Central get up a screaming match—the up the

Car Inspector Foster, of East Conemaugh,
met with a terrible accident at that place on
Thursday morning last, says the Echo. He
had just stepped out of the swith-man's box,
which stands close to the railroad track, and
not noticing an engine which was backing
down, he was struck by it and thrown to the
ground. Unfortunately one of his legs lay
upon the track, and before he could withdraw
it the engine passed over it crushing the limb
in such a manner as to necessitate amputation
below the knee.
Jacob Houser, of Lewistown, attached to
the gravel train on the Sunbury & Lewistown
Railroad, was so badly injured at Selinsgrove
on Friday last, by the train backing over him,
that he died shortly afterwards. The caboose,
it appears, had become detached from the train,
and being on a down grade those on the last
car attempted to jump on the caboose to brake
it, Houser being last, but the distance being
too great he fell on the track, and before he
could get out of the way the cars passed over
both legs and one arm.
On Thursday last, says the Cove Echo of the
Bth inst., as Mrs. Anderson and another lady,
with horse and buggy, were on their way to
Newry, they met with rather a serious acci
dent. As they approached the Railroad cross
ing at Roaring Springs, the gravel train which
by some means had been delayed, unexpected
ly passed by. The horso became frightened,
throwing Mrs. Anderson out and one of the
buggy wheels over her. We are informed that
Mrs. Anderson sustained no very serious in
jury, and that after recovering from the fright
drove home.
The burning of a bridge near Williamsport,
on the Philadelphia and Erie Railroad, on Fri
day last, says the Lewistown Gazette, brought
the Sunbury and Lewistown Railroad to a
rather unhooked for use—the Empire Line
from New York running its trains from Sun
bury to Le'w istown, thence to Tyrone, and from
there to Lock Haven, thus getting on the Phil
adelphia and Erie again. This was a round
about way, but as the cars from New York
contained many perishable articles, it was in
the end a saving. Many other freight trains
are passing over this route.
Last Monday the annual meeting of the
Dunkers or German Baptists commenced at
Goodville Church, Fayette township, says the
Juniata Sentinfl, of the sth inst. During the
afternoon three persons were immersed. In
the evening the Lord's Supper was celebrated.
The membership of this church in this county
is large. The following preachers from other
counties were in attendance : Rev. Peter
Meyers, Mifflin county ; Rev. Graybill Meyers,
Huntingdon county Rev. Daniel Good, Frank
lin county ; Rev. John Garver, Huntingdon
county ; Rev. M. Harnish, Perry county.
A three horse team belonging to J. J. Barn
dollar, Esq., of Bloody Run, was frightened on
Friday, says the Press, at the station, and ran to
the foot of the hill, on Spring street, with
about forty five hundred weight of lumber, be
fore they were stopped. The driver bad stop
ped back of the station, to allow the morning
mail train to pass before commencing to un
load, and in an instant the leader wheeled
around and the team started for the crossing.
The train was quite close, and the driver be
ing thrown on the track had barely time to
get off, receiving some severe bruises. The
wagon was badly demolished, but the horses
received no injuries.
An indhstrioUs Spruce Creek tnechaniO came
into . Sinking Valley, on Friday last, says the
Tyrone Herald, to drive home a new purchase
in the shape of a pig. He left Scalp Level at
3p. m., on Friday. At 8 o'clock on Tuesday
last he was reported being a little West of
Newry, and appeared to be working gradually
around toward Ebensburg. He seemed anx
ious to hear from his family. When last seen
he was engaged in an energetic dispute with
the pig, the latter insisting on a new "line of
direction," which would take the couple some
where in the neighborhood of Cort-ing, N. Y.
The Somerset Herald, of the sth inst., con
tains the following : In the terrible conflaga.
tion of the 9th of Slay, in which the greater
portion of the town was destroyed, the Herald
was one of the heaviest losers. The accumu
lations of twenty years labor were destroyed
in as many minutes. The office, though one
of the last buildings to take fire, went like a
flash. Our hands, at the cry of fire. having
rushed down street, became so engaged in In
sisting their fellow sufferers, that the office
was deserted and burned to the ground with
out an effort being made to save anything.
