handy.
A new-fangled hand organ made music for
the gamin, in this place, on Saturday last. It
was intended to represent a brass band with
the drum left out.
On Saturday night, as usual, the quiet of

D. G. Nash and Martin Piper, inmates of the
National Military Home for disabled and aged
soldiers, at Dayton, Ohio, having been granted
a thirty days' furlough are visiting friends in
this place. The are loud in their praise of the
beauties and comforts of that institution.
The Lewistown Sentinel says, "for C. J•
Corbin's views of Lewistown ten cents is
asked, and no takers." If the views of Lewis
town are no better than those of Huntingdon,
taken by the same gentleman, we believe, a
year or two ago, they are dear at half the
money.
The Catholic parsonage, in this place, has
been improved and beautified by a handsome
new portico having been put up in front of it
and the brick work painted and penciled. Mr.
John Robland, a skilled workman, did the
painting, and it is a job of which he need not
be ashamed.
Quite a number of strangers are spending
the heated term in our town, and among them
are several passably good-looking young
ladies, who are playing the very mischief with
the hearts of half a dozen of our young men,
some of whom devote their entire time in pay
ing attention to the fair visitors.
If boys show a natural liking for scaling
fences and climbing trees, do not break them
of it. In the married days to come this ac
complishment may be of inestimable value in
escaping matrimonial conflicts by quietly
climbing up the back shed at midnight and
getting in the second-story window.
Gen. U. B. Lewis, Col. J. C. Long and Maj.

as a trophy of their skill with rod and line.
This is the boss catch of the BehSol2.
Any soldier who may have lost his discharge
from the late war, can procure a "certificate
of discharge," which is substantially the same,
by making Lpplication to the Adjutant General
of the Army, War Department, Washington,
D. C. It is not necessary to apply to a claim
agent or any person else, but make application
direct.
The present dog law of Pennsylvania is hard
on canines, and there is greater inducements
than ever for them to be well-behaved. The
owner of a dog in the habit of barking at
horses or passing vehicles is held to be liable
for the damage done, while the owner of a
vicious dog can be compelled to restrain him
at his peril.—Er.
The work of quarrying stone for the new
penitentiary was commenced on Monday last,
in Fisher & Son's quarry, about one mile dis
tant from the grounds. We understand that
Mr. Kelly, the contractor, proposes to have
all the masonry completed before cold weather
sets in, and with this object in view be will
put a large force of men at work.
The famous caterer, Westbrook. of Hunting
don, to get eren with the Camp Meeting folks,
who had a special law passedforbidding
transient storekeeping within a mile of the
camp meeting without permission of the camp
authotities, recently bought apiece of ground
near the front of the Newton Hamilton camp
grounds, took out a mercantile license, and is
already keeping store there !—Lewistown Dem

Our special friend, Prof. J. H. Brumbaugh,
has been promoted to the principalship of the
Huntingdon Normal School to fill the vacancy
caused by the death of the late principal,
Prof. J. M. %tick, deceased. This institution
hes met with unprecedented success—scarcely
two years old, its elegant and commodious
new building is already filled with students,
and a faculty comprising ten teachers.—Aftl

A Grangers' tri-State picnic, composed of
members of the order from the States of Penn
sylvania, Maryland, and West Virginia, will
be held at Williams' Grove, Cumberland
to inty, thirteen miles south-west of Harris
burg, on the 27th, 28th, and 29th days of
August. Low excursion rates will be had
with all the lines of railroad. Each member
is requested to take samples of grain and
other products of the farm for exhibition.
Squirrels are reported unusually scarce in
the hills and bottoms. The rabbit crop is al
so said to be short. A gentleman told us, the
other day, that last season he could hardly
rake together a sheaf of wheat without a rab
bit running from under it, while this season
he did not see more than half a dozen cotton
tails during the entire harvest. This will be
unpleasant news for the members of the flare
and Hound Club of our town.
James Williams, an employe of the Sandy
Run Coal Co., at Hopewell, met with an ac
cident which cost him his life, on last Tuesday,
the 14th inst. He was working in the mines
at the time, and a large body of coal, (about
three tons,) came loose and fell upon him,
crushing him so as to cause instant death. He
is said to have been a very good miner and a
first-rate man. He leaves a wife and five
children to mourn his death.—Bedfoi d Gazette.
