- JviiY 20-—Affairs about Penmar have
for the last few days so kept the even
tenor of their way, that if it had .not been
for the following little ruse of the goddesses, there would have been a season
of monotony and some flatness, even on
the hillsides:
It appears that the amiable Ceres had
just arrived at the habitation of the immortals from the region of golden grain
over which she presides, She was dressed
in a short tunic, and wore her golden
girdle and '"white samite" cap, and in her
sun-browned hand she carried a .sickle
and a tuft of ripe wheat. She ■was-warmly
welcomed by all the goddesses and especially by the cheerful Erato, to whom tbe
amiable Ceres thus spoke:
"As I crossed over the valley yonder,
near to a spot which is named the 'Land
of Beauteous Flowers and Fair Women,'
I beheld Lochinvar, beloved of Flora,
drowsing under a great oak. Come now,
fair sister, let us endow him with the
blessing ot a vision. Let us send to him
the pastoral aerian Daphne in the form of
a robin, who will talk With him in a dream,
bidding-him write a glorious pastoral ode
on the blessed joys of 'Harvest Home'
and leasts appertaining thereto."
Amid shouts of applause from the
throats of the assembled goddesses,
Daphne, the fairy, started on her mission,
but as she was about springing from the
woods to the open air her tail caught oh
the cruel clinch of a modern telegraph
wire, and she lost two leathers. She was
instantly called back, and as no robbin
feathers were at hand, a woodpecker and
a flicker feather were stuck in. This
looked quite odd, but gave an air of variety. It was thought advisable tp further
increase this variety business, and also
the length of the tail by the addition of a
peacock plume, bearing one of the eyes ot
Argus. This would enable her to see
backward as well as-forward, and with
double vision she ought surely to be successful in making the journey. To the
end of this latter extension a crow feather
was attached by a single thread crosswise,
and when she flew this whirled around
like a wind wheel and helped to carry tbe
long tail- A happy thought. It looked
real pretty as she soared away.
The trip now proved a success, and
when the G'azette, of the 17th inst., arrived at Penmai, there was great rejoicing among all concerned, and several
bottles of nectar from father Jupiter's
sideboard were uncorked, and it was determined forth wii li that the archer, Cupid,
should be sent out in the near future to
get his little arrow into the heart-works
of the fluent-minded Lochinvar and the
daring lady whose ride he so grandly described, in tbe hone of making them lovers as they should be. I
In the hymn that followed Ceres, Erato
and Euterpe sang most melodiously, and
Terpsichore, moving with soft steps,
swayed her .little body most gracefully,
like the willows that shade the Pierean
Springs: •
Imagine now, if yon can, the disgust ot
the rejoicing goddesses, when Broad-
mouthed Bacchus, full of Elysian wine,
came staggering up, brawling in a hoarse
voice:
"There has been a mighty feasting,
And there never will be famine.
Where there's 'four cents worth of sugar
And a one cent lemon!''
I mention the above facts for two rea:
sons, namely, to show my dear Lochinvar
bow be is watched over, admired and directed by the troddesses, and lastly, to call
the attention of the readers of the Oa-
zette to the simple fact that almost every
great thing that occurs around emanates
from Penmar or is greatly influenced by.
the subtility of her immortal goddesses.
These divine creatures love the spicy Gazette and they directed the fairy to instruct Lochinvar to make it his vehicle,
for the people of Waynesboro, the great
industrial Cyclops, are in great favor with
the denizens of the Elysian Fields.
* *
a
I oyerheard a Waynesboro lady pass a
very pretty complement on onr Prof".
Bangert the other day- Thanks, little
black-eyes. A word for "Jimmy" is a
word for Penmar.
The mountain bouses are nearly all
filled with guests now and the hills are
jubilant.
Jimmy Brown, one of our drivers at
the Park, is off to Frederick getting the
nuptial knot tied to-day. Best wishes
fellow.
Let us, Mr. Editor, hear every day exactly how Bishop Oiler is. He is much
esteemed among the people here and great
anxiety is felt for him.
July 22.—Benton Croat, brother to par
caterer, John Emory Croat; is lying in a
very critical condition at Penmar. He
was siezed a few days ago with a .severe
weakness and yesterday and to-day he
has been in a deep stupor and may not
recover.
A number of the Syesters, Smiths and
Looses of Hagerstown are camping at the
Park, neat the public rostrum. They
display a large sign on which we read in
red letters. "Camp Hard Lock.'*
Mr. Crout has erected a handsome fruit
stand near the dancing pavilion, from
.which go out daily all the lucious things
in that line. Peach peddling is played
out at Penmar.
The Buena Vista Hotel Co. are moving
their'.car track from the Sooth or outside
of the road to the North or inside of the
rood, so that if the coach should become
derailed it would not be so likely to go
over the embankment. The carriage
track will hereafter be where the car
track was. This looks like robbing Peter
to pay Paul.
About a hundred people from Hagerstown held an enjoyable hop or "moonlight" at tbe Park last night We are
told quite a number of Blue Mountain
people came oyer and mingled with them
in merry gyrations to the time of Prof.
JSeigler's best tunes. Prof Bangert presided.
To-morrow about 30 people from
Cliambersbiirg will go into camp here for
a week? or two.
Among tbe successful hotel keepers of
the hills I have to 'mention Mr. Cyrus
Davis, of the Davis House. He lives near
Enclid, Md,, and has been.full up with
boarders since early spring. Gyms is a
popular anp clever fellow, and deserves
all the luck be has. If he took the Ca-
BETte, the great Penmar organ, as well
as exponent of every good, object in
Franklin and adjoining counties, his
house would be perfect in every requisite
to his business,
Juiyy/ 38—-Mr. Columbus Barkdoll, the
successful peach grower of Ringgold,
Md., was among tho genial visitors at
High Rock Sunday and while here called
my attention to something rather interesting. Some fifty or more years ago Washington Kohler, a farmer living in the
Ringgold district, and remembered by the
old people of those parts as a rather eccentric old fellow,' came to the Rock,
bringing with him a drill and hammer and
remaining here over night he drilled a
hole into the upper strata of the huge
boulder. Why he did so we know not,
unless he had hoped to be able to blow.
the thing to atoms, or jar it from its base.
If this conjecture is right we all know
how completely he failed. Mr. Barkdoll
showed me the hole.   It is just back of
I the steps that lead tq the present observatory. '
L   It is over twenty rfive years since Mr.
I Kohler's death, and Mr. Barkdoll's father
! assured him several years ago, that the
hole had been sunk fully fifteen years
then.   Few of us will secure a more last-
I ing monument than this indenture in this
famous cliff. Golu.

