SAD DROWNING ACCIDENT.—George
Funk, a promising lad, about twelve years

at this place, on Monday last. The ice was
not then sufficiently frozen to bear a man,

their lives and successfully crossed to the
York county side. But on returning
the unfortunate lad got into an air -hole, as
is supposed, and before his comrades could
render hint any assistance he was drowned.
Search was made for his body but as yet it
has not been recovered. This is another
sad warning to venturesome boys.
A NEW THING IN TEE POCKET ]3OOK
Lrs.E.--W. U. Hess, our enterprising book
seller, has just received many new articles
in his line of business, amongst which is
the patent steel-spring pocket book. By
this invention we avoid tho necessity for
rubber bands, or straps, and it is far pref
erable to either for durability and con
venience. The springs being of best quali
ty and temper, always retain their elastici
ty. This patent spring is also attached to
blank books, diariesotc. Call and exam
ine his stock. He has seine of the most
beautiful and convenient diaries we have
ever seen.

cordiugly,and allwho buy at this house will
be treated honorably and fairly, and get
the full worth of the money they invest.
Let our friends go there and they will dud
it is the best place in Philadelphia to buy
handsome, cheap, and fashionable clothing.

umn. -
COAT; Off, EXPLOSlONs.—Kerosene ex
plosions are becoming very frequent, and
are almost always attended with serious
and in many cases fatal results: Pure coal
oil is not explosive when used for illumin
ating purposes,if ordinary care is employed.
The impure, adulturated oil, containing as
it does, gasoline, bemire, or other explo
sive elements, will explode when used in
lamps,uniess very great care is taken. The
best way to avoid ail risks, is to buy the
genuine article. The difference in urice be
tween the best oil and the impure, is only
a few cents per gallon. Wherever a dealer
offers to sell coal oil at considerably cheap
er rates than those asked by .reliable par
ties. it is almost safe to set it down as an
adulterated article. Don't buy it, and you
will be on the safe side.
STYLES AND FASII lONS.—T he latest
"agony" in the make-up of a gentleman's
wardrobe. according to style, is sada to be
blue broadcloth snits, box-toed shoes, and
flekh-colored gloves. Pantaloons have ap
proached thatdogree of tightness which may
be called pinching. Cents are worn very
short, only coming down to the hips. A
few light-colored overcoats aro seen, but
black or dark olive seems to be the favorite
color.. Hats have wider brims, more of a
curve,and not so tall as last season—" Bob"
Fry has them. Neckties are worn of bright
colors. The " Eureka Suspenders" are now
worn altogether by the fashionable. They
can bo had at the cheap dry goods store of
I. 0. Bruner, Columbia, Pa., who is the
only agent for these suspenders, in this part
of the country. They aro a Yankee inven
tion and the best ever Introduced..
A COLD WINTER. REMEMBER, TIIE
POOR.—Winter is at hand, and it is said it
will be an extremely "bard" one; no doubt
it will be to some who have but a limited
supply of the necessaries' of life. Wages
are not so high proportionately us faunily ne
cessaries are,utal the poor of course will be
the sufferers. Now we believe there is not a
render of our paper, iu good circumstances,
who does not know of some poor family
who would be saved the pangs of hunger
and cold during the winter, by the timely
donation of rent, fuel, food or money.
Let this knowledge exhort those in com
fortable circumstances to charity. We may
not be able to give a great amount, but by
carefully and kindly looking into the af
fairs of those whom we know poverty has
sorely oppressed, we can give our little at
the right time, when it may be of service.
There is more poverty and suffering from
actual want, than our citizens know any
thing about. • And now, as the winter
approaches in severity, and this suffering
promises to be greater and greater, let every
reader of means make it his or her busi
ness.to look after some poor family. Those
whoie generosity Prompts them to do this,
will 'certainly find deserving objects of
charity- - '
CIIRISTMAS AND NEW YEAR. GIFTS.—

and New York markets, at reduced prices.

