It appears to be the custom for some per
sons, in the borough, to feed and milk their
cows on the street, and in some cases on the

places to herd cattle, and the nuisance should
be abolished.

to curtail:
"Petersburg (which is located on the Cen

Juniata river) is beginning to improve more
rapidly than heretofore and will eventually
become an important railroad town. It is
one of the best stock-shipping stations on the
road and all the products of the splendid
country surrounding it are shipped from this
point. It was incorporated 1830. The Juni
ata Forge, run by John R. Hunter & Co., is
located here. The iron turned out by this
establishment has always been in high re

MOUNT UNION AND ITS SURROUNDINGS.
—A reporter of the Harrisburg Patriot visited
Mount Union, week or two ago, and got off the
the following interesting facts :
We are indebted for much valuable information
about this place to Mr. John Dougherty, the effi
cient Adams express agent here, and a gentleman
who has always labored for the improvement of his
town, and it is to a great extent due to his energy
and foresight that Mount Union is now about to
take her stand as an important manufacturing and
general business place.
Mount Union is situated in the lower portion of
Huntingdon county, and derived its name from a
union of mountains (the western rim of Kishaeo
quillas valley) with Jack's mountain, its southeas
tern boundary and Chestnut ridge with Jack's
mountain by a chain of ridges forming an amphi
theater, through which flows the Juniata, on the
south bank of which nestles the borough of Mount
Union. Just below Drake's ferry, at the mouth of
the gorge in Jack's mountain through which the
trapper and trader, followed by the wagoner,canal
boat, locomotive and telegraph pass westward.
Jack's mountain on the left, Black Log and
Shade mountains on the east, form sides of a min
eral trough in which anthracite and semi-anthra
cite coal is mined. Fossiliferons andhematite ores,
limestone, fire brick clay, glass sands, water powers
roofing slate, cement and sandstone for buildin g
purposes are placed in close proximity, and where
the Pennsylvania railroad and canal afford access
to the Atlantic and Mississippi valleys, and where
the great centre of iron manufacturing industry is
being built up.
Tho East Broad Top coal railroad and also a
railroad through the ir..n ore basin to Orbisonia
are located, the capital stock with which to grade
and bridge both these railways subscribed, and an
agreement concluded with the Pennsylvania rail
road company for laying down the superstructure
thereon. Simultaneous with the completion of
these railways (which here converge) the proposed I
enlargement of the Pennsylvania canal to Mount
Union will we doubt not be made, and six out of
seven lilt-locks, from Newton Hamilton t) Jacks
town aqueduct got rid of. And on the extension
of the East Broad Top and Orbisonia branch mil
-1 roads via Sideling Hill gap, Cumberland, Mary
land, Somerset county, Pennsylvania, and East
Broad Top, coal will be shipped on steam canal
crafts direct to New Took and intermediate towns
and hamlets via Ilarrisburg and Philadelphia.
At Mount Union, a dam 15 feet in height across
the Juniata river, would give twenty-five feet head
and fall. Where this magnificent water power will
be made available and give employment to capital
and labor, the union of which, creates wealth.
"Fossiliforous iron ores" underlie this valley and
crop out along the foot-hills of Jack's and Black
Log mountains.
At Mount Union the twenty-five inolz hard fossil
ore vein is worked by the Mount Union iron com
pany, 500 feet in width and extends for miles north
wardly above water level, and on the Mount Union
side this vein has been opened along the foot hills
of Jack's mountain southwardly for fifteen miles
and parallel therewith four soft fossil ore veins
twenty-ens inches, ten inches, two feet and three
feet thick each ; also the Levant (Tussy mountain
ore No. 4) and fifteen feet in width, of sandy fos
siliforous ores, rich in iron, and parallel with these
fossiliferous iron ores, and opened at a dozen or
more dfferent locations is found hematite iron ores
from five to thirty-Sve feet in thickness, continu
ous (not in nests) and within easy access to the
East Broad Top coal basin, from whence cheap fuel
can ere long, be obtained to smelt these ores and
roll iron and steel rails, etc., etc.
The Rock Hill iron and coal company, with a
capital ofone and a half million of dollars, have
secured by purchase and lease a portion of these
valuable ores and coal lands, and are making pre
paratory arrangements to build six first class iron
furnaces and a large rolling mill. The mill and
two or three of these furances will be put up in the
river bend, at Mount Union, and where it is in