July 27.—The "Gate"' is open and the
keeper at his post. Our town again has
put off her Sunday costume and donned
her week-day attire. This is a lovely
morning with an atmosphere more like
September than July. ?p3§
The festival held here last week by the
people of the A. E. church was a success J
We have not learned the amount of the
proceeds. Saturday evening especially
witnessed a large crowd. The Ringgold
Cornet Band furnished music Tuesday and
Saturday evenings. These are clever
boys and deserve much praise for the
splendid music furnished on this occasion.
Under the skilful leadership of Prof. Morgan, the boys will make their mark and
meet with success wherever they may go.
Many thanks boys, come again, you are
welcome.
The festival will be continued Tuesday,
Thursday and Saturday evenings, July 28,
30, and August 1st. More and better attractions than ever on the grounds. Ice
cream and all the delicacies will be served."
Everybody come and have a good time.
The society of "King's Workers" of
Harbaugh's Reformed church wfll hold its
meeting Saturday evening, Aug. 1. The
program which was intended for-Saturday evening, July 18, will be carried out.
All are invited to come. Ton wfll be welcome. •
Sunday-school at Harbaugh's church,
Sunday, Aug. 2, at 1.80 pm., and services
by the pastor, Rev. S. E. StofHet, at 2.:50
p. m. instead of 10.30 a, m. These changes
are made for this-date owing to Rev. Stof-
flet preaching at Blue Mountain House
at 10-30 a. m.
Mr. George Johnston, son of Rev.
Johnston, D. D., of Philadelphia, is visiting friends and relatives in this vicinity.
George is on his'annual outing tour. May
he have a most pleasant and enjoyable
time.
Mr. D. W. llartman and daughter
Anna, of St. Thomas, were visiting in this
place Saturday and Sunday.
Mr. L. B. Pennell. an employee of the
Pennsylvania Railroad Co., located at
Korristown, Pa., was visiting his parents
here Saturday and Sunday. Ben always
meets with a warm welcome from his
many friends.
Master Nevin Fisher of Woodstock,
Va„ is here on a visit to his mother.
Nevin is looking well, seems as though
Virginia air agrees with him. Welcome
beck, Nevin.
Mr. J. C. Clugston, of Waynesboro,
spent some time here to-day looking up
his'coopering business. He was making
arrangements for the removal, of this industry to Waynesboro in the near future,
where he intends to build a large shop for
a number of coopers, of which the Rouz-
erville cooper is to be foreman- Such being the case, the merry ring of the cooper's hammer will soon be a thing of the
past here.
Persons going to Penmar by the way of
John A. Johnston's should not fail :to"no-
tice the crab-apple tree in his yard bending beneath its load of fruit. This is a
tree of which Mr. J, is very proud and it
is worth noticinfl.
Rouzerville can boast of her mighty
men. A Samson cropped up the other
day. He says he dug a cistern ten feet
deep and eight feet wide in one day, and
received as compensation for this laborious task fifty cents and a pint of old rye.
' Who was the worst beat young man at
the festival Saturday night ?.
Who ate the most ice cream? Ask
Fleagel.
Who was tbe Waynesboro young man
who captured a bird here Saturday night ?
Who is Rouzerville's champion dancer ?

