Focht, of Huntingdon, Pa., nee Matilda Hoobaugh, of Green Park, this county, had been killed in a wreck on a Southbound Wabash passenger train near Pendleton, Mo., in which seven passengers were killed and thirty injured.

Thursday night he was taken to his home near Bellwood by friends who say he is suffering from a derangement of the brain and that he will recover after a rest. The news of his appearing at the Bressler home was received in a telegram from Ticket Agent L. M. Brimmer to Chief Clerk Frank Delo, of Superintendent Preston's office, Altoona, at 11:30 Thursday morning. It was communicated to the Times office and immediately preparations were made for friends of Mr. Lauver to go to Donally's Mills and bring him home. Dr. A. S. Stayer, Miles R. Keesey and W. W.

He paid us a pleasant call Thursday and in a conversation upon different topics dropped the valuable suggestion that may be of use to our farmer friends. In the Eastern counties of the State cows are pastured frequently in fields containing garlic. In order that the milk be not tainted, it is the custom to let the cows stand three or four hours after eating and before milking, and by that time not a trace of the taint will be evident. This suggestion is valuable and worth trying. ====== Upham--Shaver A pretty home wedding was solemnized at the home of Mr. and Mrs. S. C.

In running a wagon out of the barn floor, the tongue flew around, striking him in the side, knocking the breath from him for a short time. Although considerable bruised, he followed the grain drill all day. We forgot, last week, to mention the name of Miss Mame Heim, as returning to her duties, in Harrisburg.

He had one year to finish his College course, and although he has not started his theological studies, (or as in common language, to study for a preacher) yet he has vim and enthusiasm about him to stand upon the pulpit, and proclaim God's Word. He did well in his delivery and his discourse, which was based on charity and principle, contained good thoughts and was odifying. He chose when but a boy his profession, desiring to be a minister. We wish him unbounded success. S. E. Arnold, administrator for the Mrs. Mary Bower estate in Madison township, sold the real estate property at public sale on Saturday for $105.
