Narrow Escape. At the funeral of Mrs.
Elsha Kline, of l"pjer Augusta township, on
Thursday last, a natrow escape of an accident
was made. As the funeral procession was pass
ing through a piece of woods on the road to
Kline's Grove graveyard, a pine tree was blown
down across the road by a gale of wind, within
few feet of Mr. Samuel Obcrdorfs wagon.
Had the tree struck the wagon a serious accident
would no doubt have occurred.
Strawberries. The prospect of a fins crop of
this delicious fruit two weeks since was most fa-
varable, but the drouth has reduced the Crop
fully oue half. Onr market has been almost ex
clusively supplied with fruit raised at home,
which is much superior to the best brought from
abroad. But the prices are too high. At Wash
ington, Baltimore aud other cities, 15 ceuts is a
good average price. Here il rates over 20. The
sales in market the past week was 20 cents per
quart. Our dealers, however, who have a mo
nopoly of Mr. Youngman's berries charge 25 cts.
Tub Potato Bro. There is a general com
plaint of the ravages of this insect. The earliest
potatoes seem least affected. Paris green is said
to be an excellent remedy, but one of the surest
and 1ett remedies is to bend the viues over a coal
hod or bucket, and shake or tap the vines with
a stick, so that the bugs fall into the vessel. In
this way one person cau go over an acre a day
and gather ten times as many as by picking
tbem oft by hand.

