuously in his show window or on his
door for a year, a large .placard hearing
the words "Convicted of Adulteration."
A Narrow Escape
Thankful words written by Mrs. AdahE.
Hart, of Groton. S. D. "Was taken with a
bad cold which settled on niy lungs; cough
set in and "finally terminated in Consumption. Pom-Doctors gave me up, saying I
could live hut a short time. I gave my self
up to my Saviour, determined if I could
not- stay with my friends on earth, I would
meet the absent ones above. My husband
was advised to get Dr. King's New Dis-
coyrey for Consumption, Coughs and Colds
I gave it a trial, took m all eight bottles.
It has cured me, and I thank God I am
savedandnow a well and healthy woman."
