Railroad accidents on the different roads ceu
erkig here, have been scarce this season. None

The Union Park Fair. The Executive Com
mlttee of tbe Union Park and Agricultural Asso
ciation, met on Saturday last, and appointed the
necessary committees for preparing the premium
list, and putting the grounds In order for the
Fair. From what we can learn the premiums
will be more liberal than any of our neighboring
Fairs, as an inducement to bring out the best ar
ticles for exhibition. Farmers are particularly
interested in the matter, and sbonld lend every
aid in co-operation with the officers to make a
better display of articles than has ever been wit
nested at a fair. We feel confident that the far
mers in the rich agricultural districts of North
umberland county cannot be excelled in raising
products of superior quality, which they will
feel a pride in exhibiting to the thousands who
will attend the fair. Now is the time to prepare
articles for cxhibltiou, and as the display is in
teuded to exccll all former efforts, every family
should prepare something, thus it can be made
to surpass any fair in the State. Northumber
land county has the material within her bounds to
do it, let her yeomanry come forward.
The Mcrdkr Trial. A jury was empanelled
on Saturday last, to try the case of Common
wealth vs. Levan, for the murder of Mahan.
The jury were kept together at the Central Hotel
over Sunday, in charge of tipstaves John Smith
and Philip Frank. Tbe case came up on trial
on Monday, and continued np to Thursday
evening. The testimony closed on Wednesday
and tho balance of the time was consumed by
able arguments of the attorneys and the charge
of the court. The case was submitted to the jury
in the afternoon of Thursday who returned a
verdict about 8 o'clock In the evening of vol
untary manslaughter. District Attorney J. K.
Clement conducted the trial for the Common
wealth, and Messrs. Oram A Wolverton on the
part of the defendant.
Meeting or thb Grand Lodob or Kniohts
or Ptthiab in Bunbcrt. The Grand Lodge of
the Knights of Pythias of Pa., will hold its an
nual session at this place next week, commenc
ing: on Tuesday. There will be some four or
five hundred representatives in attendance, be
sides several hundred past officers. These men
will come from all parts of the State, and we de
sire to see every citizen take an interest in mat
Ing them comfortable, and showing them the
great advantages our town possesses for wan a
factnring, and the natural scenery surrounding
ns the historic land marks that still exist, and
everything of interest. This grand body Is com
posed of some of the most practical business men
in the State, gentlemen of the highest respecta-
billty. A grand parade will Uke place on next
Friday, which will be largely participated in
by the Grand Officers, representatives and lodges
of our neighboring towns.
The session, which will be held in tbe court
house, kindly tendered to them by our county
officials, will be continued four or five days.
A Brigade or LoArERS. Our neighbor of the
Daily is now engaged in getting up a list of loaf
ers to stand around church doors when congre
gations are dismissed. If he will call at the cor
ner of Third and Market street, southwest side
he can have his list filled on any evening
First class chaps may be found there such as
elevate themselves (In their own opinion, but
with nobody else,) by making remarks of an Im
proper character as the ladies pass, and blocking
np the side walk entirely. They would do honor
to themselves as officers In our neighbor's bri
gade of loafers.
Mr. Hiram Bri baker, of this place, and for
merly of Halifax, Dauphin county, died on Tues
day last, after a lingering illness of that dreaded
disease, consumption. Mr. Brubaker was em
ployed on the Shamokin Division N. C. R. R.,
for several years, as foreman of repairs. He was
a quiet, unassuming, lionesi ana inausinous
man, highly esteemed by his neighbors, and
those who made his acquaintance. He leaves a
large family to mourn his. death. His remains
were conveyed to Halifax on Thursday, for inter
ment.
Promoted. We are pleased to learn that our
young friend, Mr. Orlando Krlcgbaum, of this
place, has been appointed traveling engineer on
the Baltimore and Potomac railroad. This is a
good and well merited appointment. Mr. K. is
a young man of excellent character, and ac
knowledged to be one of the best locomotive en
gineers on the N. C. railroad, aad he will no
doubt, in time, work bis way np to the front
rank in railroading ; he will certainly make his
mark wherever be may be placed. During the
rebellion, wbeu about 17 years of age, he enlist
ed in the army, and served with great credit un
til severely wounded aSnnt tfcs close of lb "nr.
May be live long and prosper in his life of use
fulness.
Camp Meeting Extensive preparations are
being made at Herndon for tbe ramp meeting,
commencing on tbe 27th Inst., at that place. A
large number of tents will be erected, and board
ing houses for the accommodation of visitors.
The meeting is calculated to continue for tea
days. Excursion tickets will be issued over tbe
railroads to those attending tbe meeting.
Mount Kirchnek. A few dars ago a party
of rpirited young men proceeded to Mt. Kirchner
with a pale "anlmilc," and a dump containing a
keg of "Cold Spring Fluid," to excavate the
fonndation of a residence for Mr. Kirchner, who
contemplates making his home on the brow of
the hill opposile.Shamokiu Dam, the surround
ings of which is to be laid out as a resort. It
is a lovely spot to while away a few hours on a
hot summer's day. The party on their return
home saw an apparition in tbe road which was
driven over the bank by brave Captain Hunter,
Since tbe suakes were burned out in that local!
ty, some of tbe spirits of defunct Indian chiefs
are said to oe novertng arouua mat -necK oi
woods.' If this is the case it won't be a very
pleasant place to live after all
Mr. Joseph Backer, formerly of Sunbury, now
residing in Richmond, Va., has been spending a
week in this place. Mr. B. runs a brewery la
Richmond. Joseph stL'i retains his loquacity,
and speaks (In a whisper) upon all subjects, from
politics to theology. Politically he is sanguine
that his colored neighbors will all vote with the
democratic party in a few years hence, and as
is do great admirer of the colored race he is
undecided as to which ticket lie will adhere to
WBen thl Ptica! millenium Is brought about.
The Shamokin papers are highly elated over
the prospect of a new depot iu that place. They
pay a deserved compliment to E. B. Westfall,
Esq., superintendent of the Shamokin Division,
for the Interest he has taken in relieviug them of
the nuisance called depot building at that place.
