She was a greater attraction than the eclipse.

Some of die boys and young men in this

razors, knives, etc., held forth in the Diamond,

ment. We hope friend Bair may make a for
tune in printing the Times, but of this we bare

that bill you owe the printer. If you are not
coming to town yourself send the amount with
your neighbor who is coming. Please don't
neglect this advice.
An effort will be made next winter to abolish

A tramp was snugly quartered on the plat
form of one of the cars attached to the Phila

him.
We failed to notice last week that brother
James, of the Cambria 'Jerald, had dressed his
paper in a new suit. It now presents a clean
And neat appearance, and should receive a
liberal support from the Republicans of "little
Cambria."
Huntingdon had a surfeit of itinerant mu•
sicians on Saturday last, no less than three or
four organs being in blast in different parts of
the town. Among the party were a couple of
Italians who madepretty good music on a harp
and violin.
Huntingdon is cursed with more worthless
dogs than any other town of the same size in
the State. Every dog in the town should be
taxed from fifty cents to one dollar. If this
were done there would be a thinning out of
the yelping curs.
A couple of tramps drove quite a brisk trade
in this p!acs, one day last week, in selling
bogus meerschaum pipes. They disposed of
them at prices ranging from fifty cents up to
one dollar and a half. A number of people
were victimized.
An exchange says that moths may be driven
from carpets and floors by sprinkling the parts
infected with cayenne pepper, tea and salt ;
and ironing the carpet on the wrong side, after
dampening it with tea, will destroy the eggs of
the pestilent invader.
The eclipse of the moon was a success on
Monday evening, and was viewed by a large
number of our citizens. About one-third of
its surface was eclipsed, and the remainder
presented a pale red appearance. By 8 o'clock
it had entirely passed off.
Fifteen years ago a painted face was an in
signia of something more then impropriety,
but now a•days eight ladies out of ten em
bellish their faces with paint, powder and
pencil, and no one dares to assert that these
ladies are not respectable.
A citizen of Ebensburg, Cambria county, re
quested the editor of the Herald to say that be
would donate fifty acres of land as a site upon
which to erect the proposed new middle peni
tentiary. We admire his liberality, but the
State is not begging for land just now.
One of Eve's frail daughters, who has been
lying around loose in the suburbs of the town
tor the past few days and nights, was arrested
on Monday evening by constable Westbrook,
and given quarters in the lockup, and on
Tuesday morning shewas sent to prison.
Harry W. Long, a former attachee of the
JOURNAL office, who is engaged in business in
Philadelphia, arrived in town on Friday last.
He will spend a few days with his parents, and
we wish him a pleasant visit to his old stamp
ing grounds.
The outside barbarian who was so anxious
but failed to have a resolution offered in the
late Republican county convention, with a
view to creating a discussion, ought to be
content that he did not have the opportunity
of publicly publishing himself a meddlesome
fool.
The contents of last week's Nationalist were
known in town, several hours in advance of
its publication. Brother Fries could save the
expense of furnishing his town patrons with
papers if he only manages to let a certain in
dividual in this place know what he had pre
pared for his paper.
Dr. Luther, chairman of the State Board of
Public Charities, visited our county prison and
Alms House on Thursday last. He gave it as
his opinion that there had recently been a de
cided improvement in the management of the
latter institution, but that a new jail was an
imperative necessity.
The members of the Phcenix fire company
held a pic-nic in M'Cahan's Grove, on Friday
and Saturday last; for the purpose of raising
funds to assist them in the purchase of new
uniforms. A dancing platform was erected
upon the grounds, which, we understand, was
liberally patronized.
Our typo friend, Millard T. Whittaker, who
has been vegetating in Kansas for a year past,
dropped in upon us on Friday last, looking
the picture of good health. He is highly de
lighted with the "west countric," and paints
in glowing colors the many advantages it
possesses over the East.
Fourteen persons are huddled together in
one room in our county jail, and the Sheriff is
powerless to remedy the great wrong. This
is enough to breed contagion, and if our grand
juries were forced to spend a few hours in this
pest-house we think they would not long
hesitate in recommending the erection of a
new prison.
