A Ct KIOLs CASK FOll SURGEONS aicdicul skill Buttled. A curious case for medical men has just came to light at St. Mary’s Hospital iu Do- j troit. It appears that about seven weeks I ago a gentlomun of fhatdty, having retired in sound keallk tho night before, awoke in tho morning and was uatouuded on discov ering that during the night his right hand and wrist had swollen fully toH.wice its na tural sizo, and yet, strange as it may seem, he experienced no pain. A physician was 1 culled and tho medicine usually applied in cases of swelling was resorted to; but with out other effect than to increase tho swell ing. Other medical advisors were called, but none were able to give tho singular disease a name. Four weeks elapsed, and the swelling finally ripened and discharged a small quantity of thick matter, but the hand immediately began to swell again, and it was soon worse than before. His cased baffled the skill of the most eminent physicians and surgeons or the State, and the patient was finally removed to St. Mury’s Hospital. It is stoted that he has suffered little or no pain, from first to last, but the hand is useless. The wrlßt and palm have received a deep red hue, and the cir culation of the blood In those parts seems to have entirely suspended. Tbe Radical Platform.

From the fact that many thieves wero on the ground who were known not to have been on the train, the great number of tbe dead and wounded who;were robbed, tho subsequent finding of certain articles iu the hands of suspected persons, convinced ut least one man that tho accident at Carr’s Rock was not the result of a defective rail. Therefore, night and day suspectod persons have been under the closest surveillance. Twelve men have been engaged in this work. Meantime, two similar attempts have been made, but no damage has resulted. At last, on the second of June, sufficient evi dence having uccuniuluted to hope for a conviction, tho suspectod man,John Bowen by name, was arrested and confined in the county jail in Milford, l’iko county, Penn sylvania.

A Murderous Assault.— On last Sun day evening a young girl, who lives with a Mr. Worst lu Salisbury township, while on her way home from Scrufftown meeting house, on the Welsh mountain, was mol by a mau who attuckod her with a knife, iu llicling several severe wounds on her arm. Tue fellow escaped, before she could sum mon any ono to her relief, and It being very • ark she could not describe him. The impression is that the perpetrator was some one who knew her, and that jealousy was the cause of his murderous as sault and cowardly action. Skull Fractured.—On Monday even ing some boys, who were engaged in light ing near Leaman Place, were interfered with by a Steffee for the pur pose of making peace among them, when one of the combatants seized a stone, throw ing it at him and striking him on tho head, above the eye, fracturing tho skull slightly. The wound, though severe, is not consider ed dangerous and the patient is doing well. Store Entered.—On Tuesday, the 22 d inst., Mr. Amos Witmer’s store in the vil lage of Paradise was entered by some bur glars and robbed of some valuable pieces of gooffs, w’ith about $5 in small change which had been loft In a drawer. They effected an entrance at the maiu door. The night was bright moonlight, and it is supposed the roboery was committed In the early part of the night, as any one passing would not suspect them. No clue to this robbery. The Crops, —Wheat isdolng its very best all over the country. Rye, barley and other grains are in fine condition. The equine population and their owners will rejoice at the good prospects of plenty of oats. . Corn Is not so forward, owing to the rains, but every lover ol Indian meal will be happy to hear that wherever it has rotted it has generally been replanted, and there iB rea son to expect a fully average crop. Sunday School Convention. A District Sunday School Convention was recently held by the friends of Sunday Schools of Martic and surrounding town ahips in the Odd Follows* Hall at Rawlins yiUe, on Thursday and Friday, June 17th and 18th, which in point of attendance and interest manifested in the cause was one of the most gratifying gatherings of the kind held in tbe county. The convention opened on Thursday morning about 10J o’clock, with devotional exercises, led by Rev. H. E. Spayde, of Slrasburg, and Rev. G. Rob; inson, of Lancaster. Tho object of the call ing of the convention at that place was then stated by the secretary of the County Sun day School Association, after which a tem porary organization was effected Dy the ap pointment of John Crawford, of Mt.