July 7' an article appeared in the Gazette signed "Rip," which we would tade
for but a condensed form of Rip Van
Winkle. Since then Rip has been silent.
What has become of him we know not.
No donbt be was not able to bear the rush
and clatter of this progressive age after
his long slumber and has again withdrew
to his mountain retreat. We suppose he
was a descendent of the Van winkles
who figured so gloriously in the chivalrous day of Peter Stuyvesant, and possessed many of the traits of his ancestors,
who figured so conspicuously in the early
history of the Knickerbockers. Poor Rip
we pity you if only accompanied by. your
dog "Wolf" and your ancient fowling-
piece, you have again sought the quiet of
that deep, wild, lonely and shaggy moan-
tain glen, there to slumber for twenty
years and miss this grand closing of the
nineteenth century.
WiU not some one sound the trumpet
that may echo and re-echo through this
glen and awaken Rip from bis slumbers.

The Land of Beauteous Flowers and Fair
Women.
July 22.—The peach growers in this
section are beginning to ship peaches
already and we think in a few weeks will
be quite busy with the fruit which proves
to be a fine crop.
Last evening whilst driving past the
home ot Mr. Johnston Fleagle, we noticed
a small pear tree not more than four feet
high bending beneath its load of fine
pears. We do not know the variety nor
where it was purchased, bat would advise
you to look at it as you drive to Penmar.
Miss Edith Brenner, of Smithsburg,
who was visiting her friend, Miss Anna
Harbaugh for several weeks, has returned
to her home.
Miss Anna Johnston and brothers,
Walter and Robert, of Philadelphia, are
visiting the family of Mr. J. A. Johnston,
near this place.
Mr. John Gassman, wife and daughter
Ella, of Hagerstown, spent several days
with the family of Mr. Geo. Harbaugh.
This morning while preparing potatoes
for tbe noonday meal, Mrs. Geo- Harbaugh
found a potato which weighed one and a
quarter pounds.
We. would advise some of yonr town
butchers that when they come to this
mountainous section, to bring their butcher shops with them, for some times they
find the cattle very much attached to their
homes and oft times we see them that
they are quite immovable, and if they
could talk know they would say, "Let me
die at my native home.

