Festival, —The members of the Luther
an Choir of this place intend holding an '
lee Cream Festival and Lunch Supper, to
begin on Wednesday of next week, and
continuing several evenings thereafter, j
The proceeds will be applietl to the pur
chase of new musie books, anil the bal
ance, if any, to the organ fund. The pub- j
lie are invited to attend. It will be held
in Mrs. Fiehthorn's Store-room, West
Market street.
Working of the New Law.—The new tem
perance law was put into force for the first;
time we believe in this county last week,
under the provision where a man taken !
up for intemperance is required to tell
where lie procured the liquor. Ilis an
swer in this ease implicated a tavern keep
er in lleedsville and one in this town, and
if the ease is followed up it must result in
the forfeiture of both licenses. The pub- i
lie will await the action of Justice, Dis
trict Attorney and Court with some de
gree of interest, as should the case not be •
suffered to he settled or continued, as lias
been the ease frequently, and acoiiviction j
take place, it would add auother forcible (
example towards preventing intemper
ate iiieu from procuring liquor.
New Church. —The church-going folks of
Newton Hamilton and vicinity have
awakened a spirit of enterprise, and now
have a fair prospect for erecting a new
Presbyterian church, proposals for which
will be received until September Ist. It
is to be of brick, two stories high, and 4-5
by t>3.
The Weather.—lt commenced raining
on Thursday night last and continued,
with little intermission for about thirty
hours. It came from the east and there
fore caused but a slight rise in the Juni
ata. On Sunday it was very warm, the
thermometer at 3 o'clock standing9l. On
Tuesday morning v/e again had showers
of rain, which, with the former have put
the ground in good order for fall plowing,
and ensure a good crop of corn.
Serious damage was done to the West
Branch Canal last week by land slides \
and Hoods, and nearly all the railroads
from New York to Virginia suffered more
or less damage. The storm was most vi
olent at Baltimore. According to the tel
egraph it extended over a great part of,
Eurojie at the same time.
The Directors of the Middleereek Rail
road, at their meeting last week, appoint
ed Col. Henry C. Eyera Director in place
of Thomas lleaver, resigned. What is |
known as the Jack's creek route was
adopted, the line being almost straight, |
and easily made, while the route through
Lillvsville was 1700 feet longer, much
curved, and more expensive. It was the
general wish of Decatur to have the road
at the latter place, but the board, although
anxious to gratify their friends there,'
deemed it unwise under the circumstan
ces to adopt it.
i lie market was well supplied yesterday
morniiur with meats of all kinds and ex
cellent vegetables raised by gardeners in
and near town. All that is wanting to
establish a good market is a general dis
position among our citizens to buy there.
B, tor the present, they pay a few cents
more, they ought to bear in mind that ev
erything is fresh, and also that competi
tion would have a tendency to cheapen
things brought there for sale. We
might instance this in several articles
which can be had in any quantify desired
at as low a price as the same articles sold
for by the bushel a year or two ago—a fact
which demonstrates what we have often
averted would be thy case with proper
encouragement.

Aeiglilioi-ing (On 11 ties.
Bog Drowned. —Bennie Jones, a bov
about four years of age, whose parents re-;
side 111 Hollidavsburg, was missed from
home, on Wednesday evening of last!
week. Diligent search was made for the
lost hoy in town and vicinity, hut no;
trace of him was found, until after ten!
■j o'clock; while a party of men were search
ing in the canal, when his little boat was
found floating on the water, in the "slip"
f next above the rolling mill of the Juniata
Iron Manufacturing Company. Boon
after his body was found close to the
mouth of the "slip" in the canal by Mr.
• George Atkins.
A number of gentlemen from Philadel
phia are engaged at present in making
: maps of Union and Snyder counties. —
Tlie surveys have been made and they are
j now at work making the maps.
On Sunday night a week the office of
John Farnsworth, Esq., Treasurer of
Northumberland county, was forcibly en
tered and robbed of £l5O, which was de
posited in the money drawer of his table, i
Ham Burnt. —The large barn, belong
ing to Mr. William Stump, about 31 miles |
below Centre Hall, was struck by light
ning on Saturday last,and totally destroyed
by tire. It contained the crops of the
past harvest, and much other valuable
property. We presume the loss is cov
ered by insurance in the Pen us Valley
Insurance Company.— litllej'onte Brass.
Accident and Death. —A young man
named Calvin Cypher, employed as a
; brakeman on the Huntingdon and Broad
Top Railroad, was injured to such an ex
' tent, on Friday evening a week, that he
died a few hours afterwards. From what
information we can gather, he was on the
. train that conveyed tlie Good Templars
on their picnic excursion, and after hring
| ing them to town, the train was taken to
the "cut" across the river, and while en
gaged in getting the cars in their proper
positions, young Cypher was caught be
tween one of the cars and tlie platform, a
space about eight inches wide, and rolled
tlie entire distance of tlie platform, which
is some twenty feet in length, literally
| crushing him to a jelly about his heart
and shoulders. He was a young man
about sixteen or seventeen years of age,
and from what we can learn was sober
and industrious.— Jfunti/if/don Journal.
Sad and Fatal Accident. —Last Friday,
Daniel Stuck, of Mahantango, Juniata
j county, suddenly lost his life by the acci
dental discharge of a pistol in the hands
of another person. Mr. Stuck was a na
tive of West Perry township, Snyder <•<>.,
j and bad during tin? last twoor three years
' been engaged in the mercantile business
'at McKee's j Falls, Snyder county. But
during the present summer lie erected a
building at Mahantongo station where he
proposed to engage again in tlie mercan
tile business. The liuildiug was about
; completed, and he had also secured a post
ollice for the place, and intended in a week
or so to go to the city to purchase goods,
when suddenly and unexpectedly lie is
cut down in the prime of life—being
about 28 or 30 years of age. He and sev
eral other persons engaged at shooting
mark with a pistol, and whilst he and
some one ot the company were examining .
the mark they were shooting at, another
stood off ready to shoot, and by some
means or other tlie pistol was accidental
ly caused to discharge its contents, which
entered Mr. Stuck's breast or side and
passed through the liver, etc. He walked i
to the house, but soon expired.—MijJlin

A Woman Tries to Blow Herself
lp Hit Si a Cannon Rail.
One of the most unwhimsical and un
! heard of means of "shufflingoft this mor
j tal coil," occurred in this city on Wed
• nesday. A woman living in the lower!
| part of the city, named Meyer, who, from !
j ill treatment of her husband, had become
disgusted with life, attempted to make
way with herself in the following unique'
manner: She took a six pounder cannon
; hall, which her husband had brought
from Vicksburg as a relic, and which had
i been lying on the mantle-piece for years,
J ami having a rather indistinct conception
of the terrible effects of the projectile,
and the manner of using it, at length hit
upon an idea. She went to Edward's
grocery and purchased fifty cents worth
of powder, returned home, and procuring
a breakfast plate she placed iton the floor.
She then poured the powder on the plate,
and put the cannon hall on top of the
powder. Having thus got her artillery
into position and everything in readiness,
she then sat down over the loaded plate,
and with a burning taper in one hand!
fired the powder. The effect of the ex
plosion may he imagined. Thoexploding
powder burned and blackened the wo
man's lower extremities, while the ball
which she vainly expected would end her
miseries did not stir from its position.!
The unfortunate victim of this insane at
tempt at self-destruction is lying in a
precarious condition from the fool - hardy
attempt upon her own life. — St. Louis Re
publican, '2.6 th.