We hope the Shamokinites may be favored with
a building similar to ours, as they are certainly
entitled to a fine building from the amount of
shipping done over the road from that town.
Several more Democratic candidates are iu
the field to make hand shaking doubly interest
ing. This gives the Riug party who do tbe
regulating for the Democratic party in this coun
ty more trouble, as they will be compelled to
make more promise! for the future to those who
will be knocked off Hie track. By the looks of
things in that, party, every worthy man offering
himself a candidate for nomination will be de
feated at tbe County Convention, and those will
ing to submit to Ring rule will succeed. Then
every Democrat will be implored to stick to tbe
ticket.
Mr. Isaac Lkeser, residing on Fourth street,
this place, died oe Tuesday last, after a severe
illness. His remains were interred on Thursday,
under tbe supervision of tbe Good Intent fire
company, or wnicn ne was a member, and was
followed to the grave by the whole fire depart
ment, the members of the I. O. of R. M., and P.
O. 8. of A., and a large concourse of relatives
and friends. He was aged about 33 years, and
!eaves a wife and fonr children in destitute cir
cumstances. Wx have received tbe premium list iu pam
phlet fern of tbe Berks County Agriculture and
Horticultural Society, whose Fair will be held at
Reading on Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and
Friday, September 8th, 9tb, loth and 11th. Their
premiums are liberal and will attract a large
number of exhibitors. Mr. Cyrus T. Fox, the
Secretary, has our thanks for the pamphlet.
Thb passenger train coming north, on Thurs
day, due here at 6.30, a. to., was detained seve
ral hours on account of a wreck about a mile
this aide of Harrisbnrg. Tbe wreck was caused
by tbe breaking of a rail. An employee on the
road was seriously injured, and several others
somewhat bruised. Tbe cars were considerably
damaged.
At thxrk will be a number of strangers visit
ing out town during next week, who will be in
attandtnee at the annual session of the Grand
Lodge of the Knights of Pythias, it may not,
probably be out of place to point out some of the
notable places of interest, and take such as may
be Interested to places where our magnificent
scenery presents itself to the best advantage,
Members of the Order here should not neglect to
accompany them to places of historical interest,
and relate the facts connected with their history,
Immediately in our neighborhood when all was
yet a wilderness, if history and legend are cor
rect, acts of bravery, love and friendship, in de
fence against their savage enemy who made this
place and vicinity their home and hunting ground
were performed that might vie with that of Da
mon and Pythias. Among practical matters we
would point out tbe lumber mills, machine shops.
foundries, and other manufactories ; the advan
tageous position we occupy for business of all
kinds, and the progress tbe town has made with
in tbe last decade. A visit to the Shamokin
dam, and Mount Pleasant, from which the sce
nery is so generally admired, as well on account
of its extent as Its picturesqueness, would be
great treat ; Fort Augusta, the Bloody Spring,
tbe Cold Spring ; Blue Hill aud Mason's Hill,
from which may be viewed the most extensive
and beautiful scenery existing any where along
the Susquehanna river.
The battle ground around Fort Augusta will
perhaps furnish as interesting an historical re
collection as could be given to make an impres
sion cpou them of their visit to our town. The
battle was fought cn these grounds between the
French troops and the Delaware and other tribes
of Indians, assisted by the early settlers, during
the French and English war.the Indians being led
by tbe distinguished Chief Shickalamy. It was
at that time Suubnry was burnt, and the in
habitants of the Susquehanna valley were com
pelled to seek safety in tbe mere thickly settled
portions of the 8tate. It was upon old Fort Au
gusta, during the American revolution, the ear
ly settlers depended as a defence against the sa
vage hordes that lurked among the thickets of
which our lowlands are so productive. Here their
lives were in constant jeopardy, whether in the
field at labor or in pursuit of their savage foe.
Many of the places around us, some of which
we have incntioned.bave their legends attached in
connection with tbe struggle which resulted in
American independence, some of which are high
ly interesting. Let none of our numerous visi
tors of next week return home without full
knowledge of our town and Its reminiscences.
Siiamokik. While on a visit to this place, a
few days since, we were surprised to find bow
much the march of improvement has effected in
the last few years. These Improvements are,
many of them, not ouly substantial and useful,
but as our neighbors are growing more affluent in
circumstances, they manifest a greater degree of
taste and design than' formerly in the construc
tion of their buildings and premises. Shamokin
with the vast mineral wealth tbat surrounds it,
will always be tbe centre of a trade and traffic
that must add every year to its prosperity and
improvement. This Improvement Is not confined
alone to the town. The whole valley, from Bun
bury to Shamokin, exhibits the most striking ev
idence of Improvement, particularly In the cul
ture of the soil. The crops on many of the
farms, will compare favorably with those on our
river bottoms, and their productiveness has, in
some instances, doubled their value In the last
decade.
Good Management. We notice that since
Mr. E. B. Westfall has charge of the Shamokin
Division of the N. C. R. R., that very few acci-
donts occur on that branch. There was a time
when accidents, and some very serious ones, oc
curred almost daily, and the 'wreck car' was
employed constantly in clearing away the re
sult of the smash-ups along tbe line. Of late
nothing serious has occurred, and we uuder
staud that a high compliment was lately paid by
the bead officials of the Pennsylvania R. R. Co.
to Mr. Westfall for his efficient management.
Theie are bnt few railroad men who are more
deserving of such a compliment.
We frequently receive communications for
publication of a curious character, which prove
that there Is yet plenty of room for advance
ment In education, and that schoolmasters had
bitter stay at borne Instead of going forth to ed
ucate the 'Heathen Chinee' aud other heathens.
The following was handed us this week, which
we publish rtrbatim tt littralim. It Is a specimen
of stuff frequently received by printers which is
expected to be converted into sense and fine rhe
toric, or AkAMK t I soil! ' hen sent. Hear

