' TSamped to-'Death by Horses.— The New Castle Guardian of this week says that on Saturday afternoon lust a ■Uttle.Vson of Mr. Joshua Burgeon, of Union township, Lawrence county, and grandson of Mr. Robert Cameron, was riding a horse to water, 'when several other horses near by began to play. The animal on which the little fellow was riding became excited and started to run, the others following closely. The boy kept his seat, however, until near his home, .when his horse kicking at the. others, threw him, off. Ho fell among the,excited animals, and was tramped so hgtlly that ho died on Sunday morning. This is the third grand-child of Mr, ; Cameron that has met with a violent death within the post ten years. Burglarious Attempt— On Tuesday morning of last week, shortly before daylight, some party entered the dwell ing of Mrs. Catharine Martin, on North Street, by opening, one of the dining-* room windows. The door that leads from .the dining-room to the hall being locked on the outside, prevented his further entrance. This burglar was evidently after money, ns there were In the kitch en, to which he had access, a can of lard, a ham, flour, bread and other artl oles which he could liavo carried off very easily ; but nolhlug was taken that could be ascertained- At, or about the same lime, the dwell ing of Win. Hastings, a few doors,east of the above, pu the same street, was en tered in the same manner. The villain, af ter having ransacked the lower part of ,the house, proceeded up stairs to the room whqro Mrs. Hastings was sleeping, went to her bed and felt under the pll "!owß,..6upposlug T .wa^pre.sume t Jhat she had money there. Failing in this lie next struck a match, and proceeded to open the bureau drawers, but by this time l&rs.JH. had awakened, and seeing the man at 'the bureau, gave a scream, which brought to-her assistance Mr. Jas. Waggoner, who lives in the house adjoin ing, when the burglar fled, without car rying off any booty. The house of James Kerr, on North Hanover Street, was also entered on the same morning. Whether anything was taken therefrom we have not learned. Bobbed. —On Sunday night last, Chris tian Landley was robbed of a pocket book and a quantity of money, near the bank of the Conodoguinet Creek,.in the vicinity of Judge Watt’s farm, about two miles west of this place.

Silver Pitcher.— -A handsome Silver Ice Pitcher has been presented to tho young Ladies’ Organ Committee of the 2nd piesbyterien Church. It is the in tention to present it to the member of the Board of School Directors of this Borough who shall receive the largest number of votes. The pitcher may be seen in the win dow of Mr. Thomas Conlyn, also at the festival at the Court House on Thursday and Friday evenings next, 29th and 30th lost. Price of votes, 10 cents. To Railroad Travelers.— The fol lowing “rules of the road” are based upon legal decisions, and should be universally known : The courts have decided that applicants for tickets on railroads can be ejected V they do not offer the exact amount of their fare. Conductors are not bound to “ make change.” All railroad tickets are good until liked, conditions “ good for this day only,” or otherwise admitting time or genuineness, are ot no account. Passengers who lose their tick ets can be ejected from the oars unless they purchase a second one. Passengers are bound to observe decorum in the cars, and are obliged to comply with all rea-. sonable demands to show their tickets. Standing on the platform, or otherwise violating the rules of the company, ren ders a person liable to be put off the train. No person has a right to monopolize more seats than he has paid for; and any article, left in the seat while the owner is tem porarily absent, entitles him to his seat oh his return. School Directors may Borrow Money by Order of Court— For the information of the School Directors of our county, wo publish., the following State Lawpassedby the last Legislature. Be it enacted, tie,. That the several courts of common pleas in this common wealth shall have power to authorize the school directors of any school district within their respective jurisdictions, to borrow money for the purpose of erecting school houses, to an amount not exceed ing five per centum upon the lost preced ed adjusted tri-ennlal valuation of the property of said school district; and the said court may decree that such moneys shall be raised by bonds, mortgages or other security, at .any rate not exceeding eight per centum, free from all taxation, and reimbursable at any period not ex ceeding twenty years from the date of such decree : Provided , Thot before ex ercising jurisdiction of the petition of the board of school directors, or a majority thereof for such decree, the said board shall produce to the court the consent, in writing, of a majority in number of the qualified electors of such district: And provided further, That no such de cree shall be made until notice by adver tisements in two papers of said county, -rif so many shall be therein published— shall have been given by the said board of directors, during at least four weeks, of their intention to make application for such fieeree- The above act was approved by the Governor, and became a law the 21st day of April, 1871. The American. Newspaper Jteporler of New York, says the metropolitan or city journals are comparatively ol very little value for many kinds of advertising. They are glanced at hastily by most of their readers, and few persons examine them with the same care as the weekly papers circulated in the country are read. In the case of the country newspapers, the reader has leisure; and is tempted to examine the whole of the paper, so that an advertisement, even if not very con spicuous, is likely to arrest his attention. Hence the same space in a weekly paper Is much more valuable, and, of course, a higher price should be paid for it. Good Roads.