AN IDEAL SPOT IN THE PERKIOMEN VALLEY IN WHICH MANY PHILADELPHIAN'S WHILE AWAY THE DELIGHTFUL DAYS OF SUMMER

The village know as Palm, is between two and three miles northwest of East Greenville on the Goshenhoppen and Green Lane turnpike. The village is pleasantly located near the base of the Hosensack hills and near the confluence of the Hosensack Creek and the head waters of the Perkiomen. There is no more ideal spot in the entire Perkiomen Valley than the village of Palm and this fact is appreciated by a number of Philadelphians and people of other nearby cities who spent the charming summer days amidst the beautiful scenery of this quiet and peaceful village either as boarders or campers. In the immediate surroundings are a number of carefully kept well cultivated farms whose soil is not to be surpassed in fertility. The village proper is composed of about thirty dwellings. A blacksmith shop, school house, hotel, general store, postoffice, two grist mills, saw mill, feed coal yard and a pedal organ factory. It also has an auctioneer and a justice of the Peace. The organ factory is conducted by Edwin KRAUSS whose grandfather gained fame almost a century ago as a successful organ builder. On his death he was succeeded by his son and since the grandson has succeeded to the business the KRAUSS fame has not suffered.

The smoke observed in the distance shows the location of the station. More produce is shipped from this station to the various markets than from any other on the Perkiomen railroad. But a short distance below the village on the Hosensack Creek, the John HANCOCK Ice Company has one its largest ice houses. The filling of this house gives employment to a small army of men during winter and the shipping during the summer season furnishes labor for many. Although lacking the modern facilities of cities and larger towns, Palm is a delightful place to visit as its inhabitants are cheerful and hospitable and treat strangers with cordiality and respect.

MET WITH MISHAP

Henry, the son of Aaron LINSENBIGLER, a farmer residing near Sassamansville, had a leg fractured, on Monday afternoon in a peculiar manner. Mr. LINSENBIGLER and his son, Henry, were engaged in hauling apples from the orchard of Mrs. Jane YOST. While on the way home, Henry drove the team and his father walked after it. After going about a mile the horse became frightened and started to run away. The boy fell from the wagon and one of the rear wheels passed over his leg, fracturing it below the knee in two places. The boy heard the cracking noise and thought he had fallen on a piece of wood. He hurried on his feet and started to run after the escaping team, but after making a few steps the splintered bone pierced the flesh and when the doctor examined the broken member he found the sharp pieces of bone protruding throught the flesh. Luckily Dr. WEIDA, of Frederick, soon came past the place where the accident happened and he found young LINSENBIGLER. He temporarily fixed the leg and then removed the boy to his home where the fracture was permanently set.

HOTEL SHED BURNED

A fire that broke out shortly after 4 o'clock Wednesday afternoon in the hay on the second floor of a large shed at the Swamp hotel completely destroyed h e shed, together with a quantity of hay. The fire was discovered by Jeremiah RHOADS, the proprietor of the hotel, and he quickly summoned a number of neighbors to aid him in getting the horses and wagons out of the shed. While the neighbors were getting out the horses, wagons, harness and other articles in the shed, a telephone message was sent to Boyertown for aid, and the Friendship and Keystone companies quickly responded. It was a four mile run to the Swamp hotel, and by the time the Boyertown firemen arrived on the scene the building, which was a two-story frame one, was almost totally destroyed. Mr. RHOADS and the crowd of helpers succeeded in getting the shed cleaned of all portable articles, and only a lot of hay on the second floor was consumed with the building. The flames spread to the large barn of Dr. KNIPE, a short distance away, but the spectators extinguished the blaze with a bucket brigade. The Boyertown firemen aided in preventing the flames spreading to the large barn at the hotel. The origin of the fire is unknown. At the time it was discovered by Mr. RHOADS, it was apparently burning for some time. The burned building was about 60 by 40 feet in length, and was used as a shed for stabling horses which came to the hotel. Part of the upper portion was used by the Junior Mechanics as a lodge room and the rear portion was filled with hay. The loss will amount to about $2000.

AGED HUSTLER HAD A BAD FALL

Will BOYER, the aged hostler at the Pennsburg Hotel, on Wednesday, met with a painful accident. He was standing on a short ladder lighting the lamp in front of the hotel which is fastened to the telephone pole, when the ladder slipped on the pavement causing him to fall. In his efforts to prevent the fall he grabbed the lamp but his weight brought it along down to the pavement. In the fall Mr. BOYER struck his head against a stout iron rod which connects the hitching posts. He also fell with his head on the stone sidewalk. Several eye witnesses to the accident hurried to his assistance and they found him in an unconscious state. He was carried into the hotel and a physician was summoned. It was sometime before he fully recovered.

FARMER SHOOTS DOGS AND IS IMPRISONED

Isaac LINSENBIGLER, a well-to-do farmer residing near Sassamansville, was this week arrested for shooting two hunting dogs on his premises, given a hearing, fined and sentenced to three months in the county jail. Last Monday, a hunting party composed of Oscar BEAN, Lucian MENG, Samuel MENG and Augustus CHRISTMAN, all of Zieglerville, went to Sassamansville on a gunning expedition. They were accompanied by two valuable hounds. The party left their teams at the Sassamansville Hotel and started to roam over the fields in that vicinity. They had not gone far when they got on the property of Isaac LINSENBIGLER, who it appears did not allow gunning on his premises, but had no trespassing notices posted. The dogs soon found a rabbit and chased him, whereupon LINSENBIGLER, without any warning, appeared on the scene with a gun and shot both dogs. The one was killed outright but the other was only severely crippled. When the gunners saw this act they walked up to Mr. LINSENBIGLER and protested, but he got angry and ordered them from his premises. They first demanded the dogs, and after receiving them they left the place. On Wednesday Oscar BEAN, the owner of the dogs, went to Norristown and had a warrant sworn out for his arrest. On Thursday morning Constables I.E. HUNSICKER and H.H. HUNSICKER, both brothers and constables of Schwenksville with the gunners went to Sassamansville and demanded settlement from LINSENBIGLER for the dogs and the costs. Meeting with a refusal, they placed him under arrest and took him before Magistrate LENHART, at Norristown, who after a hearing sentenced him to three months in jail, twenty dollars fine and costs amounting to about thirty dollars.

MET WITH A PAINFUL ACCIDENT

Jesse HALLMAN, a farmer of near Steinsburg, had his hand badly injured by getting it between the end of a wagon pole and a window sill. He delivered a load of hay to an Allentown man and at that place he had to haul it in a narrow alley. In his efforts to guide the wagon so that it would get close to where he wished to unload it, he got his hand between the end of the pole and a window sill and it was smashed. A physician was required to stop the flow of blood and sew the lacerated parts together.

FOUR WEEKS OLD CALF RUNS WILD

A four weeks old calf belonging to farmer James B. KLINE, of near Finland, on Saturday broke the rope with which it was tied and dashed out of the stables and took to the woods. It ran wild for several days and a gunner who was roaming in the woods almost shot it for a deer. He was ready to discharge the gun when he got a better view of the object and saw that it was a calf. The calf was later secured at Finland and taken back to Mr. KLINE's farm.

THIEVES TRY TO ENTER GENERAL STORE