Our account books are all that are left. In
the ruins can be seen the remains of our ele
gant steam power press, a quarter medium
jobber, a beautiful little engine, and pieces of
that faithful and true old friend, the Washing
ton hand press, that for eighteen years did its
work nobly and well. Of our paper cutter,
our dry press, two large imposing stones, all
our handsome stands, desks and furniture, a
large lot of printing paper and stationery,
files of the Herald for more than twenty years
that no moneg could buy, nothing can be seen•
Sixteen hundred pounds of type lay under
several inches of dirt and sand a shadeless
mass. Our loss is heavy, and in some instances
is irreparable, but we have not lost heart, and
have an abiding faith in the generosity .d
liberality of our subscribers. It was oar
boast, perhaps that was wicked, before
the fire that we had one of the best
printing offices in Western Pennsylvania, out
side of the cities, and not exceeding fifteen
minutes before the fire, we received by the af
ternoon's mail a receipt for the last dollar we
owed on the printing establishment.
A. CO-(PERATIVE LAIINDRY.—So much
difficulty is experienced in getting help to do
housework, that the ladies universally dread
"washing-day," and we are not surprised at
it as it is really a dreadful day. An old song
has something like this : "Of all the days
throughout the week the worst is washing
day." We would suggest a co-operative
Laundry, it could be started for a very little
money. The following article from the Amer
icas Agriculturist states the conveniences
much better than we can. Won't somebody
take hold of it and put the thing in motion?
"Is it not about time to banish washing—the
sloppy, steaming work of washing day from our
homes, and make a public affair of it? A friend
writes me, 'When Sunday night comes, I always
begin to dread the morrow's washing, for our
washings are always large, and, do the best I can,
I invariably get very tired. A public laundry
would be a greht blessing.' I think she means a
co-operative laundry, for she would hardly be wil
ling to pay for her large washings the prices at
most public laundries, that are not es-operative—
at the rate of $l, or $1.25 per dozen. The papers
have lately been taking notice of some statistics
published by the Oneida Community, with refer
ence to their washings. A New Haven paper says,
'They find that the week's washing for two hun
dred and thirty-seven persons costs twenty-nine
cents a bead. As the average number of pieces
washed for each member is eighteen, including
heavy articles, this is astonishingly cheap. Why
should not the horrors of washing day in families
be abolished by a system of intelligent co-opera
tion? Comfort, health, and cleanliness would all
be promoted by it, and a large amount of money
and labor saved."
'The washing apparatus of that Community is
on the largest and best scale of any in this coun
try. The hard work is done by steam. The re:
volving wringers alone cost $250, and the whole
expense of the brick building for the laundry, and
of the machinery for washing, wringing, drying
and ironing was $6.002. In cities there could be
kturd.eanteakegt.ssmirad44.amidies.4 , aumbjau,
ges there might be such a co-operation as would
materially lesson the labors and expenses of family
washing, -r without so great an outlay of money.
The expenses of the huildingand apparatus might
be divided into shares and each member of the
association could own one or more. The appa
ratus for doing a family washing comfortably at
home is seldom less than :,325, including machines
for washing and wringing. If fifty families should
each put in this sum. it would raise a capital of
$1,230. What could be done with this sum in the
way of establishing a village laundry? The wash
ing might bo done at a fixed rate—say seventy-five
cents a dozen. After paying the current expenses
for soap, fuel, labor, etc., there would remain a
surplus of funds (if the concern was properly
managed), to be divided at stated periods among
the members. In this way the members of the
co-oporative laundry association, though paying
a nominal price of seventy-five cents a dozen for
washing and ironing, would really get the work
done for considerably less."