Miss Helen Mar White, the popular young
elocutionist and reader, has recently created
quite a furore in the fashionable circles of the
East, by her remarkable talent and wonderful
personal beauty, and we understand that
overtures are being made towards inducing
her to appear in this place during the season,
and judging from the flattering encomiums
which she has received in Boston and other
large cities, it is safe to predict a brilliant re
ception.
A heifer, belonging to Mr. Jesse Summers,
was killed on Allegheny street, on Saturday
evening, by a passing train of cars. The ac
cident happened about half-way between
Third and Fourth streets, and the velocity of
the train was such that the animal was
knocked from the track to the sidewalk on
the opposite side of the street, a distance of
fifteen or twenty feet. This is the second cow
that Mr. Summers has lost within the past two
weeks, and the fourth within two years.
In an editorial comment on advertising
schemes, the Reading (Penn.) Times says :
"There are men who would rather spend $lO
or $2O in rail-card or board nuisances, which
may be seen by a few hundred people, than to
expend the same sum in their home papers,
where tens of thousands will see their cards
every day. This is an age of newspaper read
ing, and the sooner business men come to
realize this fact in all its importance, the bet
ter it will be for business generally, and the
better it will be for themselves."
The Central Pennsylvania Dental Associa
tion met in the rooms of County Superinten
dent, M. L. McQuown, in Clearfield, Pa., Wed
nesday and Thursday, the 16th and 17th lusts.
The society had an unusually pleasant and
very profitable meeting. The stated subjects
and essays were each taken up in order and
discussed. A clinic was held iu the office of
Dr.llighole, where Dr. Hamilton demonstrated
th• use of cohesive foil. The officers elected
for the ensuing year were : Dr. G. L. Robb,
President; Dr. M. L. Logan, Vice President;
Dr. J. C. M. Hamilton, Recording Secretary ;
Dr. J. L. R. Higbold, Corresponding Secre
tary ; Dr. J. D. Geissinger, Treasurer.
Elmer Friedley, and a couple of companions,
while bathing in the canal, on Saturday night
last, opposite a small culvert, near Fourteenth
street, found the type and three composing
sticks which bad bees carried off by the van
dals who sacked the office of the Home Monthly,
a week or two ago. The type was in a bag.
but in attempting to raise it the bottom gave
way and the type fell to the bottom of the
canal, from which place about a peck of it
was recovered by the boys before they left
the water. We do hope that the possession
of the bag may lead to the detection, convic
tion and punishment of the heartless wretches
who perpetrated this great wrong against one
of our most respected and industrious young
men.
DEATH OF Da: GEORGE MEARS.—Thd
community was surprised, on Wednesday eve
ning, by the unexpected announcement of the
sudden death of Dr. George Mears. The Doc
tor left the Arlington House, in Houtzdale,
about fifteen minutes before six o'clock, P. u.,
with a horse and buggy, intending to visit
Janesville and return the same evening. About
thirty minutes later, Mr. William Smythe
came to the Arlington with the startling news
that Dr. Mears had been found dead, by the
roadside, a short distance from town. When
found by Mr. Smythe, the Doctor was not yet
dead, but was evidently in a dying condition,
and the man scarcely knowing what to do,
hastened to the farm of a Mr. Shoff, where
he procured assistance, and returning, found
the Doctor dead.
It was generally known among Dr. Mears'
friends, that he was subject to epilepsy, or a
similar ailment, and that he usually provided
himself with medicinal remedies to be used in
emergencies that might occur when medical
or other assistance could not be immediately
obtained. 80Q11 as the sad intelligence
reached Houtzdale a number of persons hast
ened to the scene of death, and after carefully
examining the position and ?ituation of the
body, it was found that death bad resulted
from natural causes. The Doctor had fallen
with his face upon the ground, and was found
a few feet in the rear of the buggy, with the
lines in his right hand, and his left hand in
one of his pockets, grasping a package of med
icine which be, no doubt, would have taken
as a remedy, had he not been prostrated by
the sudden attack. In drawing the lines, the
horse was guided to the right hand side or the
road, where the wheel of the vehicle ran over
a log, which probably caused the Doctor to
fall out upon the ground.
