Hog cholera which has depleted so many herds of swine in the country the past two weeks entered into Chambersburg and extensive ravages by it are reported. At least a score of hogs have died within the past week in Chambersburg. Out of one herd of twelve fat animals seven have died and the lives of the others are not yet assured. The disease is said to be spreading and because of this many persons whose swine are as yet free from the disease will kill this week. The disease manifests itself by a disinclination to eat.

They soon show froth at the mouth and become very lean, losing flesh rapidly, in many cases disposing in this way of half their weight in less than a week. Those persons who have not paid close attention to the condition of their swine will do well to observe these points. How Hog Cholera May Be Spread -Evidences Of It After the Animal Is Killed. A well-informed vaterinary surgeon advises the SPIRIT that hog cholera does not simply spread through the air. have known instances," he said, "where the germs of it can be carried from place to place on the shoes."

The Effects Beginning To Be Felt -Some of the Cases Already Before Justices Of the Peace. The effects of the operations in Bohemian oats by farmers are now beginning to be felt in this county. Scarcely a week passes that suits are not instituted by holders of notes for oats against the persons drawing them. In nearly every instance the present holders of the notes received them for value given and being, therefore, innocent parties judgment has been given against the drawers of the notes when suits were entered against them before Justices of the Peace. Several executions have been issued from the Sheriff's office against parties who have dealt heavily in oats and a number of farmers who have signed oats notes have been compelled to yield their property to Sheriff Mowery because of executions issued on judgments held by persons not interested in the oats business.

As a consequence of one or two instances of the latter the holders of the oats notes have begun proceedings to test the validity of the judgments ou which executions were based and which deprived them of the money they claim is owing them from the unfortunate parties. The holders of nearly all the notes on which suit has been brought are residents of Cumberland county. Several suits were brought on oats notes before Justice Haulman Monday morning. A number of the defendants to the suits acknowledged their signatures to the notes, the holders swore to having received the notes for value given and judgment was entered against the defendant or drawer. Kango Ransom, a colored man living along the Warm Spring road, was not of this class.

He swore that he had not signed the note which bore his name and that he had not received the value of it. The parties instituting the suit against him were R. R. and T. M.

Craighead, of Cumberland county. Justice Haulman decided the case in favor of Ransom. The note was for $147.23 BOUGHT AND SOLD. Various Sales of Real the County. Mr.

L. Tritt, C. A. Patterson and Dickson Max, of New York, he had been pursuing game there for a week. During their six days' gunning the four men shot 386 quail and 62 rabbits.

Saturday the gentlemen left for Mr. Skinner's home in Lurgan township and on Monday they went to Richmond to hunt for deer and bears in the mountains thereabouts. Mr. Skinner's presence here reminded a SPIRIT representative of a Hambletonian colt the Lurgan township gentleman owns, the fame of which has reached Chambersburg. When four months old the colt was able to and did jump over six rail fences.

For the past month he has not been turned into a field because of this propensity for scaling fences. The dam of the colt is a Kentucky animal and the colt, although his eyes first opened in the latter part of June last, is now as broad across the chest as a matured horse. HIT ON THE HEAD BY A STONE. The Injury Which Mr. Jacob Shafer Sustained Saturday Morning-His Head Gashed.

Mr. Jacob Shafer, the well-known mason, sustained a severe injury on Saturday while laying a wall on the premises of Mrs. R. C. Pomeroy onl West Market street.

He was at the bottom of a pit fifteen feet deep when a stone rolled from a wheelbarrow above and struck bim on the head. Mr. Shafer's usual "helper" was unable to assist him that day and he engaged a man who is without much experience in the work he had to do. On several occasions the helper advanced very close to the pit with the wheelbarrow. Despite warnings he pushed the barrow loaded with stone up to the mouth of the deep pit a third time and one big stone rolled off it and went whirling down the hole.

Mr. Shafer could not escape it and the heavy stone hit him upon the top of the head, felling him to the bottom of the pit senseless. He in a short time recovered consciousness and was helped up the ladder by his assistant, afterwards being taken to his home on East Queen street in a wagon. An examination of Mr. Shafer's injuries on Saturday afternoon showed that his skull was not fractured as was at first thought but that a big gash was cut in the top of his head and that the flesh about it was badly bruised.

With careful attention he will be able to leave the house in a few days and to resume work in a short time. All his friends will be glad to know that his injuries are not more severe. A WOMAN'S WRONG. A Virginia Lady a Commits Suicide In Hagerstown-The Means She Used To Effect Her End. Miss Belle Funkhouser died suddenly on Friday evening at the residence of her uncle, Mr.

William Funkhouser, in Hagerstown. She was twenty-two years old and the daughter of Mr. M. L. Funkhouser, of Luray, and the guest of her uncle for about a month." On Friday afternoon she wag unusually cheerful and after a shopping expedition returned to her uncle's house about five o'clock, retiring then to her room as if to change her attire.

Soon after her return she was heard groaning and the door of the room being forced open was found partially disrobed and suffering intensely. Physicians were called in but she died in a short time. A jury was summoned and an inquest was held and a post mortem examination of the body was made. The jury found that Miss Funkhouser came to her death from causes and means unknown to it. Physicians believe that she died from the effect of some powerful drug.

In her satchel was found a small vial filled with a colorless and odorless fluid. She was engaged to be married to a man living near Bentonville, and it is said was betrayed several months ago by a man of Marksville, Va. Before her death she told her father of her misfortune and they had made arrangements to visit her betrayer and settle matters with him. SHOT IN THE BACK. Two Boys of Mercersburg Go A-gunning-The Unsatisfactory Game One Brought Down.

The careless handling of a gun resulted in an accident in Mercersburg Wednesday which may result in the death of a youth of that place. The accident occurred about noon. Jerry Robinson and David Winters had gone to the edge of the town to shoot chickens and were armed with an old musket for this purpose. Jerry provided the musket and had shot one or two chickens when his next ball accidentally hit his companion, entering his body and lodging in the inside wall of the backbone. The consequence of it may be the death of David Winters.

His spinal cord was cut by the ball and even if life is left to him his lower limbs will be paralyzed. Winters and Robinson are each fourteen years old. The Hile Family to be Driven From of the Poverty-stricken Families of This County. The Hile family, notorious nearly all over Franklin county for its poverty and the laziness of its head, is now finding a temporary home in Shippensburg. Some time ago the father and mother and five or six children were committed to the Franklin county Almshouse but after remaining there for a time they left and are now heard of in Shippensburg.

The authorities of that borough have given notice that they want the family removed and 'Squire Plasterer, of Southampton township, has furnished a Constable with a commitment by which they may be taken back to the Almshouse. Any day may witness their arrival here. They expressed a desire to move to New Franklin where they lived last spring. The inhabitants of that place will be glad the request has not been granted.

A special meeting of Council was held Monday night and a petition signed by a large number of persons asking for the re-instatement of Jefferson Carbaugh as Policeman Was presented. It will be remembered that two weeks ago Policeman Carbaugh was dismissed from the on account of charges laid against him and afterwards was allowed to remain on duty two weeks.
