LOCAL CORRESPONDENCE Hollidaysburg, April 19, '59 On Tuesday last, Mr. Jno Wachob, while engaged in plowing in the field near the old Bennington Railroad, observed that the sod had been replaced; and upon examining the place, discovered a sugar-box, containing the body of an infant. Information was immediately given to Esquire Cox, who held an inquest upon it. A post-mortem examination was made by Dr. Hayes. He examined the lungs of the infant and gave the opinion that the child had never breathed, and its death was caused by abortion. He thought its age was about six months. The perpetrators of this crime are unknown, but we trust that means will be taken to discover them and bring them to justice. On Monday the 11th inst., the regular monthly Concert of the Sabbath Schools of this place, was held in the Methodist Church. The attendance was very large and the meeting very interesting. The exercises were conducted by Rev. J. H. C. Dosh, who introduced a new feature among the devotional performances. It was the discussion of different subjects connected with the interests of Sabbath Schools. Three questions were discussed by several members of various schools, and gave great interest to the meeting. The children were very attentive during the exercises, and all appeared to be pleased. The next monthly concert will be held in the Lutheran Church, and the exercises will be conducted by Rev. L. Knight. --------------------- SMOKE FOR WOUNDS A correspondent of the Country Gentleman, mentions a case of a horse, which was just ready to die of an old and festered wound. Fortunately, he adds, at this stage of the case, an old Pennsylvania teamster came to our relief and recommended smoking with old shoes. The smoke was made of old shoes, soles and all, cut in pieces, in a hog troth, and placed under the swollen parts. In a few hours the swelling subsided, and the sore commenced discharging matter; the horse was saved. In the same year I cut my foot with an axe. The lady of the house seized the foot when it was bleeding freely, held it over a pail containing taglocks. In a few minutes the bleeding stopped, and the smoke was removed, and a bandage applied to protect it from accidental blows-The wound never mattered, and consequently never pained me. I have seen this remedy tried in many similar cases, and always with the same results. Let the reader bear in mind that no liniment or salve, drawing or healing should be applied. You have merely to smoke the wound well, and nature will do the rest. ---------------------- Two or three weeks ago we noticed that Mr. Harvey Stewart, of Scotch Valley, had lost five horses, by poison, as was believed. Since then he has lost two others, making seven in all, and three of them being mares with foal, his loss in money is not less than $1,000. As analization of the contents of the stomach, we understand establishes the presence of arsenic; and hogs, dogs, and crows have died from eating the carrion. Mr. Saml. Smith lost a valuable hog. Quite a large number of crows have fallen victim. (Hollidaysburg Register) -------------- CLASSIFICATION OF RETAILERS OF MERCHANDISE OF THE COUNTY OF BLAIR.
