Natural Curiosity—Many passengers
through the Narrows below this place, on
t l, e p. R. R. no doubt fail to observe a
] Hr ov rock about half way up the moun
taia. jii~t above the division house, about
6 miles down, which nature has carved
into the form of a soldier standing on
picket, in the act of peeping around a
rock, as if listening, his cap, coat, knap
aai-k, and other appurtenances being well
defined, the whole forming a giant statue
of life-like appearance.
Fourth of July passed ofr quietly here,
if we except the usual firing of pistols,
crackers, fcc. by Young America. Some
eiodit picnics were held in differentgroves,
ncurlv all of which received a drenching
from the heavy storm of the afternoon.
Some of our citizens attended the dedica
tion services at Altooua. Some drunk
ards were on the streets, and one little
scuttle composed the riotic (without Pat)
j, art of the day, and the town was gaily
decorated with two flags.
fryy Our young pastoral friend John
Henderson, who has been absent for live:
years, now holding a charge in Indiana,
l,as returned to sojourn a week or two at
his old home. On Sunday last he preached
morning and evening in the Lutheran
church, and also addressed the children's
church which convened in the afternoon. |
Re has a large number of friends, who:
were giad to welcome him after so long
an absence.
Death of Rev. J. P. Swanger. —We re
gret to learn that Rev. J. P. Swanger,
formerly of this county, died suddenly,
after a brief illness, in Baltimore. He
wa lneinherof the East Baltimore Con
ference of the M. E. Church, and stood
high in the estimation of all who knew
hi n. At the time of his decease lie was
jo-tor of the Grecumont Avenue Chapel,
jn Baltimore city. His body was em
balmed, and passed here on Monday, on
the way to Milesburg, Centre county,
where it was buried.
Repairs. —McAtee's Lewistown Mill is
now in process of renovation and im
provement on an extensive scale, nearly
the whole interior having been denuded
of machinery to make room for the work
men. The extent of this establishment,
now that an entire Hour can be taken in
at a glance, is far more apparent than at
any time since it was put up by John
Sterrett, and this is esjiecially the case on
tiie lower lloor, where what constitutes
the water way is exposed to view eigh
teen or twenty feet below. Here work
men are engaged in doing the neces
sary work for the reception of four "Tur
bine wheels"—generally considered the
best and most powerful wheel ever invent
ed—which are to replace the old wooden
ones. The strength of the Turbine wheel
may be inferred from the fact that a
stream of water running through an inch
pi[e is sufficient to drive a power printing
press, which fact was proved at (if we ree- j
olieet aright i Hartford, Connecticut, du
ring the past year. When re-modeled,
the machinery will no doubt represent all
the latest improvements, and enable the
proprietors to turn all the wheat in the
neighborhood into a first class article of
the staff of life.
An Heir. —Several weeks since we pub
lished an article relative to the "Johns
fortune." Mrs. Kauffman, an elderly la
dy of this place, being able to trace her
lineage in that direction, has written sev
eral letters, addressed to parties mention
ed in the above named article, but has not
received very satisfactory answers as to
their own claims to the estate, so that not
much information could be given as to
her connection with it. The matter no
il uibt will be more thoroughly investiga
ted.

The High Constable'lias given notice
that bathing in the canal and river in

Quite an excitement was created after j

, Spriggle escaped through it is said the I
connivance of the inmates. The matter
will probably result in a suit at court.

storm passed over the valley portion of
the county and then through Decatur, ;
from which large hail fell in some quar

who were caught in all directions, both
on land and water. Since then we have
had storms and showers almost daily.
Neighboring Counties.
A neighbor informs the LewisbureM
Chronicle that two trees, remarkable on i
account of age, were recently cut and

on the property ot John Edleman, was i

the other, on the property of B. Thomp-i

was calculated by the annual circles.