tended to build various mills and f.tories in which
water power will be used.
The churches consist of a neat frame Presbyteri
an church, brick United Brethren church and brick
Methodist church and an elegant location whereon
to build a Catholic church, parsonage, school house,
etc.
The Pennsylvania railroad company have a neat
depot here, but the growing importance of the town
demands a much more commodious one. The com
pany own an eligible site, where the freight and
passenger trade and travel from the Pennsylvani a
railroad, the East Broad Top and Orbisonia branch
railroads could be accommodated in one and the
same building, which would add to the public con
venience and be mutually advantageous to the sev
eral railroad organizations.
There is possibly very few as favorable places iu
the United States, andcertainly in Pennsylvania,
for a delightful summer resort than atJack'a spring
on the Jack's mountain, about eight hundred feet
above the river. The waters from Jack's spring
are pure and cold in the wannest season of the year
and are sufficient to supply hewing water for one
hundred cottages. A large hotel at the springs,
and a fountain in the centre of this beautiful basin,
green walled by the hills and mountains of Penn
sylvania, would invite hither the worshippers of
nature and lovers of the beautiful from all parts of
the country. Jack's mountain is formed of ,two
anticlinal axes. Between these rises (eight hund
red and fifty feet above the Juniata) is the crystal
spring of large volume before mentioned. On the
summit of this range of mountains may be opened,
through shade avenues, smooth road from whence
Kishacoquillas ralley, with its well cultivated
limestone plantations and quaint agriculturists,
may be seen on the west, and on the east hills suc
ceeding hills, like waves on a storm-tossed ocean.
All these unite in inviting some lover of the beau
tiful on whom fortune has smiled to build this foun
tain, that his name and actions shall reverberate
along the line of generations.
ARREST OF SCOTT MONROE, TIIE GREAT
JIM BREAKER—Officer IVestbrook Works Up
the Little Job.—Scott Monroe, a mulatto, was
convicted, at the May Sessions, at Bedford, for
the larceny of a small quantity of butter, not
exceeding two pounds, and sentenced to hard
labor, in the Western l'enitentiary, for a pe
riod of one year. The night following his
sentence, he escaped from the jail and fled to
Maryland. The Sheriff offered a reward of
$5O for his apprehension, and a month or
six weeks later, he was picked up, by tho Cum
berland police, and returned to Bedford.
Ile was hand-cuffed, hobbled and placed in
close confinement, but the indomintable Scott
was not to be baffled in that way. With a
horse-shoe nail he manufactured a key, with
which he unlocked his cuffs, out of a case
knife, clandestinely furnished him, he manu
factured a saw, with which he sawed off his
hobbles, sawed the bolts off of his door, then
worked with a confedeate prisoner into the
cellar, then bursted things generally and the
two left for parts unknown.
The Sheriff offered another reward of $5O,
and notified the detective forces, in the sur
rounding counties, of the escape. Monroe, on
leaving Bedford, struck for this place. Here
he awaited the arrival of Robinson's Circus,
with which he bad travelled last year, in
charge of some ring horses. He followed it
from this place to Miffiintown where he joined
it. Officer Westbrook learned that a color
ed man had joined them, at Miffiintown, and
from the description he was satisfied that it
was Scott.
The show, in the meantime, had gone up
to Mercersburg and over to M'Connellsburg,
and all sight was lost of it. From M'Con
nellsburg it headed up to Bedford. Here
Scott kept himself dark. Officer Westbrook,
who was awaiting the appearance of the show'
on the line of the railroad, did not hear of it again
until last Tuesday evening, when it was repor
ed it would be at Williamsburg the next day.
He proceeded to that point at once, where he
found his man sailing under the name of
Charley Williams. He arrested him, and af
ter considerable effort on the part of Charley,
to prove that he was not Scott Monroe, he
brought him to this place. As they
stepped from the cars the officer recognized
Sheriff Keyser, of Bedford, standing in the
door of the Exchange hotel, stepping up to
him he said : "Sheriff, is this your man ?"
"Yes, stn!" said the Sheriff, emphatically,
and Scott was provided with quarters, at
castle Houck, until evening when he was
hustled off to Bedford.
We have only to add that officer Westbrook
deserves great credit, for the prompt and ef
ficient manner, in which he worked up this
case. Those two pounds of butter will cost
Bedford county a snug little sum. We can't
buy any at that price.

