Jacob, son of David Mutthers
bough of this place, had his leg broken
while attempting to climb a fence at the
Academy, ou Wednesday or Thursday of

trying to get over his feet caught when
he fell backward, breaking his leg and

THE LECTURE.— The talented Pastor
of the Presbyterian church of this place.
Rev. O. O. McClean, will deliver alecture
in the Town Hall, on THE DIGNITY OF
LABOR, on to-morrow (Thursday) even
ing. Having had the privilege of read
ing this lecture, we can assure our citizens
that a rich literary treat is in store for
them. For elegance of style and diction,
richness of thought, beauty of expression,
and sound practical teaching, this lecture
is equal to any we have ever heard. We
bespeak a full and appreciative audience.
UssT'The Holidays are fast approaching,
and it is high time for every one to he
thinking where they can purchase gifts
to the best advantage. We would there
fore apprise the public of the interesting
fact that Grove will receive or now has a
tremendously large assortment of goods
for old and young. Visit his establish
ment, and be delighted with the display.
He supplies parties and families with OY
STERS, which can l>e had by the quart or
pint, fresh every Saturday evening.
t%. The "Eureka Bridle," patented by
Mr. Joseph C. Haines, promises to super
cede all other inventions for safely gov
erning and curbing horses, being so effec
tual that any lady, girl or boy, with the
slightest presence of mind, can check any
horse disposed to be vicious or unruly,
and thus prove a safeguard against acci
dents. It need but to be seen to be ap
preciated, for, while nothing could be
more simple, its power in checking a
horse is so apparent that it cannot fail to
impress itself upon every one. But, be
sides, we have testimony of experienced
horsemen, and we know that some of
these aver they can drive and govern the
most unruly horse in the county with the
aid of this safety bridle, When we re
flect that all horses are at times likely to
be fractious, and consequently that all
riders and drivers are thus in danger,
wisdom would seem to dictate that every
one owning a horse ought to have a safe
ty bridle.

Escape of three little Glrln from
a Band of Glpftleo.
Many of our citizens no doubt remem
''ef that a band of Gipsies who visited
tuis neighborhood several months ago
i.ad witii them several half-grown girls.
- 1 appears that not all of these were chil
dren of the strolling fortune-tellers and
orse-tr iders. A Pittsburgh paper an
' 'uuees the escape of three or the girls
troui the Gipsies. The paper says :
I hree little girls, poorly clad, came to
< e office of Mayor Morrison, of Alle
r teny, on Thursday evening, and gave
t ieir names and ages as follows: Katy
annou. aged between twelve and thir-
en; Mary Ann Laulers, thirteen, and
u*resa Maloy, aged between eleven and
twelve They state that they were taken
from their homes in Buffalo, New York,
a oand of Gipsies, who are now loea- \
ted near the Catholic Ciiureli, at Manches- •
ter. rhey say that there are four fami- j
lies located iu shanties at that place,
which were built by themselves; that
there are in the band three men and four
women, beside their children. The names
of the men are John Sherlock, James
Caslow and Bryan Garman.
The eldest girl, Mary Ann Laulers,
states that her mother, at the time she
left her, resided on Main street, in Buffalo,
and that Mrs. Caslow came to her mother
and stated that she lived on Seuaca street, j
and would take the girl for two week* on
trial, and if she suited, would pay her 1
three dollars a week and keep her. 'This
was during either the months of May or
June of this year. Teresa Maloy states
that her parents resided on the corner of
Fifth and Caroline streets when a gipsv
woman got her, which was a long time |
ago, she thinks three years. The smallest
girl, Katy Hannon, says that she also was
taken a long time since; that her father
was a hoatmau and her mother died. The
gipsies got her from her father. The girls
all say that they have never seen their
parents since they first left home, and
that they have been traveling about from
town to town in wagons. They mention
the following names of places they have
been in : Harrisburg, Carlisle, Warren,
and in Rochester and New Castle. The
hand have been in their present location
for some months, and the girls say have
their wagons put away some place in this
city. 1 lie men work at mending umbrel
las and tinware, while the women j>eddle.
The girls have sometimes sold such arti
cles as laces and nicknaeks, but general lv
have to do the scrubbing, washing, Ac.
They say that the women treat them very
harshly sometimes, but that the men do
not. The homeless girls were taken care
of by Mayor Morrison, who intends to
have the men brought up and their actions
inquired into.

There is nothing equal, in the way of a plaster, to

pleasant about them. They are the piaster of the day,

From personal knowledge of these plasters, we can

Great Britain. France, and Germany, where medical
science has reached its highest perfection, it is pre

the most speedy and agreeable remedy that can be

results are the most eonvtncing proofs of the superi

them the authors point with peculiar satisfaction.—
While it is most powerful against confirmed diseases,
it is extremely gentle as a medicine in infancy and
youth, being quite harmless to even the youngest,
when administered judiciously.
This health-restorer accomplishes even more by
prevention than cure. If taken in season, it healsaii :
irritations of the throat and lungs, whether arising:
from Colds or Coughs, or from other causes, and thus

of engravings. after the plates are procured, is very
trifling- they can easily afford to make the distribution
large as it is.

solicit their kind efforts, which will not go unreward

and village in the country commence a* soon as they
see this, and get upas large a club as possible. By so
doing they will be the mean* of introducing elegant
engravings into farniles, and thus aid in cultivating a
taste for the beautitul and refined.