By the premature discharge of a blast in the
lime-stone quarry from which the Orbisonia
furnaces get their supply of stone, on Thurs
day of last week, Mr. Adam Mimes had a leg
broken, and Messrs. John Himes and George
Dunlap, all residing in the neighborhood of
Mt. Union, were severely, though not danger
ously bruised.
Prejudice often rules in the physical treat
ment of babies. They are allowed to suffer
and scream with pain from Colic, Flatulence,
Bowel Disorders, etc., when some simple, re
liable and safe remedy, as Dr. Bull's Baby
Syrup, will give almost immediate relief and
perfect ease to the little sufferer. Price 25
cents per bottle.
A colony is being organized in Ebensburg,
Cambria county, for Texas. A party of three
gentlemen are now in that State for the pur
pose of purchasing land, and it is their inten
tion to locate in the neighborhood of Fort
Worth. Our townsman, D. S. Africa, who
will remove there in October, says it is the
garden spot of the. United States.
When we announced last week that the road
leading along the base of the hill, on the op
posite side of the river, was largely patronized
by pleasure seekers, we were not aware that
it was also the resort of the rowdy element of
town, at unseasonable hours of the night,
where drunken blackguards revel without re
straint or fear of the minions of the law.
Huntingdon was almost depopulated on
Sunday by the attractions at the Mooresville
camp meeting. From the gray of the morning
up till 8 o'clock carriages and buggies could
be heard in every direction, all heading for
the Warm Springs road which leads to the
grounds. Every kind of a conveyance that
could be had for love or money was pressed
into service.
Our young friend, M. T. Whitaker, started'
Tuesday, for Huntingdon, Pa., where lie will
"leave off steam" for a short time. May he
fatten on butter-milk diet, and swing through
without any mishaps, nor be crushed out by
some of the giant girls of the mountains. Look
out for him, or he will be up to some trick.—
Troy (Kansas) Chiof. He has arrived, right
side up with care.
The Juniata Tribune of last week, contained
the valedictory of our friend, Jno. M. Bowman,
esq., who has had charge of it for nearly two
years past. The paper has been sold, as we
stated a week or two ago, to Ezra D. Parker,
esq., who proposes to make a Democratic sheet
out of it. Mr. Bowman, for the present,
will have charge of the mechanical department
of the establishment.
The Ashland Advocate, published by our
friend, J. Irvin Steel, esq., comes to us wear
ing a new suit, and giving every evidence of
financial prosperity. Our friend Steel struck
a bonanza when he pitched his tent in Schuyl
kill county, all of which we are glad to know.
TI more care was taken in the mechanical
department of the Advocate it would look as
well as the JOURNAL, the "handsomest and best
printed paper in the county."
Rev.!). H. Geissinger, of Lancaster, preached
two sermons in this place on Sunday last. Ile
occupied the pulpit of the Presbyterian church
in the morning and of the Lutheran church in
the evening. On both occasions the buildings
were filled to their full seating capacity. Mr.
Geissinger is a native of our county, and the
mere announcement that he is to preach in
any of our churches is a sufficient guarantee
that a large congregation will greet him.
Two persons arrived in this place, on Sunday
last, in pursuit of a man who had stolen a
horse at some point in Clearfield county, on
Friday night, On Saturday an individual,
with a horse in his possession, answering the
description of the thief, stopped and took din
ner at the Washington house in this borough.
He left for the east immediately after dinner.
His pursuers were about ten hours behind him,
and it is more than probable that they will
suczeed in capturing him.
A new swindle is that in which the swindler
represents himself a correspondent of some
prominent agricultural paper, gathering crop
statistics, etc. He generally happens around
about meal time and is consequently invited
to "stay and take a bite," and have his horse
fed. Ile does, and when be leaves, notwith
standing the farmer's protests, insists upon
paying therefor, which he does— with a
counterfeit ten dollar bill. We hope none of
our farmers will allow themselves to be
swindled by the scoundrels.
Huntingdon's popular green grocer, Bob
Westbrook, has placed us under obligations
for the present of a basket brim-full of vege
tables. He deals largely in all kinds of vege
tables and fruits, and the best in the market
can always be found at his stand. We are
pleased to know that our bighearted friend
is liberally patronized by an appreciative
public. Ail purchases delivered free of charge
to any part of town. If you want vegetables
that are fresh, toothsome and cheap, leave
your order with Westbrook.