Tiie Rowing Match. The rowing match an
nounced last week, cantc off ou last Friday e"
ening, and created considerable interest. Awut
the time set for the match, a large numbf"" f c'
tizens repaired to the river to witness -lie sport.
About 7 o'clock the river bank waf lined witu
people and carriages. The JuiKcs Martin
Walls, Major Dewart, Judge Whit "cr, and J. E.
Eichholtz, Umpire, were prorltly on hand.
Five boats entered, and position were taken by
lot. Peter Krohn secured tic first choice, and
took his position on the catside. James Royc
came next, followed by Jacob Senseubacb, E. B.
Wcstfall, and Philip Tntt. The umpire aud
Martin Walls were iu boat, half a mile from
tho starting point, ucr Bird's Island. At a sig
ual given the race commenced, and the umpire's
boat was reached U the following order. First,
well ahead, Peter Krohu ; next.Phillp Trutt.and
closely followitij James Roy, E. B. Wcstfall and
Jacob Sensciiiaeh. They passed the umpires
boat, nnd palling reached the starting point iu
the same order. As they ucared the starting
loiut, the crowd on the banks gave vent to their
feelings by vociferous cheering.
This match originated with Mr. E. B. West
fall and Mr. Jacob Scnscnbach, who arc desirous
of bringing into notice the beautiful basin of wa
ter to amateurs in row ing, to induce occasional
matches among those fond of the sport. Wc are
happy to note their successful experiment, and
wc learn that arrangements arc already beiu
made to orgauize a regular club to exercise iu
the athletic sport. They will make arrange
ments to invite rowers from abroad to test the
6pecd of their craft upon the waters of the Sus
quehanna river at this place. We are satisfied
that wheu the character of our beautiful basin
becomes known to sportsmen, few will seek other
places less attractive.
The Visitino Firemen. Sunbury was the
scene of another pleasant gala day on Saturday
last. As was stated in our last issue, the Cata
ract Fire Company of Lock Haven, together with
the Mayor, members of the bar and those of the
press, arrived at this place about 11 o'clock a.
m., on their return from an excursion to Allen
town, Easton and Danville. All the preliminary
arrangements for a proper reception on the part
of our fire department, Burgess and Council hav
ing been perfected, as the train stopped at the
depot a hearty welcome was extender. A pro
cession was formed with the firemeu iu advance
accompanied by the Lock naven nnd Sunbury
Bands, and the dignitaries of the two towns.and
citizens, in carriages. A parade then took place
through the principal streets of the town, and
then proceeded to the Park, on Market Square,
w here a reception speech was made by Win. A.
Sober, Esq., extending a hearty welcome to the
visitors on the pait of its citizens, firemen and
municipal officers. IDs speech was received w ith
great applause. S. R. Pealc, Esq.. of Lock Ha
ven, who was once a Sunbury boy, and who spent
many of his childhood's happy days among us,
then resiKwdcd in behalf of the visitors. He
said he was present at the planting of the trees
which now shade our Park, and referred to his
youthful days in our town, and Its liberal heart
ed people that the spot was hallowed to his
heart was near and dear to him ; and kuowing
the generosity of its citizens, he was glad to
once more mingle with them for a short time in
company w ith gentlemen of the highest resjiec
tability of his adopted home, that they might
leani by experience the hospitality of Sunlmry,
and would accept the invitation extended to the
Cataract Fire Company, and the municipal offi
cers aud citizens of the city of Lock Haven.
The Cataract Company were the guests of the
Sunbury Steam Engine Company, No. 1, anil
were handsomely entertained at the Clement
nonsc, and Washington House. In the after
noon, by invitation, the firemen visited the Good
Intent Hook and Ladder House, where they met
with another handsome reception. They were
received with a neat speech by Gen. J. K. Cle
ment, which was rc?Hnded to by Mr. Hippie on
behalf of the Cataract boys. The Chief BurgcfS,
Sol. Malick, spoke in behalf of the Washington
Company, regretting that they had no house
in which they could give them an evidence of
their appreciation by a proper reception.
At the Good luteut house the firemen became
properly acquainted with each other, and a so
sial time was Riwmt together until the arrival of
the 4 o'clock train, when the guests departed for
home.
The members of the bar of Lock Haven were
handsomely entertained at the Central Hotel by
number of the members of the bar of this place.
Geo. Hill, Esq., presided. Toasts were drank
and responded to by II. T. Bcardsly. S. R. Peall
and W. II. Hippie, Esqrs., of Lock Haven, and
Geo. ITill, Jno. K. Clement and T. H. B. Kase,
Esqrs., of the Suubury Bar.
We feel confident that the hospitality of our
borough fathers, and the firemen was highly ap
preciated by the visitors, and we were happy to
notice the good feeling that prevailed during their
Slav, as it left a favorable impressiou upon all, as
they remarked, that their reception here was the
most generous along their route. e hope that
they will soon psy us another visit, and become
better acquainted with our citizens and their
hospitality.
The gates of the enclosure of the Park In Mar
ket Square are still stauding open, and the place
has become the resort of many of the cattle owned
within the limits of our borough. This no doubt
is a tomfortable anangement for the cows, as
the beautiful shade trees found there afford them
ample protection against the summer's heat, but
it doesn't meet with the approbation of nine
tcnths of the people of the place. A few even
ings ago we visited the Park,and counted 15 cows
which had made a dormitory of the concern.
As we passed along, one becoming disturbed.

course of our boroutrh council. The Purk was
iuleuded to be a place of beauty, nud at a heavy
expense was transformed from a goose pond Into,
it seems, a cattle yard. This Spring the enclo
sure promised much. The grass which had been
sown the year previous, sprung up vigoroinIy.
Flowers and tree were set out, and all interest
ed expected to see them growing there in all
their inviting beauty. But how is it now I
Through the stupid policy of some one, the
Park has been turned into a grazing place, the
trees have been made scratcing posts for the cut
tle, and Instead of the fragrant cowslip wc have
the other kind. How long must the good people of
the place endure this thing! The cats pass in
full view of our Park ; the citizen who don t feel
the effects of this ciicumstance is a queer fellow.
An Acciint at Watsontown. On Saturday
lai-t Mr. John Ellis, of Turbutville, und mail
carrier betweeu Comly and Watsontown, was
driving through the main street Iu the latter
place, and was met by runaway horses attached
to a buggy belonging to Mr. Gillespie, ol Tur
butville, and in attempting to turn his team a.-ide
was run into and thrown from his warou and
his left broken at the thigh. He was carried
into a .neighboring house and Ir. Treou und
Khiiads called in who attended to his wounds.
One of the horses iM-longiug to Mr. Gillespie hud
his leg broken below the knee, and was killed to
end his suffering. The buggy, which was valued
ut $.VK), was broken t pieces, and the mail
wuron of Mr. Ellis considerably damaged. Much
sympathy is elicited foi Mr. Ellis as he is poor
and a man of excellent character und an accom
modating official.
Don't feed your turkeys ou jiotato bugs, if
yon would enjoy the national Christmas dinner.
The Charlestowp J'rtu says; A lady living a
few miles from Clurlestown, exasperated by the
depredations of bugs upon her potato virus, and
fient ou exterminating them, turned loose in her
patch twenty-seven turkeys. Many bugs were
"surrounded" by the agile turks, but in less
than an hour seventeen of the attacking party
were stone dead upon the field the bugs having
cut their way out. Tic turks were active, mad!
the charge heroically, but badu't sand enough lu
their gizzard?.
Personal. We regret our absence from our
sanctum on Saturday last, to extend the baud of
friendship to C. F. Leidy, Esq., of the Lock
Haven Il'iuhlUa.i, and B, R. Somes, Esq., or the
Muhtour American. Having becu tuga jed at ths
time in some important political inatteis of the
county we missed the pleasure of their call. We
hope you will call again soou wheu we are at
onr post.
t is singular how some editors can afford to

