FATAL ACCIDENT.— We are pained to record the death of our friend John Filler, of East Providence township, from the effects of an accident which Oe fel hid last Wednesday week. Mr. Fil ler was riding a colt which shied, dis mounting the rider, and throwing him with great violence on his head. Theun forturate man remained alive but in sensible for five days, when lie died. Mr. Filler was an honest, upright man and highly esteemed by all who knew liim. Peace to his manes! The Fars. Mut. Fire Ins.

A bank of earth caved in on him, and when ex tricated life was almost extinct. One day last week, Mr. Weaver, re siding near New Baltimore. met with a painful accident while cutting a tree j which, in filling,struck another,break ing a limb, which falling struck him j on the leg bieaking both bones near j theancle.

RETIRED. —William Hartley, Esq., h ts retired from the firm of Hartley A Metzger, and the business will hereaf ter te carried on at the old stand, by the latter. Mr. Hartley has for many years devoted special attention to the introduction of labor saving farm ma chinery, with a success truly astonish ing. Being a practical farmer himself, he always anticipated the wants of the agricultural community, and supplied our farmers with the proper imple ments to facilitate their labors. The farm department will be kept up by "Sol." who will continue to shine at the old corner. Everything new and useful in his line of business can al ways be had at Metzgcr's including the best and safest coal oil lamp ever in vented. A CHIGNON SAVED HER. —It can be no longer said that the huge mass of hair worn on the head of "God's best gift to man," is more ornamental than useful. The idea that the lump of hair worn by the ladies, called a chignon, is a useless appendage, has been exploded. The editor of the Wheeling Register is now convinced of the usefulness of chignons. A beauti ful young lady friend of his, while trip ping over the icy pavement, slipped a.'.d fell, striking her head on an iron doorstep with such force as to stun her for a few minutes. He ran to her as sistance and found that although stun ned she was not hurt, and the only in jury she sustained was that the sharp corner of the step had ruined the 'fix ings' on her head. He advises ladies to wear big, fat chignons, being con vinced that although not beautiful, they are useful. DESTRUCTI V E Fi RE. — Davidson's Carpenter Shop and Contents Consumed. —The usual quiet of our town was dis turbed by theory of "fire!" on Thurs day last. It was soon ascertained that the destructive element was at work on the carpenter shop of John David son, just outside of the western limits of the borough. By the timeour "vol unteer fire department" reached the scene, the fire had gained such head way that it was found impossible to prevent the destruction of the building, and all efforts were directed to save the closely adjacent houses. With an ad verse wind this might not have been an easy task as the shop was filled with sash, doors ami other prepared lumber and made a vary large and threaten ing fire. Everything in the shop was i destroyed, and the loss to Mr. David son is estimated at from twelve to fif teen hundred dollars. No insurance. BRAINARD'* MUSICAL MONTHLY.— The March number of this valuable musical monthly is received, filled to overflowing with beautiful new music, both vocal and instrumental, and in teresting reading matter. The present number contains 'Only Thine,' song and chorus, 'Sweet Flower, Emblem of Purity,' a ballad, and the 'Robin Redbreast Sehottisch,' for piano. This music alone is worth sl.oo—the price of the Musical World a year; and in addition to this amount of choice mu sic each month, a great variety of val uable and instructive reading matter UShupttft ttrfefoviy* pn> is given, consisting of musical sketch- ! es. stoiies, news, gossip, hints and in- j teiligence from all parts of the world, j We advise all our readers who are mu sically inclined to serd *i.UU to 8. Brainard & Sons, Cleveland, 0., and t u ey will receive the Musical World one year; or send ten cents, and spec imen copies will be sent by return mail. OUR RAILROAD PROSPECTS.— The j latest rumor in regard to the extension ; of the Huntingdon and Broad Top Railroad, from Mt. Dallas to thispieces 1 is that competent engineer,will survey j the route as soon as the weather is fa- : vorable, and tnake estimates of the ! probable cost of construction. The j old route with its expensive tunnel in Snake Spring township is to he aban- : dnned and a more economical one a- j dopted. Several propositions have been made to the H. A B. T. Railroad Company by the Kemble Coal and I ron Co. and other parties owning the valuable mineral lands about Bedford, and when all who have an interest in the extension of the road can come to an understanding the road may he con sidered a fair probability.' Whether our citizens will in the end he called upon to contribute their vhare towards building the road, will b? seen, but in that case we should not stand in our own light, but come up manfully to the work. CENSUS TAKERS.