The morning session was closed with praverbyKev. Mr. McNair. The afternoon s«-.ssion was openod, Rev. Riemensuyder leading in prayer. The ques tion “ what uro the wants of country schools,” was tbc-u discussed by Rev. Mc- Nair, followed by Me-srs. Riemensuyder, Urbuu, Reinoehl, F. P. Hart, Scott, Ifofl meier and Gregg. The second question, “Different methods of conducting schools ; what are the best ? ” was opened by W. L, Bc.tr, followed by Messrs. Riemensuyder, R.c-inoebi, Slay maker and Hurt. The discussion elicited the various methods of conducting schools us seen and practical by the several speakers, leaving the Superintendents and teachc-rs present to judge which was the best. Rev. Rii-iuensnyder opened the question, “ By wh.it means cun Sunday Scuools bo made more interesting and useful?” The question was discussed by Messrs. Denues, D. S. Bure, Dr. E. B. Herr, J. L. Hoffmeier, aud Reinoehl. The afternoon exercises closed with an object lesson by D. S. Bure, aud a hymn connected with n was taught to the audience iu a short time, and sung with great spirit. In the evening the hall was again crowd ed. Devotional exercises were engaged in until the audience had assembled, when Rev. Riemensuyder presented the .Sunday School mission work of tho county, ami the vast number of children not yet gather ed iu. He was followed by Rev. Robinson, of Lancaster, who proceeded to tdiow that I all were called to work for Christ. No one | was excused, not even the unconverted.— j Cupt. Denues, was the last speaker of Die J evening, and made nil earnest address up- ; on the importance of early religious train- j mg, aud of the good results attained by thy j labor of earnest and faithful teachers in Sunday Schools. | Un Friday morning tho children -issem- I bled with ibeir parents and tiienda, and filled the hall to its utmost capacity. Rev. ■ Kiemeusnyder conducted tho opening d->- j ; votlonul exercises, aud deiivered un b ” . - | osting address to the children and pciwiis. : Ho was followed by W. L. Bear, who sue- . , corded in securing tho attention < f ail dur- j ( ing his entire address. D. H. Bare gave an i illustrative blackboard lesson, which ab- 1 | Horned the interest of all present, and closed by teaching tho children a hymn from a [ chart, which so pleased them that they retained the chart fur the use of tho school. An offer uf a book was made to any of the scholars who would recite the ten com mandments without a failure, which wa> | promptly accepted by tbo scholars, Mar \ gtu'ul Jauo fSoiplo and Clara ShoH'succecded iiu guining the prize. Others made exed j lent attempts, and showed that coinmit ! ment of Scripture was nothing new to th**m. The sessions of this interesting convention closed witli heartfelt expressions of gratifi cation, of tho mutual profit derived, and of thanks to those who had come from abroad l to give their time and experience lo n:- ; courage .superintendents, teachers, and | children and parents in tho Sunday School ; work. The visiting members also exprr-s.-c* l their thanks for the kind aud hospitable entertainment extended ffo them. Rev. Gregg, of Rawlinsville, invoked the Piviuo ; blessing, inn .fervent appeal, upon the 1 doings of the convention, and upon : all who were present, and singing the 1 benediction. A largo number of persons , in conveyances came iu the afternoon, sup- ' posing that the session would continue 1 during tho day. There is no doubt that 1 the attendance would havo been still larger ; than any previous ' Fatal Accident— One Mon Killed and Two Injured.—A sad accident occurred ut ■ tbo Conestoga Furnace, this city, yester day, about half past eight o’clock. *Thr<*o men named John Schleroth, George Kleiss, , and George Wolf, in the employ of Messrs. B. B. Thomas A A. 11. Peacock,'proprietors of tho Furnace, wero engaged in taking the , lining out of the interior ‘of tho furnace , stuck, at a height of some twonty five feet from the ground, when tho scaffolding upon which they were standing broke down, pro- . cipitating them to the bottom. John Schlereth was struck on the bead by a bricK or a piece of the material used : in erecting the scaffold and had bis skull terribly Iractured, a hole about an inch in diameter being made in it. the portion of the skull thus broken being forced into the brain, causing death instantaneously; his nock was also broken. The de ceased was also badly bruised about the arms and body. Schlereth was one of the headkeepers at the furnace, and ha-: been employed at it for some ten or fifteen years; he resided near