Horrible Murder in Indiana County. —
The peaceful community in the village of
Washington, Canoe township, says the;
Indiana Democrat, was startled on Mon
day last by the commission of a cool and
deliberate murder perpetrated by an old
and respectable citizen, ujion the person
of his own son-in-law. The murderer is
Nicholas Vandevinder, and his victim:
John B. Bowers. It appears that some
time ago Vandevinder divided his prop-)
erty between his two sons-in-law, the de
ceased John B. Bowers and Eli NI i 1 lor,
with the understanding that Bowers, who;
had got the home farm, was to keep him
during his life. Lately Vandevinder be
came dissatisfied with his treatment, nl-j
leging that lie was persecuted and treated
harshly by Bowers and his family. This
at length so preyed upon his mind that
he formed a deliberate purpose to kill
Bowers.
On Monday morning last, after Bowers
had left the house and gone to a field a j
short distance off, accompanied by his:
two little sons, for the nurposeof plowing
corn, Vandevinder coolly and deliberate
ly loaded his rifle, a most formidable look
ing instrument of death, and followed
him. Concealing himself in a fence cor
ner Vandevinder waited until Bowers
passed him, when hiking deliberate aim
he shot him down, the ball entering his
left side and killing him instantly. The
murderer ran away, but was soon after
captured and brought to Indiana, where
he was committed to jail.

The Glorious Fourth.
MESSRS. EDITORS:—The .spirit of '76 is
not yet dead in quiet, unpretending Men
no. On the Evening of the Fourth, the
" Young American Society" gave an en
tertainment in the "Old Brick Church,"
which did themselves credit, and fitly cel
ebrated the nation's greatest anniversary.
A large and appreciative audience assem
bled, notwithstanding the heavy rain that
had fallen an hour before.
The following was the orderof exercises:
Prayer, by Rev. J. M. Sleek ; Song, by
Olee Ciub; Reading of Declaration of In
dependence, by R. A. Patton ; Oration, by
J. R. Fleming; Song, by Glee Club; Ora
tion, by Jerome Croser*; Essay, by R. T.
Fleming; Song, by Glee Club; Oration,
by J. C. Fleming; Reading of Young
American's Offering; Oration, by S. \V.

These performances were all creditable
and befitting the occasion. Especial praise
is due to the Glee Club of Belleville, for
their very excellent singing, adding as it
did so much to the interest of the evening.
The meeting adjourned with three cheers
for the good " did Flag."

MESSRS. EDITORS :—lt affords me much
pleasure to say to you in relation to your
inquiry in regard to the success of our ex
periment in making coke metal at this
place, that it has been a perfect success as
far as demonstrating beyond the shadow !
<it a doubt, that we have all the requisite
material here for the successful manufac
turing of pig metal with coke. The only
difficulty we encountered was the want
of sufficient blast—as is takes a much
stronger blast to smelt iron with coke
than charcoal. It appears to have been a
mooted question up to this time as to
whether the coal in the Broad Top region
would make a coke suitable for the man
ufacture of pig metal. But now, I am
happy to say, all doubts of that kind may
he safely laid aside, and the position as
sumed, that we have a valley here, that
in mineral wealth ami natural ad vantages
for the manufacturing of iron, is second
to no other locality in our State, a fact
that the capitalists of this great manufac
turing State will not long remain igno
rant of. The great mistake that was
made in the early development of this re
gion, was the fact everything else but coal
lands were lost sight of, instead of the
pioneers of this valley securing a propor
tionate amount of iron ore lands with
their coal lands, which would have rem j
dered them independent, in the event of
a stagnation in the coal trade, having the
facilities at home for the consumption of
their raw material, which would enable
them to ship the manufactured article to
market and still he able to realize a hand
some profit. I venture the prediction
that within five years you will be sur
prised at the progress that will have been
made in this valley. AH that, in my
opinion, appears to he necessary is the
capital ami enterprise to convert this en
tire valley into a busy scene of industry
ami prosperity. Very truly yours,
JOHN F. LOWRY.

NOTICE.
The beautiful Piano Fortes of GROVKSTEKX i Co.are
deemed by all good judges to be the Ultima Thulc of
instruments of the kind.
We cannot suggest what is wanting to make a mu
sical instrument more perfect, although we are slow
to admit that the limit of improvement can ever bo
attained.
Before they had brought their Pianos to their pre
sent excellence, they had submitted them to compe
tition with instruments of the best makers of this
country and Europe, and received the reward of mer
it, over all others, at the celebrated World's Fair. It
is but justice to say that the judgment thus pronouueed
has not been overruled by the musical world.
Still, by the improvements lately applied by tliem
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." uovl-l-ly