J We have frequently heard the remarks of
strangers who were traveling in inecaio ."
this place and Northumberland, in reference to
Bird's Island, as an eligible locat ion for the es
tablishment of cotton factories and lumber
mills. The Island is about a quarter of a mile
wide, and exteuds over a mile northward in the
North Branch of the Susquehanna, river, imme
diately between Sunbury and Northumberland.
Its banks are high and safe against inundation.
The ground Is nearly level, and its shores are
edged with groves of forest trees. It can be ap
proached with steamboats or any other craft.
The P. & E. R. R. crosses at the lower part with
ample room for auy number of sidings. This is
land is beyoud a doubt the most desirable place
along the river for the purpose alluded to. We
arc informed that a portion of it will soon be laid
out in lots, and that several have already been
engaged whereon private dwellings will be erect
ed. We hope the project will not fail, and
while its centre is being built up with dwellings,
its banks will be built up with manufactories.
This island in connection with the facilities for
transportation of Sunbury, is destined at no very
remote day, to become a large manufacturing
centre. Hero among our mountains of coal, iron
and limestone, exist fortunes for future invest
ments. Articles of manufacture can be produced
at less cost than elsewhere, and with Northum
berland laying immediately to the west with her
beautiful scenery and natural advantages, the
three locations being connected with bridges,
will form a central city in the Keystone State
unequalled in wealth, health and beauty.
The festival of the Sunbury Cornet Baud,
which closed on Saturday last, was very success
ful, as the Band realized about four hundred
dollars. This is a deserved compliment to the
Band, aud shows the favor iu which they are
held by our citizens. We never before had an
association of musical talent in our place which
promised so much. We have always believed
that the material for the formation of a good
Band was among us, and only needed an efficient
leader to dcvelope and coufirm the fact. Since
Mr. Kirchnerhas become the leader of our Band,
who is probably one of the best leaders iu the
State, its improvement has been almost a mira
racle. The citizens of the place should now give
it their heartiest support. Don't let it complain
that any reasonable demand has not been grant
ed. Wc have a fire department of which we cau

At the festival several contests tock place be
tweeu different parties, for which the ladies de
serve great credit iu giving interest to the mat
ter. The pig between Dr. Jeffries and F. Bright,
was voted to Dr. Jeffries. The cake between L.
T. Kohrbach and Lem Shipman, was voted to
Kohrbarli. A cake between Oliver Drumheller
and Fratik Cooper, was won by the latter gen
tlemar., aud brought a high price. The cake be
tween '.he foremen of the different fire compa
nies, was decided in favor or Major Cadwallader
of steamer No. 1.
The appeal or the Mexcantile Appraiser, on
Monday last, was more largely attended than
any previous appeal ever held in this county.
This was mainly owing to the Mercantile Ap
praiser, who, it is alleged, had a proueness Tor
making the assessments outrageously high.
There was much dissatisfaction expressed
against the appraiser. When Mr. Druekemillcr
was appointed, wc then stated our disapproval of
the appointment, and that we considered it
the worst appointment that could have been
made. Wc have not yet seen anything to change
that oplniop, nnd we wonld not be surprised if
many merchants ia the conuty wonld agree with
us now. Jt is a good lesson, however, to county
Commissioners, as it teaches them the necessity
of inquiring into the character and qualifications
of men before appointing them to important po
sitions, and to choose none except those who
come up to the standard required by Jeffersou
''Is he honest, Is he capable."