Mrs. Dr. Wm. Jackson, of this place, met
with a painful accident OSaturday of last
week, by which slit lost the end of the tdiddi
finger of her left hand. She was engaged in
tieing the window shutters together, when the
window, which was resting on one of the
runny patent fasteners peddled through the
country, gave way, and before she could get
her hand out of its descent it caught her
finger, cutting the end and half the nail off as
clean as if done by a knife. It bled profusely
and will be very sore and troublesome for
some time to come.
Amongst the curiosities on exhibition at the
Mooresville camp meeting was a large black
rattlesnake, recently captured by Park Harvey,
on Tussey's mountain. The reptile is confined
in a box, with a glass top to it, and seems to
be tolerably \yell satisfied with his new loca
tion. His snakeship measures 3i feet, weighs
five pounds, and sports ten rattles and a
"button." He has eaten ,nothing since his
capture, but appears to be in the enjoyment
of good health. He has been the centre of
attraction, and the object of attention on the
part of crowds of visitors.
As will be seen by the following, which we
clip from the local columns of last week's
Democratic Watchman, our young townsman,
Lawrence L. Brown, is about to leave us to
engage in business in Bellefonte : "Shortlidge
& Co., coal and grain dealers, have sold their
business to Mr. Lawrence L. Brown, of Hun
tingdon county, for the sum of sixteen hundred
dollars, retaining only their lime business.—
Mr. Brown will take hold in a few days, and
as he seems to be a man of character, he will
no doubt command the patronage of our
citizens."
An accident occurred at the lime kilns of A.
G. Morris, esq., below Birminghim, on Monday
of last week, by which two employees at the
kilns, Jerry Baker and Thos. Hogan, of near
Union furnace were injured. Mr. Morris was
taking down one of the kilos for the purpose
of rebuilding, and the two men named, along
with two others, were on the kiln removing
the stone, when the wall gave away and Baker
and Hogan went down with the wall. Hogan
was imbedded among the rocks and dirt up to
the waist and was slightly bruised. Baker
was buried among the rocks and bad one leg
badly bruised. He was taken to his home by
Mr. Morris. Two other men working on the
kiln saved themselves from injury by jumping
when they felt the wall giving away.— Pyrone
Democrat.
William Thomas is his name, he is a native
of Huntingdon, and at present holds the double
position of chief hoot black and assistant su
perintendent of Mr. Kennedy's barber shop,
this place. A couple of days ago when noth
ing was urging him in his regular calling, he
was requested to behead a chicken for a lady
neighbor, and cannibal like he seized the fowl
and placed its neck between his teeth and
then "shut." The head dropped to the ground
and the blood spurted out in many directions,
striking the colored gentleman in the eyes,
ears and nose, and completely bespattering
his shirt front and clothes in general. For
evidence of the truth of the above, examine
the gentleman's mouth and you will find
feathers enough sticking between his teeth to
make a good sized pillow.—Tyrone Ilerald.
TILE WAY TO DO IT.—An old patron
of the JOURNAL, and a warm, personal friend
of ours, for whom we have the highest esteem,
writes us, from one of the Western States,
under the head of "My Annual Letter," as
follows:
'Ere's yer $2.00 !
Examine the tab en your paper and see if it is marked
up. Every one of thou ought to be marked up to 1879.
Mark 'er up, Bro. Nash, mark 'er up, and no
'back talk."
In diverting this money from the old time chan
nel, the saddest thought in the whole business is
that this grand old fabric of a government will be
cheated out of the tax on two dollars worth of
whisky and our public revenue will thus be se
riously crippled. Truly, brother, the poet wrote
wisely when he said: "There is no horn without
its thorn !" '
The Norristown herald says that a Bob Ingersoll sort
of a Christian wants some one to explain why, when a
thunder storm visits a town containing thirty beer saloons
and five churches, the lightning will travel all around
the saloons and strike a church. It is queer, isn't it?