Si. Joseph’s Catholic Church, in the Eighth Ward, wns a nntivo of Germany, and has nlwnys been u hard working, in dustrious man. He was about fifty years of age, and leaves a wife and three chil dren, the youngest of whom is about twelve years of age. George Kleiss, one of the helpers at tho furnace, was very badly hurt ono of his ribs being fractured and his spine injured; ho was unable to walk and had to be conveyed to hts residence, in South Prince street, near the furnace, Kleiss has a wifo and one child. His physician Dr. M. L. Herr thinks he was also considerably hurt internally—be therefore liesinacrit cal condition, but is expected to ultimate ly recover. George Wolf, also a beadkeeper at the Furnace, was not seriously hurt; his in juries consisting of some bad flesh wounds and ugly bruises about the arms, he will probably be able to resume work in a short time. Wolf has a largo family depending upon him for their support. The narrow es cape he and his comrade, Kleiss, made from instant death was wonderful. The accident wns caused by the fall of a ma«s of bricks and refuse mutter from tho wall of the furnace stack on the scaffold upon which the men were standing, tho weight of which crushed it down—tho part on which Mr. Schlereth was staudiug falling first, and in a moment after tho portion oc« ; cupied by Wolf and Kleiss followed, which i fact may account for tho escape of the latter two from the sad fate of their unfortunate | comrade. An inquost was subsequently held by Coroner George Leonard upon the body of Mr. Schlereth, and a verdict iu accord ance with the facts above narrated was rendered. Litiz.— The boys of A. U. Beck’s family school at Litiz aro now giving their Fourth Annual Reception. It was hold ou Wed nesday and Thursday evenings, and ends this evening. Thecataloguo contains Re citations, Dialogues aud Dramatic* Repre sentations, und tho ontertalumout Is said to be very interesting. The Springs Hotel has opened with nbont fifty guests. A Lancaster party of ladies ana gentlemen bad a supper and a danco In tho ffno dining-room, on Wednesday evening. F. W. Christ, who has lately been ap pointed Postmuster, here, bolds also the offices of Justice of the Feace aud Notary Publio, which he will have to resign to take the Postmastership. Hayden Tshudy will then be appointed Notary. A Serious Flood.— Last Sunday eve ning Pequea Creek and its tributaries wero flooded so much as to do serious damage tu adjacent fields of grass, corn and wheat. — Several loads of hay were swept off by the high water, and fieldaof grass were so much, flooded as to be unlit for use. The smaller bridge at Brua’s mill was overturned, and persons could not cross tho creek without driving several miles around. The corn fields wero very much washed, and gave the farmers some trouble; altogether the flood did seriouß damage. A Colt with Five Feet.—Mr. Isaac Hershey of Paradise township, has in his possession a colt with five perfectly formed feet, two of which are on the right hind leg. It is now three years old and has been worked, the extra foot not interferring materially with its locomotion. Festival at Intercouse.—The citizens of Intercourse look forward to their annual festival with unbounded pleasure. The village was “ alive” with people on last Saturday evening it being the time for the event. Miller’s orchard was beautifully decorated, and there was a super-abund ance of ice-cream, strawberries, and cakes. The City Cornet Band, of Lancaster, add ed much to the occasion with their excel lent musio, and everything past off to the Bfttiifaotion of all present, A Boaug Radical Rebel General.— ! On Taesday evening, when the 6 o'clock pas • eenger traiu west stopped at our depot, a tall man ‘with a military air was seen to step from the can. He wore a heavy board slightly silvered by time, .and the early frosts that often come with tne first days of life’s Autumn liud fallen lightly upon bis luxuriant locks. The hands upon the train, and we believe the conductor himself, an* nounced that he who had j ust debarked was no less a personage than Gen. Longstroet, soma time of the Confederate army, in which he fought many battles with varying success and complete final dis appointment of all his high-blown hopes; but more lately one of the lucky army of Grant’s relations, and, by virtue c f that connection, having all his sins washed out, and being chosen and con firmed Collector of Customs at the Port of New Orleans. People, good, honest, sim ple-minded people are somehow nfilicted with a desire to see and to shake