The thermometer at McCoysburg registered 8 degrees below zero Sunday morning at seven o'clock and the high wind all day made things disagreeable outside. The cold, 30-mile-an-hour wind and incessant snow flurries Saturday made the day a prettv blustry circumstance for thousands of people, mail carriers especially. The blacksmiths were extremely busy Wednesday all day and part of the night hoeing horses. Several teams were urned away, as they were unable to care for them. Reed McCoy, our postmaster at the enterprising little town of McCoysburg, is going around with one eye in a plaster paris cast, a result of a severe bump on the stove door, so he said, but in ail probability it was a stick of wood flung by one of the cooks. M. L. Ford was neatly surprised, a party of friends and neighbors coming in Tuesday night and reminding him of bis birthday. His highly esteemed wife planned the affair.

BY OUR SPECIAL CORRESPONDENTS

About every so often some one severely shocks the postoffice department by jawing the postmaster at some office because “that letter didn't come.” Nine times out of ten these carping critics couldn’t tell the difference between a verse of scripture and a testimonial for some itch medicine, A certain auto driver from Rensselaer who makes trips in this vicinity occasionally has caused a woman or two who have had narrow escapes by bis careless ness, to arm themselves with an ear of corn and they are going to "smock" him right in the face the next time he doesn’t halt or slow down when passing them. Geo. Pheddler had some fun all by himself scooping an overturned load of corn out of the ditch last week. As he was coming to Bussel's switch he met Dr, Kannal just north of the Parker bridge in his auto. George's horses started backing and upset the load of corn in the road ditch. Geo. could talk dutch to an auto pretty fast about that time. Patrons residing in rural mail districts should bear this in mind, that if they wish to retain the privileges of getting their mail at their door they should do all their postal business with the carrier, as that is what Uncle Sam pays the carrier for. They should, in connection with the above, take some good daily paper and be inside of the world, i. e. as many as circumstances will permit. Postmaster Reed McCoy has received notice from the postoffice department asking for information relating to the condition of the roads traveled by rural carriers. In reply thereto, on blank form furnished by the department, we are exceedingly glad to submit such a satisfactory answer as we are able to at this time. Everything as fast as time will permit is being done in the interest of the roads traversed by rural mail carriers. One day last week John Phil tip s, Lan McDonald and the latter’s son Ray, were burning off some pasture land over the big state ditch. It became necessary for them/to cross the ditch and Lan sought to get a little willow pole that was frozen in the ice. In "yanking” onto the stick somehow he lost foothold and fell into the water. John Phillips, in his usual jovial way, was rolling on the bank with laughter when Lan got out. He said- my, but that water’s cold. Monday afternoon, at Bussell's switch, was the scene of more than ordinary excitement. Deputy Sheriff Joe O’Connor came out immediately after dinner and very cleverly arrested one Stuart Thompson, a local fellow of this vicinity, who, together with his brother husked corn for Wash Lowman last fall, He was seemingly a man 24 or 25 years old and had hired to C. W. Bussell the week previous to scoop corn, but instead of showing up up for duty on Monday, sent his brother to take his place. ’Twas while young O'Connor was talking with the latter that Stuart appeared upon the scene and Joe quietly but earnestly read him his charge. From what we weYe able to learn, paternity is the charge.

The Sailor Man.

An old salt who navigates a bicycle when In port was working a rapid passage the other day when he collided with a lady cyclist. After they had extricated themselves from the wreck the Bailor made an apology from which she could gather little except that he was sincerely sorry. “I'm sure I ought to be scuttled for it, mum,” he said rapidly, “but I couldn’t get yer signals no more than If we were feelin’ through a fog bank. I was blowin’ for, yon to pass to port an’ steerin’ my course accordin’. Just as I was goin’ to dip my pennant an’ salute proper your craft refused to obey her rudder an’ you struck me foFard. Afore I could reverse your jlbboom fouled my starboard mlzzen riggin’, your flowin’ gown snarled up with my bobstay. blew out yer pneumatic, parted yer toppln’ lift an’ carried away my jacksaddle down haul. As I listed I tried to Jibe, but I capsized, keel up, an’ you were flounderin’ in the wreckage.” By this time there was an interested audience and the girl was mentally debating whether she should run from a supposed lunatic or ask for an interpreter. But Jack’s headpiece was stiff In his hand and he was not finished. Tm hopin’ yer not enough damaged for the hospital,” he went on, “but Td be sunk if I wouldn't be glad to stand yer watch till you righted. This here little craft of yours will be as seaworthy as ever when her upper works is straightened out an’ we get wind Into her sails again. I’ll just tow her down to the dock for repairs.” And she smiled an assent—lllustrated Bits.