A HORRIBLE ACCIDENT.—A Conduc
tor and Fireman Killed.—A terrible accident oc
curred on the Broad Top Railroad, on Thursday
evening last, about half-past eight o'clock, under
the following circumstances, viz: The Accommoda
tion Train bound for Bedford, stopped at a water
station about two miles above Hopewell, an unusu
al occurrence, and while taking in water the con
ductor. John P. Davis. went forward and got on
the engine, the engineer pulled out and had hardly
got under headway when the engine, owing to an
imperfect joint, jumped the track and went over
an embankment of several feet to the margin of
the river, followed by a boa car loaded with corn.
The engine, it is supposed, turned over several
times. When the engineer, Mr. A.P. Decker, who
had been severely stunned, recovered his presence
of mind, he found that his fireman, Jesse B. Deck
er, had been killed outright. His skull was crush
ed and one arm entirely torn off. The conductor,
Mr. Davis, had his right arm broken in two places,
and his left arm dislocated at the shoulder, and
other internal injuries. He lived until one o'clock
on Friday morning. He suffered very severely
but endured it with heroic stoicism until a few
mements before death relieved him he became insen
sible. Ile had only been running on the train but
a few months, and during this short period he had
made a host of friends. He was loved and res
peeled by every body who knew him and his un
timely loss will be sincerely mourned by many
who only knew him as a friend and amiable gen
tleman. Young Decker was also loved and es
teemed by all his acquiantances. The universal
testimony is that he was a most excellent young
man. It is sad to have to record the death of two
such excellent young men, cut off without a mo
ments warning, when they were just budding into
manhood and in the midst of the most brilliant
prospects. But such is life. The engineer escaped
miraculously, without scarcely any injury. He
says when he recovered his senses he was between
the dead and dying. His escape is truly a miricle.
The baggage car was thrown off the track but
not severely injured. A Mr. Longenecker, of
Petersburg, was on hoard, and jumped off at the
first alarm, and was considerably bruised. The
passenger car remained on the track and no one
in it was hurt.
A FRIGHTFUL RUNAWAY.—As Sam
uel Isett, of Etna Furnace, was descending
the road running parallel with the railroad
into Spruce Creek, in his family carriage, on
last Tuesday morning,the 11th inst., the horse
became frightened and dashed along the rail
way at a frightful speed. A lady in the car
riage leaped from it and escaped, but one of
Mr. Isett's feet was caught in some unaccoun
table manner, and held him fast so that he was
obliged to await results. The Through Pas
senger train West, tore off a wheel of the car
riage and the latter was pushed aside and Mr.
Isett escaped with very little injury. A boy
was driving at the the time who was unable
to manage the horse. The Spruce Creek
crossing is one of the worst on the road.

NEWS FEOM TFIE "LOWER END."—
Dear Journal:—We wish to inform your read
ers tbat we had in our midst, a few days ago,
quite an important and destinguished lot of
railroad men. Among them were Mr. Ingham,
President of the E. B. T. R. R. & C. Co., who,
by the by, has activeness stamped on his fore
head, Mr. Markle, well known among the coal
merchants and identified with the iron inter
est, Messrs. Edward and Percival Roberts, of
Phila., and Dr. Lewis Royer, of Montgomery
county.
They came over the route to inspect the
different surveys, etc., of the company, before
the road is let. We believe they found every
thing in as good condition as expected ; and
think they left us satisfied as to the mineral
resources, kc., of the "lower end." We are
much pleased that these gentlemen have paid
us a visit. Mr. Markle is a keen, shrewd,
practical railroad man, of the wide-awake,
progressive order, and we are confident that
he will do all he can to perpetuate and in
crease the friendly feelings between the com
pany and this route.
They left the Penna. railroad at Mt. Union,
thence via Orbisonia to- Rock Hill Furnace,
thence via Burnt Cabins and Scottsville to
Broad Top City. The trip occupied them
about a week. Mr. Wingate, Chief Engineer
of the road, is now engaged near Saltillo.
Several cases of diptheria are reported in
Clay township, and one or two very bad cases
of quinsey in Shirley township.