A MAN DIES VERY SUDDENLY.—
Suspicions of Foul Play.—A trustworthy cor
respondent, at Cassville, sends us the follow
ing highly important statement :
On the 28th of Juno last, a man named
John Bumgardner, employed on a saw mill, in
Cambria county, about nine miles from Al
toona, after eating a hearty dinner, had a dif
ficulty, which resulted in a scuffle, with a
party, whose name has not been given, and in
five minutes thereafter he dropped dead. A
rude box was constructed, the body put into
it and about four o'clock in the evening, two
men, named respectively Condrin and Rose,
brought the corpse to Altoona, on a lumber
wagon, and thence to Mapleton, by the Fast
Line. The next day the body was conveyed,
by the friends, who reside at Cassvilll, to
this place. The appearance of the neck and
face of the deceased, which were jet black,
taken in consideration with the hurried man
ner in which the body was brought, created
suspicions in the minds of the friends, of foul
play. This taken in connection with the fact
that the persons who had charge of the body,
to Mapleton, seriously opposed the holding of
an examination, when suggested by Dr. Alle
man confirmed them in their opinions. Ac
cordingly B. F. Glasgow, Esq., Justice of the
Peace, summoned a jury, and Doctors Hincb
man, Thompson and Guns were called in to
make a post mortem examination. The fol
lowing is their report: "Externally we find no
indication of any violence being used. A
post mortem examination of the chest and ab
domen confirm our belief; but we believe that
he died from a natural cause produced from
over exertion. The face and head being in
such a state of decomposition that it would
reveal no light."
No other evidence being produced to the
jury, it, at the request of the friends, adjourn
ed to meet an the 13th inst. The jury met as
per adjournment. Dr. Guss appeared before
the jury, and stated that he was dissatisfied
with the report of the physicians, and pre
sented the following statement to them :
"The undersigned having been summoned,
on very short notice, to take part in the exam
ination of the body of the above named John
Bumgardner, does, after due reflection, say that
the cause of death may have been other than
that of a natural cause, produced from over
exertion, and that a further examination may
reveal fracture of the base of the skull.
Isla° Guss, M. D.
The jury thereupon made up the following
verdict:
"No additional light being thrown on the
subject of the death of the deceased, do say:
that from the post mortem examination made
or the evidence produced, we are not prepar
ed to say whether he came to his death by
violence or not—strong suspicion resting
upon our minds that violence might have been
used, by some person or persons, which caused
his death."
From the statement of Dr. Guss it may be
inferred that the poet mortem examination was
limited and unsatisfactory. Indeed it is the
expressed opinion of those witnessing the
proceedings, that there was a manifest lack of
skill or inclination on the part of some of
those conducting it, and we think we are
warranted in saying that this is the prevailing
opinion of the jurors in the case. 'Tis true
decomposition had progressed to some extent,
but this would not have prevented a close
examination of the body.
LOCAL NEWS FROM THE "LOWER END."
—Married, on Thursday, the 4th inst., in
Shirleysburg, by the Rev. J. W. Evans, Mr.
Wharton, of Mifflin county, to Miss Emma