The Sukburt Cattle Insurance Compant.
We have been informed that the old Cattle Insu
rance Company have. 853,041 25 in premium
notes, good, bad and indifferent. The directors
agreed lately to levy an assessment on these
notes to pay off all the Indebtedness of the com
pany, and close up tbe affairs finally. Notice
will be glveu to thoee who have given notes to
pay tbe aaettneuls, aud if not paid within a li
mited time suit will be brought for tbe collection
of the full amount of the notes with costs for
collection.
Boat Rack. A boat race came off on tbe river
at this place on Friday evening last, which was
witnessed by several hundred persons. The con
testants were Messrs Roy, G angler and Trutt.
The rowing was for the champion flag, which
was won by Mr. James Roy of this place. Seve
ral fine rowing boats have lately been built at
this place, and some more exciting rowing
matches are iu prospect.
Messrs. J. J. Smith and II. F. Mann, started
for Washington city on Monday last, to take pos
session of four pieces of cannon awarded by Con
gress, to be placed at tte base of the soldiers'
monument, in Market street Park, in this plaeo.
As soon as they are pluced iu position, it is sup
posed, the gates of tbe park will be closed topre
veut injury to the cows which have had a
lodgment within the enclosure during the sum
mer by tbe couseut of the borough couucil.
An item of interest to every one is the rule laid
dowu by the new edition of the Postmaster
General's Guide, relative to the transmission of
newspapers. "After January 1st, 1875. every
newspaper received at an office for delivery, is
held to be prepaid, the fact that it is in the mail
being conclusive proof of payment. For all
papers published ouce a week and oftener, tbe
rate of postage, under tbe new law, is two cents
a pound ; papers published less often than once
a week, three cents a pound. Tbe money for
this postage must accompany the bag containing
the mail matter, and be paid to the postmaster,
who will hand to the messenger a stamp or
stamps equal thereto cancelled before delivery,
or some special design of stamp that will be pro
vided by the Post office Department.
Base Ball. On Monday last, the first of tbe
three games of base ball was played at Milton
for the championship of Northumberland coun
ty, between the 'Beauxsprite Club" of this place,
and the 'Picked-up Nine' of Milton. The Beaux
sprite's came off victorious. They having a score
of 41 to Picked-up Nine 24. Tbe second game will
be played at this place, and the last at some
point not yet fixed.
Broke a Leg. A young son of James Shaw.
Esq., of Burlington, N. J., on a visit with his
mother to his grand parents, Mr. and Mrs. Sam
uel Gobiu, of this place, broke one of bis legs on
Mooday last, in attempting to get on a coal
train. He is but about seven years old, and In
climbing up the car was thrown backwards to
the ground, making a miraculous escape from
being killed instantly.
A Passenger train ou tbe L. & B. It. R., ran
over a cow above Danville, on Wednesday last,
and was precipitated over an embankment. Tbe
engineer was scalded somewhat, and tbe fire
man brused. No ouc was seriously injured. Tbe
cuglue was badly wrecked and tho cars much da
maged. A 81-nbckt justice got four bars of soap for a
marriage fee. He Is using it now to wash out all
recollection of the parties. rutibnrglt Comnttf

