RUN OFF.— On Monday while Mr. George Moyer, near town was mowing grass a*wheel of the mower cracked with a considerat lo report % which frightened the horses and started them to run. Mr. Moyer was somehow thrown from the reaper, but fortunately not on the side where the cutter is, but the horses made off at full speed and when caught the reaper was a wreck. How fortunate that matters are not worse. Clark y Frankenberger offers his home, near town, at private sale.

PBTOISON'S MAG AZINE for July is on our tab ahead, as usual. Every number of this mag azine has some special feature, aul the one, this month, is an illustrated article on "Royal Beauties of This Century." Among other por traits given is one of Louis. Queen of Prussia, mother of the present German Emperor, one of the most beautiful women That ever lived, if we may judge front this engraving. Then there is a colored fashion plate; a colored pattern; numerous spirited wood engravings; designs in embroidery, and a score or more of the newest fashions in dresses, hats, bonnets, £c. The stories are even better than usual, and that is saying a great deal. Among them are the open ing chapters of a powerful novelet, "The l.ost Talisman of Montezuma,' by a new contribu tor, besides other original tales,all by first-class American writers. The price of "Peterson" is but two 'dollars a year. In clubs, six copies are sent for nine dollars, with an extra copy for a year as a premium, to t ire person getting up the club. Unquestionably "Peterson" is the ''cheapest, os j rel! as Vie test," as the publisher claims. Specimens are sent, gratis, to persons wishing to get up clubs. As a new volume bo gins with the July number, now is a capital time to subscribe. Address CH.VS. J. PETEK sox, Chesuut c treet, Philadelphia, Pa. —The following beautiful and deserv ed tribute to a neighboring valley and town and their clever and hospitable people, we clip from the Lcwiaburg Chronicle: West Susquehanna Classis of the Reformed church which met 111 Rebers burg on the ltkh alt., adjourned to meet iu Selonsgrovj on the first Wed nesday of May 1831. From tile follow • ing extract from the proceedings of the late meeting, we are led to believe that tender chickens do much abound in Brush Valley: "The only fault to find with this yrliey is its name, Brush Valley witnoiit the brush. Instead of brush it is a valley of broad fertile fields. In no other vtlley does the earth yield her increase mor3 bounti fully. The very sight of the waving grain maketh glad the heart of man. Nestled in the heart of such rural fer tility, Rebersburg's cup of plenty lit erally runeth over. Tiie valley is nar row, but the hearts of the people are large, and greatly given to hospitality. Never did families open their doors wider and load their tables heavier for guests.—The pastor loci is in this re spect also an exam lo to his flock. The physician of the town is in no wise found behind in this grace of hospital ity. We liked his prescriptions. True, he insisted on large doses, but they were not hard to take." SPRING MILLS ITEMS. Quite a Hancock booinliere. [Yes, everywhere. —Editor.] Thomas Hoover, while working in a well fell down some 18 feet. lie was laid up for a few days. A little daughter of Ira Barger fell of a horse breaking her arm. She is getting aloug as well as can be expec ted. Some unknown person entered Miss Cassey Rishel'a house while she w;i3 at the barn and stole some £9O in sold and silver. Hope the thief may be found out and brought to justice. Our farmers are all busy harvesting, which comes unusally early this year. Will have about two thirds of a crop in this neighborhood. How about the "glorious Fourth," and will it strike Spring Mills? It should not be entirely ignored. Hope something may yet bt doue. And lastly—the wedding of Dr. F. H. VanValzah of this place and Miss Jennie R. VanValzah, of Mifllnburg by Rev. James D, Wilson, of New York. The happy couple are on a tour to Niagara and other places. The best wishes of the entire community are with them.