hands with great men, and fiunkeyiam of the most disgusting character can be seeu going on as well in Republican America as under , any European mouarcby. It i 3 not I to be wondered at therefore, that our little city whs soon in a per- j feet bnz of excitement. After writing i on the register of the City* Hotel, “R. 11. i Longstreet, N. O.,’’ in a bold hand with a : grand ilourish beneath, the distinguished arrival took a drink of whiskey at the bar, us a soldier might be supposed to do, and eat his supper with all the appetite of an old campaigner. Lighting a cigar he proceeded to take a seat on the por tico iu front of the holed, where he was soon surrounded by au admiring and gaping crowd of people, for the rumor had spread with the rapidity of a fire alarm that Gen. Longstreet was in town. | Culm tunatoly our most distinguished and I officious Radical politicians were absent in | Philadelphia, whither they had gone with i the vain hope of preventing the renomiua- i tiou of that priuee of military humbugs, | John W. Geary. Little did they dream that a greater iliuu he had dropped down in Lancaster during their absence. Those who wore left did the best they could in their small way, audex-members of the Legislature, Court House officials and ; Ward managers wended their way to the j point of attraction-, and humbly beg- ! ged ibe privilege of un introduction, | which the General freely accorded, puffing | a common cigar between his utterances, with all the regularity, but not quite with tbe.soleum reticeuco of Ulysses, the smok ing tanner. Singular to say, however, our Radical friends were not permitted to mon opolize tho groat apoMate. Some honest . and unsuspecting Democrats were among [ those who paid uiteutions to him. The ut- | terunces of the stranger were not us iu- | leusly loyal as would become a Federal ! Officeholder who draws a huge salary, j and during the evening lie and oue ot | the soldier officials about our Couit 1 House got iutu an altercation which | at one time gave promise of ending in a i row. Whiskey flowed freely, and the Gen- j end moved thereby fought bis battles j ever again in wordy contests, with die ' members of the Grand Army of the Repub- j he. How the General slept, or what he j dreamed, wo know not, but early iu the i morning ho was seen upon our streets, i looking as if he had either drank too much | whiskey befor-' retiring or taken too many i cocktails before breakfast. Great men are ! often notedly careless about pecuniary I mutters. Such was the case with Daniel ! Webster, and such seemed to have been the : case with the distinguished strunger iu our I midst, lie had big drafts in his wallet (so I he said) but no small change, with which to purchase mututinal drinks in his vest pocket. To ask the loan of a dollar was a condescension, and to lend it a privilege. But, as Ihe morning sun dispelled tho mists of night, and soda water dissipated the futnes of the evonings potations, quite a number of the good citi zens of Lancaster began to thiuk they had been sadly sold. The General failed to sustain by day tho role which ho had so successfully played by night, and one who had lent him a dollar made complaint against him leforo the Mayor, for obtaining money under false pretenses. A humiliating .-igbt it:wus to see the lion of the night shuttling along with sheepish uml shamefaced air in the custody of a policemuu. lie was—we almost hesitate to write it—thrust unceremoniously into the lock-up, while those who hail toasted and feted him looked on In stupid amazement Whou brought forth after dinner to answer to the charge preferred against him, he addressed the Court, almost iu tho Motiticvil language/-!' Bottom, tho Weaver: “ I would request you, or I would en treat you, not to fear, not to tremble: my life for yours, If you think I come hither us a lion, it were pity of my lile : No, lain no such thing; I am a man as other men areand there, indted let mo nume my name ; aml tell you plainly I .am Die!; Loucks, of York .State." Tlio Mayor limilly brought him down from his stilts and made.him understand that it was nut a mutfbr of lionizing at all but a plain question as to whether he was guilty of obtaining a ono dollar greenback uuder l.ilso pretenses or not. lie ottered to pay buck tho dollar, but the Joauer would not compound the matter, and ho who had the Radical politicians of the town at his fi-et the night before, went to jail for want of ?20() bail, with a crowd of ragged urch ins at his heels. Those who had seen so much that was attractive in the bogus