fire Crackers.— This dangerous and ill
timed practice has already been eomrnen
, ~.j by hoys and girls who might find bet
ter use for the money invested than in
such miserable pastime. The great fire,
r Portland, Maine, which destroyed mil-,
lions of property, had its origin in a fire
rr uker, and ought to be a warning toev-j
,rv city, town and village in the United
-nites to prohibit the practice. Here the
4tli of July has been yielded to it, but on j
81 other days it is not only prohibited by j
ordinance, hut by aetof Assembly, which j
imposes a tine of five shillings for each ;
ofli-'iH'c, or two days' imprisonment, and j
pot only makes it the duty, but requires
a ll constables, under a penalty of twenty]
shillings, having any knowledge of any
offences against said act, to return the
same. If we must have this nuisance at
all, let it be on the 4th, and on that day j
only.
Middlccreek Eailroad.—The amount of
subscriptions yet required to tlie stock of
the Midtlleereek Railroad, is about forty
or forty-live thousand dollars; but addi
tional .subscriptions are continually made
along the line, and the prospect is very
good that the full amount will soon be
realized. The work of finally locating
the road commenced last week, and the
engineer and bis corps are now at work.
The Sclinsgrove Times says Major John
Cummings has lieen at work for several'
dnvs and secured in that town and vicini
t vim additional subscription of 111 shares
or $5,550, and 80 conditional shares or
>1,500 — total l il shares or $7,050.
Sed Men.— Mattawaua Tribe, No, 71,

The Tribe was organized with quite a

Stolen Horse Recovered.—On Thursday
a week, a young man put up at the Mount
Union Hotel, with a horse and buggy
He succeeded, says the Mt. Union Times,
in trading the buggy to Wm. Bice, the
livery man at the hotel, for a watch val
ued at $lO, and then disappeared, leaving
the horse behind. Suspicion at once
arose that the property was stolen, and
Mr. Shaver advertised it as such. It was
soon ascertained that a reward of fifty dol
lars was offered for the recovery of a horse
and buggy answering the description of
;'.lis, which had been hired from a Mr.
Una, who keeps a livery stable in New
port, and which had not been returned.
Mr. Zinn was accordingly notified, and]
■ a Monday he eanie there, identified the
property, and paid the reward. The]
young man was unknown, and has flown j
to otlier (Times, probably to repeat his ras
<al!y adventure. He said at the hotel
Lint he was from Mifilinburg.

There is a great deal of complaint about
the transmission of letters containing re
mittances going east. That there is a
thief, perhaps two or three, either on the
cars or else in one of the otHces between
this and Philadelphia, hardly admits of a
doubt. The P. M. at Philadelphia we
think would do well by looking after]
those who have access to the mail bags
from this direction.
Quite a number of persons, black and
white, were drunk on the streets on Sat
urday and Saturday night, and in the
evening a regular fight took place in the
western end. No arrests, so far as we can
learn, were made in consequence of these
outrages. The late law relative to drunk
enness, under which the party can be
made to tell where they got the liquor,
and which also makes it the duty of olfi
cers to arrest such parties, is a good one,
and a few examples would probably have!
the effect of essentially lessening the evil.
At Harrishurg, we judge from the papers,!
the law against drunkenness is rigorous- ]
Iv enforced.
A two-days' expedition to Licking i
Creek last week resulted in the capture of -
a number of fine trout. On our return
home however we found the fourth stock
freight, to which a passenger car is at
tached, one of the uncertain things, the|
third having smashed up live cars above!
Anderson's and thus prevented the train
we were waiting on from making time
by some hours. We accordingly footed
it from Granville station and reached;
home about half past ten at night.—
Another party, which was over the great
er part of the week, also met with sue
cess, but from all accounts had a woful
time in going, staying and coming, dif
ferent ones having got lost and spent the,
night with little to eat in the woods away ]
from camp.

The barn, on the farm of Wm. S eel,
in Huntingdon county, was lately de
stroyed by fire. The fire was communi
cated to the building by some children
who were engaged in burning a wasp
i nest.
An infant five or six weeks o'd was left
jat a hotel in Mil! Creek by a young wo
man who arrived in the cars and then
disappeared. It was taken in charge by
a family in the neighborhood.
The Johnstown Tribune says:—A beau

Foster, the only child of his parents, who
reside in the First Ward, was killed near
one of the Cambria Iron Co.'s ore mines,
on Tuesday evening last, by falling be
] tweell a couple of heavily laden cars when
in motion. He was shockingly mangled,
and died in a few hours. We have seldom

Fire in Dudley. —A fire occurred in
Dudley, this county, on Friday morning
! last, about one o'clock. It originated in
the tin shop of Mr. Haffley, and commu
nicated to Michael MeCabe's bouse, for
merly used as a hotel, Matthew Dunn's
■grocery store, and two other buildings,
all of which were burned to the ground,
the town having no engine to extinguish
the tlames. The tire is supposed to have
been the work of an incendiary. The
loss is estimated at several thousand dol
lars. MeCabe and Dunn were insured in
the companies represented by R. A. Mil
ler A Co., 1 nsurance Agents of this place.

Home Again. —We had the pleasure of
taking by the hand, on Friday last, our
old-time friend, Capt. ( has. A. Whi Ma
ker, who has spent the past year in Colo
rado. lie was unfortunate during his
sojourn in that country, having had both
his feet frozen so badly that amputation
became necessary in order to save his life.
One-foot is ofi at the instep, and the other
at the heel. During last winter he, in
company with two or three friends, started
<>u a hunting expedition on the plains
with the view of spending five or six
weeks in camp. After having prepared
their camp they started out in search of
game, each one taking a different direc
tion. Early in tlnyinorning,Capt. \\ hit
laker observed a herd of deer in the dis
tance, and immediately started in pursuit.
He followed them until sundown, when
in* thought about returning to camp, lie
started, Ont was unable to find it, and was
c impelled to wander through the snow
until lie was unable to proceed further,
when he caught Ids arms around a small
tree, and made tip his mind to die in that
position, lint fortunately for him, in a
sew hours afterwards, a settler discovered
him, and carried him on his bark to his
raiiehe, which was about two miles dis
tant, where lie was properly eared for.
lie gives a glowing account of < olorado,
and it is liis intention to return there next
spring. He left Denver City on the oth

The beauliful Piano Fortes of GROVESTEEW A Co.are
deemed by all good judges to be the Ultima Thole of
instruments of the kind.
We cannot suggest w hat is wanting to make a mu
sical instrument more perfect, although we are slow
to admit that the limit of improvement can ever be
attained.
Before they had brought their Pianos to their pre
sent excellence, they had submitted them to compe
tition with instruments of the best makeTS of this
country and Europe, and reeeiveJ the reward of mer
it, over all others, at the celebrated World's hair. It
is but ju-tiee to say tnat thejudgment thus pronounced
has not been overruled by th musical world.
Still, by the improvements lately applied by them
to their Pianos, it is admitted that a more perfect in
strument has been made. They have accordingly
achieved the paradox of making excellence more
excellent, Surely, after this, they are entitled to the
motto "Excelsior." novli-ly