Meeting of the Repcblicas Standing Com
vitt'e. The Republican Standing Committee
of Northumberland County, met in the Court
House, in Sunbury, on Saturday last, pursuant
to call. Em'l Wilvert, Chairman, presiding, and
L. M. Morton, Secretary. The different dis
tricts ware well represented by the members of
the Committee. On motion, Col. Alex. Cald
well, of Shamokiu borough, was elected by ac
clamation Representative Delegate to the next
State Convention, in addition to the Hon. R. M.
Frick of Milton, who was appoimed by the last
county Convention.
On motion, Resolved, That Saturday, Septem
ber 19th, he fixed upon for holding the delegate
election, and the following Tuesday, September
22d, as the time for the nominating County Con
vention. The ejectment suit or Dull, Tryou aud others
against CampWll, Tower and others, was called
np in the Columbia County Court last week, be
fore Judge Ellwell. The suits involve directly
the title to a large and valuable tract of coal
lands in Schuylkill county, embracing 2800 acres,
worth in the market, perhaps oue million and a
half of dollars. The actual defendant in the
c ise is the Philadelphia and Reading Coal and
Iron Company, which has acquired the hinds in
questiou.
Both sides were represented by counsel of unu
sual eminence. For the plaintiff appeared
Frank Hughes, John W. Ryan, Senator Bechtal,
or Pottsville, together with Hon. Jeremiah S.
Black ; while Tor the defuse the counsel were
Judge Woodwurd, Hon. Charles R. Buckalew
and S. P. Wolverton. of Sunbury. I he cause
was continued until next October term.
We aie always ready to make amends when
we are in the wrong. We would therefore state
we were strictly in error when we stated last
week that our neighbor J. E. Eichholtz wonld
not so near water. He did venture on the river
in a boat, but says it was a severe trial ; that he
Mt shaky, and that it took considerable beer to
neutralize llie effects It had npon his uerves. He
also thinks that by gradual practice on water,
will prepare his system tor a trip up salt liver
this coming fall.
A ekw days ago, as Mr. Thomas Reber, or
Lew'ubnrg, was walking in Northumberland
county, on the rami or Benjamine Rine, he pick
ed up a rew very large teeth belonging, apparent
ly, to some extinct species of animals. One
measured inches in length. Others are near
ly the same size. Iu diameter they are at places
over an inch. Mr. Rcber showed the curiosities
to some of the profes6o's or the University, who
believe them to have belonged to some species or
grass feediug animals, hundreds of years extinct.
They are much different from the teeth of the
mastodon. Siuce tile first teeth were found, Mr.
Reber and Prof. James visited the spot and
found a portion or the jaw bone and nine more
teeth, which make fourteen In all. It is the in
tention to send them to un institution in Phila
delphia for Inspection. LeuitbHrg Journal.
Ikon Weimjjno. Last Friday evculng being
the first anniversary or the wedding of Mr. A. G.
Goodwill and Pet Klace, several of their friends
g,rt up a surprise for them in the way or un iron
wedding. It proved to be a complete surprise to
the happy pair and a source or great enjoyment
to all present as well as to a teir spectators
apross p(e way, who sccined to enjoy it as much
as those participating. Many era the presents,
all made of iron pots, pans, kettles and cans.
What can bind a fellow to home closer or make
him long to be there more than a waffle Iron, (if
properly used,) aud what will drive a fellow
away quicker thau a poker (if Improperly nscd?(
There were two of he latter presented to Mrs.

