FBOSI TEB COAX. BEQKOHB. Coal Breaker on Tire—Over Two Hun dred People in the Mine—Fear tor Their Safety. Scranton, Sept. o.—There is great ox oltement here in consequence of the burning of a coal breaker at Avondale mine in Ply moth, about twenty miles south of thtroity. There are two hundred mon and boys in the mine, and the shaft, which is their only means for escape is choked by forty feet or burning coal and rubbish. Ventilation is totally stopped, and there are great.earn that some, if Dot all, will be suffocated. Plymouth, Sept. G.—A fire broke out this morning in a flue in the bottom of shaft, owned by the Delaware, Tajackawanna and Western. Railroad Com pany, in this place, and in a short time the whole breaker and outbuildings wore in flames, and the hoisting apparatus, the only avonue of escape ior miners, do* stroyod. All offorts to stay the flames were in vain, and the whole structure fell, partly filling up the shaft. Over two hundred mon are in the shaft, and have no communication with the outside, with no uir, as the only way for getting air into the shaft was through the main opening, and that was filled with burning timbers and the dubris. It ip feared that the whole number have been suffocated by the smoke or porlshed for want of uir. The fire departments of Scranton, and Kingston aro on hand uud are playing streams down the shaft for the purpose of quonchlng the fire tboro, so that tbo rub* blah can bo cleared out and the condition of the men nscertalped. It will probably take till to*morrow morning before auy tldlngß can bo received from them. The scene ut the shaft Is hourtrendiug. The families of minora are congregated tboro in groat nurn . bera. Minors from all parts of the county aro thoro at work, and merchants, and in fact the whole population of the town have turned out to assist. Tbo loss by the lire will amount to $lOO,OOO, partly covered by insurance. All the physicians in the vicin ity havo been summoned to attend when the condition, of tho men is ascertained.— The uffalr has oust a gloom upon the whole community, and business is almost entirely suspended*. Tho miners only resumed work to -day, after a suspension of about throe months. Among tho men In tho mines is Mr. Hughes, superintendent, Plymouth, Hept. o.—Alter tho rubbish from tho bottom of tho shaft was cleared away, two men descend d in a bucket uud sent word up to send down a pick and shovol to clear tho doors with. 'Flic buckul was brought up, and two men Hturled down with tools. As they started tho men at the bottom requested them to hurry, and on tholr reaching tho bottom both were f. uud dead. A llro engine from Kingston, undone from Wilkoslmm*, were on thegmund, but water was scarce and tho locution difficult, being high up on a very steep hill side. Tho work of quenching tho lire and clearing the shaft consumed somo hours, meanwhile thousands of pooplo gathered irom tho sur rounding country. Tho families oJ the men in.the pit wore present, and their erics were heartrending. At fifty minutes past live o'clock a dog and lump were sent down in u bucket totesl tho uir, uud when brought back the dog was alive and tbo lamp was lmm ediate preparations wero made lo - descend the shuft, and at (>.35 o’clock a man went down In a bucket, and in seven minutes returned and reported no difficulty in breathing, but met obstructions half way down so that he could not pass. At 0.50 two men wero sent down with toolH. They removed tho obstructions and reached tho bottom of tho shaft and return ed ut 7.15. They reported that they bud penetrated tho gangway sixty or seventy yards, liuding three dead mules, and reach ing a closed door, at which they battered so lustily thut their blows wero hoard übnvo ground, but they got no response and dis |fc covered no sigus of life. Clouds of sulphurous gases wore pouring out through tlio door,yet they could breathe without much difficulty. Tho clouds ol sulphurous gsises mentioned as through tlio gangway door, to which the rest of tho men down hud penetrated, must havo titled that part of the mmoaround the foot of tho shaft if not all of it. Despatches just ren-ived from Avondale say that Thomas SV. Williams, ol Ply mouth, and David Join s, of Grand 'runnel, who wont down to make further investiga tions, were suffocated on their second at tempt. Wilburns is dead, und Ids body was brought out by David 11. Davis and Jionjumin Jones. Thomus Williams went down und drugged David Jones some dis tance to tho foot of tho shuft, when ho wus oorapollod to comu up. John W. and Isaac Kumns then wont down and brought up the body. All who j attempted to go down aro now out alive, i excopt Williams uud Jones. No further . attempt will bo tnado until a small engiuo | Is rigged. Tho loss by tlio burning of tlio a AvoudaloMlno Works to day is from s*(>,- UOO to $lOO,OOO. This mine had been involved in a slriko for ovor throo months, but resumed work last Thursday, and was producing 150 tons of coal per day. All who have been down auy it is very hot, and loud calls have failed to elicit any answer. Several hundred men with u-ols wero tukon from hero this cvie.iug with the idea of drilling a gangway irom a neighboring miuo into the Avondale workings, but as it must be solid rock-cutting this means would probably not relieve the imprisoned mon in time. The distance lo be cut 1h vii rlously estimated at Irom twenty to sixty • feet, and tho lime required two or three days. " , , , , The only hope f.ir ‘J<>2 men In the mine is that Lhuy have »lmt ihomsclvin up In a re- I mote part bf- tbo workings, entirely away from tbo draft. ... , riirllicrl'artlculiirN ol llio llorrlLlo Mining Accident. Noranton, Sept. 7.—Tho lament able mining disaster is the universal subject ol inquiry, thought and feeling, while tho wholo community ‘is thrilled to tho centre with horror. -The mining population as may be expected are more deeply and pain - fully touched than any other class. All work is suspended lu the mines in this vicinity und nearly the whole fori a ol miners lu tho mining dlstriiMslmve gone to Avoudale to remain there until their brethren are brought out dead or alive.— Special trains aro run down from here uud no faro charged those going to Awondrlo.— Thousands havo , gone from 1 his direction alone uud the whole comity is aroused nnd flocking to tho scene of disaster, In the Fourth, Fifth and Sixth, or Hyde I ark wards of this city, the streets are tbiongod with women relallvoH and friends of tho men in tho Avondale pit ougorlv beseeching every person arrlvlug from "below for information, and their weoplng arouses tho sympathy ol all spec tutors. Mining cannot bo resumed at any of the works of the Delaware, Luckawanna and Western Railroad Company within a wook, or ut least until all the funerals ol the Avondale dead aro over. Tho fact ol the f long nnd severe striko Just, ended, adds greatly to the de.stiluth'U which will tol low tho calumlty. Tlio widows and orphans will number not less than six hundred. Sohanton, Sept. 7.—The crowd at Avon dale has become so great .as to interlero with the rollef operations, and the free pas sengor trains are necessarily suspended. Scranton, Sept. 7.—The following des patches to the Scranton Jlcjiublican havo been received from Avondale: 0 o’clock A. M.—The train with a donkey engiuo und fun lias Just arrived.

