wagon. While driving along the back
strap bioke and in consequence the animal
became unmanageable and upset the wag
on, throwing out the two ladies. Mrs.

Kline;; she alledges it was for poisoning
rats, and that her husband must have tak-

Kline died, it is said, he and Clark were
in the field at work and Mrs. Kline carried
their dinner to thein, but in scparato bas

Somewhat of an excitement prevails
throughout Bru*hvalley with regard to a
recent astronomical discovery among the
luminary bodi. s. The tact is that a comet
appears after 10 o'clock at night almost
direct north, and war is predicted bv our
"Grandfathers" as an inevitable conse
quence. Methink- it may be the shir for
our present war which continues to rage
among all our potato farmers.

FourUi of July was a happy season tor
our young America. Although we were
intruded upon by rain, yet the fire of "76

works, and, although it was dark, yet the
streets wore at times lighted up almost
as bright as at noonday.

Hay making and the greater part of har

again subsided. The hay crop at some
places was middling good and at others ve

Tlio Hit of July Storm.
GREAT DESTRUCTION IN CENTRE
COUNTY.
The storm on the afternoon of July 4th,
which visited portion* of Central Pctm a,
was one of the ino-t tri rifle that ever pass
ed through this tate dealing with hou
ses, bain-, trees, A. . ie though the.v were
but chart'.
In our own county great damage was
done to building- and crops in some local
ities. Emanuel Mu-ser's barn, at llouser
s ille, was unrooted and the hail out down
his corn and wheat Win Thompson
brick dwelling had the gable end blown
in and the roof blown ort' Two of Moses
Thompson barns wore unrooted, and the
roof of the church nt Lomotil was raised
and the chuioh otherwise damaged. Mr
Show alter in tho >aino neighbor hood, had
.V.' panes of glass broken by tho hail ami u
large wagon with the bay-ladder* capsis
ed
In Harris lowusbip, on some fatiut, th<
wheat and corn crop i- completely d>-
stroyed, and in some hold* the ground is
while with gram thrashed out by the
hall.
Along Buffalo Run the storm and bail
did the greatest damage, and nearly laid
waste that entire section. Seven or eight
barn* were unrooted and otherwise dam
aged, and many of it- hardworking far
uier- have their entire crop destroyed
Among the sutler. r thus left destitute is
Mr. John Mu-ser, who, besides the de
struction of hi* crop* ha* sustained dama
ges to his buildings Mr. Zeller barn
was also unroofed.
Fences, trees, sheds, Ac., were pretty
generally demolished at Buffalo Run. The
hail, a* account* agree, in the track of
this hurricane, was M inches iu diameter,
and under such terrible missiles, coming
from the clouds and receiving additioua!
velocity by the storui, there was no chance
for a stock of corn or wheat escaping One
man was slrm k upon the l and by one of
these hailstones and had his finger-bene
broken.
Eastward of Joshua Potter s there was
no damage in the valley, aud the tain and
storm here were not unusual. Along the
Bald Eagle V. K K , there was also con
siderable damage. M" Mile* Alexander's,
burn, near the railroad was completely
wrecked, and damage done to fences, trees