— Some writer epitomizes the arguments in favor of good roads. “ Good roads benefit every one residing along their course. Good roads save horse flesh; they facilitate the transportation of produce to market ; they lend attrac tiveness to the eye of the stronger; they Increase the traffic and business of a town and Its vitality In all iho various brunches of trade. Show us a town which receives a large country trade by means of the fine roads leading to It, and we will show you a place that is lively, progressive and thrifty, with money circulating plentiful ly, and men In all branches of business busy as beavers." Refreshing.—We mean the cold and sparkling soda water, to be had at J. B. Haveratlok’s "drug store, South Hanover street, next door to Inhoff's grocery We had a severe rain and hail storm In this vicinity on Tuesday evening last. Fearful and Fatal Accident.— On Friday morning last Mrs. Hose Hummel, wife of D. D. Mumma,-of Harrisburg, who was spending some weeks at the house of Dr. Kauffman, near Brown’s Mill in this county, came to her death in the following heartrending manner : On the morning named, the Doctor had a call to make near the saw mill about two miles.from Brown’s Mill. Mrs. M. ac companied him in a buggy. When they arrived at the house of the patient the Doctor got out of .the buggy and.bitched the horse with one of the lines. He in sisted updn her going up to the house with him, but she' declined, saying that she would remain in the buggy. He then asked her to alight and take a seat on a log, in the shade near by, but she declin ed this also, saying that she would be morq .comfortable In the buggy. He had not-more than entered the house when be heard a sefeam, and- going to the dbor he saw the horse loose from the post, and starting awufymawUik. Ho ran.-ta her assistance and called three times to her to jump out of the buggy, but she still • remained in it. The -doctor had two fences to cross, and before he could get to Jhe horse—now storting on a trot—he again called to her to jump out. The an imal now broke Into a fearful rote. The Doctor followed after as fast as he could., About a quarter of a mile from the start ing the lady was thrown from the buggy, and when the Doctor came up she was almost lifeless, and in the agonies of death, the blood running from her nose and mouth. There was a deep cut in the back of the head, and also a severe bruise on the cheek. Everything that was pos sible was done to restore the lady tocon sci ousness, but she** died in twenty min utes afterwards. The cut in the back of the head is supposed to have been caused by the tire of one of the wheels, which was found to be broken. As may be nat urally supposed, the doctor is in great distress. A dispatch was sent to her hus band and friends at Harrisburg immedi ately, the former arriving from that place in the evening. Her remains were ta ken to her home in the morning train on Saturday- We understand her husband isnssistilufßtate Librarian, and that they had only been married two years. Theac clpent is one of the saddest that has ever happened in this county, and our whole community sympathize with- the hus band and friends in their sad bereave meht. The Harrisburg daily Patriot, of Sat day, says : The suddeu announcement of . Mrs. Mamma’s sudden and terrible death has shro.uded her extended circle of friends in gloom, as it has sunk her bereaved family into the depths of an guish, Snatched as it were from this earth in the springtime of life, when the horizon of the future was tinged with the roseate views of happiness and joy, re flecting back the good works withoharm ing effeot and influencing the immediate circle by the acts of a Christian life, her sudden departure from this temporal sphere is accompanied by all the bitter ness and sllng.of mortal anguish, but the memory of her life lives as a monument, dear to all who knew her. Tho silver tie was loosed. The golden band Is Joined; and the immortal spirit now, withiu the inner walls of eternal grace* reaps the reward of a well spent life.—Chambers bur'j Public Opinion. A Strange Presentment. The Scranton (Pa.) Republican tells the fol lowing sad story of one of the victims of the late Pitt stem disaster: “Win. James expired.about three o’clock on the after noon of the-Tuesday following the catas trophe, and was the first added tolbelist of those upon whom the death angel laid bis hand in that awful havoc. He was si Welshman, and had been in this country about seven months. On the morning of thedreadful day in question,be had taken his breakfast and his wife had made ready his dinner and set the pail beside him.