if ua 3 LOCAL, AFFAIRS. CORRECTION. —The statement published in the Snyder county papers, which we transferred to ours last week, that the case of Butler's heirs vs. the Pa. It. It. Co., had been tried and a verdict rendered for defendants, was, it appears, erroneous throughout, as it was not tried at all. If not settled, it is on the list for May court, when it will probably be disposed of. SPRING ELECTION.— The following is a list of the Borough, Granville and Derry officers elected on Friday last. In the Borough the democracy, with the aid of copperheads, Johnsonites, and sundry temporary sojourners who had not resided six months in it as required by law, as well as supine republicans, elected nearly the whole ticket, and being thankful for small favors, rejoiced greatly thereat.

RIVER DAMS. —The alteration in the Columbia Dam has already demonstrated that fish will again be caught in abund ance in the Susquehanna and Juniata, if the obstructions now in those rivers are so altered as to permit their passage up wards. On Friday a week shad were ta ken at Fairview, a few miles below Har rbburg, and pike, rock, perch, and other migrating fish have already made their appearance in unusual numbers. We trust the present summer will not be suf fered to pass by without an alteration in the dams on the Juniata, and if the Fish Commissioner will not at once see to their alteration, that the Grand Juries of Hun tingdon, Mifflin, and Perry, will bring the question before their respective courts. No matter who made or who holds them. There are natural rights which no State nor company can destroy; and as our riv er is a natural highway, any obstruction which prevents fish from ascending is to our mind as much of an obstruction as a fence on a public road, and that any one can remove. POWDER MI EL. EXPLOSION AND LOSS OF. LIKE. —We regret to learn that IRA MCMANIOAL, son of Thompson McMan igal, of Armagh township, in this county, was instantly killed by a j>owder mill ex plosion near Xenia, Ohio, on Tuesday of week. The sad details are given as follows : "The dry house of King and Dickey's powder mill, situated on the Little Miami Railroad, three miles south of Xenia, 0., blew up on the morning of the 12th.— There were about ten tons of powder in the building at the time the explosion took place. Two men, Jasper Luck and Ira McManigal, were instantly killedand horribly mutilated. The latter was thrown a distance of three hundred feet from the building, and literally blown to pieces, his bowels being torn out, and his limbs, hands, feet, and other parts of his body being scattered here and there. He had been a soldier, and while in the army had a finger shot off of one hand. By tins his mangled remains were recognized.— The other man was badly mutilated, and could not be recognized. He was thrown nearly a quarter of a mile from the build ing. The explosion was most terrific. Kverv iiortion of the fated house was swept away, and only the blackened and torn up ground indicated where it stood. Every building within a circuit of a quar ter of a mile was more or less injured. Several persons were prostrated by the shock and a child was considerably injured by a portion of the exploded building filling upon it. The Little Miama river runs near the scene of the explosion, and for a considerable distance the water was swept from the bed and poured in a flood upon the neighboring fields. Glass was blown from the windows of the houses in Oldtown, two miles south of tbe mill. The weatherboardfng was furiously ripped from the sides of a large liarn more than an eighth of a mile away. For a minute and a half after the explosion, the air was horribly convulsed, and terrific sounds, resembling a succession of heavy thunder clajis and rolls, could be heard in every direction. The graining mill of this es tablishment has been blown up frequent ly before, but this is the first time the dry house has experienced alike fate. The mills are widely known as those of the Miami Powder Company. The entire loss of the Company by the explosion will not fall short of SIO,OOO. *gk_COBBIN'S DOMESTIC ILLUSTRATED BIBLE which lias recently been put in circulation in this State by Mr. H. A.