The Master expects the churches to clean out
the saloons, as the work is for them to du as His
agents, not fur Him to do personally; and when
they neglect to do; it, Hu just swoops down on
them occasionally and applies the lash to wake
'em up. See? (No charge). Tell the Herald to
ask us something adamantine.
I read your election news with interest, mingled
with a regret however, that your good people could
not have the privilege of nominating me for some
thing, too. My old friends are all going up in
dignity so rapidly that I shall soon feel constrained
to climb a ladder to get abreast of them.
You need not think, however, that we are ut
terly destitute of honors in this section ; some of
us are actually obliged to keep two or three men
and a dog on watch to prevent being forcibly ab
ducted from the quiet of our homes and placed in
high and powerful positions; this may seem strange
to you, but whether you believe it or not, I can
assure you it is—not true !
Now, Nash, here is a good, serious "shake ;" and
I hope, if prosperity continues and business per
mits, to pay you the next annual subscription in
person and have a "shake" that is not simply
"make believe." The course of the JOURNAL is
now free from criticism and I congratulate you.
Your friend,
X. T. Y. T.
ANOTHER DASTARDLY OUTRAGE BY
THE HAGGERTY'S WOOD TRAMPS.—H. F. Swoope,
a resident of Three Springs, Huntingdon
county, who, as many have done before him,
teaches school during the winter months and
turns his hand to anything that will enable
him to earn a livelihood in the summer, arri
ved in the city on Sunday night from West
moreland county, where be lied been working
in the harvest field. He stayed all night at a
hotel, and in the morning walked to the lower
shops to inquire for work. While in that
vicinity he was hailed by three of the tramps
wbo infest Haggerty's wood, who wanted to
know where Le was going. He told them he
was going to Huntingdon. They then asked
him if he couldn't give them some whisky, and
Swoope said he could not and would not.
Without more ado the villains attacked
Swoope, knocking him down and robbing him
of $2. One of the scoundrels struck at him
with a knife, and his upper lip was cut clean
through. Swoope, atter being beaten and
robbed, contrived to get away with the addi
tional loss of his hat. On bis way to the
Mayor's office he met Chief McDonald, and
stating what had occurred, returned with the
chief for the purpose of identifying his assail
ants. Swoope recognized one of the men and
the chief succeeded in capturing him. The
two others escaped. At the Mayor's office the
prisoner, a villainous-looking tramp, gave his
name as Thomas Green, and said he was from
Denver, Colorado. He was commited to the lock
up to await the first train to Hollidaysburg,
where he was taken last evening by Sheriff
Stuffier. Swoope, who has a brother in this
city, went to see him in order to arrange for
the continuance of his journey home. He had
some money left, even after the tramps got
through with him.—Altoona Pribune, of Tues
day.
CAN WHISTLE FOR COSTS.—The Com
missioners of several counties in this Com
monwealth have given public notice that here
after they will not pay any costs •to magis
trates, constables, or police officers for arrests
made under what is called the "Railroad
Tresspass Act." When the Legislature passed
the statute authorizing the arrest, fining, and
imprisonment of all unauthorized persons
caught jumping or riding on railroad trains,
the sapient law-makers forgot to provide for
the little matter of costs in such cases, and
our County Commissioners will therefore not
be justified in paying out of the treasury any
fees to magistrates or to officers making arrests.
There are five tramps at present in jail, who
were sent up for ten days upon a conviction
under the above-named law ; and two others
were released a few days ago, who were im
prisoned on the same charge. If the county
would be compelled to pay the bill for the
arrest and imprisonment of these seven tramps,
the total cost to be footed by the tax-payers
would amnia to over s§o. Ten days each in
jail would be einivalent to seventy days, for
a hich the Sheriff must receive $35 ; then the
costs of arrest, hearing, commitment, and fare
to Ebensburg would reach near $4 per man.
There is no power that can compel the Com
missioners to pay these bills, and they will not
be justified in doing so. The law may be a
good one, but the railroad companies stiould
arrange to pay the attendant costs of enforcing
it. Officers can whistle for their costs as the
statute stands at present.—Johnatoren Tribune.
We hope our commissioners will make a
note of the above, and at their meeting on
Monday next give notice that they will refuse
to pay any costs of this character.
