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

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. Dr. Wiley, one of the or

Col. B. M. Morrow, late of the2ostli
Itegt., Pa. Vols., died of Consumption, in
Scotch Valley, Blair county, on Wednes
day, March 6, 1867. 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. The standard classical system
adopted makes music intelligible to even
the youngest scholar.
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.

Rev. W. W. Evans takes a charge atWil

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. —
