ACCIDENTS.— Conrad Felton, of New

Southampton Mi'ls, Somerset county,
which resulted fatally. A bank of
earth caved in on him, and when ex
tricated life was almost extinct.

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.