— For sometime he sat wrapped In thought, his arms folded, his eyes fixed vacantly upon the stove, and a deep melancholy apparently brooding over him. He was aroused from his reverie by his wife tell ing him that h.ls dinner was ready, and that he would be too late as the bell had rung. He started to his feet, and gazing upon her for a moment with a look of tenderness and significance, said to her: "If I should not.come back alive would you be in such a hurry getting me out?” wlfeanswered, "No,” but remarked “that if he was going at all, it was time he was gone." He lifted bis pall without say ing a word, and after kissing his wife, kissed his four little children, who word playing bn the doorstep. When he had gone about fifty yards from his home, he relumed again, and kissed bis wife and children once more with great fervency. His wife noticed that he was tho victim of gloomy forebodings, and as he turned away she was about to entreat him hot to go to work If he apprehended any dan ger. But hope and courage, and the pressing necessities of their family over come her intention* and she let him go. She stood at the door and. watched him on his way to the fatal pit. When at a point where he turned out of her sight, he paused and oast a wistful look toward his home and little ones,* and seeing his wife, waved with his hand a last adieu. He parted with his loved ones forever. The Harrisburg Telegraph some time since announced the murder of, Alexan der M’Keuzie, by the Indians in Arizona. The parents of the deceased, who are both dead; were former residents of Cum berland county. About four months ago Mr. M’Kenzio arrived in Harrisburg from California, where he bad acquired a great fortune in the gold mines. He had left his home thirteen years before and came back to see bis parents, of whom he had heard nothing for many years, and was startled to hear that they were no more. After stopping in Harrisburg he started for Texas, aud now the intelli gence comes that he too is dead. Small-Pox.— A physician in Sioux City, lowa, uses an "ointment made of charcoal and lard to prevent pitting in small-pox. This is applied freely over the surface of the face, neck and hands as soon as the disease is distinguished, and .continued until all symptoms of suppurative fever have ceased. The ap plication always allays the itching, and seems to shorten the duration of the dis ease, and leaves the patient without a blemish, the eruption protected by the ointment not even showing signs of pos tulation, the charcoal preventing the ac tion of light and the lard that of air. Cure Fob Whooping Cough.— The Medical Independent , a medical Journal, gives the following recipe for the cure oi whooping cough: • " Whooping cough Is caused by parasite, (ohllomonae vacme cum,) and may be cured, It is reported, by inhaling the vapors of tar and sulphur, one ounce of tar, to one dram of sulphur, to be burned In the room every night where the patient sleeps. 1 ’ The oats and grass crops In UUs sec tion are short—less than usual—but of goo'd quality. Prof. HlcUcocU’b new and complete An ' nljsls of the Holy Bible, Pnl>- United by A. I. Johnson, Now Toch. After a careful examination of this work, we think It the ifloat wonderful volume thathns ever been brought within our notice, and satisfied that It ought to be In every pastor’s library, accessible to every Sunday-school teacher and scholar, and Indeed in every family In the land. With Its assistance the study of Scrip ture becomes easy and satisfying; the work being so arranged and classified that oven a child can ponder Us pages with profit and pleasure. As an Index to Whatever teachings the Bible contains bn any subject, it 1 is invaluable; and as ex panding one’s own estimate of the hoar ded and varied wisdom of the sacred work as a whole, its merits will be appa rent on even a brief examination. To the; minister it will oftep throw more 'light upon his chosen tbplo than a whole •day of--.wlsdom,:re3earche9,,cpuldßecuro;, while to the teacher, whose time for study is limited, and who yet must ac quire a comprehensive knowledge of his lesson.lt would seem to be peculiarly adapted,- Indeed, it is whether the topical method of Biblical study would not_be vastly more advantageous to the family and also to the private rea der than the old plan of reading through in course. Let him who has read the Bible through each year as though it were a work, taking so many chapters each day, now try Prof. Hitchcock’s an alytical method, and see If ho has not profited by the change. The work abounds in valuable indexes, and being supported by Crudens’ concordance, has ing and interpreting dictionaries; a con densed distionary of all the various relig ious denominations; a concise history of the books of the Bible; tables of Scrip ture weights and measures, together with very fine maps such ds Mr. Johnson has the name of putting before the public. The work is well printed and substan ' tially bound in mo rocco and cloth, and is beautified by some excellent steel en gravings by the well-known American artists, Thomas Nast and F. B. Carpen ter. The following testimonials from' clergymen and other eminent men can not fail placing it in a favorable lightbe fore the public. 11 1 agree with Bev. H. E. Niles, of York, in saying that Hiohcnek'sanalysis of the Holy Bible, by Dr. Hichcook, has been thoroughly examined.and tested by some of the best theologians and Biblical scholars of the land, and I believe is the best book of the kind accessible to the American public." C. P. WING, D. D..