TERRIFIC STORM!
SIX LIVES LOST!
SIOO,OOOPROPERTY DESTROYED. ,
| Fall of the River Bridge—Glamorgan
Furnace No. 2 in Ruins —Tower of"!
Lutheran Chutch Blown Down—
Presbyterian Church I nroofed —
Fifty More Buildings Destroyed oi|
Injured.
The Lewislown Gaxelle says: About
three o'clock in the afternoon a thunder
storm approached from the west and anoth
er from the north, and the two scorned to
mingle in fury directly over the town,
causing such a war among its elements
that stout-hearted men, as well as women
and children, wercstruck wilblerror. The.
rear and din created by the rattling of rain
and hail, the howling of the wind and the
pealing of thunder wa* sttuply appalling
Suddenly the storm assumed ttio shape cfa '
tornado, and -wept over the town with ir
rcistable fury, prostrating building-, trees
and fences in every quarter, and leaving
scarcely a single property without at least,
some slight damage. About one and the
same moment the River Bridge was'lifted
from it* piers and thrown violently into'
the river-bed of tho stream, Glamorgan
Furnace No. "2 was crushed together as if
it* stone w alls had Ween paper, one end of
Blymyer's Brick Steam Mill on the canal
was prostrated, the Lutheran church tow
er was blown down, PresbTterian Church
unroofed, the Apprentices' llall was made
a wreck, and dissolation was spread in
every direction. Tho saddest part of the
story remains to be told. Three lire
were lost by the falling of the Bridge,
while a number of persons wero seriously
injured.
The Bridge
was regarded as a substantial structure,
having been used by the Penusylvania
Railroad Co. for the running of their
trains between Lewislown Junction and
Sunbury, as well as those of the Mif
flin and Centre Co. Branch. Iu length
was 62!) feet, and tho height of the floor
above low water mark aboutS4 feet. The'
force of the. storm was exhibited in the
lifting up of tbi* immense structure and
iU being hurled bodily from iU piers. The
timbers of which it was composed were
stretched from shore U shore in a mass ot
indescribable confu-ion, but so firtnly.
packed together by the fall that they
could be safely traversed the whole dis
tance.
It is difficult to estimate the loss occa
sioned by the destruction of the bridge,
but it will not fall far short of $25,000.
At the Furnace the work of destruction
and death was complete. One of the large
chimney-stacks, over 100 feet high, gave
way before the tornado, and fell directly
across the works, demolishing the boiler
hou.-e. The walls of the casting-house al
so collapsed, and buried iu their ruins
three boy* who had been engaged in play
within.
The loss sustained by the Glamorgan
Co. will amount to from $20,000 to JUS,OOO.
The coal schutes of the Susquehanna
Coal Co, wore blown over, the tru*sel
work ar.d truck remaining uninjured, how

arid u portion of the gublo wall thrown
down. Loss about $o<)0.
Blymers" Mill, on the canal bank, had
one end demolished, together with the en-1
gine house, and portions of the machinery.
Loss about $2500 The cooper shop
connected with the mill was also damaged
considerably. The handsome store build
ing and residence of the same firm, on the
corner of Market street and the Diamond,
was also damaged to the extent of about
SSOO, by the blowing down of the fire wall
on one side and the wrenching off of the
iron railing around the front balcony.
Chestnut Hall, adjoining the Blymyer
building, and owned and occupied by D.
Grove, was sevetely injured by the falling
of the gable of the former upon its roof,
which was crushed in, admitting the rain,
whtclndid as much more damsgc in the
interior. Loss fully SSOO.
The Coleman House had its (in roof
blown off, part of which lodged in the ul
ley in the rear and part In Water street, a
full block beyend. The walls "were con
siderably shattered, also, arid great dam
age was done to furniture, Ac. The lots
will be about S2OOO.
The Lutheran church spire, 120 feet
high, was blown over, and fell directly
across Third street witn a Ireinendeous
crash.
At the Presbyterian church, the
slate roof on one side being entirely torn
off and on the other sideso badly damaged

The loss will probably reach $2-300.