—Many of our ex changes speak of a flutter among ap plicants for appointment ascensus-tak- j ers. Applicants are numerous, and j the marshals of the different districts j are likely to be Importuned for some ! time to come. Congress having reject- i ed the ru w p.lan proposed, the census j for this year will be taken on thesame j ba=is as in 1850 and 1860. The assis- 1 tants are appointed by the marshals, and the enumeration having to be com menced on the first day of June, and ; the census com pleted and the returns) all sent in to the Secretary of the In- j terior by the first of November, is caus ing some activity on the part of tie I marshalsandstirring up anxious appii- ; cants for assistant marshalships. Etch i State is divided into census distr.cts, j to he composer! of not less than twenty thousand persons, and the enumerator j being paid two cents for every name t ikon, ten cents for every farm, fifteen onts for every productive establish- j ment of industry, two cents for every deceased person, and two per cent, of ! the gross amount for names enumerat ed for social statistics, and ten cents per j mile for travel, the compensation of assistants will be from S6OO to SI,OOO. This makes it a rather desirable job, j and induces many to work hard to procure the position. Sr. PATRICK'S DAY.—' The 17th is emphatic-ally Ireland's day, and her children should testify their apprecia tion of St. Patrick, by honoring and respecting the day in the most be coming manner. Popular legends have ascribed to St. Patrick many miraculous achieve ments, among which was the banish ment of all venemous reptiles from Ire land by means of a crosier, or staff, which is said to have been preserved with great veneration in Dublin as late as the year 1360. According to the best authority the life of St. Patrick was a very eventful one ; some writers state that he was born in Gaul in 373, but tne greater number agree that ho w is born at the mouth of the Clyde, in Scotland, in 372, and died at Cown, in Ulster, about the year 464. in the year 432 he began his missionary la bors in Ireland, and preached the gos pel with wonderful effect. While preaching to the Irish he used the shamrock or clover with its three leaves on the stem to illustrate the Trinity, this accounts for its adoption by the Irish nation as its emblem. — Perhaps no missionary ever accom plished a greatef work than St. Pat rick, or one uioije productive of good results; his life Was passed in a rude age, and is consequently obscured by tradition, but the good effect caused by his preaching will continue forev er. The New Hampshire State election resulted in the success of the Republi cans, but by a greatly reduced majori ty'. Governor Stearns will have a ma j trity of about 1,600 over the three op ptdng candidates. His majority last year was 3,773, and Grant's majority wis 7,647. The Democrats have made s >me gains in the Legislature, but not enough to effect any result in combi n ition with the Labor Refortners.- Tte popular vote shows that the Re ft tblicatis hold their own in the State, while the Labor Reform party draw all their strength from the Democratic ranks. A willow tree twenty-five years old was recently cut down on the premises of A. J. Howell, Spruce Hid town ship, Juniata county, Pa., measuring f irty four inches in diameter, to a height often feet. It had six branches measuring from twelve to eighteen inches in diameter, and out of one branch a saw log sixteen feet long was taken, and out of the remaining five branches five pieces of timber sixteen feet long, six by seven inches, were hewn. The refuse of the tcp and chips from the broad axe made one and half cords of wood. The missing steamer Sch midt, fifty days out from Bremen, came in safely ito New York on 11th inst. She expe rienced violent gales, her engine was ; damaged, and she was obliged to lay to for twelve days for repairs. The cap tain says that while thus disabled two • Fnglish ships passed by and refused to Uii-vviT his signals. The Schmidt : brought 290 passengers, aud all weio ' well In spite of a long and dangerous | voyage. Erie for many months has been troubled by incendiaries or "tire boys" as they are now called. The detect- I ives have been quietly working the ea*n up and their laoors have culmin ated in the arrest of Edward Frich Peter Later anfl Philip Metz. The hous -holders of Erie now sleep placid ly. The Dominican Republic has formal, ly declared in favor of annexation to the United States. The vote through out the country shows an overwhelm ing majority in the affirmative. The towns of Santiago La Vega and Azua led the demand for annexation. The French carry on a successful war against the natitcs in their colony of Senegal, on the western coast of Afri ca (north of Liberia). On the 9th ul timo tliey won a victory over an army of negroes four times the size of their own. Governor Austin, of Minnesota, has signed the bill submitting the question of woman suffrage to the vote of the men and women of the State, and it is a law. The trial by vote Is next in order, and Miss Anthony is wanted on the stump until election day. Iron pokers are the latest improve ments in school discipline in Indiana. The result of their first introduction is not quite sati dory, however, being a boy kille- , and a teacher in prison, with a g< JO chance of hanging. An unsuccessful attempt was made the week before last to rob the resi dence at Leonard Si peeper, of Barren Hill, Montgomery county. This is the fourth attempt, by burglars to break into Mr/Streeper's house. President Grant's name is unpleas antly connected with numerous little schemes for land plunder. The various mints are making prepa rations for an increased use of coin. To clean marble: llub first with so da and soft-soap, then wash as usual with water. A western editor designates his "hated rival over the way" as an "au burn-haired warbler." MARRIED. ALDSTADT—BOWSER— l On the 13th inst.. at the Reformed parsonage in Schellsburg, by Rev. N.
