Glean Up.—The warm and sultry weath
er of tlu- past week indicates the season
vlieu every housekeeper ought to use
precautions against disease by thoroughly
t .l ( ;ining up all decaying orottensive mat
tor An ounce of prevention is said to he
worth a pound of cure, and so far as health
j 3 concerned this is certainly true in a
tenfold degree.
The following cheap disinfectants may
be of service in aiding in the prevention
of disease, by quelling the foul vapors that
ar j<,. from drains, sinks, etc :
Two poundsof sulphate of iron (copper
•tf. dissolved in a pailful of water, and
j.oured into a vault, will prevent the for
mation of sulphurated hydrogen gas for
„.,m time, and will generally be sufficient
to remove all nuisance.
V layer of charcoal dust will prevent
the es q"' of all offensive odor from any
decernposi iig substanee.
One pound of nitrate of lead dissolved
in a pailful ol water is excellent for sinks,
sink drains ami vaults.
If the other things fail, chloride of lime
is always effectual, and may be freely
used in vaults and upon collections of
filth, hut i> considered unhealthy to be
used in dwellings, where its odors are in
haled during sleep.
Lime can also be used with much ben
efit in yards, irardons, stables, gutters, &c.

Pennsylvania Railroad discovered a man

His head was shockingly beaten, and his
face presented evidence that he had also

the forehead, and one of his checks was
burned with powder. He was alive, hut

Another Fortune.—The Groves having
all got rich by the legacy left by Graff of
Germany a number of years ago, the next
j family in order comprises the descendants
of a .Welshman named Johns. Among
these are the Gantts of Perry county. —
Like the other, the legacy is a "fixed
laet," anil each who can prove himself or
herself a collateral heir, is sure to have
more money than he or she will know
what to do with. The account is copied
from an Illinois paper :
SIXTY MI I. LIONS OS DOLLARS.
A Rich Legacy! —lt lias been known
for several months past, by some mem
bers of the community, that an immense
property had been left to the different
heirs of the Johns family, a wealthy house
in Wales, but the particulars are not gen
erally public. Now, that the legacy is:
known to be a fixed fact, there can be no
impropriety in giving an outline of the
farts, as wo have learned them from a re
liable source.
As we have been informed, two broth
ers formerly lived in Wales, of the name
of Johns. One of them sold his property
and removed to this country about three
<>r four generations since. The other,
though desirous to accompany him, was
unable to dispose of his property advanta
geously, and was thus compelled tore
main. The property of this thrifty man-;
ufacturer is the legacy, or bequest, or
whatever it may be, that is now awaiting :
the legal claimants, and is said now to be!
valued at S6o,ooO,oiX>. It is invested in
manufactures, but those from whom it is!
due are ready to pay it over at any time,
and it is stated that the whole sum could
he realized by the heirs within sixty days
from the establishment of their titles.
A meeting of the heirs was called, and
held at Cincinnati, Ohio, on the 2d of
April, 1867, but thesmallnessof the num
ber attending necessitated an adjourn
ment to another day. This was done
without taking any definite action, and
the 1 -Ith of May, 1867, was fixed upon as
the day, and the city of Dayton, Ohio,
was designated as the place, when and
where the adjourned meeting was to he!
held. The meeting has just taken place,
and was fully attended, about one hund
red and fifty reputed heirs to the estate'
having been present. The representatives
from this city were Mrs. Dr. Trover, ('apt.
George Puterbough, whose wife \ -• a niece'
to Mrs. Troyer, and Thomas D. Gautt.
Those claiming to be heirs residing in
this vicinity in addition to those already 1
named, are Mr. 11, N. Frederick, of this!
i city, the Lobaughs of Smithwille, and the i
Gantt family living atGalva. There were;
present at the late convention, represen
tatives from the following States: Penn
sylvania, Michigan, Ohio, Indiana and
Illinois.
Of course it cannot as yet be known
what will be the portion of each individ
ual or family, but $130,000,000 will spread!
among a handsome crowd and give a;
large portion to each. Measures have
been taken to produce the requisite proof,;
and to distribute the money among the;
waiting heirs.
So far as those who reside in this vicin-:
ity are concerned, they are deserving of
good luck, are honest, industrious fami
lies, on whom the burden of a heavy be
quest would sit easily, and would be thor
oughly appreciated, and well deserved. —
We congratulate them upon their good
fortune, and hope they will be able soon I
to enter upon its possession.

The following letter addressed to the
Mifflin town Sentinel, gives some items
of news respecting the murderers of a
former citizen of Juniata county:
PATTKRSOX, June 3, 1867.
MR. EDITOR — Dear Sir ; — K no wing
that the friends of Mr. David Switzer,
formerly a citizen of this county, who
was murdered in Johnson county, Mis
souri, are anxious to know whether the
murderers have been brought to justice, I
now give them tye facts in the case: On
the night following the burial of Mr.
Switzer, the Vigilance Committee, some
two hundred strong, went to the house of
Dick Sanders, one of the murderers, took
him out, and after giving him a trial by
twelve good citizens, hung him. During
the trial it was demonstrated that the
party of murderers, horse thieves, etc.,
was composed of sixteen persons, when
said Committee, continued dilligently at
their work, until they had executed live !
oft hem, when the others, including Morg.
Andrews t he other murderer of M r. Switz
er, lied from the country, and was next
heard from in Kansas, where lie was taken
in company with Tom Stevens, oneof the i
party, brought to Warrensburg, and hung,
as the following taken from the Philadel
phia'! nquirer, will show:

Fi*h Culture. —It appearst hat exper

attended with success in other coun

stance, we see it stated that, eight
years ago, on that portion of the little
liver Sibble, in England, which lies bo
tween the borough of I'reston and the
sea, only 96 salmon were taken. Last
year the number caught in the same
part of the river was 10,000. This is
the result of stocking the river anew,
of preventing the throwing of noxious
substances into its waters, and of other
wise attending to the habits of this
finny species. Tho report of the Eng
lish Commissioners tells the same story
about several other British streams.
In many of them, the value of tho fish
taken in one season is estimated at ton
times the cost of stocking:

We cannot suggest what is wanting to make a mu
sical instrument more perfect, although wo are slow
to admit that the limit of improvement can ever be i
attained.
Before they had brought their Pianos to their pre
s -nt excellence, they had submitted them to eomp---
titi >n with instruments of the best makers of this J
country and Europe, and received the reward of iner- i
it, over all others, at the celebrated World's Fair. It
is but justice to say tnat the judgment thus pronounced
has no! I . en overruled by the musical world.
Still, bv the improvements lately applied by them !
to their Pianos, it is admitted that a more perfect in
strument has been made. They h .ve accordingly
achieved the paradox of making excellence more t
excellent. Surely, after this, liiey are entitled to the
motto -Excelsior." novl l-ly
