THE ENGINE DRAWING THE LIMITED
MAIL JUMPS THE TRACK.—The Engineer Kill
ed.—On Sunday afternoon last the engine
drawing the Limited Mail was thrown from
the track, in the neighborhood of Warrior
Ridge water station, about four miles west of
this place, in consequence of a rock rolling
upon the track. The obstruction was seen by
the engineer an 1 fireman, and an engineer
named Drake, who was on the engine at the
time, and they did all in their power to stop
the train, but were unable to check its veloci
ty sufficient to avert the calamity. The en
gine jumped the track, and breaking away
from the tender, ran a considerable distance
over the ties, demolishing the track in its
course, until it was forced upon a switch
that lead it directly to the edge of an embank
ment, some thirty feet in height, over which
it was hurled with such force as to render it
a total wreck, killing the engineer, John Keis
ter, who resided at Harrisburg and where, we
understand, he had a wife and two children,
and slightly injuring Mr. Drake, who went
down with the engine, with his hand upon
the throttle, in which position he was found
when the passengers came to the assistance
of the unfortunate men. This man did his
whole duty, and risked his life in order to
save others. The fireman, when be observed
the danger, jumped from the engine and esca
ped without injury. The passengers all esca
ped without hurt, and little dreamed of the
danger they were in until it was past. The
body of the engineer was brought to this place
late in the afternoon and an Inquest held by
Esquire Murray, and a verdict rendered in ac
cordanze with the above facts.
Mr. Keister has been employed in the capa
city of an engineer upon this road for a num
ber of years, and bore the reputation of having
been a careful and trustworthy man.

A LARGE SALE OF PERSONAL PRO
PERTY.—We to day advertise the sale of the
personal property of S. & B. 11. Hatfield, at
their Juniata Iron Works, in Porter township.
Owing to the abandonment of the canal, by
the Pennsylvania Canal Company, in Septem
ber, 1874, this has become necessary. The
Company has abandoned that portion of the
canal west of Petersburg Dam, and demolished
all locks, aqueducts and bridges, thereby de
stroying it for transportation and compeling
the Messrs. Hatfield to abandon their Iron
Works, and consequently throwing on their
hands a large amount of property for which
they bare no further use. A large amount of
machinery is also thrown idle which hes
caused the discharge of a number of workmen.
The Juniata Iron Works were erected in
1837, by the Messrs. Hatfield, since which time
they have been extensively improved, and been
continued in successful operation through all
the hard times up to the present. Such suc
cess and enterprise has been the exception
rather when compared with our manufactures
generally. They deserve a much better fate
than to be stopped by a corporation like the
Pennsylvania Canal Company which has
thought best to abandon that small portion of
canal because it did not pay them to keep it
up, not caring bow much valuable property
they thereby destroyed.

A SAD AND TERRIBLE ACCIDENT.—
Frank Steele, son of Rat. Steele, esq., Crushed to
Death.—On last Saturday evening, about five
o'clock, the town was thrown into great ex
eitemont, by a rumor that Frank Steele, son c,f
llobt. Steele, esti , Train Master of the Middle
Division, located at Altoona, and well known
to all our citizens, was killed at the coal
wharf. The flirts, as near as we can glean
them, are us follows: Frank usually met the
Local Freight upon which his brother George
has keen runnin , .: - for some time, at the station,
andaccompanied him to ,he engine house. On
Saturday evening he boarded the Local as
usual and rode up to the switch west of the
coal wharf. Ilere there were several engines
in waiting, if we are correctly informed, to
switch off to the engine house. The switch
on the south track was left open for the 4:15
train, and the engineer of the Local, not
aware of the circumstance, backed down and
run into an engine on the north side track,
Frank Steele, was on the platform of the cabin
car, and no doubt realizing the danger he was
in attempted to jump off, and was thrown be
neath the wheels of the cabin car and shoved
some distance, when it eventually passed over
his legs, cutting them off and otherwise crush
ing him frightfully. It was but the work of
an instant, bat the work of that instant is
indellibly engraved upon the minds of all who
saw it.
Frank was about eighteen years of ago and
was loved and respected by all who knew
him. lie was a member of the Reformed
church and took an active part in the duties
of a Christian. We deeply sympathize with
the bereaved parents. His remains were
taken to Altoona on Monday last fur interment,
accompanied by a large number of friends.
The railroad company has been thoroughly
investigating the cause of the fatal accident.