Is taking a flying trip to Shamokiu a few days
ago, we were impressed with the beauty of the
scenery along the Shamokin Valley R. R. The
train being in charge of that handsome and ac
commodating conductor, D. E. Schuster, we felt
perfectly safe, as we knew him to be one of the
most reliable employees on the road, and one
who understands making passengers feel com
fortable and pleasant. Soon after leaving Sun
bury, we noticed the improvements being made
by the farmers along the Shamokin Creek. Their
farms look clean, and ore supplied with good
substantial barns and Cue dwellings their fields
adorned with a luxuriant growth of waving
grain aud purple-headed clover. Arriving at
Snydcrtown, we fouud that improvements iu the
way or building comrortablc dwellings was one
or the maiu features of that thriving borough.
At Reed's station, ths residence of our esteemed
frieud Sol. Martz, Esq., has also been much
changed within a few years, and has become one
of the priucipal stations for the exchange of
passengers. Approaching tho weigh scales, wc
noticed several buildings in course of erection, a
neat office belonging to tho Mineral R.R. it Min
ing Co., (uoled for containing a number of fine
young business men as clerks,) which ships more
coal than any other in the region. Mr. R. A:
Fisher, Esq., we understand, is at present filling
the position of principal clerk, with general satis
faction. Mr. Fisher is a man of excellent busi
ness qualifications, and labors hard for the inte
rests of his employers. We also got a glimpse
of that prince of landlords in the Shamokin Val
ley, Mr. Jesse Hensyl, who knows how to keep a
hotel, and make guests happy at his Mountain
House. He is far too good a man to be a Demo
crat. From the scales to Shamokin the moun
tain air and scenery is perfectly delightful, and
as the train passed the collieries the noises pro
duced on the breakers, gave evidence that the
coal business had not altogether ceased. The
borough of Shamokin is improving rapidly, and
already the town is beginning to spread over
the adjacent hills. The water works lately in
troduced into the town gives . general satisfac
tion, and soon gas will extend to all its streets,
when wc shall not be surprised if the town will
change from its incorporation as a borough, aud
put on that or city.

The following gentlemen were appointed a

man. The Centennial of rne Discovert of Oxt
oen. A few evenings ago a number of gentle
men assembled at the residence of J. Priestley,
M. D., to confer with Dr. n. Carrington Bolton,
of the city of New York, who came bore to make
the necessary arrangements for the proposed
meeting of Chemists at this place, on the first of
August.
The Doctor was kindly welcomed, and after a
preliminary organization had been effected, pro
ceeded to state the object he had in view In vi
siting the place. He is an active member of the
committee in New York, nnd desired, in com
mon with his colleagues, that their intentions of
celebrating the hundredth anniversary of Oxy
gen at the grave or Dr. Priestly, the discoverer,
should meet with a cordial welcome from the
local population. He read a call, bearing the
names or many or the most distinguished che
mists and scientific men iu the United States
and Canada, a large proportion or whom may
be expected to be here an.l take part in the cere
monies. In resjKinse to the desires or the Dr. und his
frieuds a permanent committee of corporation
was organized for this borough and its vicinity
or which Joseph Priestly, M. D., was chSsen
Chairman, assisted by several sucrctarics. On
motion of Joseph Bird, Esq., an Executive Com
mittee of five citizens was named to take general
charge of the arrangements, assisted by sub
committees on details, such as procuring a suita
ble place or meeting, the committee of reception,
address of welcome, quarters and entertainment
of visitors, amusements, Sic, &c.
The meeting adjourned to re-assemlIe at the
call of the presiding officer, when further infor
mation shall be received from the Central Com
mittee in New York.
Dr. Bolton returned home on Monday morn
ing, bearing the assurance or all who feci any
interest in the town and the cause, of a hearty
co-operation on the part of our peoplu. .Yoi-fA'd

The .VJfriiii has adopted the rash in advance
system foi subscription. A sensible plan, and
we hope all newspapers iu the county will agree
to adopt the same plan. This udvar.ee pay plan
has been adopted in the majority of the couutics
lu the Slate. Not only subscription but all other
printing should be paid in ndvance, and we
hope the publishers throughout the county will
meet and adopt a better system or business, and
stick to it after it has been adopted.
Look Out for Him. A tea swindler U play
ing his game quite successfully in some ir the
country town. He sells a number or five pound
packages, telling his customers that it is better
not to disturb the tea, but to use from the top of
the package. On examination it Is found that
these five pound packages contain ubout one
pound of tea the rest is made up of wads of
paper. Look out for his advent.