WELL MERITED.—The Phillipsburg
Journal says that the Huntingdon and Broad
Top railroad company is enjoying a good
percentage of increase of travel since the warm
days have made the cities unendurable, aad
the traveler finds this corporation always
ready to accommodate its patrons in the most
satisfactory manner conducive to safety and
comfort. We also are glad of an opportunity
to speak from personal experience. The offi
cers of the road are as accommodating and
courteous a set of gentlemen as it has ever
been our pleasure to meet. They are fib an
xious for the comfort of passengerps the hos
pitable host is to make everything pleasant
for his ouests.—Philipsburg Journal.
SPORTING NOTES
A thirty pound snapping turtle was caught
in the reservoir, near Hollidaysburg, recently.
A fisherman passed up Washington street
on Wednesday morning, with as many eels as
he could conveniently carry, besides a good
sized snapper.
A gentleman named Ellsworth Matley, of
Philipsburg, during the trout season, caught
2,325 speckled beauties, and disposed of them
at twenty-five cents per dozen.
The Warren game protective club have just
received an enstallment of Messina quails
from Sicily, in the Mediterranean, which they
propose to turn loose in that neighborhood.
The Fish Commissioners of the State have
appointed Mr. Robert McCombie, of Carroll
township, Cambria county, a Fish Warden for
that county, for three years from the 4th of
July last.
A bass was caught in the Schuylkill which
had a rat inside of it, but we wouldn't advise
people to dispense with their rat traps and
keep an able-bodied bass on hand to capture
rats.—Harrisburg Telegraph.
Washington Long, of Juniata township, a
profesional fisherman, on Monday last caught
seven bass, which kicked the beam to the tune
of thirteen pounds. On the same day his son
caught one that weighed four pounds and a
quarter.
A small meeting of the fishermen (so called)
of Harrisburg, favoring legislation looking to
the removal of the Columbia dam, and free
fishing generally, in the Susquehaunah, met
in that city last week. Nothing transpired
except a brief interchange of sentiment on the
subject of fishing, etc., when they adjourned
to meet at the call of the president.
This from the Columbia Courant: It is
said that a grand mass convention is to be
held at Harrisburg early in October, by fish
ermen and others, interested in the fish in
terests of the Susquehannab river, to take
action in reference to the Columbia dam ob
structions and the unconditional repeal of all
laws restricting free fishing. As far as re
gards the Columbia dam, we can say it will
stand as it is, all the conventions to the con
trary, notwithstanding.
The Cambria Freeman, published at Ebens
burg, says : It is the intention of the State
Fish Commission to locate another fish-breed
ing establishment in the western part of the
State, and on Wednesday morning an agent
of said Commission arrived here to investigate
the merits of this section for Oa purpose pro
posed. Ile viewed a number of springs and
streams in the immediate neighborhood, and
is understood to have expressed himself to the
effect that. water and climate being both con
sidered, no better place than this could be
found anywhere for a fishery. Another visit
will be paid at some day in the near future,
when a more comprehensive examination will
be made of the several springs and some par
ticular one probably be fixed upon for pur
chase.
PICKINGS FROM "OUR PAPER."—From
the August number of Our Paper, published at
Three Springs, this county, by our friend, P. 11.
Bence, esq., we clip the following items :
It is said that James Norris, esq., will take the
stump this fall in the interbst of the "unterrified."
Prospecting for Manganese, has been going on
for two weeks past, on the farm of S.M'N'itty, esq.,
in Clay township.
Work has been resumed at the ore bank on K.
L. Green's farm, and is being pushed rapidly, both
day and night. The shipments of ore from this
bank is to average 20 tons per day.
Saml. esq., was nominated for Assembly,
at the recent Republican convention. It he is at
successful in tanning the opposition, as he has
been in the tanning of bullock-hides, he will doubt
less be elected.
Miss Sarah E. Gregory, of Alexandria, this
county, has been engaged to teach the winter ses
sion of the primary school in this place, at the
exorbitant (?) salary of $2O a month. [Miss Greg
ory was a successful teacher in one of the schools
of this borough for a number of years.—Eciron.]