Rad ical rebel general, saw nothing to admire or pity in poor discorrililted Richard Loueks, of York State. The spirit which pave life to tho Yellow-Plush papers still lives In Lancaster. PISCIIAfiiin FROM CUSTODY. Richard Loucks, alias K. 11. Longs'.reet, was brought before Judges Long, Hayes and Libhart on Friday, on a writ of habeas carpus. The charge of false pt etence hav ing been withdrawn by the prosecutor, the case was summarily disposed of by the Court) by the discharge of Loncks from further custody. The explanation made by Loucks in extenuation of his conduct, was that ho is a member of tire secret poli tical organization known ns the Grand Army ot tho Republic, and that he was re cently attending a meeting of the organiza tion 'in Philadelphia. While in that city, ho got on a spree, and was under the iutlu ence of liquor whon ho commenced per sonating tho famous rebel, now Radical, Longstreet, in this city. It also appeared li>:!u authentic documents in his porc-es* sion, that ho served during the late war in the* Federal army, and is by profession a lawyer. His home is in tho State of New York. The suddeu abandonment of the case was a great disappointment to the specta tors, who freely insinuated that the mem bers of the Graud Army who had beet) hob nabbing with tho “General,” had tbrowu iu tea c.-nts a piece, uml denied themselves their eleven o'clock beer, to make up the dollar in dispute; -so anxious were they to avoid b-'inj'put upon the slaud aud com pelled to testily how often they had draok with the “General," what they had said to him about his and their deedaof volor, and how much in the generosity of their hearts ih<*y had in-dsted upon lending him, until he got beck to his chair in tho New Or leans fuilimi House, lie is said to have tendered a clerkship therein to one of these loyal young men, who gratefully accepted me offer, and gratified his family exceedingly by announcing to them that night, wiili rather thick utterance, ins good luck ; next mormug ulier a hasty break fast bis mother and sisters went to work to pack the lovely brothers trunk in readiness tor the evening train and were about put ting in the lasfdtckey, when the distracted father rushed in from the bank, where he had gone to buy a draft on N'ew Orleans, v. ith the news that tho General wuis in jail! Every body fainted. Such a mass of humanity as had fallen inanimate and laid spread out on the top of that trunk, was never seen before,—six sisters.; one mother, one father and the hopeful son ! 'Twas a sad sight. The Assessor did not wunt to go on the witness stand for very good reason:-*. lie blushed to think how lie had complimented tho General his face as “ the noblest, bravest and last of tho Southern Ci.iuimaulers"; jhe shuddered to think of the gratiliealinn he had expressed ut being atfordod the op; or ttmity of clasping by the hand his old fi>*\ “ who more than realized in his pors.di and be iring, tho high estimate he had formed of him Irorn his couduct during the war ; he was nppalled at tho thought that all that ho had said to the “ General ” about their mu tual valor in their mutual battles, would bo druwn out and bo printed in the newspa pers. “ General, we whipped you at Knox ville. Your nttapk was magnificently planned, but those ground wires graveled you. And 1 was there 100, Geuerul ; the odds against you wore too groat,” Captain 8, ncc General Grant, was not anxious to testify either; lie had been lighting somo of Ills battles with tho “Gen eral" .over again, whenever lie could get him out of the Assessors hands, but under tho clrcuuiHtuncos ho preferred not to repeat wlmt ho and tho “General" had said to each other. Captain M., , also was modestly In clined. JIo had with groat pains written n loiter about tho “General" to President Grant, which ho thought was no meun specimen of composition; but he did not think it would be respectful to tho President to liavo the letter appear iu the newspapers before he had received it; nor did ho want to testify to its contonts. So tho dollar was raised and tho public wero cheated out of their expeceed enter tainment. The Fourth at Litiz.— Tho ever glori ous 4th will be celobrated ut Liliz with | moro than usual spirit this year. There i will bo a parade of the American Moclian- I ics, and tho Fenclblea’ Battalion will on- I camp there from tho 3d to the Ikb. Tho.* Springs will be illuminuted in the usual brilliant style In the evening. A large crowd will be in attendance throughout the day, which will find ample accommodations at the fine hotel,there.