'Tis rumored Orbisonia is to have a grand
demonstration on the Fourth of July by the
different military companies, societies, kc.
Am unable to report programme, but may
hear more concerning it shortly.
Rock Hill Furnace will blow in, with very
favorable prospects of a good blast, about
the 20th.
Dolly Wardens are not quite so popular
here as in your town. _ .
Grain appears very scarce and is very high;
causing an almost universal complaint of hard
times from all quarters.

A BANK CAVES IN—TWO MEN KILL
ED.—On Tuesday, the 11th inst., our neigh
bortood was shocked by the report that two
men named respectively John Kearney and
Christ. Harry, of this place, employed on the
railroad, had been crushed by the caving in
of a bank at a point about one mile east of
Petersburg, where they were employed exca
vating for a third track. The accident occur
red about 10 o'clock, A. M. If we have been
correctly informed, the accident can be attri
buted principally to recklessness. The bank
gave evidence of giving way and yet they
continued to work beneath it. Harry was
terribly crushed and died at one o'clock, P. It.,
before be reached home. He leaves a wife and
three children in indigent circumstances to
mourn his untimely fate. We are informed
that they are very very poor. We hope that
our people will extend the hand of charity
promptly and relieve their wants. Kearney
was not so severely crushed as Harry and he
lived until five o'clock in the evening. He
was a single man of German nativity, and has
no relatives in this country with the exception
of a brother whose whereabouts are not known.
Both were buried on Wednesday afternoon.
There appears to be a fearful number of
fatal accidents along the line of the road.
Three persons have been buried here in the
last ten days, and we know of at least three
or four others. Most of these accidents are
the milt of carelessness or intemperance and
they should warn others of their danger but
they convey their lesson, apparently, only for
a day.

siA.—Advertising alone does not produce suc
cess. The thing which is advertised must
have intrinsic merit, or else large advertising
will eventually do it more harm than good. If
yon have anything which you know to be
good, advertise it thoroughly, and you will be
sure to succeed ; if it is poor, don't praise it,
for people will soon discover you are lying.
Such is the policy of the BURLINGTON ROOTS,
which runs to three great regions in the West :
Ist, To Omaha, connecting with the great P
acific Roads. d, To Lincoln,the capital of Ne
braska, Platte, filled with R. R. lands and home
steads. 3d, To St. Joseph, Kansas City and all
Kansas points.
best bridges, finest cars, the Miller platform
and coupler, and the safety air brake (to pre
vent the loss of life that is every where else
happening) ; Pullman's sleepers, Pullman din
ing cars, large and powerful engines (to make
quick time and good connections), and are in
a word the best equipped roads in the West.
So that if you desire to go safely, surely,
q...ickly and comfortably to any point in
Southern lowa, Nebraska, Kansas, or on the
Pacific Roads, be sure that you go "By Way of
Burlington."
All who wish particular information, and a
large map, showing correctly the Great West,
and all its railroad connections, can obtain
them, and any other knowledge, y addressing

How IT COMES.—Many persons sup
pose that a large paper, with three times the
reading matter contained in the old Journal
and American, costs no more to publish it than
the latter, because the subscription price re
mains the same. This is a mistake. It costs
at least one-half more, and this extra cost
must be made up on advertising, but thep rites
for advertising arc no higher, and there is
but little, if any more, advertising, conse
quently we must charge for many things that
were formerly published gratuitously. Will
politicians and those who want to make money
out of politics or secure political honors, re
member this when we present our bills for
personal advertising? The man who wants
to make money out of politics has as much
right to pay the printer as the man who wants
to make money out of dry-goods, grocer
ies, &c. tf.
JUNIATA VALLEY CAMP MEETING.—
The Juniata Valley Camp Meeting Association
will hold their first annual Camp Meeting on their
grounds, near Newton Hamilton, commencing on
the oth day of August and continuing fora period
of ten days. Two hundred tents will be erected at
once and every convenience will bo rendered those
who will favor the project with their patronage.