Cold in death my love reposes.
Oh, how wild ay grief for her,
Tall and beautiful Kiunga,
Sister of the evening star,
Shining on the Nescutunga.
Near her grave the wild deer drinks
With his brown mate from the river
Looking up, and looking down.
Scents lie hound and hunter never.
Wild the hills and plains around,
Wild, like beautiful Kiunga,
Sister of the evening star,
Sinking o'er the Nescutunga.
Lo, the evening shadow falls;
Hfll and plain are shrouded under,
And across my darling's tomb
Melancholy breezes wander.
Spirits, lead me to my love,
To my heart-enshrined Kiunga,
Sister of the evening star
Vanished from the Nescutunga 1
Let me die before the morn;
Give me my eternal pillow:
Cover me with nature's robe:
Plant the ever mourning willow!
Then shall I be free from pain,
Resting with my sweet Kiunga,
Sister of the evening star,
White lamp of the Nescutunga.
INFANTICIDE.
<'nambersburs*s     Horror.— A    Dead
Baby Found Packed ia a Trunk.
Another startling case of infanticide
was unearthed Friday last at the house of
Benjamin Zarger, No. 570 South Water,
Chambersburg. Drs. L. F. Suesserott
and E. L. Schofield were summoned to
attend his daughter Florence in the morning. They discovered that she had lately
become a mother. She denied it and this
started their suspicions. Other mysterious circumstances strengthened their sur
mise that some foal work had been practiced. On this theory, they made a search
of the house, and in an old trunk on the
garret, which they knocked open with a
hatchet, packed down under a lot of
old books, papers, etc., they found a
folly developed dead baoy. The physicians held an autopsy and discovered that
the child had been born alive and healthy
and had come to its death from a blow on
the head.
v An inquest was held by Coroner Bone*
brake Saturday morning, at which the
girl, after hearing the physicians, admitted that the child was hers and that It
had fallen on the floor, from the effects;of
which it died.
The jury rendered a verdict "that the
child had been born alive; that it came
to its death by causes to the jury unknown, and that the death ot the deceased
bastard child was concealed by its mother
Florence Zarger." ,
The girl will be kept under close sur-
veilance, and as soon as well enough will

Mayer, of the Baltimore and Ohio railroad, to London, at this lime, is to confer
with the controlling interests of the Ohio

there, with the view of arranging terms
for the lease of the latter road to the Baltimore and Ohio.
Vice-President Thomas M. King, of the
B. & O. Company, says the report that the
B. & O. is seeking property at Newport

The Potato I.onse.
A dew insect has made its appearance
in some sections of the State, and for want
of a better name it, has been christened
the "potato louse." It is a worse pest
than the potato bag, tor the bug can be
shaken off the potato stalks; bat tho louse
cannot. Paris green will kill tbe bug, hot
this poison does not appear to have any
effect upon the loose. The farmers have
tried many ways to get rid of it, but have
not socceeced so far. The loose is very
small as to be scarcely visible to the naked
eye, and they cover the potato leaves so
that scarcely any of the leaf can be seen.
They eat the leaf and in a few days it will
be withered. It does not take long for
the insects to destroy acres of potatoes.
Another Decision.
The Religious Telescope of last week
gives the text in full of another decision
in the trial of a church case in the Circuit
Court of Ogle county, Illinois, Judge J.
H. Cartmight presiding. The ground
taken is the same as in all the other
decisions that the constitution of the
church has been legally amended and that
there is.no material change in the confession of faith. He gives, of coarse, the
property to the liberals and denies the
radicals the right to its use as they requested, or of any part of the time.

about one hundred guests at present, and
by the week it will probably be filled to
the entire satisfaction of the genial manager, Mr. David Miller.
This House is a paradise for the irrepressible small boy and he is there in

New Ca||le Disease,
A disease has*broken out among some
New Jersey cattle herds and has already
caused the death of a number of valuable
cows. The State inspector pronounces it
tuberculosis, and by his direction ten cows
have been killed, valued at about $800.
There are grave apprehensions that the
malady will spread to other herds.
A Now Scheme.
Our good housewives of a generation
ago would have laughed at talk about
making tomato- catsup without boding.
But here is a rule for cold sup which is
said to be great: One peck of very ripe
tomatoes; skin and press through a
coarse sieve. Add one quart of vinegar,
one tablespoonfol of salt, one tablespoon-
ful of celery seed, one half box mustard,
one tablespoonful of cayenne pepper, one
tablespoonfol of white pepper, one table-
spoonful of grated race ginger, one ounce
of cloyes and, two ounces of cinnamon.
Pot in a large mouthed bottle; it needs
no boiling and is excellent.