'l'hc above eases aru ali entered on re

court. Also a record of all witness- -' co-t
--are kept in IheDistrict Att -rney - ffice and
open at all linias >->r the inspection of]
those interested or the public generally.
Every case has been disposed ol by the
consent and with the knowledge of the
court and is so entered on record.
r nnd any person wish it gto know what has
been done with any particular case can
learn that fact by examln ug the record
kept by the court in the l'rothor.otary >
offico. It won't lie, cither.
Some persons have an idea that the office
i worth from two to three thousand dol
lars a year. If any one through curiosity
wishe* to know what it is worth to me
they can readily calculate it, as the lull
number of cases are in the abovu list and
w ill avoragu fix e dollars and a half in each
case. The above list includes alnnt three
y- ars, making the offlceVurth to me frem
eight hundred to a thousand dollars ji
year.
If there were no violations of the law or
returns made to court, the office would not
be worth a cent to me, so the fewer the
returns to court the less 1 get.
As to witnesses costs, there is always u
bill made out in eTery case giving the
time and milage raeh witness is entitled to
and tha time when paid is entered and re
ceipted for by the party drawing the same
and tha bill filed away ia the office. Wit
nesses are entitled to one dollar and a half
a day and six cent- milage for each mile
traveled one way. They only get cost.•
!for each day in actual attendance. If a
case closes the evening ol any day. they
are not allowed costs for the next day.
Witnesses often think I ought to pay their
costs whether the samo ha* been paid te
me or not. I did do it in the Richard
j murder case to the sum of two hundred
, il.illars and also on a few ottier cases, not
until I was several times prevailed upon
through the parlies arguing to me that
they were poor and had nothing to pay
their board bills, Ac. I did it to ac-|
|commodate them without receiving one
cent discount for the favor. I also ex- 1
ported that as soon as I presented it to
the commissioners they would pay it back
as it was always the custom to do in such
ca-es. They refused doing it until Rich
ard's time is up in the l'enitcnliary, there
by leaving me over Eve hundred dollars
paid out of my pocket as witness costs, in
which the county will eventually be liable
to pay s soon as the prisoners are dis
charged from the custody of the {law—tlio
record will show'all of these facts. Wit
nesses can always find out wlietlier costs
have been paid to me or not. As there
are only three parties that can be made
liable: the prosecution, defendant and tl.o
county, and in no instance is it my duty to
pay the costs until they have been paid to
me.
Witnesses'are often put to great in
convenience, in relation to costs by not
being able t get them when the case lias
been disposed of by tho court. For in
stance, when a dctendant has been con
victed and sentenced to penitentiary, (it
matters not for how long a time,) the
Commonwealth's witnesses cannot get
their costs until after tho defendant is dis
charged from prison—unless the defend
ant voluntarily pays them, and not once in
a thousand limes is he able to pay them.
A number of enses are in that situation at
present. A law was passed by the lust
legislature which will meet this class of
cases hereafter.
The District Attorney it required to
keep a strict account of nil mutters rolutiiifc
to the business of his office under the fol
lowing; pennlty :
"If nny District Attorney hul! willful
ly and corruptly dciuund, take, or receive
any other fee or reward ilian such as i
prescribed by law for any official duties
required by him in any criminal proceed
ing, or if such District Attorney shall be
guilty of willfifl and gross negligence in
the execution of the duties of his office, he
shall be guilty of a misdemeanor in office,
and on conviction thereof be sentenced to
pay a tine not exceeding one thousand dol
lars and to undergo an imprisonment not
exceeding one year and his said office shall
be declared vaeant,"
I will answer any questions relating to
the business of my office either personally
or through the paper where a party asks
the information over his own name.

Union county is bleed with a bounti

most of it in the barns. The gras and,

of all kin-is is expected to be in abundance
this season.

Our old friend, Jonathan Fry, residing
in LewLburg, formerly from Centre coun-|

erecting an eitensive grist-mill, which he
intends tn have in running order in about
two months, when he will tear down
the old " Br.>w n Mill, which still bea's
the imprints of the mukcl bails of the In
dians, for whom it served a- a target 141

Harti r Bro's, proprietors of the steam

most of their leather from the hides of

stock of a superior quality.
The railroad gives the upjir end ol

is erected, though, it is on a more limited
scale than some others owned by the l'a.
R. R. C'O . its dimensions being 10 by 14,
with one floor, which is divided into two
apartments, on# of which is intended for
u baggage room and the other fur a wail
ing room. The whole being
of hemlock board* gives it a romantic ap
pearance At Laurelton better accommo
dutions arc offered, the depot being a little
larger, and furni-hed with benches. These
accommodations, of course, aro only
temporary, the company inlands to erect
new buildings as soon as it gets over the
pinie. The road, in general, is remarka
bly level, and trains pass over it at a speed
almost equal to any road in the slate. It
would certainly be of great advantage to
the people of Centre, if the entire length
of the road w ere completed.

You may remember that I lectured late

day I was talking with one oi the young
gentlemen referred to, and he said he
had an uncle who, from some cause, had
growji permanently bereft of all
emotion, and, and with tears in bis eyes,
this young man said .• "Oh, if 1 could on
ly see him laugh once more? Oh, if I
could only see him weep ?" I was touch
ed. I could never withstand distress. 1
said: "Bring him to my lecture. I'll
start him for you." "Oh, if you could
but do it. If you do it, all our family
would bless you for evermore; for ,ho is
very dear to us. Oh, my benefactor,
' can you ir.nko him laugh ? Can you bring
' soothing tears tojthose parched orbs?"
' I was profoundly moyod. I said : "My

od, should decide on ltl( as the proper i
person to select. I sh. uld then think it my
duty to accept and, if elected, would serve,
the {.ounty to the best of my ability.
lhe selection ol delegates is a very im
portant matter there should be great

inquiry, "is he honeat, is he capable,'' and
nominate henest and able men who are
above suspicion both as to ability and
character. \V<- should not loose sight of
making a good selection for Commission
