VJJi LOCAL AFFAIRS. ACCIDENT. —A sad accident happened ia Granville township on last Wednes day, the Bth inst. Enoch Moyer, who wac setting a threshing machine at a neight.K>r's, was informed tiiat a pig had fallen into his well, when he with Mr. Bratton, one of his assistants, started to get flie pig out. On their reaching the well. -Mr. Mover took off his hat and shoes and commenced to descend, which lie could easily do on account of its being very narrow; on reaching the bottom, he f>und it necessary to have a board or rail; he came up. threw a rail down and then went in again ; finding it not enough, he asked Mr. Bratton to send a rail down with the rope, which was done; a chain was ;dso sent afterwards, which he looped around the pig and tied it to the bail of the bucket; he then ordered Mr. Bratton to draw. He was told to come up up first, but declined. The pig was then drawn to the top of the well, when Mrs. Whit worth took hold of the crank, and while Mr. Bratton was preparing to take hold of the pig, it struggled and threw a stone down, weighing probably about-Ktpounds, which fell 40 feet and struck Mr. Moyer on the back part of his head. The neigh bor! IOJ 1 gathered together and took him out, when an inquest was held and a ver dict rendered accordingly. Mr. Moyer was 44 years, 9 months and 8 days old, was a much respected citizen, and leaves ! a wife and three children to mourn his loss. A dwelling house on the Hulings estate, above Hope Furnace, occupied by Mr. 8. Lyter, was destroyed by fire on Wednes day last. Fire had l>een kindled in the cooking stove, and while Mr. L. was at tending to some matters on the farm, his wife discovered that the upper part of the house was in flames. The children were got out, also a few small articles, but eve rything else was consumed. The loss falls heavily on Mr. L. who is a poor but hard working man. The spell of dry weather was broken on Sunday last by copious showers of rain, which with occasional intervals, contin ued to hill until yesterday. Gen. Geary will attend a meeting of the Boys in Blue at Huntingdon on the 18th August. FATAL ACCIDENT.— The Juniata Sen tinel says : " Major Daniel W. Flicking er, a well-known and worthy citizen of Turbett township, Juniata county, was fatally injured by a freight engine at Per rysyille, on Thursday afternoon last. The Major was walking between the two main tracks carrying a pail of water to some hands he had engaged in snaking ties from the mouth of the creek at that place. The train approached him from behind; he was called to by his men warning him of his danger, but being apparently en gaged in deep thought at the time, he be came confused in his efforts to escape and unfortunately stepped 011 the track imme diately iu front of the engine. His right leg was smashed and his head badly bruised. He was taken to the house of I)r. G. M. Graham, where his leg was amputated and his other wounds dressed. He lingered until Saturday evening when he died. Major Fliekiuger held a num ber of offices of trust in this county, and was always foremost in every laudable en terprise. He was also a prominent mem !>er of the Presbyterian Church at Perrys ville. holding an eldership in that bodv. He leaves a wife, ten children and a large circle of friends to mourn his sudden death." A SINGULAR CASE.—A case of alleged forgery was tried last week in Blair coun ty. Henry Ake, Esq., a merchant doing business at Williamsburg, charged David Ditch, a German farmer, of Huston town ship. with having forged a receipt (signed by Mr. Ake) for one hundred bushels of wheat. The defendant had dealt with the prosecutor for a number of years, and their accounts would run for several months without settlement, which was generally effected by comparing the receipts in Mr. Ditch s possession with the entries in Mr. Ake s store books. On comparing re ceipts in January last, Mr. Ake threw out the one aljove named as a forgery, alleg ing that lie had never received the wheat. Mr. Ditch insisted on the genuineness of the paper, and suit was entered against him for forgery. On the trial Ditch proved that he had loaded the grain and hauled it to Williamsburg, but failed to prove its delivery to Ake. He proved, however, that he had refused to seli it to another dealer in the town, and the infe rence was strong that he had delivered it to Ake. to whom he was indebted at the time. The ease was verv warmly con tested, and the jury fount! a verdict of not co u'L and that The prosecutor pay the SAI> ACCIDENT.— A young man named Kitter, residing at Mill Creek, 011 Wed iicxlav last, while attempting to jump on a freight train, near Huntingdon, was iiiruwn under the cars and so horribly crushed and mangled that he died the same evening.

If the blood be pure the body which is formed from and by the blood cannot be diseased. But if there be in any part of the body any affection, such as a boil ; or ulcer, even a bruise, the blood circulating through that part takes up impure matters from the local af fection and carries it into the general system. This is the cause often of sudden death to pe'rsons of full habit afflicted with Soils and ulcers, and who use no medicine: the matter gets into the circulating sys tem and chokes up the fine blood vessels which sup ply the brain with vitality, and life ceases as if BEREFT RY LIGHTNING.

SOLD EXCLUSIVELY BY SUBSCRIPTION. OPINIONS OF THE PRESS. New York Herald. We can assert with truth that it is the first conscientiously written history of the war that has been given to the woritl since its close. It is neither one-sided as to its facts nor as to its conclusions. Hew York Times Mr. Bossing possesses some peculiar qualifications for the preparation of a his tory of the war. To untiring industry, he unites a quick sense of that which po sesses interest and attractiveness for the multitude. His pen and pencil are alike faithful and accurate in reproducing men and the scenes in which they were ac tors. New York Tribune. To any one who is familiar with Mr. Lossing's other works, it is hardly neces sary to say that the materials for the pres ent one have been gathered and selected with eminent industry and good judg ment, and put together with the skill of an accomplished writer. The book is a rich storehouse of historical facts, and moreover a very enticing volume to read. It is so different from all the other histo ries of the war, that it cannot readily be compared with them. JAMES M. LABHELL, aul.4t Ag't for Mifflin Co., Penn'a.