' A Precious AuTooKAru.—The Express has attached to its local corps a supernu merary fellow who now and then gets ofl’ some soft things over the signature of “ Quid,” a Latin pronoun, which, being in terpreted, means “ What is it?” We do not suppose the fellow meaut to institute a comparison between himself and Bar num’s remarkable natural phenomenon l thougli muuy people do wonder what kind oi a creaturo that can be which gets off such silly things. This “ Quid” is not exactly what sailors term “ au old soldier,” but ho evidently has some anxiety to be on inti mate terms with military celebrities. The ; other eveuing he eutreated Dick Loucks, of York State, the fellow who was parad ing himself through our city as General Lougstreet, to give him his autograph, presenting at the satno time a card, which announced the fact that he was connected with the Radical daily news paper of this city. The General was com placent, and it was not long until “ Quid ” was made superlatively happy by haviug one oi bis own cards returned with the sig nature, “R. H. Longstreer, N. O.” boldly executed on the back. With joyful spoed “Quid” hastened to tho residence of his “ Amelia,” and, though the hour was a lit tle late, found her gazing in silent rapture at the ineluneholy moon. In glowing language he related to her tho result of his interview with tho great recon structed rebel chieftain, and dwelt in rapturous. phrase upon hia condescension, exhibiting at tho same time the card which bore his own familiar and endeared name on oue side and tho name of tho great celebrity ou)the)olber. “Amelia”gazed in wrapt and admiring wonder at tho two names thussingulurly conjoined, and steal - thiiy imprinted a sly kiss on one other. “Quid juiU'’ Which side ■of tho card did shy kiss? That is the question which is now uppermost in “Quid’s” brain. Thu story of his folly has got abroad, and his oompanionstnll hail himjwith the title of “General." He iloosnot like tho souhriquot, and as lie sees the smiles on tho facesofhis friends, lie cries out as if in pain— 1 “ (>:ii<l rules/'' i’lu V ki i uta e, i.ks. — lsaac li.