LAFAYETTE COLLEGE.—From a cata
logue of the officers and students of Lafay
ette College, at Easton, Pa., for 180-67, we

YORK. COUNTY ITEMS.--A few days
since, whilst Judge David lgewcomer was
on a visit in the upper end of the county,
and driving through Dillsburg, he was
thrown from his buggy, causing a disloca
tion of the shoulder.
The following gentlemen of York county,
are Notaries Public: Daniel .Q. Albright,
Hanover ; John Wilson, York ; Philip
Miller, Shrewsbury; Daniel Leese, North
Codorus ; Robert Wilson, Wrightsville;
N. E. Seitz, Glen Rock.
The Wrightsville Star says: "A walk
along the shore of the river, at this place,
would soon convince any one of the activity
and extent of the ore business, and the rich
ness and greatness of this valuable mineral
in York county. Daily, long trains of ears
tilled with ore, are brought to this place
from different parts of the county, and un
loaded on the river bank. Largo quantities
are also hauled in wagons, from mines in
the vicinity of the town. During the past
month five thousand, eight hundred and
eight gross tons were transported in cars,
which, added to the amount in wagons,
makes over six thousand tons for the month
of November.
CHESTER. COUNTY ITEMs.—The last
dodge of distillers for evading the revenue
laws,is to ship whisky to market as "milk."
A large quantity of the " critter" was cap
tured last week, near Darby, in milk cans,
ready for shipment to Philadelphia.
On two acres and a quarter of ground,
Joseph Seal, Pennsbury, raised about two
hundred bgshels of corn.
A rich vein of iron ore has recently been
discovered on the farm of .Tames Magraw,
hi East, Nottingham township, Chester
county, about two miles south of Oxford.
The field has been leased lbr ten years, by
a company in Berks county. Mr. Magraw
granted them the privilege of opening for
pits, and two have already been dug, in the
second ofw•hich a vein of ore of the best
quality has been struck.
The West Chester -Record says : "We re
gret to learn that the " conditions" upon
which the Experimental Farm was located
in this county, have not been complied
with in full, and that there is great danger
of Chester county losing the farm after all.
It was supposed that the amount of money
to secure the farm here had been actually
subscribed, but it seems that such is not
the case.

large frame barn, belonging to Daniel Dan
ner, in Manheim, was burned together with

Mrming implements.

distinguished themselves as superior play
ers.

POLICE CAsES.—Befure Samuel Evans,
Esquire.
John East Sultzbach, of Marietta, was ar
rested fur being concerned with others in
the burglaries of Mr.Mehaffey and Du trey's
houses in Marietta, on the morning of the
4th inst. The defendant was committed to
the lock-up for a further hearing,and whilst
there a telegram was received from Hurdle,
Lantz, and White. of Williamsport., stating
that the above defendant and others ob
tained two hundred and fifty dollars from
them under the following circumstances :
About the 2'2cl ult.. the defendant and others
came to Williamsport with a canal beat,
(taken from the Tide Witter Canal.t he same
having been abandoned us worthless,) and
went to said firm and bad the boat loaded
with lumber, and then drew two hundred
and fifty dollars advance freight on the
same. The bout was taken a short distance
and then permitted to sink in the canal.
The defendant and others then hastened
with another boattbr Philadelphia. Whilst
the party were at Middletown and Marietta,
burglaries were committed. It is positive
ly known that some of these persons. in
company with this defendant, have been
concerned in the robberies named. On
Thursday last,Police Officer Lreisley,of Wit •
liamsport, took the defendant to that place
for trial. The officer arrived at Landis
ville at noon on Thursday, having missed
the Reading train ho walked from that
place to Columbia, through the snow storm.
Lie is a plucky fellow, and no doubt makes
a good officer. He is a son of Daniel
Heisley, of this place.
Bartel Weitzel was arrested for malting
threats to injure his frctu. It seems that a
few months ago the defendant married
Margaret Plumb,—the parties having seen
each other but once or twice—and of course
had no opportunity to judge whether their
dispositions were or a congenial nature.
They did not wait for the honey-moon to
pass by, but commenced quarreling—and
did so daily. The defendant left the corn
plainantseveral times,' with the intention
of staying away, but returned again with
the expectation of renewing his love, but
Margaret refused .to come, to terms,. and
took the bed cover off`of Bartel, when he
locked her out of the room; and that is the
" way the fuss began." The defendant was
discharged.
