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

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?

Gen. James Burns has been elected

energetic mind to the accomplishment of
the work in hand, we have 110 doubt the
road will speedily be made.

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

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.

Congress in the law respecting the income

IT DOES away with soap suds or hot water, thus
avoiding the slops upon the floor or adjoiniug paint,
and the disagreeable sensation of the water running
down on the arms, under the sleeves, and wetting
them to the shoulders. It leaves uo lint upon the

of labor and time in washing. For polishing Mirrors,
or any kind of Sliver, Brass or Tin-ware, it
has no equal. The polish is warrauted to contain no
acids, nor anything of a poisonous or injurious char
acter, but is perfectly harmless in every respect.