Bowman, Professor of Biblical Language and Literature,. Dickinson College, Carlisle, Pa. June 23,1871. A brief examination of this work con vinces me that it is a most valuable as sistant to the study of the Sacred Scrip tures. A- W, Lilly, Pastor Zion Lutji&'an Churchy Yorhy Pa.y formerly ot June 21, 1871., Cumbo'land Co, Carlisle, Pa., June 2-ltli, 1871, Hitchcock's Analysis of the Bible I re gard as alike beautiful and useful. Its admirable arrangement, rich, varied and appropriate contents, render it an inval uable help to the study and better under standing of the Sacred Scriptures. In the possession of the private Christian, the Sabbath School and Bible teacher and minister ofithe gospel it will bo,a treasure of knowledge wisely arranged; judiciously condensed and of great value in itself. Hencel mostcheerfully recom m end it and wish it a wide spread cir culation. J. a. Murray, D. D y Pastor Presbyterian Churoh; Carlisle. Juno 24th. We sometimes sing, “God Is his own Interpreter, And ho will make It clear," In Dr. Hitchcock's Analysis of the Holy, Bible, this truth is fully verified. I have long had Dr. West’s Analysis of the Bible in my library and have found it of no little value in the study of the Holy Scriptures. But ! am free to say that this”new analysis contains a num ber of decided improvements on any thing of the kind yet offered to the pub lic. I only wish every Sabbath School in our country could be the possessor of this valuable volume. It would he of great assistance In the preparation of S. S. lessons - It is highly recommended by many of the ripest Biblical scholars of our land, of all . denominations. It contains not only a very carefully prepared, analysis of the Bible but the whole of Cruden’s very superior concordance, which alone is worth to the earnest Bible student.as much as the price of the entire volume, A careful examination of its pronouncing dictionary of Scripture names would save muuy who are often called upon to read the Scriptures in public, from mortifying blunders. , . J. D. Brown, Pastor First M. F, Church, Carlisle, Pa, I deem it almost superfluous to add any word of mine to the many recomen dations of “Hitchcock’s” new and com plete analysis of the Holy Bible, by many of the moat learned and noted Di vines and Biblical scholars who have so highly and favorably commended it to the confidence of students of the Script ures. I will only add I believe it the best thing of the kind thus offered to the public, I feel sure it will prove itself satisfactory to all who desire a thorough and systematic analysis of the Bible. .1. Swartz, Pasior Luth. Church, Carlisle. “The more I examine Dr. Hiohooek’s analysis of the Bible the better am I pleased with it. During the last ten years I have hy its use become greatly attached to the analysis of Dr. West. An examination of Dr. Hlohcock's, however, shows at once the superiority in arrange ment and method, while the addition of Cruden's Conoordßuoe revised by Mr. Eddie gives to the work both efficiency and completeness to every student of the Bible it is invaluable... ~ D. Eberley; President Cottage Mill College, York, Pa,, formerly of Cumberland Co, It Is without the least hesitation or re striction of opinion that I commend Hiahcock’s analysis of the Bible not on ly to the critical, but to the general Bible student. It really must bo regarded as one of .the wonders of the literary, age to condense an entire library of religious literature within 1,2G0 pages ; yet such has been done so logically in this work that a way faring man, though a fool, need not err therein. I repeat, I haveno hesitation whatever in pronouncing it the most valuable aid that can be put in to the hands of both of the clergy and laity. There Is not a single subject that the analytical mind of the has not ar ranged. Prof, S. B. Heiqbs, ■ York, Pa. From. Hon. 0. P. Chase, Chief Justice of the United States: It la Impossible to speak In too strong terms of commendation to the student of the book, who desires to learn its souse from itself. It is truly Invaluable. The addition of Cruden’s concordance assists the main design. Hundreds of similar recommendations could be given If space would permit.. . We are glad to learn that the work is being brought into our county, and hope that when our readers are balled on they will show their appreciation of the new and happy idea of such a work by at least examining it, as we are certain they will be paid for their time. , • 1_ .