The Lock Haven fireman, on an excursion to
Allentown last week and return, give the blow
ing report to the Lock Haveu l'jtbliean of their
reception at this place :
.sunbury was reached at 10:4.", and the grand
entertainment received by ns all alonsj the route
was continued here. The entire Fire Depart
ment, composed of the best material of Sunbury
was at the depot, und our welcome was in keep
ing with the well-known generosity of the citi
zen. Geo. B. Cadwallader acted as director of
ceremonies. After parading the streets of the
borough the procession brought up at Market
Square, over the entrance to which was r.n arch,
and depending therefrom a banner, inscribed,
"Welcome Cataract of Lock lUveu." In the
park a stand was erected, and after tin) line had
been drawn up in front, Mr. William A. Sober,
Esq., attorney at law and fireman, delivered a
neat and appreciable address of welcome, to
which 8. R. Peule, Esq., responded. After this,
Mr. Sol-er read an invitation fiom the Good Iu
tent Fire Company, requesting Cataract and vi
sitors to call at their house about 2 o'clock.
Three times three cheers were given for Snnbury
and her firemen, after which the line broke and
the excursion party was divided, nud sent to dif
fureut hotels, where bounteous table awaited
them.
A noticeable feature or this reception was that
the Chier Burgess and every member of Council
was present, and entorud luto the plea. urea or
the occasion with heart and soul.
At 2 o'clock we proceeded to tho house or
Washington und Good Intent Companies. Gen.
Jno. Kay Clement welcomed the boys In behalf
of the companies, to which Mr. Hippie responded
in a ueat, humorous speech, the appreciation or
the hearers being Indicated by the rounds or ap
plause that Interrupted him, especially after his
"camp meeting exwrience." Chief Burgess,
Sol. Malick, also addressed the guests, and ex
tended to them un invitation to partake of the
generous lunch spread before them. No second
bidding was necessary; no common mortals
were ever supplied with bettor appetites, aud no
matter how oteif we ale, there were still room
for more. '
The extensive arrangements made for the en
tertainment of our party had nil been made un
der the direction of the council, whq had held a
special meeting for that purpose. And they
were successful in' their undertaking, for when
the hour of depa'rf uf e' canid, wus ths universal
regrc;jUi wa vlti t4 Kinaiu with the good

At 4:10 we again entered the cars, but not until
we had been refreshed by a collation n't th hands

A Challenge. The boat race on the river last
week appears to have attracted attention abroad.
Since our lust issue we received the following
letter wh'.ch speaks for itself:
Georgetown, June 20, 1874.
Kditor American : Sir I observed in your pa
per of yesterday that you offer to wager your
only copper pocket piece on the Sunbury man
that he would beat rowing a boat. We or
Georgetown rr.aks no pretensions to wager pock
et pieces, for they are "small." We have here
the natural water course of the river without
impediments. No dams for stilling the waters
which courses over the rocks nt McKec's Half
Falls, and which tries the skill of a good oars
man in gniding his craft through the boisterons
current. It is an easy matter to row in calm
water ; any one can 6ail on a smooth sea, but to
navigate skillfully through the rough waves re
quires athletic strength and eood judgment. We
are not given to wagering, but if your Snnbury
man beats, we can accommodate yon with ano
ther match to row through McKee's Half Falls,
and whichever ide is the looser, Sunbury or
Georgetown, they to pay for a catfish supper,
which, you know, can he got up by our laud
lords in the best style. Wc have a few oarsmen
here who would not mind giving a trial to the
Sunbury champiou rower. We are open for a
challenge ns statad the wager to be a catfish
supper for the wiuning party.
Yours, CAPT. JENKS.