Samuel M'Vitty, esq., was selected by the execu
tive committee to conduct the Sunday School les
son on Friday of the convention. The promptness
with which he organised the classes, the thorough
ness of the review, and the ability displayed in the
whole management proved him to bethe right man
in the right place.
Mr. Wible of Springfield township, a few days
since, while cutting down a large oak tree, came
across a musket ball, which was lodged near the
heart of the tree. Upon an examination of the
growth of the tree it was found that the ball had
been shot into the tree over one hundred years
ago. The question now is, who pulled the trigger
of the old that-lock, which sent that ball "whizzin'"
into that brave old oak.
IMPORTANT TO VOTERS.—The follow.
ing, so tersely stated by the Clearfield Repub
lican, is of the utmost importance to every
voter and every politician : The regular as
sessment or registry lists for the coming fall
election have already been made, and are now
to be found posted at the polling places in the
various districts as required by law. Under
the new constitution every person desiring to
vote at the approaching November election
must have resided for the period of two months
—sixty days—in the election district where he
offers to vote, and if over twenty-two years of
age, shall have paid within two years a state
or county tax, which shall have been assessed
at least two months, and paid at least one month
before the day of the election. More : The
citizen who removes from one borough or town
ship to another between the fifth of September
and election day loses his right to vote; because
he must swear that he has resided at least
sixty days in the district where he offers to
vote. And if he has resided but five, ten or
twenty days there he cannot declare that he
has lived sixty days therein. Those who wish
to vote the coming fall had better examine the
list of voters now in the hands of the asses
sors (or the one to be found at the election
house,) and see if their names are enrolled.—
If not on the list inform the assessor of the
omission. The omission of names produces
more confusion and trouble on election day
than all defects put together, and yet it is one
of the simplest duties enjoined upon the as
sessor, and it is equally simple if the voter
does not know that his name is not on the list
until he offers his ticket and some one chal
lenges him. It becomes the duty of the citi
zen from this until the 4th of September
(sixty days before the election) to apply to
the assessor if he wants his name placed on
the list. It is the duty of every assessor to
remain at the election house in Lis respective
district on the 3d and 4th days of September
next, when those not registered, can find him
and have their names put on the list of voters.
Under the change made in our election laws
an assessor renders himself liable to a fine. of
$lOO and three months imprisonment for as
sessing a tax against any person after the time
specified in the law for closing his labors.
A HORRIBLE DEATII.—A. MAN DIS
EMBOWELED.—On Tuesday night of last week,
Cloyd L. Delany, a young man employed at
the rolling mill of the Cambria Iron Company,
in Johnstown, met with an accident of a most
shocking and revolting character, resulting in
instant death. Delany was employed at the
"run out hook" in the old mill. At about
three o'clock he laid down on a bench close
to the engine to take a short nap, the engineer
taking his place. After twenty minutes had
elapsed, he was called. Arising, he started
to resume his work, but instead of going
around the immense wheel, he being no doubt
somewhat stupefied by sleep, deliberately
walked upon it and fell between two of the
arms. The wheel revolving with great rapid
ity at the time, and seizing him, in an instant
his torn and mutilated body was hurled on
the other side. One of his legs was torn
completely off. When his body reached the
ground the intestines were hanging out from
the bowels, while his brains were scattered all
around. The face received but two slight
bruises. His fellow workmen immediately
removed his remains to an undertaker's estab•
lishment on Clinton street. Young Delany
was a youth of excellent character, and great
ly beloved by his aged parents, who are
almost heart broken at their sad loss.
THE Modern Pharmacist, in order to be
successful in the practice of his profession re.
quires not only a theoretical knowledge of
classic Chemistry, Materia Medina, botany,
but a practical experience to enable him to
distinguish between pure and adulterated
drugs, so that he may conscientiously dispense
to the sick the remedies required by the phy
sician, all of the above qualities are united in.