Nurseries, are still in town, taking orders for fruit and ornamental trees, vines, flowers, and, In fact, shrub bery of every kind to be obtained at first class nurseries, such as these popular and well-known gentlemen represent.— Their facilities for Ailing orders are vast ly superior to those of the last season!— Orders taken now will bo Ailed in the Fall- To those of our citizens who have not yet given them an order, wo would say, pay them a call at Hooker's Hotel, on the corner of Bedford and East Main 'streets* No trouble for them to exhibit their hadsome specimen book. A Friend writing to.us from Balti more, asks if the Doubling Gap Springs hotel Is open to visitors this season. We are unable to answer the question. Harvest.— Our agricultural friends are now engaged in cutting their wheat and rye crops, and, as wo learn from all portions of the Valley, the yield promises to be abundant. The quality, too, -is flne. A Wholesome Field Drink.—The excessive use of cold water during the sweltering heat of summer often results In serious and alarming Illness. It is, therefore, advisable that some beverage should be substituted for It, of which those oppressed can partake with safety. For this purpose we are aware of no better or more refreshing drink than the follow ing: Take of the beat white Jamaica gin” ger root, Carefully bruised, two ounces'* cream of tartar, one ounce; water, six quarts,-to be boiled for about five minutes, then strained ; to the strained liquor add, one pound of sugar, and again place It over the fire; keep It well stirred until the sugar is perfectly dissolved, a,nd then pour\ it Into' 'an earthen vessel, Into which you have previously put of tartar ic acid two drachms, and the rind of one lemon, and let it remain till the beat is reduced to a lukewarm temperature; then add a tablespopnful of yeast, stir ring them well'together;-and bottle for use. The corks must be well secured.— The drink will be in high perfection in 76uF reffesh-- ing as well as wholesnme beverage, and one which may bo-partaken of without any unpleasant results even In the hot test weather. Another Pest.—We have been told by an experienced' farmer, that a new pest in the shape of a worm about an inch in length, has made its appearance in some of our win at fields. The process by which It is generated and operates Is said to be this: The egg is deposited in the green roof, of the grain, where it hatches and comes to maturity, in the shape of a worm, which when developed eats its - way upwards in the centre of the stalk, to the bead. The stalk dies and turns white and eventually withers away. Any farmer may discover the presence of thlsnewanddestruotlveinseotbyaslmple examination •of his wheat fields. If he finds any of the stocks turning white, let him take bis penknife and slit them open and he will be likely to discover the worm operating in the centre. They are said to be quite destructive at places.— York True Democrat. Shooting Affray.—On Igst Saturday evening a difficulty occurred, in a lager beer saloon, in Columbia, between a young man of this place, named John "Wolf, and Philip Lehr, of York, em-. ployed as brakemen on the railroad be tween this place and York, which resul ted,in the shooting of Lehr, The ball entered on the leftside, passing between the ribs, inflicting a painful wound.— Lehr was taken to Black’s Hotel, where the wound was probed, but the ball was, not found, and has not been we believe,* up to the hour of our going to press. The wounded man, we are glad to learn, is doing as well as can be expected, with strong hopes of his recovery. He was taken to his home in York on Monday morning. There are many, reports as to the cause of the affray, hut we refrain from giving any of them, preferring to await a legal investigation. Wolf was arrested in this place and taken to Lan caster jail to await trial.— Wrightsville Star. , Banks Closed.—The Carlisle Deposit, First National and Farmers' Banks will be closed on Tuesday, July 4th. Henry Clay’s home at Ashland, has been purchased by the University of Kentucky f0r.590,000.

D., 1871. Joseph Neely, Begister. TO NEBRASKA CALIFORNIA. * KANSAS AND THE B. & M. R. R. LANDS. .- The “ Burlington Route,” bo called, lies right In the path of the SUr of Empire. It runs almost immediately in the centre of the great westward movement of emigration. Crossing Illinois and lowa, It strikes the Missouri river at three points. * These three points are.the gateways into three great sections of the trans-Missouri region. The Northern gate is Omaha, where the great Pacific road will take you to tho land of gold and grapes, sunny mountains, and perpetual summer. The middle gate is -Flattsmoutb, which opens upon tho south half of Nebraska , south-of the Platte river, a region unsurpassed on the conti nent for agriculture and grazing. Just here are the B. &M. Railroad lands, concerning which Geo. S. Harris, the laud officer at Burlington, -lowa, can give you all information, and in the heart of them is Lincoln, the State Capital and, present terminus of tho road. The Southern gate leads to Kansas, by con nections with, the St. Joe and Kansas City. The trams*of the Burlington run smoothly and safely, and make all connections. It runs the best of coaches, Pullman Palace and Pullman dining cars, and should you take the Journey for the Journey’s sake alone, yon will bo repaid, or take It to find a home or a farm, and you can not find either better than among the B. & M. lands, where you can buy on ten years’credit, and at a low price. 13 ins In 93 IST otic est FOURTH OF JULY.—The best of everytntng instore for the‘Fourth of July at Wm.