OMAIIA, June 13, 1880. Lock Ilttyen Democrat: Dear Sirs—l beg leave for a space in the columns of your widely circulated paper, for the benefit of those contem plating emigrating to the West with a view of making it their home; and to show the suffering condition of those who have within the past five years em igrated to the States of Kansas, Nebra ska and the mining'districts of Colora do. Knowing (as I do) that many of the readers of your valuable paper will be beneiitted thereby, lam sure it will be conducive to their interest to know the exact condition of the above States. I have found in ray travels through out many counties of Kansas, Nebras ka and the mining districts of Colora do, that people with limited means would be far better off if they totally ignore the advice of the great and illus trious Horace Greely, viz: "Go West," and remain in the East, no matter lunc humble their homes may be. The wneat crops in many counties of Kansas for the past two years have been an entire failure, especially those in the southeastern portion of that State, and this year there will only be one-fourth of a crop throughout the en tire State. The tide of emigration is now flowing much faster than emigra tion has ever been, many of the unfor tunates going farther west to Oregon and Montana. While the majority are working their way back to their former homes in the East, many of thera are too poor to get away and are letfc with starvation staring them in the face, with no possible way to keep the "grim wolf" from them without aid from her sister States. For an illustration, I was brought in contact with one fam ily to day who were meandering back to their old homes in a truly pitiable state, entirely destitute of the necessi ties that make life even bearable. The family to whom I refer left their home in Kansas with nothing but a small push cart. When tliej reached this pl.ice they had traveled 280 miles on foot and have vet to go 100 miles he ore they reach their former home in lowa. There were twelve in tii£ fam ily. The mother had a babe at her breast only six months old, and the re maining eight children ranging from that up to nineteen years of age. They tell me in nil time were forty-three families, to their personal knowledge, left Wilson county, and are now on their way to the East. I can truthful ly say that portions of Nebraska are no better than Kansas, for in many places they have not received any rain since last fall. A word now to the young men who have the Leadville fever. My advice is STAY EAST. I must confess I was much disappointed. Denver is a busy town, but outside this place thert; is not much ot Colorado. You may be lieve as much as you please about East ern people doing well here and set the rest down as all talk—nothing more. For instance, I met a carpenter here from the East. lie was glad to see one from Penn. He received $2.25 per day in the East. At Denver he gets $2.50 per day. It costs him $3.50 per week to live in the East. In Denver $7.50 at the lowest, and not as good as you can live in Lock Haven for $3. All whom I have heard of from the EclSt as doing well, with one exception, would gladly be back to their old homes, if it Was not for pride or fear that they could not get their old jobs. I have seen young men in Denver and Lead ville working at common laborers' work on small pay, scarcely enougli to eKe out a scant living on. I have ev ery reason to believe they were raised in the "lap of luxury," and never knew what it was to wish a second time for any thing that a parent of wealth and influence could procure for them until they came West, After living in the mining towns young men, generally speaking, do not care to break off their associates as they fall into the prevalent habit to which every ono from the newsboy to the merchant seems addicted, viz, gam bling. The road from Denver to Leadville is lined with prospectors, gamblers, banko steerers , cut throats and thieves. Nearly all that.have money start back after staying there a day or two, but the majority "go broke" and fly to the drinking aud gambling shops to see if they cannot pick up enough to get away with. Poor devils come to Den ver from Leadville on every train and present sorry sights. It is a shame for veteran newspapers, in whom its pa trons place confidence, to sell their birthrights to railway companies for the purpose of inducing poor peopl eto come out here. That there Is a large amount of wealth in Minerals in the mountains no one can doubt, biit there are from three to.four times as many people in Col orado as it can support. I am nt'yreseilt in Omaha, working in a wholesale furniture store. Omaha is a beautiful town of from 30,000 to 35,000 inhabitants, but like all olhei Western towns, it is over-run. I met a good many Pennsylvanians here. Some are doing very well, others not so well, and are anxious to be back home. The main mechanical branches that are in a thriving condition are bricklayers and carpenters. While in Leavenworth, Kansas, 1 met Lock Haven's old townsman, Dr. J. M. MeCormick, who is doing a large practice. Well for fear of monopolizing too much of your valuable space, i will close. Respect fully, 11. A. FINLAYSON. News Miscollnny. llev. F. W. Conrad, editor ot the Lutheran Observer, it is said, has committed to memory the entire hymn book of the Lutheran church, and when giving them out quotes the num ber of the hymns and recites them cor rectly with out looking at the book. ATTEMPT AT ABDUCTION. The Charlie Ross Game Nearly Suc oeesful in Wisconsin. MILWAUKEE, Wis., .June 23.— While Bertie Sherman, aged 12 years, was re turning from school yesterday after noon he was induced to get into a bug gy in which there were two men who tied bis hands, blindfolded him and drove rapidly away. When about thir teen miles from the city he jumped from the buggy, notwithstanding their threats to kill him, and a farmer com ing to the rescue, the men escaped. A detective is on their track. The boy's parents are wealthy, and the kidnap ping was doubtless for the purpose of securing a reward for his return. \V hen the army worm visited the farm of Reuben Bailey, in Marple township, Delaware county, Instead of attacking the grain and grass they climed a pine tree and stripped it of everything green.