DEATH OF DR. HUGH CAMPBELL.—
The father of Prof. W. W. Campbell, of this
place, died in Uniontown, (not Chambersburg.
as we stated last week,) on the 26th ult. We
clip the following from the Uniontown (Fay
ette county) Standard in regard to his decease:
Dr. Campbell was one of the oldest and
most prominent citizens of our town and
county, and as a man, a citizen and a chris
tian, has been well known among us. He
seems to have followed his ancestors in faith
and in years. His father was a member of
the Presbyterian church, and died at the ad
vanced age of ninety-five years. The family
was of Scotch decent. Dr. Campbell was born
in Uniontown, May Ist, 1795. He attended
Jefferson college one year, about 1812, and
retained vivid recollection of the war in 1812.
He was twice married, first to Miss Baird, of
Washington, Pa., in the year 1853, who died
shortly afterwards. lle was married the
second time in 1858, to Miss Rachel Lyon, of
Carlisle, I'a., who survives him.
Dr. Campbell was one of the oldest physi
cians in Western Pennsylvania, and continued
the practice of his profession until a short
time before his death. He commenced the
study of medicine in 1814, and began his prac
tice in 1816, sixty years ago. Ike was an
pointed Warden of the Western Penitentiary
iu 1865, which position he held until 1868.
For more than half a century, lie was an active
and zealous member of the Presbyterian
church, was elected an Elder at Uniontown,
about 1825, and continued to hold this office
about forty years, until he removed his res
idcnce and membership to Pittsburgh in 1865•
lie was an active member in church courts ;
was a Commissioner to several General As
sembliet, and was a member of the famous
General Assembly which met in Pittsburgh in
1838, at the time of the Disruption. Dr. Camp
bell alw,ys felt a deep interest in the prosperity
oftbe church,and in the public worship of God."

ANOTHEit ELOQUENT PRAYER.—Rev.

lowing prayer on the occasion of the announce
ment of the death of lion. I. 11. Rawlins :
"Lord, thou bast been our dwelling place
in all generations. Before the mountains were
brought forth, or even there was a man to till
the ground, even from everlasting to everlast
ing Thou art God. As for us, children of tnen,
our days are as a tale thatis told,and our age
is as nothing before Thee. Like the flower of
the field so we flourish, for the wind passeth
over it, and it is gone, and the place thereof
shall know it no more. With these solemn
truth, 0 Lord, we are profoundly impressed
as in the quiet of the evening hour, we are as
sembled iu this hall of legislation, our vision
greeted by badges of mourning, informing and
reminding us, that since here last convened,
one that was, now is not. Rawlins from Blair,
to the roll call of this house of representatives,
shall respond never again. With him the bat
tle of life has been fought, the conflict is over,
the goal has been reached. With him, times,
vicissitudes and earth's activities are forever
past. The armor has indeed been doffed,
and if good, thank God 1 the robe and crown
received. 0 God, hear us, as to thy fatherly
bands of protection and care, thy husbandly
heart of sympathy and love we commend his
grief shrouded widow, and as by this provi
deuce, responsibilities increased and augment
ed shall devolve upon his surviving colleague,
aid him, we pray Thee, in their faithful ful
filment. And by it, also, may Thy servant,
the speaker of this house of representatives,
and every member thereof, and all of us in this'
presence, Almighty God, be so deeply impress
ed with our mortality as to make without
further delay the needed preparation for the
wondrous change which shall very soon usher us
into other regions of Thine infinite empire for a
higher service, and a purer joy, as we trust,
in Thy more immediate presence. 0, God our
Father, for the sake of Thy Son, our Savior,
grant that to every one of us it may be a
'Happy day, that •reaks our chain,
That manumits, that calls from exile home.
That leads to Nature's great metropolis,
And readmits us through the guardian hand
Of elder brothers to our Father's throne.'
and thine shall be all the glory forever.—
Amen."

As spring approaches every one is think
ing about gardening, and the careful gardener
makes his peparation in time.
It is now time to purchase Seeds and order
Plants, Trees, &c. This is an important mat
ter, and should be attended to in time. Great
care should be taken in selecting Seeds, Plants,
&c., and no establishment of doubtful integri
ty should receive your orders.
Trees and Plants can always be bought at
lower prices and of much better quality direct
from a reliable Nusery than can be had from
any agent. We warn our readers not to give
an order to any of the many tree peddlers who
annually infest the country.
While giving the above advice, which, if
acted on, will save our readers money and
trouble, we will tell them where they can get
such reliable Seeds, Trees and Plants. That
place is the celebrated Knox Fruit Farm and
Nurseries, Pittsburgh, Pa. This is one of the
very oldest and most reliable establishments
in the country, and any one who sends them
an order for seeds, or anything they offer, will
receive such articles as can be relied upon.

their handsome store, No. 131 Fifth avenue,
where we can assure them they will meet with
courteous attention, and a visit will ample re

