HORSE IUIEVES ABOUT.—On Sunday
night, about 11 o'clock, as the son of Geo.
Guthrie, lately deceased, was returning
home, he met an unknown man 011 the
road with two horses, who, immediately on
seeing young Guthrie, jumped off and ran
away. The horses proved to be the pro
perty of Mr. G., and must have been sto
len but a short time before. From the
circumstances attending the Case, it is con
jectured that the thief is a resident of the
neighborhood, as he probably recognized
the young man.
OUR TROOPS. —From what we can gath
er from letters and other sources, the Lo
gan Guards were, at last accounts, a few
miles beyond Harrisonburg, Ya.; the Mif
flin county Cavalry, Captain Taylor, in the
advance at Fredericksburg; Captain Bige
low's in the neighborhood of Port Royal,
S. C.; and the 49th with Gen. McClellan
on the road to Richmond. Hancock's
brigade was stationed in the woods sup
porting the artillery during the fight of
the 10th before Vorktown, the 49th in the
rear of Mott's battery. The next night
our boys worked till sunrise throwing up
entrenchments. X
IvKMA KABLE DEER HUNT. —On Friday
morning a week Samuel McDowell, of Ar
magh township, caught a deer under sin
gular circumstances. While at breakfast
the deer appeared in the field near the
house, whereupon Mr. McD. immediately
gave chase, ever the field into the creek,
where he caught it by the ears. A tre
mendous struggle ensued in the water, but.
strange to say, Mr. McD. succeeded in
holding on until a rope was brought and
the deer completely secured. Some folks
think this the first time in the history of
this county that a full grown deer was fair
ly caught by a single individual, without
d 'jy : but they are all wrong; as the same
feat was performed in Lewistown last week
by J. T. .Stoneroad, and yesterday uiorn
ing by our esteemed friend, Geo. Bates,
Esq.
fofGur friend, J. M. Beck of Locke's
Mills, informs us there were, during the
last winter, four snows in November, five
in December, seven in January, eight in
February, seven in March, and one in
April; making in all twenty-nine, averaging
•1 inches each.
new railroad schedule went into
operation on Monday, by which the regu

early in the morning and about 4 p. in.—
ilu only train eastward by daylight passes

venien 'e in visiting Lewistown, by limit
ing their stay here to a few hours, none of
the stations having more than one train
east, and with the exception of M'Vey
town but one train west.

Our Influence.
A man's character is, in a great measure,
formed by the influences with which he is
surrounded. Every nation differs from e?ery
other nation, and even in small communities
we find a difference. It is a well established
fact that the physical conformation of a
country has great influence in moulding opin
ions and forming character. Occupation, too,
has much to do in making a man what he is.
But much greater than either of these, is the
influence of man upon man. This influence
is much more marked in youth than at any
subsequent period of life. As the child has
been trained, so will the man be inclined in
all probability through life. There may
be exceptions, but they are rare. If the
child of vicious parents, or one whose com
panions in youth were degraded, become a
good man or woman, the fact is cited as mat
ter of wonder. llow very important then
that all the influences that are brought upon
the mind of the child, should be incorrupt !
Next to the parents, no one has so great
an influence upon the character of the child,
as the teacher. Ilis every look, tone and act
makes an impression upon the minds of those
be bas in charge. A single act may influ
ence the whole of the child's future life either
for good or for evil.
Who has not heard instances of children
who have been called stupid and headstrong
until they actually thought'tbemselves incapa
ble of doing a good act; but who were re
claimed by the kindness of some one who
understood human nature and treated them
properly? But the teacher's life has per
haps as great, if not a greater influence than
his wordd. How can he euforce oven the
best of precept, if his own practice does not
correspond with it? How can be teach mo
rality, when he himself is immoral ? Ilis
teachings can have but little effect, unless
his life correspond with them. In order that
his teaching may be good, ho must be a good
man. K -
Habit Makes Everything Easy.
Make sobriety a habit, and intemperance
will be hateful; make prudence a habit, and
reckless profligacy will be as contrary to the
child, grown or adult, as the most atrocious
crimes to any. Give a child a habit of ea-
eredly regarding truth ; of carefully respect
ine the property of others : of scrupulously
abstaining irom all acts* of improvidence
which involve hun in distress, and he will
just as likely think of rushing into an ele
uient in which he cannot breathe, as of lyinc
j or cheating, or stealing.