M.—The latest Intelligence from the awful lire iu the Ayon dale Mine* Works, up to this hour, tins morning, holds out but very slight hopes for tho safety of the two huudred or more mon who have beou shut up iu the earth since yesterday morning. The escape ot gas and choke damp precludes the possi- I ullity of any further attempt at exploration I until the steam fau, which is now being set up, is finished, nothing can be dono to aid [ those in the mine or ascertain if auy one is living. It is feared, but uo one dare express I it, that not a human being is now alive I within tho horrible pit. Numerous theories I as to their sulbty or ciouth are udvauced. I It is asserted by uorno that the utmost in- Btant suffocation of Williams und Jones, who went down seventy feet last night, pro nounces boyond a doubt, the awful doom of those who aro hundreds of foot below uud cut off from all supplies of air. Others assert that if the doors leading to tho prin cipal avenues and chambers wore shut, the choke and fire damp could not reach them, and no gaseous mutter would bo generated when out off from the fire- Old and prac* tloal miners shako tholr huuds, evidently ufrald to venture a prediction of wbat tho Investigation will bring to light, Tboro Is now no fire in the muln entrance or shaft. All possible haste is being made in getting the steam fuu lnto’posltlon.

Wilkesbarbk, Sent. 7—Noon.—A dls patoh just received here Btates that the steam fan Is now in operation, forcing purp air into tho shaft, but the uir is still so foul I that no descent can be madp at present.

Homicide nt Fnirmount Waterworks— Philadelphia—Arrest ©I tho Pcrpe- On Saturday morning between nine and ten o’clock Ulchard D. Carter, the boss stono-mason ut tho falrmount Water Works extension wus shot by Joseph Sny der, also a mason who was formerly in the employment of Mr Curler. Tho ball from one of Colt’s pistols of large size entered the body between the third and fourth ribs passed through tho lungs and over the main blood vessel of tho heart, and came out at tho back near the shoulder, causing death In a short time. There is no known cause for tho deod but the discharge of Sny der, which took place in November lust. Since then lie luts made application to bo tuken buck, but Mr. Carter had declned to receive him. A low 6iinutes before tho re port of the pistol was hoard Snyder was seen by one of the Park guard going towards tho place where tho workmen were dressing stone, aucl meeting Mr. Carter walked a short distance with him. They were ob served to converse, but what wus said could not be overheard. There was nothing, how ever, in the manner of tho men to attract at* i tenlion. Within a short distance of the j workmen Mr. Carter stopped and bent over I a stono to tako the measure of it. When in a stooping position Snyder was heard to say. “I’ll fix him now,” and the next momeut tired one barrel of the revolver. He was muklngpreparatious to discharge tho weupon a second time when the work men approached him, and he moved ofl to wards Contes street with the pistol yet in his hand. No one seemed willing to arrest him armed as he was, until Captain Lyon ot the Park Guard camoout of his station,followed by Lieut. Jacoby of the Sohuylkill Harbor Police. They came up to him nearly about tho samo tiino.but Captain Lyon seized him iirst, after striking him a violent blow in the mouth to confuse him, IhenSwhile Lieut. Jacoby held him from bohind.the pistol was wrenched from his grasp, lie had said that no ono should tako him in the Park, and it was feared that he might use tho weapou in resisting an arrest, The prisoner was remo.vod to tho Central Staiiou, and in tho afternoon, on a heariug lieloro Aid, Kerr, whon nothing but the arrest wus stated, no witnesses to the shoot ing being prosoul, he was committed to await the action of the Coroner.