BOUROUOH AND TOWNSAIP ACCOUNTS.
—An exchange calls attention to the fact that
there is a wide-spread misunderstanding rela
tive to the time when townships,'borough, and
school-district accounts must be published,
in order to meet all the requirements of the
law. In our own paper we have been misled
into inserting a statement that it was required
to publish the financial condition of the va
rious districts hi the month of January, but
in this we were misled by some of our con
temporaries, including the School Journal, and
did not take time to examine the law. It
would therefore be well for persons interested
to take notice that last winter an act was
passed in the State Legislature, and was ap
proved by the Governor, amending the ac
counts mentioned. The original law referring
to this matter was as follows :
SECTION G. The corporate authorities of
every such municipality or district shall, an
nually, in the month of January, prepare and
publish in at least two newspapers of said
municipality, or of the county in which the
same is situated, if so many be printed therein,
a statement showing in detail the actual in
debtedness, the amount of the funded debt,
the amount of the floating debt thereof, the
valuation of taxable property therein, the as
sets of the corporation, with the character
and nature thereof, and the date of maturity
of the respective forms of funded debt thereof,
and a neglect or failure so to do shall be a
misdemeanor, punishable by fine not exceding
one thousand dollars.
As stated, the above act requires the pnbli
cation of these accounts in January of each
year, but as the succeeding Legislature wisely
deemed it impracticable for the proper au
thorities to prepare their statements in that
month, the law was amended, so as to rend as
follows :
SECTION 6. The corporate authorities of
every such municipality or district shall, at
the end of their fiscal year, prepare and pub
lish in at least two newspapers, etc.
From this it will be apparent to our readers
that borough, township, and supervisor's
statements are to be published in April, which
is at the end of the fiscal year, and the school
accounts must be made public two months
later, or in June, which is the "end of the fis
cal year" so far as school purposes are con
cerned.
It would be well for local officers to make
a note of the above, as the penalty for failure
to do so is quite severe. Every person in official
positition should make it a point to familiar
ize himself with the law which regulates the
performance of his duties, and by doing this
there will be no possibility of mistake.

The Salted Poet.
We can reofi of torn of merit.
We can read nf men f tame;
whe;i cmmes a Pifled
We wonder wbat's in n name.
We've read his bauble t.'cr and o'er,
But eoulin't see the fun,
For the little vessel stayed near shore,
And didn't have mueh of a run.
lle's taken salt fur a basis,
Oh ! what an excellent theme
For a man in nursery traces,
And drifting down the stream.
There are nobler suLjeets by the
Of which he mig.ht have written—
We move he take the days of yore,
Next time that he is smitten,
All,l write of how "ye heroes" did,
'Twould surely do no harm,
To say while 'way from George they s;i4
The women run the farm.
But if he nothing else can do
Than write about the we.
Our advice to him is, quit that, too,
And go to selling trees;
And try in an honest calling
To prove himself a man ;
So stop that childish brawling,
But try an available plan
By which to get in office,
And thus employ his will ;
If that will only suffice
To keep the ninny still.
Go get inaugurated
In a rural debating clan ;
And then on things much hated
Pronounce your patriot ban ;
And thus by native genius win
A place among the exalted ;
But don't come out in a poem again,
By one so badly salted.
But if that promised leaf you torn,
And run the thing henceforth:
Your singing-school you'll likely spurn.
And fling poetry south and north ;
But just lay by your poetry, P.
We're not much seared by 3,,ar threat,
Since father Adam fell, you see,
A tnau for bread must sweat.
Note.—" That very clever satire" is a little too
"thin." The Grangers are not in the "scooping"
business. That the little game set up by a certain
party at the late election tailed, was not the fault
of the Grangers; but the tax-payers—simply this
and nothing more. The Grange' still lives and
prospers, the editor of the JOURNAL and his poet
to the contrary notwithstanding. No. 375.
[The editor of the JOURNAL appreciates a clever
thing even if it should be at his own expense, and
he was unfortunate in measuring other people's
corn with his measure. We nre heartily glad to
hear that tho Orange survives. We didn't appre
hend anything serious, but the above was calcula
ted to affirm us. We shan't do so again.—En.]
A Few Words to Feeble and Delicate
Women.
By R. V. PIERC6. M. D., of the W'orld's Bi.poußary, Buffs
:a N. Y., Author of the "The People's Common sense
Medical Adviser," etc., etc.
Knowing that you are subject to a great amount of suf
fering, that delicacy on your part has a strong tendency
to prolong it, and the longer it in neglected the more you
have to endure and the more difficult of cure your came be.'
comae, I , ao a physician, who am daily consolted by worts
of your sex, desire to nay to you, that I am constantly
meeting with those who have been treated for their ail
ments for months without being benefited in the least, tin'
til they have become perfectly discouraged and have al
most made up their mind never to take another done o f
medicine, or to he tortured by any further treatment .
They had miller ilie and have their sufferings ended than
to live and euffer as they have. They say they are worn
out suffering, and are only made worse by treatment. Of
anyting more discouraging, we certainly cannot conceive,
and were there no more successful moihe of treating such
difficulties than that, the principals of which teach the
reducing and depleting of the vital forces of the system,
when the indications dictate a treatment directly the re
verse of the one adopted for them, their case would be
deplorable indeed. But, lady sufferers, there is a better
and far more successful plan of treatment for you ; one
more in harmony with the laws and requirements of yolir
system. A harsh, irritating caustic treatment and strong
medicine will never cure you. If you would use rational
insane, nuch as common-Ream ahonld dictate to every in
telligent lady, take such medicines as embody the best
invigorating tonics and nervinee, compounded with spe
cial reference to your delicate system. Such a happy com
bination you will find in my Favorite Prescription, which
has received the highest praise from thousand, of your
a-a. Those languid, tiresome sensations, causing you to
feel scarcely able to be on your feet or ascend a flight of
stairs; that continual drain that is sapping from your
system all your former elasticity, anti driving the bloom
from your cheeks; that continual strain upon your vital
forces that renders you irritable and fretful,—may all be
overcome and subdued by a persevering use of that mar
velous remedy. Irregularities and obetructione to the
proper working of your system are relieved by thin mild
and safe means, while periodical pains, the existence of
which in a sure indication of eerions disease that ehould
not be neglected, readily yield to it, and if its use be kept
up for a reasonable length of time, the special mule of
these "Alta is permanently removed. Further light on
these subjects may be obtained from "The People's Com
mon Sense Medical Adviser," in which I have devoted a
large space to the consideration of all forms of diseases
peculiar to your sex. This work will be sent (poet-pail)
to any address on receipt of gl hd. My Favorite Preecrip.