A circular will be issued stating all necessary in
formation in regard to rent of tents and board.
This project is an enterprise of the Juniata Valley
and as such it appeals to those who aro in sympa
thy with it in this locality. We hope our peopla
will give it their countenance and a helping hand.
It is certainly a very worthy project.
CAsTORIA is a scientific vegetable prep
aration ; a perfect substitue for and more ef
fective than Castor Oil, and is pleasant to take.
It cleanses the system in a most remarkable
manner; does not distress or gripe, but ope
rates when all other remedies have failed. It
is certain to supersede Pills, Castor Oil, Nar
cotic Syrups and all other purgative and ex
citing medicines. The Castoria contains neith
er Minerals, Morphine nor Alcohol. By its
emolient, soothing effect, it assimilates the
food and produces natural sleep particularly
adapting it to crying and teething children.
It cures Stomach Ache, Wind Colic, Consti
pation, Flatulency, Croup and kills Worms.
Make your Druggist send for it; he will always
keep it, as every family must have it. It costs
but fifty cents a bottle. [junes--4t.

The Christian Union.—An Unsectarian In
dependent Journal, devoted to Religion, Mor
als, News, Literature, Music, Science, Art,
Agriculture, Trade, Finance, ,etc., etc. (24
Pages Large Quarto.) And containing House
hold Stories, Choice Poems, Tales for the
children, etc, embracing Contributions from
well-known and eminent writers, Henry Ward
Beecher, Editor. The Christian Union is the
only Religious journal for which Mr. Beecher
writes, or to which he in any way contributes.
His characteristic articles of all kinds, and
the only complete and authorized verbatim
reports by Mr. T. J. Ellenwood, of his weekly
" , Lecture Room Talks," in the Friday Eve
ning Prayer meeting of Plymouth Churcn, and
the characteristic *Star Papers,* are attract
ive features of the paper, besides his power
ful editorials, and occasional literary reviews.
In the management and editorial conduct of
the paper Mr. Beecher is assisted by an able
staff of skillful and experienced journalists ;
while the the contributors embrace well-known
and eminent writers from every evangelical
denomination. This is therefore, a paper for
all christian families everywhere, being pub
lished in the interest of the whole body of
Christ's followers. It seeks to interpret the
Bible rather as a rule of life than as a Book of
doctrines. It is already the most widely
quoted, throughout the whole country; its
form 24 pages large quarto, pasted and trim
med, is so convenient for reading, binding,
and preservation, that it has in this alone a
special merit not possessed by the large
"blanket sheets ;" while its literary attrac
tions are not surpassed by any. On January
1, 1872, it was enlarged to twenty four pages,
and will be made, in various ways, the most
attractive weekly published.
With the paper are given away to every
annual subscriber to the Christian Union at
$3.00, or,
mounted, sized, and varnished,
ready for framing (the former most advanta
geous to the Subscriber,) at $3.25, two
Charming and Popular Works of Art, "Wide
Awake" and "Fast Asleep," an exquisite pair
of French Oil Chromos. The subjects are life
size, and cannot fail to please all who love art
or children. And this, notwithstanding the
fact that the regular market price of these
beautiful pictures is ($10) ten dollars, at
which price thousands of them havebeensold,
and still are selling, in the picture stores—an
unerring proof of their popularity ; for they
are not a pair of unpopular pictures, publish
ed at $lO end afterwards bought up cheap be
cause they didn't sell originally, but the reg
ular demand for them at $lO is still active as
it always has been.
_These pretty Chromos
. .
had for nothing by subscribing to the Chris
tian Union for one year. They are no com
mon colored prints, but careful copies after
paintings by Mrs. 8. Anderson, an eminent
English artist; printed in oil colors from fif
teen stones, executed by Jehenne, of Pat is, and
for their size (10ix12/t), are equal to any
chromos ever issued.
Prof. S. M. Smeigh,of Tyrone, will canvass
the principal towns in the county for the