ABOUT THE PEA0H.
J.  Mitchell  Stover   Answers   Another
Query of High Importance to the
Peach Grower.
Edgknoxt, Md., July 22, 1891.
Editor gazette:—I have the following
inquiry:
St. Thomas, July 21.
Which is tbe best market to ship peaches
and what kind of a package is best to use?
Can you name a good house for me ?
C. C. Gel wicks.
DEADLY ENCOUNTER,
A Weasel, Slips into Frick Company's Office by Mistake.
CREATES  A PANIC.
Sam Brown's Effective Cigar Butt.
^ These questions are asked me so repeatedly that I will answer through the
Gazette, giving my experience for the
benefit of others. Where to ship should
be determined by the grower himself.
Select one good house in Baltimore, one
in Philadelphia, one in New York, Boston, Pittsburg, etc. A few shipments of
the same kind of fruit to either city will
settle that question for the grower, and
he will possibly not need to ship more
than once or twice to be well convinced
which is the best market. Oi coarse he
WiU always want to deduct freight, commission, etc., and figure from the net proceeds.
: It is well, however, to try the different
cities repeatedly, as the market often
varies. A large grower will do well to
keep, some fruit steady upon the different
markets. In this way'he .will be ready to
turn his shipments to the different markets, as the reports of sales r indicate, but
do not divide shipments in any one city.
After eight years shipments I have
found it to my interest not only to snip
one of my orchards all to one house, but
I prefer to. send four different orchards
all to the same house. If by concentrating to one point I can make up one or
more car loads, all the better, as one man
will have a corner on my brand of fruit,
and it wfll not come into competition
with itself- The house to whom you consign will appreciate this, and in consequence will give special attention to your
brand. Vou will have enough fruit to
attract the attention of certain buyers to
your brand if you keep it going to one
house regularly, and when customers discover yours to be a choice, honest package, they will know where to find it. Bat
if you change houses, as is so often done
by beginners, the consumer does not
know where to find it. The houses to
which I consign frequent ly tell me that
those "now here, now there" shipments
seldom bring their full worth, as they are
never long enough at one place to show
their value.
There are numbers of good houses in
eyery city too glad for your consignment,
who upon application will send you a
rubber stamp and pad for marking your
packages.
Commission merchants will approach
you with the advantages that their house
has over any other, and what an interest
they will take in yoa, and the beginner
will naturally . feel himself flattered to
have these different houses send their men
away out from the city, and he can scarcely refuse giving them part of 'his shipments, and in some cases they will promise you better prices than you are getting.
I say beware of that hoose.
The first tiling a snipper knows- he will
have more or less than a bushel of stencils, and his fruit scattered all over one or
two cities, besides having the name of
shifting about, as each house will hear, to
its sorrow, and to the disadvantage -of the
grower, how many other houses are competing for the sale of this one brand.
If one hoose happens to get a higher
price than the other, it is a disadvantage,
tor the buyer learns that some other
house sold the same mark for less money,
consequently he will go there and leave
the house that got the highest price. The
buyer will jump at this opportunity and
invariably when one mark may be seen at
two* or more different houses, the buyer
ge'.s the benefit of the deal. Carefully
select your man, and if you choose to toy
several before deciding, by all means give
him a fair chance to show what he can do.
You can compare prices with your neighbor if you have doubts as to his ability or
integrity.
As to what kind of a package; I would
say: Philadelphia and New York prefer
baskets and small packages, while Baltimore prefers crates. I find it good policy,
to select the kind of package you want to
use and stick to it. Every time yoa
change packages you have to educate
your buyers to the change, as they associate the grade of fruit with the style of
the package. I think the fruit growers
of Waynesboro and vicinity have made a
wise selection in choosing the half
bushel basket for choice fruit. For tancy
fruit, however, I prefer the Mott carrier.
It is reasonable in price and carries well.
Low grade fruit should go in bushel
crates, and it is generally handled in this
way. Good fruit ia crates often gives an
impression of a lower grade.
Yours respectfully,
J. M. Stover.
Outlook l'or Pennsylvania Crops.
Secretary Edge, of the State Board of
Agriculture, Friday issued a bulletin
showing the condition and prospect of
the season's crops. He says wheat will
be the largest crop for a number of years,
and may be safely estimated at 22,500,000
bushels. It is too soon, he says, to make
any sate prediction regarding oats, bat
from the data in hand he thinks it wiU
be an average crop. Hay will be a fair
average crop. Potatoes will prove an excellent crop should they escape the many
sun showers. Secretary Edge estimates
11,000,000 bushels. The crop of large
fruits wfll be one of the largest fora number of years, and the crop of small fruits
will proue remarkable.

