a meeting under a bowery. A. Lyman L. Snow, & F. W. Richards
spoke to the people followed by President Young. While on the road from
Washington to Harrisburgh we stoped on the edge of a high precepice
which presents a vary interesting scenery in the valley below
& while standing there Brother Edings wh wished me to help him
lift up a flat stone which he wished to throw off from the
top of the precepice into the depthe below as I took hold of it
I caught ta scorpenean bewtween my finger & the stone and he
stung me in the middle Joint of my forefinger which gave me
a shock through my whole system it was a small one &
I mashed him to peaces in lifting the stone, this alarmed me
somewhat as the sting of a scorpeon is considered vary
dangerous with us as some have died with it. I soon got
some tobaco & bound on which took the poison out & I recei-
ved no material injury from it. In the afternoon we drove