SEASONABLE INFORMATION.--TREAT
MBNT OF INFANTS.—During the hot weather of
July, August and September,there is more fa
tality among infants, as a general thing, than
in any other three months of the year. This
is caused through a want of knowledge how to
properly minister to the wants of the little
ones. The Board of Health of the city of New
York has issued a circular in relation to the
care and feeding of infants, and as it is con
sidered exceedingly good authority we give
some of the points touching this subject for
the benefit of mothers and others who may
have infants under their care :
In nursing, over-feeding does more harm
than anything else; nurse an infant a month
or two old every three hours. Nurse an infant
of six months and over five times in twenty
four hours and no more. If an infant is thirs
ty give it pure water, or barley water—no su
gar. On the hottest days, a few drops of
whisky may be added to either water or fond,
the whisky not to exceed a teaspoonful in 24
hours.
If the infant must be fed, boil a teaspoonful
of powdered barley (ground in a coffee grind
er) and a gill of water, with a little salt, for
15 minutes, strain, then mix it with half as
much boiled milk, add a lump of white sugar,
size of a walnut, and give it lukewarm from a
nursing bottle ; keep bottle and mouthpiece
in water when not in use, to which a little
soda may be added. For infants five or six
months old give half barley water and half
boiled milk, with salt and a lump of sugar.
For older infants give more milk than barley
water. For infants very costive give oatmeal
instead of barley. Cook and strain as before.
When your breast-milk is only half enough,
change off between it and this prepared food.
In hot weather, if blue litimus paper, applied
to the food, turns red, the food is too acid,
and you must make a fresh mess, or add a
small pinch of baking soda. Infants of six
months may have beef tea or beef soup once
a day, by itself or mixed with other food ; and
when ten or twelve months old, a crust of
bread or a piece of rare beef to suck. No child
under two years ought to eat at your table.
Give no candies, iu fact nothing that is not
contained in these rules, without a doctor's
orders.
Summer complaint comes from overfeeding
and hot and foul air. Keep doors and wind
ows open. Wash your well children twice a
day with cold water, and oftener in the hot
season. Never neglect looseness of the bow
els in an infant ; consult the family or dispen
sary physician at once, and he will give you
rules about what it should take, and how it
should be nursed. Keep your rooms as cool
as possible, have them well ventilated, and do
not allow any bad smell to come from sinks,
privies, garbage boxes or gutters about the
house where you live. See that your own
apartments are right. Where an infant is cross
and irritable in the hot weather a trip on the
water will do it a great deal of good (ferry
boat or excursion boat,) and may prevent
cholera infantura.

SERIOUS ACCIDENT—A MAN'S BODY
FORCED THROUGH A SPACE OF FOUR INCHES.—
Mr. David Kauffman, who is employed on the
"gravel train," on the P. R. R., met with a
serious accident, on Wednesday forenoon, at
what is known as "fiefright's quarry," in the
vicinity of Mapleton. This quarry furnishes
large quantities of stone to the P. R. R. Com
pany, and in order that the handling of them
may be as convenient as possible a large plat
form has been erected, near the m'tin track,
and is connected with it by a moveable track
which, when not in use, is removed. At the
time of the accident, this moveable track was
placed in position for the purpose of running
trucks, loaded with stone, out to the main
track to be loaded upon the cars. Mr. Kauff
man, we understand, was standing near the
end of this track, and while the cars were
being backed up one of them caught him
about the body and forced him between the
end of this moveable track and the car, which
is not mare than three and a half or four
Inches wide. Our informant was unable to
give us any particulars, as to the extent of his
injuries, but when we consider the narrow
space through which his body passed, we must
infer that they are serious, and that his chances
of recovery are very doubtful. Mr. Kauffman
was formerly a resident of this place, but for
some time past has resided at Mapleton.
NEW LAW.—County commissioners will
henceforth be required before entering upon
their official duties to give a bond with sure
ties to be approved by the court of quarter
sessions of the same county, or by one of the
judges thereof, and in such penalty as the
said court shall deem sufficient, but not less
than two thousand dollars each, for the faith
ful discharge of all duties enjoined upon them
by law, and for the faithful and legal appro
priation of all county and other monies which
the said commissioners have any authority to
draw out of the county treasury, upon checks
or orders given by them, or over which they
have control ; the said bonds to be taken in
the name of the Commonwealth of Pennsylva
nia for the use of the county, and shall be
acknowledge before the recorder of deeds of
the same county and recorded in his office at
the cost of the county.