Union, particulars not known.
This end of the county, for the last week,
has had daily showers of rain, so much so
that the grain is growing in the shock. The
farmers have become very uneasyand restless.
But they must put on the garment of patience,
and abide their ttrn, for while the grain may
receive some injury, they will be more than
recompensed in their crop of corn, potatoes,
&c.
The East Broad Top and Coal Company
have closed the contract with Messrs. T. E. k
W. P. Orbison for a tract of land adjoining
Orbisonia, containing between five and six
hundred acres, having thereon several valua
ble ore mines, and a fine location for furna
ces, &c. We now look for the railroad to be
put under contract, in a very short time; the
road has been fully surveyed and located.
POLITICAL.
The lower end has recently had a run of
politicians, who have been bobbing around
from house to house, holding out the friendly
hand to all with whom they come in con
tact. Let them come we are glad to meet
our upper end friends whenever they have an
occasion to pay us a visit.
Treasurer Kenyon has been here collecting
taxes and there has been a perfect rush on the
part of tax-payers generally to pay up. The
new law takes admirably. The five per cent.
off wins. The tax-payer gets it now, where
the collector formerly received it.
AN INHUMAN OUTRAGE-4 FAMILY
Driven from home - at Night and their House
Burned.—A desperado, named Joe Ingram,
living with his family, in Mt. Union, at about
2 o'clock, on last Friday morning, proceeded
to the residence of his father-in-law, named
Ryan,living a short distance above that place
and by threats of murder drove his mother•in
law and five children from their home, with
nothing on but their night clothing, and then
set fire to the house and burned it, with all its
contents, to the ground. He went to three
houses to get matches before he succeeded,
and after he had succeeded in his hellish de
sign, lie ascended the roof of the house and
balloed "fire" until the heat became unbeara
ble ; the only pity is that the roof did not open
and swallow up the fiend. The children were
obliged to remain in the woods until clothing
was sent up from the town to cover their na
kedness. Mr. Ryan is working at Barree Forge
and was not at home. The family is left en
tirely destitute. Ingram went to work next
morning on the railroad as if nothing had
occurred.
It is supposed that the matter grew out of
an old grudge. About a year ago Ingram,
acted very badly and the Ryan family had a
warrant issued for him. In making the arrest
Constable Rodgers, in self-defence, was obli
ged to put a ball through Ingram's arm, and
it is supposed he bears a grudge ever since.
THE JUNIATA CAMP MEETING Asso
ciaTioN.—ln company with Rev. M'Kee, of
Hopewell, wo visited the delightful grounds,
selected by this association, for the holding
of their Annual Camp Meetings, and we pro-
nounce it one of the best selections that could
have been made in the Juniata Valley, on the
line of the railroad. It is far enough away from
the noise, bustle and confusion of the latter,
and near enough to dispense with the abom
inable hack nuisance. It is located about
thres•eighths of a mile to the north of the
village of Newton Hamilton, in a deep woods,
well watered by four wells and three springs
one of them is thoroughly impregnated with
sulphur.
Mr. Norton, the contractor, is completing
one enclosure of 108 feet by 190, containing
120 tents and a complement of 200 tents will
be completed by the time set for the meeting.
The camp will commence on Tuesday, the
6th proximo, and continue until Friday morn
ing the 16th. Tents are for rent at $7 for the
lower, and $6 for the upper floor. Boarding
will be furnished for the term of ten days for
$7.50, or $1.25 per day, or 50 cents per
single meal. Persons who desire to get away
from business for a space of ten days, and to
do some good for themselves at the 311.111 e time,
can here find the rest they want which will
prove both pleasant and profitable.

ITEMS FROM FRANKLIN TOWNSHIP.—
Astage line, between Spruce Creek and Centre
Hall, has been run for upwards of forty years.
The line is about thirty miles long, running
through a section of country densely popula
ted. The scenery along the route is very fine.
Franklinville, a post village, is a pleasant
stoppirg place. Mr. A. G. Ewing, is the post
master, and a most agreeable gentleman. The
route is now run by Mr. Henry M'Manigal, of
Graysville, who has furnished the line with
very creditable coaches, and conducts the
businiss as it has never been conducted before.
The stages leave Spruce Creek at 9 a. in., and
arrive at Centre Hall, at 6 p. in., making the
whole trip in nine hours.
Ca Saturday the 11th, a very heavy storm
visaed the upper portion of the valley, doing
great damage and swelling the streams be
yond that of the last flood.
Andrew Nlyton had two cows killed by
lightning during the prevalence of the storm.
Tie grain is all harvested and will all be
stowul away in a few lays.
Pclitical matters are very dull, but the
Delmcrats are swallowing Greeley with wry