Friday morning, gaye Way, precipitating

and doing considerable injury to Zug,
who was obliged to give op work for the

The Yellows.
The fatal "yellows" have made their
appearance to an alarming extent among
the peach orchards of Kent county. In
the vicinity of Millington the crop will be
cut short 100,000 baskets by the blight of
this disease. The disease is confined
principally to the varieties of peaches
known as Mt. Rose, Troths, Mixons and
McCallister's late. Acres of trees have
been taken out and many more will be
uprooted and burned.
Same Thins Here -Lost Year.
The Globe says that several persons
have been poisoned this year by a species
of caterpillar. Wherever it touches the
skin it seems to poison, first raising blisters
on the skin and then the poison spreading
over the surface and causing inflamation.
No serious results have ensued, but it
causes pain and great annoyance.
Evading slut Doc- Tax.
There are a number of persons throghout
the county, says the Register, attempting
to evade payment of the dog tax by denying ownership of the canines. The law
states plainly that "persons harboring
dogs or having them in their possession
must pay tax upon them." This can be
proceeded for in the same way as tor any
other tax.
Frick Co. is making such a stir in the
elements that even tbe denizens of the
rail pile are attracted to tbe scene of the
great doings.
Saturday last, among the numerous
other visitors to the office was a weasel
—a genuine chicken coop litter. He had
evidently been making his tryst in and
about the office sab-way, Lately, however, in the remodeling of the office, as
tbe theory goes, his front door was closed
and be thus lost his bearings. In seeking his quarters be was obliged to take
a circuitous route, which led him up
stairs into tbe main offices. Ha first
paid bis respects to the superintendent,
Ma. Penney, who, it being bis busy day,
was not inclined to bother with the customer and sent bim fiyicg in front of a
paper weight over to the typewriters'
department, or music hall. Here he was
met at tbe outstart with such an unearthly scream that he was glad to be
able to find his way safely into the treasurer's and book-keepers' room, His
comfort here, however, was bot of short
duration, as tbe moment the grisly visitor undertook to introduce himselt to P.
M. Chamberlain, the chief draughtsman,
he was met by a shower of bine prints,
dividers and compassses that sent him
reeling over to Treasurer Stickler's cor-
ner.
Mr. S. had come up on a (arm and
knew all about the habits of the little
scamp and that it was fall of game under proper provocation. He therefore
deliberated tor a moment as to tbe kind
of weapon he should use. The vault.
whilst effective, was beyond his physical
powers; also the sate. His desk was
unwieldly and, although sure death if
the mark were reached, was liable to
careen to one side or the other. Ha
chose the ink-stand, and taking caretul
aim, hit the mark where the weasel had
been a few moments prior. After the
smoke from tbe spatteri ng ink and flying fragments oi glasa had cleared away
it was discovered that tbe nimble-footed
intruder had worked his way into Secretary Ezra Frick's deportment.
The commotion here brought all the
clerical force to the scene and a grand
informal charge ensued. Paper weights,
inkstands, letter presses, eopying books,
cuspadores and everything tangible filled tbe air and scurried in a confused
mass over the floor. The excitement
finnally worked its way to Invoice Clerk
S»m Brown's corner.
Sam is from the Old Forge district,
where bears and that kind of game
abound, and is not to be rattled at the
sight of so insignificant a thing as a
weasel. He is accussomed to killing on
an average of one to two weasels a day,
when at home. This fracas, therefore,
was just in bis line, and when Mr.
Weasel was banged into Ids corner, it
didn't take long tor him to determine as
to the proper method of decapitation.
Taking his butt of a cigar oat of his
mouth lie let drive. His aim was true
Straight and switt flew the butt, catching the weasel just back of the ear, a
vital point, and sending bim reeling
over and oyer again against the opposite
wall. When picked up, life was extinct.
The battle was fought and won; the
agony was over, aad Sam Brown was the
lion ot the hour. The clerks retired to
their respective desks and the young
ladies performed a Te  Deum oft their
typewriters.