Mr. Brooks was In the liquor store of .John Keeuun, on Front street below Arch, when two men entered the store and asked for Mr. Keeuun. The boy replied that ho would not be in until übout four o’clock. The men thon turned us if to go out, but one of them drew a pistol and llred at Mr. Brooks, the ball entering bis right side and causing a dangerous wound. The men then ran into tbo street and leaped into a chaise, which was driven oil at a very rapid rate up Front street to Oallow lilll, tip Cullowhili street to St. John, and into tho latter Direct, whero it was lost sight of. At Front aud Cullowhili streets the driver was hailed by detectives Fruuklin and Tyron, who did not know of the shoot* ing and told them not to drlvoso fast.

This woman has grown ohildren nearly white, of whom it is claimed the deceased was the father. The marriuge belweeu the parlies, it is averred, was solemnized some lime last year. Tho relatives of tho deceased deny that auy such marriage ever took place, and as the woman is bold in her as sertion of hor claims as widow of the de ceased, and the children that tho alleged marriage made thorn legitimate, a suit will doubtless follow in tho United States Court where the details of this novel und sensa tional case even to the minutest particular will be fully ventilated.' —Richmond Whig The Richmond Journul gives the uum of tho deceased gentleman ns Wm.

Goldsmith Maid and American Girl, the former owned by Meear*. Doble pnd Jackman and the latter by Mr* Lovell* The trial of speed was for a premium oi $2OOO, offered by the Managers of the Lancaster County Agricultural Park -Asso ciation, who have evinced a determination to make their admirable half-mile track a resort for the fastest horses on the turf. The day opened rather raw ana chilly, threatening’tain; but by two o’clock P. M. the grand stand and enclosure were well filled by a throng of ladles and gentlemen anxious to see the animals that have made their mile in less than 2£o. At three o dock the horses were brought upon the ground, and after being driven around the course a few times for the purpose of showing and warming them op, the signal was sounded for TUB START. First Seat.— American Girl won the toss. ' but in soorlng for a start got so far behind 1 that the Judges sounded the recall* At the j second attempt to get off, the American Girl cas? a shoe, and broke before reaching the score, and the horses were again recalled. About half an hour was occupied in putting on her shoe, and then a third and success ful start was made, with Goldsmith Maid slightly in the lead, which Bhe held In going around the lower turn. On the baok stretob the Girl collared the Maid and was about passing her, but unluckily broke and lost three lengths or more, which she was un able to recover; Goldsmith Maid crossing the acore about two lengths in advanoe. The seoond half mile was admirably trotted without a break on either side ana almost withoutebange of position, the Maid coming home a winner of the heat in 2.311. Second Heat.— After one unsuccessful at tempt to get off, in which both of the ladles lost their feet before reaching the score, the word “go” was given, the Maid having the best or It by about a neck. She increased the distance in going around the first turn; but on the back stretch the Girl closed In on her at such a rate of speed that both contest ants were carried from their feet. The Maid was the first to settle down to her work, and gained a length or two, increasing the dis tance as she came dashing down the home stretch and passed the Judges’ Stand several lengths ahead. The second half-mile was marked by good, square trotting, American Girl gradually closing the gap between her self and Goldsmith Maid, until, as they en tered the home-stretcb, the Maid having made a rather wide sweep around the [cor ner, the Girl endeavored to take the inside, but was unsuccessful, and lost two or throe lengths by the operation, the Maid passing the Judges’ Stand four lengths ahead. Time 2.2 CL Third Scat.— An oven start at the fifst at -1 tempt. Goldsmith Maid drew slightly ahead at the first turn, and kept the lead ail the way round, the Girl being in close aU tendance. The second half-mile was but a repetition of the first, both horses trotting their mile without making a single break or changing their positions, the Maid coming home a winner of the heat, and the race by two lengths. Time 2.302, STJMSIABY. Purse $2OOO. Lancaster County Agricultural Park Association, $l5OO to winner, and $5OO to second horse. , , • ~, Budd Doble entered bay mare Goldsmith Maid l 1 1 B.