Dr. Mears was about fifty-five years of age ;
generous, honest, upright, and highly re
spected by everybody who knew him. His
genial disposition, mild and pleasant address,
with his sterling social qualities, won for the
Doctor hosts of friends wherever he was
known. At one time he was engaged in the
coal business in Luzerue district, and o about
the year 1857, he went to Broad Top where
he was identified with the coal operations of
that region for many years, and we believe
still had an interest there at the time of his
death. Soon after the development of the
Clearfield region, he engaged in the same
business here, and was about embarking in a
new coal enterprise in the immediate vicinity
of Osceola.
We never knew such universal regret and
genuine sympathy to be manifested at the
death of any person not an actual resident of
the community, as in the case of our friend,
Dr. Mears. All unite in declaring him to have
been a perfect gentleman in every sense of the
term. But he is gone new, and whilst we
shall miss him, his memory will long be cher
ished in the hearts of our people.— Osceola
Reveille, 10th inst.
A HORRIBLE DEATH—A young man
named Richard 0. Jones, met with a shocking
death in Johnstown, on Saturday morning
last, in what is known as the Rod Mill, be
longing to the Cambria Iron Company. His
work was to catch the red hot rods as they
left the rolls and guide them through the last
pass before they are wound upon the spindle.
The Johnstown Tribune, which gives a detail
ed account of the terrible accident, says that
at a quarter after 5 o'clock, only fifteen min
utes before the usual quitting time, one of the
long red-hot reds, whose end he had just in
serted in his part of the rolls, became twisted
as it was guided along the iron floor behind
him by a boy named John Bingham. The
rolls were running at the rate of four hundred
and fifty revolutions per minute, and the twist
caused the wire to curvet through the air, one
of the loops falling over young Jones' body,
just below the ribs, and drawing him down
on his knees with his back against the rolls,
through which the wire sped with lightning
like rapidity. A fellow workman named John
Devine was standing within a few feet of the
victim, but was powerless to render any as•
sistance. John Rowley seized an axe, and
with one blow severed the wire, but not be
fore it had cut and burned its way through
the body of the victim. The left arm was sev
ered between the elbow and shoulder, the
right between the elbost and wrist, and a por
tion of the back-bone was all that held the
mutilated body together. His bowels were
cut into small pieces and fell out in a mass
on the floor. Death is supposed to have re
sulted almost instantaneously. There was a
slight quivering of the muscles half a minute
afterward, but that was all.
DEATH ON TLII!: RAIL—The Day Ex
press, on Tuesday, struck and killed an un
known man at No. 8 bridge, a short distance
above Spruce Creek. The body was brought
to this place and interred on Wednesday. The
deceased was about 25 years of age, six feet
high, brown hair and light complexion.
We learn that Pacific Express, on Wednes
day morning, struck and killed a tramp near
M'Veytown. There was nothing found about
him that would lead to his identification.
It was a happy circumstance for George
M. Cobb, of Westford, Vt., that Kidney-Wort
found its way into his dwelling, so less than
three members of the family having been
cured. As a eathartic and diuretic it acts
surely and without pain and cures obstinate
cases of liver complaints, Kidney diseases and
piles.

A FRIGHTFUL ACCIDENT.
Three Men Torn to Atoms by the
Premature Explosion of a Blast
in a Stone Quarry.
TEE G EOEND STREWN WITH THEIR LI MRS
AND SHREDS OF FLESH.
The most terrible accident that. it has ever
been our duty to record, and one which has
cast a gloom over the entire community, oc
curred about a quarter past three o'clock, on
Tuesday afternoon, in the quarry being open
ed for the purpose of procuring stone for the
foundation walls of the new penitentiary, sit
uate on the apposite side of the river, about
one mile and a half west of this place. It was
occasioned by the premature explosion of a
heavy charge of powder, and three human be•
ings were literally torn to atoms by its force.
The names of the unfortunate victims were
lichael Ryan, of Philadelphia, who had the
contract for furnishing the stone ; William
Keith, of Lock Haven ; and Joseph Honker
oney, of this place, better known to many of
our citizens as "the big Italian."
