J6*arWe learn that the Farmers' Rank of Schuylkill county has issued no two dollar small notes, so that all of that class on that bank are spurious. The Is can easily be detected. The genuine has a male portrait on left end, a male portrait on lower right hand corner, and a fox chase for a vignette. The counterfeit is nothing like this. All the notes passed here came from two parties from up the river, who will consult their safety by not passing any more, as the transaction has assumed asus picious appearance, and the bank notified of the source whence they came. BOAT BUILDING. —This business, which had been in a measure almost suspended on the Juniata during the past few years, gives some promise of a revival. A major ity of the boats now in use are pretty well worn out —others have beeu disposed of —so that there will propahly be a consid .rable demand for some years. We learn •hat Messrs. Buskins and Alter, who have an excellent reputation for building sub stantial canal boats, have now orders for four new ones, (as well as three or four to repair) which will give them employment for some time. DEATH OF A SO.UUER.—Corporal Al bert B. Strong, a member of Capt. Taylor's company, First Pennsylvania Cavalry, was taken sick with typhoid lever on Thursday, and died on Monday morning last, much regretted by his companions in arms. He was a son of Juhn Strong, of Three Locks, Oliver township, and between 19 and 20 years of age. His father had been tele giaphed, but missed the connection at Bal timore. and did not reach the camp until some hours after he died. The company provided a coffin for the young soldier, es corted his remains to the Chain Bridge with Capt. Taylor at their head, and thence scut under charge of Mr. Coplin to his home —all at their expense. CANAL NAVIGATION' may now be said to be at an end for this season, as the wa ter will he drawn off in a few days.

At the re quest of in-ny, we asked the Judge for a copy, for publication, which be kindly promised to furnish us at his earliest con venience. Every person seemed to be pleased with the new Judge, and he has - far made a very favorubjt impression upon the public mind." • ITEMS.—Some hall dozen weddings are ■-aid to be on the carpet for the next two weeks.

The second ball came off at the Lewistown Hotel last Thursday, bqt with a small attendance—probably owing to the fact that too many dancing gentlemen hav§ holes in their pockets. Turkeys are un usually abundant this year. Thus far they -iavc been selling at 6 cents per lb., which is more than can be obtained for them from dealers in the city. What has become of the temperance meetings ? Have the topers all been reformed, or is Captain Whiskey in the ascendant?

WASHINGTON, Dec. 13.— Gen. Franklin was yesterday furnished with a copy of the order for the execution of Wm. H. John son, a private in the Lincoln Cavalry. Ac cording to report, his offence was desertion, supposing himself to be in the presence of a party of the enemy, he expressed his joy that he had made his escape. The officer in command had a private conversation with him, when he freely and anxiously gave such information as would have been of great importance to the Rebels. His revelation being concluded, lie was arrested, and much to hi.v surprise he discovered his mistake when he was taken buck to his own camp a prisoner ! The execution took place this afternoon in the presence of about seven thousand soldiers belonging to General Frauklin'3 Division. A detachment of twelve men were detailed for the purpose. Fight of them first fired, when Johnson fell on his coffiu, but life not being extinct the other four in reserve fired with the required ef fect. This is the first execution in the ar my of the Potomac since the commence ment of the Rebellion. A Storm in Camp. Soldiers Struck by Lightning. —An ex tract from a letter written by a member of Col. Stambaugh's Regiment, encamped at Camp Xevin, Kentucky, says : 4 Last evening about seven o'clock, a'ter a beautiful warm day, the western sky be came dark and lowering, with frequent flashes of lightning and low mutteriugs of distant thunder. At 8 o'clock the tattoo sounded, and the inhabitants of our tented city retired to rest. Slowly the heavy clouds rolled towards the zenith, and at midnight, with seeming ten fold darkness, the storm, with unparalleled fury, burst upon us; and peal after peal rent the spread ing air with heaven's overcharged artil lery. At this time a deafeuing explosion took place in the next tent to my quarters, and terrific yells from the sentinel brought me to my feet. I soon found the tent to be on fire, and Lieut. WChart, from Ful ton county, Pa., and Lieut. West, from St. Thomas, Franklin co., struck by lightning; although badly burnt, the sides of their limbs to a crisp, yet God's mercy interposed and saved their lives by the very weapons they had brought with them to protect them from the rebel foe, little dreaming that it would prove their safety in the tempest and the storm; their swcrds by their sides were melted by the subtle fluid, and no doubt exhausted its fury and saved their lives. At this writing, I have heard of no other accidents resulting from the storm. —J. L. (J., Brookville Republican. I learn from the Bellefcnte papore , that the trial of Lipton and Ilays for the raur j der of Poorman in August last while return ing from a Campnieeting in Pc.nr.s Valley, Centre county, after occupying the time of the Court for nearly a week, has resulted in the acquittal of Ilays, and the conviction of Lipton for manslaughter. Lipton had not yet been sentenced. Messrs James T. Ilale an.l 11. N. McAllister were counsel for De fondants, Messrs. McManus, Wallace, and Keuisli for the Commonwealth.

MTiiRAL HISTORY, Crows Can Count But Three. A few months since v/e were riding in a i stage coach with several gentlemen, when I the conversation turned upon crows, and j many anecdotes were related. One gentle man said that he knew that crows could ; count—at least as far as three—for he had often proved it. Being troubled with crows iu the field, he had often to shoot them.— i But they knew what a gun was as well as he did, and therefore kept out of his reach. He then concluded to put a small booth in the field, and placed some carrion—a dead horse —within gun-shot. From this place i he supposed he could fire at them when they alighted to eat. Whenever he enter ed the booth, the crows would all sit upon the distant trees, and not one would come near till he was gone, when all would alight ; except the sentinel, who remained to give warning if danger approached. The gentleman finding his plan to fail, thought he would deceive them. So he took his son with him to the booth, conclu ing that when they had seen one go away, the crows would think the coast clear, and descend to the bait, But when the son left the booth, a crow sung out caw, caw, caw (there goes one), but not a crow would leave bis place. The next day the gentle man took two persons with hipj to the booth, and left them depart one at a time. The crows on the trees saw the first, and cried out 4 there goes one,' in their own peculiar dialect, then when the other went 4 there goes two,' but they would not alight, for they had counted three when they entered. ■ The day following the gentleman took three others with him. When they went out one by one, the crows cried 4 there goes one,' ' there goes two,' 4 there goes three,' j and when these men were out of sight, they all alighted, and the gun of the fourth man did its work. The gentleman stated that this thing had been tried repeatedly, and it was evident that crows could count as far as three, but there their arithmetic ended. When they will ascend to the higher branches of math ematics is yet to be ascertained. In the meantime others can bring on the incidents of crow nology.— Olive Branch. Get Your Likeness Taken!