to marry off, think the present tbe dullce t season
for their bnskness they ever experienced.

charge of coustables Philip Frank and John
Smith who kept them under strict surveilance
until Monday morning, when they brought them
into court. On Sunday the Court gave the con
stables permission to take them to Methodist
church. It is difficult to give an opinion as to
the verdict in this case. The evidence is con
flicting, and not over intelligent.
A petition was presented to the Court signed
by over two hundred citizens of Lower Augusta
praying that the proper viewers be appointed to
divide the township. The petition ask that the
division line start at the Red nouse on the bill,
the property of Henry Shlpe, near the Greenough
farm, run southeast on such lines as not to
change or divide school districts to Shamokin
township. If tbe petition is granted the line will
be about as straight as a pretzel, aud iu all pro
bability will be the cause of a youug war among
our democratic friends in that ancient strong

Printing on Fruit. Boys and girls if you
wish to astonish any member of the family or
any coming guests by some day allowing them
to discover their initials neatly printed on a pear,
peach, or apple, as It hangs on the branch, this
is the way to carry out your plan: Just before
the fruit ripens, cut tbe initials from thlu, tough
paper, and paste them on the side of the fruit
most exposed to the sun. When, in the course
of time, you remove tte paper from the surface,
you will find tbe letters distinctly marked upon
it. There are other ways of printing on fruit,
but this is most simple.

Valve for Stationary and Loeonio
tlve Engines.
HAVING within the lust few years completed
the invention of a Steam Slide Vale design
ed for the purposed of removing the pressure
from the valve as it exists at pesent, we will
warrant for six months and place one in any Lo
comotive, any Ocean Steamer, any Inland Stea
mer or any other stationary euginc. It is simple,
ebeiip, effective aud indestructable ; and saves
fuel and machinery. It moves its weight only.
No alteration in any part of the machinery is re
quired to apply it, and the time occupied in sub
stituting it for the ordinary 'D' valve need not be
over half an hour.
frtvIt is indispensable at the mines where hoist
ing is done. With this valve the engine can be
reversed without shutting otf tbe steam, thus
saving time and avoiding labor. This valve can
he moved easily with ooc baud when sqrrouuded
by uny amount of pressure. Address

THE KING BARBER SHOP
18 THE SHOP OF THE TOWN and long
has been ; ask history and she will tell you
Men have grown old In our patronage
Babies on their mothers' breast
To bouncing boys at play ;
And youths by maidens fair caressed,
To stalwart men with cares oppressed,
And old men silver gray.
And among the honored and lasting impres
sions of time, and the crash of revolutions in
circumstances, we stand a living monumental
memento of the ingenuity and perseverance ap
pertaining to the identity of progression, plying
our vocation with the highest style of art and
perfection, and aspiring to achieve the highest
reward of merit attainable In our humble capaci
ty, and tbe sentiment of respect and approbation
which the presence of superior appliances and es
tablishment are always wont to inspire.
Always to please
We shave with ease
Cut and comb with taste the hair ;
Shampoo the head with soothing care,
And color the whiskers black or brown,
To suit the people about the town.
Then allow me politely request yon to stop,
And not go past nor from around our shop.
To get shaved on the basis of ability nor as
some have done for our use of tbe ballot for prin
ciple sacred and right nor under the common
secret and invidious gnise of enmity to complex
ion ; for tbe cut of a man's coat, or tbe eolor of
bis skin, ought not to affect his nsefulness nor
bis qualifications. A fair chance ia all tbat we
demand, to give the proof to all the land.