The men were opening the quarry by
what is known as "crevice blasting," and at
the time of the accident were engaged in pre
paring a blast in a large fissure in the rocks,
into which they had already worked three
kegs of powder, and which was to receive
three additional kegs before it would be ready
to be touched off. The powder already in the
crevice had been firmly tamped with sand, and
the men had just commenced putting in the
contents of the fourth keg when the explosion
occurred. The Italian was dipping the powder
from the keg with a tin cup and pouring it
into the fissure, Keith was sitting close beside
him, and Ryan was tamping the powder, using
for the purpose an iron rod, or an instrument
kncwn among quarrymen as a "spoon," and
which was the cause of the explosion. The
bodies of Ronkeroney and Keith were thrown a
distance of fifty or sixty yards, and when
found were a shapeless mass. Keith's body
was cut in twain, the upper portion of which
was torn into fragments. The body of the
Italian was found but a step or two from that
of Keith, with the side and upper portion of
the head blown away. Ryan's body was not
found until four hours after the explosion,
when It was discovered near the shore on the
opposite side of the river, fully three hundted
yards distant from the scene of the accident.
The only part recovered was the trunk ofhis
body, and it was a torn and shapeless mass ;
the lower part of ft has not yet been found,
which, most likely, is at the bottom of the
river. (inc of his shoes, with a foot in it torn
off at the ankle, was found near where he
had been standing at the moment of the ex
plosion. James Davis, of our town, who was
employed at the quarry, and who was in the
act of banding a keg filled with sand to the
men, escaped bodily injury, but the heavy
concussion rendered him entirely deaf.
A. P. and W. A. Wilson, of our town, drove
out that road, and hitching their horse some
distance away, went to the quarry to see what
progress the men were making. William
clambered up the hillside to the quarry, and
only a few seconds before the explosion he had
been peering into the crevice, but seeing Ryan
using an iron rod for tamping purposes lie
became frightened at the danger and stepped
back a few steps, and none too soon, for he
bad only got twenty feet away when the ex
plosion occurred. lle was standing rather
behind the place where the men were work
ing, and was sheltered by a large mass of
rocks of considerable height, else he could not
have escaped death. A. P. Wilson, in com
pany with James Gehrett, was standing about
fifty feet distant, watching the men at work,
and seeing the flash he jumped behind a large
tree, where be and Gehrett were sheltered
from the flying rocks. Both the Wilsons were
considerably stunned by the terrible concus
sion. The remains of the unfortunate men
were gathered up, put into rough coffins, and
conveyed to an empty house standing on the
outskirts of Smithfield, where they were pre
pared for burial.
We believe all three of the victims of this
terrible accident were married men and had
Coroner Dr. A. B. Brumbaugh summoned a
jury of six persons, and after hearing the
testimony of a couple of witnesses they re
turned the following verdict:
"That the said persons on the 22d day of
July, about three o'clock in the afternoon,
came to their death from a blast in the rock,
near the breast of what is known as the Scone
Dam, about one mile from Huntingdon, being
prematurely discharged, in the opinion of the
jury, from carelessly using iron rods and
scrapers in tamping the blast instead of
wooden rods and scrapers."
THE . GREAT E LECTRIC LIGHT.—W. W.
Cole, the well known showman, has introduced
this wonderful invention to the public, and
now uses it to illuminate the vast tents of his
famous show, and it will be on exhibition both
afternoon and evening daring the sojourn of
his mammoth circus and menagerie in Hun
tingdon on Wednesday, August 6th. This
marvelous invention bids fair to eventually
supersede all other modes of illumination and
the tact that it is to be presented to the pnblic
view in a thorough and practical manner, will
prove gratifying to the thousands of visitors
who daily witness his great show. A thirty
horse-power engine is required to furnish the
electric current, and seven huge chambers are
used which produce a lumiuouq, luxuriant
light in somparison with which all other il
luminations are but gloomy end shameful
shadows, while this wondrous agency diffuses
a halo of light more than equal to 30,000 gas
jets, and under its sun-like rays every object
becomes as distinct as though it were mid
day. Aside from this phenominal feature, Mr.
Cole promises more new and novel attractions
than any three shows that travel. There are
those mighty giants, Capt. Bates and wife,
who reach the enormous height of eight feet,
a troupe of six trick stallions, which have
been educated to a wonderful degree of excel
lence, a den of ferocious performing lions and
tiger, and rare wild animals from nearly
every zone on the face of the wide world,
while the press throughout the land pro
nounce his circus the best one in existence.