Prompt Reinforcement.
When the physical energies are overtitsked
or flag through weekness and disease, they
need prompt reinforcement. Renewed vigor is
most speedily supplied through the medium of
a tonic stimulant, and among medicinal re
sources of that class. Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters assuredly deserve a prominent place.
Weakness, whether constitutional or arising
from disease of over-fatigue, cannot be better
compensated for than by a resort to this prime
stregthening cordial. The enfeebled invalid,
the convalescent and the aged and infirm find
that is an unfailing source of vigor and corn
fort. Its combined tonic and alterative prop
erties also constitute it an invaluable remedy
for indigestion, weakness of the organs or
urination constipation, torpidity of the liver,
and many other irregularities and disabilities,
and render it an invaluable protection against
malaria, as well as disorders of the stomach
and bowels. [mh-3-lm.
A SINGULAR FREAK OF LIOLITNING.
On Monday morning last, a week ago, it will
be remembered there were vivid flashes of
lightning and heavy peals of thunder. A party
of five persons had remained up during the
night, at the residence of Aaron Hollingshead,
in Barree township, waking with a deceased
member of the family. While the persons in
question were sitting around a table the light
ning struck the chimney and run down the
stove pipe and passed through the floor, doing
but little damage save severely shocking the
party around the table.
A FACT WORTH KNOWING.—Are you
suffering with Consumption, Coughs, Severe
Colds settled on the breast, or any disease of
the Throat and Lungs? If so go to your
Duggiit's S. S. Smith & Son, and get a bottle
of BOSCHEE'S GERMAN SYRUP. This medicine
has lately been Introduced from Germany, and
is selling on its own merits. The people are
going wild over its success, and druggists all
over our country are writing us of its won
derful cures among their customers. If you
wish to try its superior virtue, get a Sample
Bottle for 10 cents. Large size bottle 75 cents.
Three doses will relieve any case. Try it.

MR. EDITOR :—How is it ? We had heard
that the fighting editor of the Globe had pro
fessed conversion during your late revival, and
we had hoped that his paper, that has not
only rent and torn the Republican party to
pieces in this county, but has, in our humble
opinion, done more to demoralize and degrade
society than all the other papers ever publish
ed in it, would be conducted as though its
head at least bad a decent respect for religion
and decency, but we are sorry to see, in all
his editorials, the same virus looming up that
has marked its past history, rendering it unfit
for any respectable society. I do hope you
will not have us judge of the fruits of your re
vival from the crop thus far visible on that fig
tree so lately dug about. X.