SJDDEN AND SINGULAR DEAT H.—
Johr Simpson, father of T. R. Simpson, Esq.,
of tlis place, left his residence, on Hill street,
on lest Friday evening, it is supposed, to bring
home the cows. Not returning early in the
evening, it was supposed he had gone to his
son, Hurray's, living up Stone Creek Avenue.
A messenger was sent thither, but not finding
him,search was made for him in the field,
whituer it was supposed he had gone. He was
found dead! He had apparently seated him
self von a log to rest and fell over and expi
red. His faithful dogs were found guarding
the iody. He had been unwell for some days,
but 1 0 serious indisposition bad manifested
itself. He was highly esteemed by all who
knee him, and his sudden and singular death
has caused many expressions of regret that he
has passed away. Death is supposed to have
beer caused by exhaustion and old age. He
was in his 74th year.
How TO Go Wm.—This is an in
quiry which every one should have truthfully
ansvered before he starts on his journey, and
a little care taken in examination of Routes
will in many cases save much trouble, time
and money.
The "C. B. & Q. R. R." running from
Chicago, through Galesburg to Burlington,
and the "I. B. & W. Route," running from
Indianapolis, through Bloomington to Bur
lington, have achieved a splendid reputation
in tie last two years as the leading Passenger
Routes to the West. At Burlington they con
nec: with the B. & M. R. R. and form the great
Bur.ington Route, which runs direct through
Southern lowa to Nebraska and Kansas ' with
close connections to California and the Terri
thrum ; and passengers starting from Hun
tingdon county, on their way westward, can
notdo better than to take the BURLINGTON
ROUTE.
This Line has published a pamphet called
"How to goWest," which contains much valua
ble information ; a large correct map of the
Great West, which can be obtained free of
cherge by addressing the General Passenger
Agent, B. & M. It. IL Burlington, lowa.
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 rices
for advertising are 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.
CASTORIA—a substitute for Castor Oil
a family physic which is pleasant to take and
does not distress or gripe, but is sure to operate
when all other remedies have failed. It is a
purely vegetable preparation, containing neith
er Minerals, Morphine nor Alcohol, the result
of fifteen years experimenting by Doctor Sam
uel Pitcher. It is perfectly harmless and far
more effective than Pills, Narcotic Syrups or
Castor Oil. By soothing the system it pro
duces natural sleep, and is particularly adapt
ed to crying or teething children. It kills
Worms, cures Stomach, Aches, Constipation,
Flatulency and Derangement of the liver. No
family can afford to be without this article. It
costs but 35 cents—ask your druggist to get
for you, and he will always keep it. july3.4t.

DR. RADWAY'S
Sarsaparillian Resolvent has made the most astonishing
cures; so quick, so rapid are the changes the body under
goes under the influence of this truly wonderful medi
cine, that every day en increase in flesh and weight is
seen and felt.
The Great Blood Purifier.
Every drop of the Sarsaparillian Resolvent communi
cates through the Blood, Sweat, Urine, and other fluids
and juices of the system the vigor of life, for it repairs
the wastes of the body with new and sound material.
Scrofula, Syphilis, Consumption, Glandular disease Ulcers
in the Throat, Mouth, Tumors, Nodes in the Glands and
other parts of the system, Sore Eyes, Strumous Discharges
from the Ears, and the worst form of Skin Diseases, Erup
tions, Fever Sores, Scald Head, Ring Worm, Salt Rheum,
Erysipelas, Ache, Black Spots, Worms in the flesh, Tu
mors, Cancers in the Womb, and all weakening and pain
ful discharges, Night Sweats, Lose of Sperm, and all
wastes of the life principle, are within the curative range
of this wonder of Modern Chemistry, and a few da3e'
use will prove to any person using it for either of these
forms of disease its potent power to cure them.
If the patient, daily becoming reduced by the wastes
and decomposition that is continually progressing, suc
ceeds in arresting the waists, and repairs the same with
new material made from healthy blood—and this the Sar
saparilliun will and does secure.
Tot only does the Sarsaparillian Resolvent excel all
known remedial agents in the cure of Chronic, Scrofulous
Constitutional, and skin diseases ; but it is the only pos
itive cure for

Stoppage of Water, Incontenence of Urine, Bright's. Dis—

substances like the white of an egg, or threads like white
silk, or there is morbid, dark, billions appearance, and
white bone-duel deposits, and when there ix a pricking,