Over a million dollars are invested and all its
beauties are made doubly beautiiul by the
great electric light.
PASSED IN lils CHECKS.—The old boat
men of this section will remember Christ.
Spayd, a professional gambler and thief who
generally made his headquarters at Harris
burg, from which place he would make excur
sions along the line of the canal during the
palmy days of that thoroughfare. We have
often heard them speak ofehrist. Spayd when
recounting the incidents of their life on the
ditch. Those of them who read this notice
will be surprised to learn that this old of
fender was hung to a tree, by a band of
lynchers, in Arizona, a few days ago. During
his sojourn in the east he spent two terms in
the penitentiary—one from Perry county and
one from Dauphin, and at the time he made
his escape from The Dauphin county prison,
in August of last year, he was awaiting trans
portation to the penitentiary to serve a two
years' sentence for burglary. The Philadel
phia Record, from which we learn the particu
lars of his death, says that in company with
another fellow after his style, he went West to
grow up with the country. It did not take
Spayd long to grow. His particular weakness
was highway robbery. This was tried in Ari
zona. Spayd was caught. When the sun set
a crowd of citizens came up to the jail, and
Mr. Spayd came out in their company. His
pal found him in the morning, grafted to a tree
by means of a rope, while his spirit had
climbed the golden stairs. spayd was one of
the most notorious criminals in the East, but
he became too well known, and determined
to ply his avocation elsewhere—with the re
sult noted above.
TILE MOORESVILLE CAMP MEETING.—
The Mooresville Camp Meeting will commence
Thursday, Sept. 11th, and continue one week.
The committee in charge have arranged for
the comfortable accommodation of all who
may attend, Boarding by the term, day, meal
or lunch. Also sleeping accommodations will
be furnished at moderate rates. The commit
tee have resolved to preserve the sanctity of
the Christian Sabbath on the grounds. Noth
ing will be sold on that day except food for
man and beast. Anything to disturb the
quiet and order of the meeting will not be al
lowed at any time. During the encampment,
at the ringing of the bell for service, the res
taurant will be closed, and all persons on the
grounds will be expected to come inside the
circle of tents. We cordially invite all lovers
of the Lord Jesus, and all lovers of good order,
to come and prayerfully join us in a week's
delightful worship of the Creator, iv his own
leafy temple. May we enjoy in a richer de
gree the refreshing baptism of the Divine
Spirit than has visited this sacred spot in
days that are gone by. Persons desiring tents
or other information, should at once address

LOCAL. CLIPPINGS.—From Our Paper,
published at. Three Springs, we clip the fol
lowing items :
Prof. APNeil and family, are visiting friends
at Pittston.
Mr. Morgan, of Robertsdale, has taken charge
of the Heck ore mine. lie will 'move his fam
ily to thi* 'Ogee.
The Baptist have placed a bell on their
church. It was presented to them by S. Me-
Vit ty, esti., and manufactured at Middletown,
l'a.
Samuel Brewer shipped from Ibis place du
e.ng the mouth of June, 220 tons of fossil ore,
and there was shipped from the Heck mine
during the same month, 120 tons.
The bell for the M. E. church has arrived.
It was bought from the Blymer Manufacturing
Co., Cincinnati, and weighs, including the
mounting, 27511k1. It finely finished and
of superior tone.
Work in the ore banks on the lands of Mr.
Green has been suspended. The cause of the
suspension is said to be that there is too much
sand mixed with the ore. Mr. Brewer, who
had charge of the mines, has moved to Berks
county.
The Mineral Spins of Saltillo, are becom
ing quite noted, judging from the number of
persons that visit them. Mr. McCarthy is
shipping this water to distant points, and the
demand is steadily increasing. Why shouldn't
Saltillo be a Saratogo ?
Some four weeks since, Abraham Pheasant,
of Cass township, had his ankle badly crushed
by being run over by a wagon. It was feared
for sometime that the limb would have to be
amputated; but on our visiting Mr. Pheasant
last week, we learned from him it war
thought then that the limb would get well.
The Sunday Schools of Saltillo held a pic
nic on the 4th in the grove above town. Ad
dresses were given by Messrs. S. M'Vitty, G.
