FIXE TOMATO. —We are indebted to Messrs. S. Maupny & Co., of the Rising sun Nursery, Philadelphia, for a paper of seed of their superior Tomato. The fruit p represented as of a deep red color, round, slightly flattened, and without a crease or wrinkle. Orders tilled in regular rotation at -•"> cents u paper, by mail or otherwise. BgU The Fakir of Vishnu will open his wonderful exhibition of marvelous doings this evening and continue for five nights. The programme embraces a variety of per formances calculated to puzzle the brains of beholders, with lots of fun, and last, but not least, a distribution of some 50 differ ent presents each evening. Of course everybody will go, as since the days of >ignor Blitzsucliexhibitions have become extremely popolar. Among the local bills now before the Legislature, we notice the following: An act to authorize the sale of the poor house and farm in Mifflin county. A supplement to an act authorizing and requiring the supervisors of Bratton town ai]) to erect gates across public roads in saiu township. An act to prevent cattle from running at large on the tiat of Jack's mountain in ileinio and Union townships, in Mifflin county. Rouse's Theatrical Company, the larg est troupe we believe that ever visted here, jierfornied in the Town Hall last week for ix nights, the houses gradually increas ing until the closing evening completely tilled the hall. As actors they delineated different characters quite as well as is gen erally met with in theatres in the cities, and all who attended expressed them selves much pleased with the performan ces. There is one feature however con nected with the close which we would advise the manager to discontinue, and that is, there is too much work left to be done on Sunday. Public opinion will al ways censure open violations of that day, and as (whether with or without his sanc tion'! he will be blamed, we are sure he will find it to his interest throughout the interior to see that hereafter as little as possible is done on such days. FATAL ACCIDENT.— We state with re gret that John U. Hamilton, of Newton Hamilton, was run over and killed by a ballast train, at that place, on Monday af ternoon a week. He had stepted from one track to the other to get out of the way of an approaching train, and did not observe the ballast train approaching hint on the other track. He was struck by the latter, terribly mangled, and instantly killed. — Mr. Hamilton was a young man about 35 years of age, held the position of Division boss on the ltoad at the time of his death, and leaves a wife and many friends to mourn his untimely end. BsaT" It is reported that the entire works of the Hamilton M'Clintock Oil Compa ny, comprising several producing wells and no less than seven engines, were re cently sold at Sheriff's sale for a small debt! None of the stockholders here were apprised of any difficulties, and un less every statement that was made re specting this company was a falsehood, this transaction is either the result of gross culpability on the part of the mana gers, or a most infamous swindle, lhe debt is said to have been less than &2.00U, and the whole interest of the company, with all its machinery, was sold for about $3300. Wonder whether a judicial pros ecutiou would not unearth some oil foxes? INSTRUCTION given by C. W. Walters on the piano, organ, flute or comet, based on the thorough musical education of his pupils.

Gen. James Burns has been elected President of the Middle Creek Railroad Company, in place of Abuer Thompson, deceased. If Mr. Burns will devote his energetic mind to the accomplishment of the work in hand, we have 110 doubt the road will speedily be made. A lad named Lee Roberts had his right leg broken and shattered while attempt ing to get on a passing train at Mapleton on the 28th ult. SNYDER COUNTY COURT.— Some col umns of matter have been wasted by the Juniata and Snyder county cop papers denouncing the removal of a suit to Sny der county as an outrage, &e. but without specifying facta or giving names so that readers could understand what the out rage really was. It now appears that the notorious Peter Eby having committed some theft was pursued by sundry citizens of Snyder county into Juniata, and ascer taining that he was knowingly concealed they took him by force. For this they were indicted in Juniata county, and the papers there having created a strong feel ing by representing the pursuers as a mob of rowdies and without a word of intima tion that the cause of all the disturbance was one of the worst men in this part of the State, the case was properly removed. Subsequently the Juniata court entered a nolle prosequi in the case—which it had no right to do—but still appeared in Snyder. There the same thing was done, with a provision that Juhiata pay the costs. In the case of the Certified Record from Mifflin County, of Mary Butler and S. McCoy, Guardians of the minor children of Col. Win. Butler, deceased, vs. Penn sylvania It. li. Co., a verdict for defen dants was rendered. Mr. and Mrs. Butler were both killed by an unaccountable railroad accident this side of Lancaster, but both traveling under free passes their heirs were unable to substantiate a claim. All classes would have gladly seen these orphans obtain, something but law is law and must be submitted to. Among the dozen different kinds of Soaps to be found at Grove's, is the Chem ical Olive, manufactured by the celebrated firm of McKeone, Van Haagan & Co., for washing clothes. Also, Self Raising Flour, Canned Strawberries, Plums, Gar den Seeds, &c. The passage of the bill giving the Con gressional land scrip, 780,000 acres, to the Agricultural College in Centre county, is mainly attributable to the earnest efforts of Speaker Hall and Senator Haines. — These lands cannot be appropriated to any other purpose, and we arc therefore giad to see that our senatorial district has come in for the proceeds. If the institu tion cannot now succeed, there must be something wanting in its organization. The nomination of A. C. Mullen, Esq., as Collector of this District and that of G. Ashman Miller as Postmaster at Hunt ingdon, have been rejected by the U. S. Senate. Mr. Royer, we hope, will be re instated in his former position ; but should the powers that be refuse to appoint him, Mr. Clark, who is acting Collector now, would be the most acceptable appointment that could be male. For Postmaster at Huntingdon we are pleased to learn that Captain B. X. Blair will probably be the successful candidate. A young man named Kibe of Benner township, Centre county, was kicked above the eye by a horse and seriously hurt. The Bellefonte School District has sub scribed six thousand and fifty-three dol lars and thirty-two cents, for the erection of the " Centre County Soldiers Monu ment." John Barnhart of Spring township, Centre county, had a number of finesheep destroyed by dogs a few weeks ago. Gov. Curtin and family are about visit ing Europe. At a special meeting of Newton Lodge, No. 94, I. O. of G. T., held March 4th, 1807, upon the anouncement of the death of John U. Hamilton, a committee was appointed to draft resolutions expres sive of the sense of this Lodge, who of fered the following: WHEREAS, it has pleared an all-wise Providence to remove, by sudden death, from our midst, our worthy brother, John U. Hamilton, therefore, Unsolved, That in the death of our broth er, the members of this Lodge recognize the loss of one whose devotion to the cause, and in behalf of the objects of the order, won our most sincere love and admira tion. Resolved, That this Lodge tender their sincere sympathies to his companion and friends in tins their profound sorrow and affliction, and would point to the virtues that adorned his life as a source of conso lation and joy. Resolved, That the members of the Lodge wear the usual badge of mourning, and that the hall be draped in mourning for the space of sixty days. Resolved, That a copy of these resolu tions be presented to the family of the deceased, and also one to each of the coun ty papers for publication. It. HENDERSON, ) O. 8. TEMPLE, \Committee. LEWIS L.