EMBER DAY. —Last Wednesday, being Ember Day, was wet and in the evening stormy, indicating according to the weath erwise a wet spring. Ember days in the early days of Christianity were observed with much solemnity, being devoted to fasting and special prayer for the di vine blessing upon the fruits of the earth, while penitents humiliated themselves by sprinkling ashes on their heads. have received a number of the Christian Family Companion, published at Tyrone, Pa., by H. R. Holsinger, at $1.50 per annum. It is filled with well written religious articles from the pens of "German Baptists" generally known as Dunkards, to which church this paper is specially devoted. We have entered it on our exchange list. SOMETHING NEW AT GROVE'S.— The latest and best article for housekeepers, ever received in town, is the Azumea Baking Powder*—it requires only half as much as any other, and is cheaper; also, salt fish, smoked pork and sausage, dried and canned fruit, prunes, raisins, lemons, musk drops, and anything usually kept in stores of the kind. GOT OFFICES.—We are pleased to state that WM. F. SHAW, Esq., has been ap pointed one of the Assistant Doorkeepers of the House of Representatives at Wash ington, a position we have no doubt he will till with credit and ability. Our neighbor of the Democrat has also got an office with little work and good pay, to wit, School Director of the Bor ough of Lewistown. GOOD IMPROVEMENT.—The Burgessand Town Council have erected street lamps at the intersection of the alley with Main, Brown and Dorcas streets, thus affording additional light to church goers on dark nights to the Lutheran, Presbyterian and Methodist. If less attention was paid to the moon and more to dark nights, it would make decided improve ment—one too which could easily he made up by omitting lighting during eleareveningsin summer, when gas lights are of little use except to draw together gnats, bugs and other annoyances. It would beagood idea to put up three street lamps every year, and we would suggest opposite the Henderson Hose House, op posite Apprentices Hall, and midway be tween Brown and Dorcas streets, on Third as the next most suitable places. THE CANAL.—Considerable feeling has been manifested by a report that the canal would be closed altogether in 1868 for the purpose of enlarging it, and many per sons seem to be under an impression that the Pennsylvania Railroad and Canal Company had a law passed for this pur |K>se. We think this is a mistake. The only law we can find relative to this mat ter is the act approved May 1, 1866, in corporating the Pennsylvania Canal Com pany, which is authorized to purchase the canals, and to facilitate the enlarge mentand improvement thereof is "autlior "ised and empowered to suspend the nav igation of the cana£ on <sny part of it "being enlarged , for a period of not more "than one full boating season, or one-half "of two successive boating seasons." We do not believe this could be construed as authority for closing the whole line un less every part of it was put under process of enlargement. As the company above referred to has not yet purchased the ca nals, we presume there is at present no cause for alarm, as ample notice would no doubt be given whenever it becomes owner and concludes to enlarge. There was a general rush to Gal braith's meat shop on Saturday last. The beef was of the best quality, but only a fair sample of what will be constantly kept ou hand. jgfeg" The Rev.

Major Morrow was in command of his regiment when it gal lantly assisted in the recapture of Fort Steadmau on the 28th of March, and on the 3d of April when it attacked Fort Mahone, otherwise called Fort Hell.— Here he lost a leg, and was borne from the field.

INSTRUCTION given by C. W. Walters on the piano, organ, flute or cornet, based on the thorough musical education of his pupils.

ACCIDENT. —A little boy named James Culvert, who occasionally assisted in hoist ing iron up the inclined plane at Glamor gan Works, had his leg broken at the an kle on Friday last by holding on to the wheel used, and was also injured in the face. He was thrown down with much violence. Samuel Roland, of Granville township, lost two colts (a yearling and a three-year old) by death, a few weeks ago, by admin istering what purported to be glauber salts. They were worth about $l5O. tS3L, THE FAKIR OF VISHNU has been giving a number of pleasing performances during the past week which have drawn crowded houses. His ledgerdemain and other performances are done with much dexterity, while his good humor and faith ful distribution of gifts add not a little to the pleasure of his exhibitions. We can assure our neighboring towns that they will find his levees a source of much en joyment and some profit. BQk_The Methodist Episcopal Confer ence which met at Frederick City, Md., hist week, adjourned yesterday morning. Rev. W. W. Evans takes a charge atWil liamsport, and W. M. Frysiuger remains at Huntingdon Avenue, Baltimore. CHILDREN AT THE POOR HOUSE. —The Steward at the Poor House has several children, boys and girls, from 12 years of age downwards, who will be put out to suitable masters or mistresses as appren tices. tHajr The prevailing idea that peaceable possession for twenty-one years renders every title to real estate valid and good, is, of course, sound, so far sis individual claims against such property is concerned. But it must be borne in mind that the original ownership of the lands in Pennsylvania, dated from the creation of the colony, and was transmitted to the Commonwealth whose claims are not controlled by limi tation , and debts owing to which can never die out. There are many farms and tracts in this county not free from State dues, and which self-interest ought to be in ducement enough to look after, as when collected interest will be charged. LAMP EXPLOSION.—On Sunday even ing a week, an old lady, named Mrs. Katy McKnight, residing at the foot of Hale street, was seriously if not fatally injured by the explosion of a eoal oil lamp. As we hear the particulars, they are these : She was reading with the lamp upon her lap. It accidently tilted, and in falling exploded, spreading the burning oil over the entire front of her dress. She ran out the front door screaming in terror, her garments all in a blaze. Some of the neighbors ran to her relief, tore oft her clothes, and thus saved her from literally roasting alive. She was, however, badly burnt, and her sufferings have been excru tiating. Her recovery is still doubtful. — Democrat. Bgk, David Caldwell, of Huntingdon, was last week nominated for Collector of this district. DIED On the 4th inst., in Menno township, SARAH HEDDINGS, in the 17th year of her age.