W. Cohill, John Drake, Jesse Smith, C. It.
McC irthy and S. L. Glasgow. The speaking
was interspersed with appropriate music. The
affair was pleasant to both the old and the
young. .
Mr: C. 0. Vanderanter, of Hamilton coun
ty, Va., visited our town last week. We were
pleased to see his smiling face once more.
He informed us that he was employed by the
East Broad Top Railroad Co. to locate a line
for a railroad, commencing at or near Rock
Hill, and running up the Aughwick to the
iron ore fields in the neighborhood of Ft. Lit
tleton.
Morris Woodward, the fireman on engine
No. 6, who was scalded by the blouing out of
a plug from the boiler of the engine, some
four weeks - since, died on the 13th inst., from
the injuries he then received. His remains
were conveyed to this place on last Tuesday,
accompanied by a large concourse of people,
where, after religious services, they were inter
red in the cemetery. The deceased was aged 19
years, and son of Rev. R. S. Woodward. It is
commendable to the officials and employes of
the railroad for the substantial aid and un
ceasing attention given the deceased, through
out the long weeks of his excruciatingsuffering
As we are informed, they spared neither means
or attention for his comfort and relief.
SHIaLEY SQUIBS.—
Corn looks well, and bids fair to make a
good crop.
Apples will only yield a middling crop
Smaller fruits will be plenty.
The dry weather is injuring the peach crop,
but there will be a large yiald yet.
The wheat crop is all housed, and some are
threshing. The crop is an average one.
John H. Lutz threshed eighteen bushels of
wheat in nine minutes "with his new steam
thresher.
The oats crop will be better than was ex
pected soma time back ; the straw is short but
has good heads.
We are informed that a daughter of Elder
John Span Ogle, of Hill Valley, was thrown
from a buggy, a few days ago, and injured
severely, but have been unable to get the
particulars.
Miss Minnie Harmon, daughter of Jackson

The True Way to Invigorate.
The true way to invigorate a feeble system
is to infuse activity into the operations of the
stomach, that wondrous alembic in which the
food is .transmuted into the constituents of
blood, the chief element of our vitality.
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, because it ac•.
complishes this end, is greatly to be preferred
to many so called tonics, useful indeed as ap
petizers, but inoperative as aids to digestion
assimilation. This sterling cordial, while it
invigorates the stomach, healthfully stimu•
lates the liver, bowels, and kidneys, ensuring
the escape through the regular channels of
effete avid useless matter thrown off by the
system, Which is thus purified as well as
invigorated by it. Its tonic influence is soon
made manifest by an increase of vital energy
and a more active and regular discharge of
every physical function, and it has the further
effect of rendering the system unassailable by
malarial epidemics. . [julyll

HONORED AND BLESSED.—When a
board of eminent physicians and chemists
announced the discovery that by combining
some well known valuable remedies, the most
wonderful medicine was produced, which
would cure such a wide range of diseases that
most all other remedies could be dispensed
with, many were sceptical ; but proof of its
merits by actual trial has dispelled all doubt,
and to day the discoverers of that great medi
cine, Hop Bitter's, are honored and blessed by
all as benefactors. DulylB-2t.
HEAT relaxes the system and opens the
way for diseases to attack the depressed and
weary body. People of judgment and ex
perience at such times make use of Kidney-
Wort, as this great remedy keeps up the tone
of the whole body by enabling the Liver,
Bowels and Kidneys to perform their func
tions perfectly.
A RARE CHANCE.—We have just re
ceived a large quantity of FLORIDA WATER,
from the first class establishment of E. F.
Kunkel, of Philadelphia, which we are selling
at the low price of seventy cents per bottle.
It is an excellent toilet article, and sells the
world over for $l.OO Now is the time to buy
cheap. tf.
THE BEST BUTTER Comm fur dairy
men's use, summer or winter, is that made by
Wells. Richardson & Co., Burlington, Vt., and
called "Perfected." It gives the perfected June
tint, and does not injure the butter as does
the crude annatto and preparations made from
it.
BARGAINS !—Mrs. E. M. Simonson
respectfully informs her customers, and the
public generally, that she is selling her Straw
and Fancy Goods at very low prices, some of
them below cost. Her stock embraces the
