Br-iP A bill for the incorporation of the
Morrison's Cove Railroad, is now pending in
the Legislature. This road is to run from
Pattonsville, in this county, to Newry, Blair
county. We hope that the bill may pass and
that the "Covers" will go to work without de
lay to construct the road.

Cumberland Valley. The letter is not as ex
plicit tis we would like it to be. If we un
derstand the matter properly, we are under
the impression that the present School Board
menus well, though it may be mistaken in
regard to the extent of its powers.

during last week and the beginning of this,
and paid up the old score, or a year in ad

We would have been pleased to have seen
many more familiar faces who owe us a trifle
which we stand very much in need of, but we
hope they will be to see us ere long.

continued in session until late on Saturday,

BRIDGE SWEPT AWAY. —The old Hopewell
bridge, at Hopewell, this county, was swept
away on last Thursday or Friday night by the
gorging of a large quantity of ice on the Fur
nace dam, which swept everything in its way.
The piers of the bridge gave way below it.
leaving a wide gap which will have to be re
placed before Hopewell can resume commu
nication with Woodcock Valley. It is said
that it will cost 8 'IOO to replace the bridge in
a substantial and safe coudition.
EriP Here is something worth studying.
If any of our readers can solve it, and feel
the point, they are at perfect liberty to do- so.

A SAD ACCIDBNT—JOHN HARRISON TYITKK I
DROWNED.—"L" writes us, under date of
Hopewell, Feb. 18, 1867, the particulars of i
this sad event: —"i feel it my sad duty to j
acquaint you of the deep gloom that has fal j
len upon our community, by the sudden death j
by drowning, of Mr. Harry Typper, of this
place, and formerly of Martinsburg, Blair
county, between three and four, this after- j
noon. The circumstances connected with
this melancholy event are as follows The
great "ice freshet," that occurred on las*
Friday morning, carried away two spans of
the county bridge here, which entirely cuts
off communication between us and Yellow
Creek settlement. The citizens of Hopewell
in connection with our Yellow Creek friends,
immediately got to work to construct a tem
porary ferry, for our mutual benefit and ac
commodation.
Mr. Typper with his usual zeal and energy,
which was characteristic of the man, when he
could be the means of furthering the interest
and convenience of others, applied himself
to the accomplishment of this object.
A wire rope was procured that was stretch
ed from the remaining span of the brioge to
the opposite shore, and by this means the
boat was to be taken back and forth —the ear
rent being too swift for any other mode. The
ropes were adjusted, and three persons beside
himself got into the boat to try the experi
ment of taking the boat to the opposite shore.
When about one-third way across, the pulley
to which the rope was attached, refused to
work, and it was found necessary to get the
boat back to the place of starting : in doing
this, however, the rope, by some means got
loose from the boat, and Mr. Typper with
two others, was thrown into the water—the
two succeeded in getting into the boat again,
but he held on to the rope that had got loose
from the boat and that was attached to the
wire rope. He was not able to swim and the
boat in the meantime was being carried down
stream by the current. It was still hoped by
those watching the exciting scene, that
the men in the bout would reach him before
he would be forced by the rushing water to
let go. But notwithstanding their inantul ex
crtions to rescue hitn from from his perilous
situation, they were too late, his hold was
loosed, audhesank to rise no more, and what
adds still more to the sadness of his friends,
his body np to this time, has not been rescued.
He was about thirty years old, and has
been in the employ of Dowry, Eicbelberger A
Co., since the winter of 1831, and his servi
ces,andhis devoted attention to their interest,
was highly appreciated by them.
Harry, as he was familiarly called, had en
deared himself to every man, woman and
child in the community, by his genial dispo
sition, kindness of he.'.rt, and in short all the
noble qualities that constitute one of "na
ture's noblemen." and we all feel as if we
had lo3t a brother, l'o say we regret his
sudden death, but feebly expresses the deep
sadness, which seems to have settled on all.
lie leaves an aged christian mother, wife
and child to mourn his untimely end. He
was a model sou, husband and citizen.
"To know him was to love him,
To name him but, to praise."

BARN BURNED. — The barn belonging to Mr.
Henry Aughey, in Licking Creek Valley, Ju

on Sunday morning last, with all its contents.
It contained twenty-two head of cattle, near

of bay. Insurance only four hundred dol
lars. A little boy living with Mr. Aughey
was in the habit of carrying matches, and it
is supposed that he was playing with them in
the barn, and thus kindled * fire that he was
unable to extinguish.

Mrs. Bath went to the sleeping apartment,
and taking two of her youngest children, aged
two years, and six months, respectively, out
of bed anil wrapping her dress around them,
she went to the well and either jumped or
crawled in. She was soon missed and assist
ance called, and after considerable labor tbey
were all rescued, but in a drowning condition.
The mother and the eldest cbiid were resto
red to animation, but the babe is in a critical
condition. No cause is assigned to justify
this rash act.

ses, have been introduced into unhealthy regions,
their effects in sustaining the health, vigor and
animal spirits of those whose purmlt# subjected
them to extra* rdinary risks from exposure and
privation, have been wonderful. In the Army
the superiority of this article over every other
invigorating and alterative medicine has become
so manifest where u cd, that it is relied upeu,ex
clusively, as a protection against Billions Fever,
Kwer and Ague, and Bowel complaints of every
kind. The soldiers say it i* the only stimulant
which produces and keep? up a healthy habit of
body in unwholesome locations. For the unac
climatcd pioneer and settler it is the most relia
ble of all safeguards against sickness. Through
cut the United States it is considered the most
healthful and agreeable of all tonics, and alto
gether uneuualed as r. remedy for Dyspepsia. The
medicinal ingredients arc all vegetable, and are
held in solution by the most wholesome stimu