OiToMiD to Loco.mot!vks.-Wo lind in Harpers Weekly the following incident of local interest; g*,;* “ I u these days of rapid transit it may bo scarcely credited that at the introduction of tho;steuin-ongiue upou railroads it encoun tered the most viokmt oppositiou. Whon our Pennsylvania Railroad between Phila delphia ami Columbia was lirst progressed in, lew considered that any other power would be used thereon but that of the horse, and ouch was the power used originally al most exclusively, A bill was atlengtk in troduced in tho Legislature providing for the purchase of ten locomotives therefor. Notwithstanding atroug opposition it pass ed both Houses, and wus sent to the Gov ernor for approval. Here, however,it was arrested, and the clamor agaiust the law reached Us climax. Delegations from the Anti-Masonic districts through which the road passed came to Harrisburg in quictc succession, appealing to his Excellency in tho strongest manner. They represented that tho measure would destroy the horse and gruin markets, ansL prostrate the best 1 interests of the farmer. Overcome by this : pressure, the Governor interposed hia veto and the bill fell. About this time a train i was coming up tho road, drawn by one of j the objectionable machines. Wheuashort j distance below Lancaster, tho engineer I perceived a monster bull on the track ; he [ reversed, approaching the animal at a ro j duced speed, when he quietly left tho track, j apparently in disgust. The speed was re ! sumed. At tho moment of the immediate i approach, however, his builskip wheeled j around into the track, lowered his head, ! and made buttle. This was so sudden that | nothing cotfTd save him.. The beam Btruek ■ bun (there were no cow-catchers in those , days), and knocked him, dead, down un ! embankment ot thenty feet. Tho writer was a guest, soon after these occurrences, at a public dinner commem orative of one of the Jackson victories, at which, nmoug other toasts, this one was giveu, and I need not say well received : “ Governor Ritter and Colonel Slaymaker’s ! big bull— both opposed to Zocomohrc.H” In i the after contests on the subject that toast | spoke volumes as to tho nature ot tho op | position to science and progress.” Rich Silver Ore. --Mr. W. P. Strachan, who last year murried a daughter of l)r. Benj. Misbler, has been spending some time in New Mexico, where ho formerly lived. Some time since he sent specimens of silver ore Irom the vicinity of Albuquer que to be tested in Philadelphia. Tho re sult of an assay showed that the “top rock” yielded 71).G ounces of silver to the ton of ore, tiie coin value of which is $123.58; a second specimen, “J 2 feet down" yielded 95.8 ounces to the ton, coin value $123.53. They are rich specimens and we hope Mr. Strachan may have secured a good large claim. x Sudden Death.— Tho Mutiheitn Sentinel states that John R. Sheaff'er, an old and re spectable citizen of Penn township, died of apoplexy on Wednesday morning. De ceased was a hale old man, and up to tho time of his death enjoyed good health.— Mr. .Shealfer was appointed keeper of the lirst 101 l gate on the Manheun and Lan caster turnpike on tho 2d of •'■•tober. 3*.-2, and has faithfully, discharged tho duties of his ninco ever since. Dap.load Contract. --Tho Uarri-hur.; rn!no! spues that the M Idle Creek 11. U. Company have concluded an agreement with John 11. M'Guvern, contractor, of this city, by which tho latter is to immediately resume the work of grading tho road, at the eastern terminus on the Susquehanna, end complete it to a point 17 miles f:om Lowislown, by February next.

Kauff man, paid to tho guardian of the children of tiie lato E. Geiger, of this city, the sum of $5,000, it being tho amount of a Ldfo Policy iu that Company. This prosperous Company has uow ussois over $23,000,000. uud has a lurgo numbor of Policies Issued to citizens of this county. Licenses.-Vendors of Merchandise must take out their licenses before July Ist. All not paid before thut time must be placed In an Alderman's hands for collection. The irnnyossimi that licenses cannot be paid un upafter the uppeai is a mistake. * Entertainment. —Tho SienUncl says that B. D. Danner’s School recently gave an entertainment in Munhoiin borough. Tho house wus tilled with an appreciative audience, and a large number could not gain admittance. The exercises wore very interesting. G. F. Gage, Superintendent of the Read ing and Columbia Kailroad, baa issued posters announcing that an extra train each way will be run on tho evening of July sth, in addition to regular trains. Trains leave Litiz at 10.30 each way in the evoning, giv ing ample time to excursionists to witness the line display of lire works, illumination, (fee., which annually takes place In that bsautiful borough. Name Chanoed.— The Postofflce, In this county, heretofore known by the name ot “ Turkey Hill,” has had its name changed to “ Cresweil.” Mr. Levi B. Immel still holds the position of Postmaster. This change of name should be observed in di recting letters.

In this horrid po sition he was dragged somo distance, when the force of a kick from the vicious brute dislodged his foot, throwing him directly under the wheels, which passed over his body. Ho was mutilated some, but his in ternal iojuries, it is feared, are irreparable. New Masonic Hall. — Washington Lodge, No. 156, A. Y.