Half Mile. iff 2 31V$ 36-X LH 'l'W< 3B 1.10 2 3ts The Managers did all that lay in their power to make this trot, what it was ex pected to bo, one of the finest ever witnessed in this country. They made considerable improvement in the track, remedying cer tain minor defects which had been discov ered to exist, and it is now admitted to be unsurpassed by any half mile track in the country. It was in admirable order Wednes day, but the weather was decidedly unfa vorable to fast time, and both horseslwero out of condition. The American Girl was more seriously so than her competitor, and the Goldsmith Maid was not pushed to hor full speed at any time, except during a por tion of the second heat. That accounts for the comparatively slow lime made. The audience expected at least to see tl.o time reduced below 2.25, and many expressed themselves much disappointed at the result. The betting was all in favor of Goldsmith Maid, and the American,Girl only brought to $25 in the pools. Among the outsiders two to one was freely offered on the Maid, and takers were not plenty at that. It seemed to be conceded all around that the favorite would have an easy victory, and the result proved that opinion to be correct. There was considerable complaint heard because thelprice.charged for admission to the Park was one dollar. Many people seemed to think it too high. Yet it was fully as low aa at any Park in the country, on similar occasions. The attendance rruin the rural districts of Lancaster county was limited. Perhaps the price had something to do with that, though it is very doubtful whether a reduction to fifty cents would have increased the attendance to any great extent. Our country folks will all be on hand at the Grand Agricultural Fair to bo held on the sth of October. That will af ford a greater variety ofentortalnment, and the contests between Lancaster county horses will excite more curiosity than did the trot between two of tho most celebrated animals on the American turf. The Managers of the Park Association deserve credit for affording the people of this county and of Central Pennsylvania an opportunity to witness a trial of speed be tween two Buoh celebrated horses. All that they oould do to make the affair perfectly satisfactory and successful was done. They could not be expected to know that the horses would arrive here out of condition, and unfit to make as fast time as had been made elsewhere. Whatever of dissatisfac tion there may have been with the result, we heard nothing said In disparagement oi the Managers. They have fitted up a Park which is most admirably adapted to all the purposes for which such an institution is intended, and that it is admirably managed all who were present will willingly testily. The best of order prevailed, the crowd wus made comfortable, and everything passed off pleasantly. The only trouble was that the trotting was not quite fust enough to satisfy the anticipations of the audience. Doble & Jackman, the owners of Gold smith Maid, purchased a young Lancaster mare Wednesday, behind which they were taking passage, to the that she could "step,” Doble took \be lines and let her out, and was so pleased with her that be paid the owner his price, and took her off with him, Undor his training we may soon expect to hear oi a rival of tho Flory colt. PicKrocKETS About.— A man, nanvd Grube, irora the county, had his pocket picked, on Wednesday, near the entrance to the Agricultural Park of $25. Several others are reported to have had their pockets picked. One man claimed to have lost SIIOC in this way, but upou ex amination his story was found to be incon sistent and false—it being an invention of his own. Held to Answer.— Kobert Burns and Joseph Torrance, who were arrested not long since on the charge of being concern ed in the assault on David Kendig in Philadelphia on the night of the Ist. ult., had a hearing, Tuesday, before Alderman Kerr of that city. It will be remembered that Mr. Kendig was formerly a hotel keeper in Lancaster. The Ledger says Mr. ICendig testified that just before he was attacked ho bad walked along tho block of stores he was watching, as pri vate watchman, aud had takeu a seat when seven or eight men came up, none of whom he could recognize except John Burns and Samuel Torrance, tho others, concealing their faces with theif'eaps and hats. John Burns struck him first, then four or five others hit him; he was knock ed down twice, and the last time he was unable to rise. Black jacks, be thought, were used, and his own stick, a heavy one, which was wrenched from his hand. Upon being cross examined by Major Pratt, the witness said be could not identify a man named Joseph Roberts as one of the party. All that he knew of Roberts was bad made threats against him. Being ask ed what was said, he replied that Roberts had come to him at Eighth and Market streets, and said he "would quit square with him if he had to stay up all night to doit.” In explanation of the character of his injuries, Mr. Kendig Btated that his jaw was broken, several of his teeth loosened, and his head beaten to a jelly. Joseph Roberts was discharged, and Burns and Torrance were held in $3OOO ball to an swer.” Fast Threshing.— Mr. Levi Gross, of Manhelm township, this county, recently threshed with one of Geiser’s large Separa tors driven by a portable Steam Engine oyer sixty one bushelß of wheat per hour; the wheat being threshed, cleaned, and put Into bags. The threshing was'done on the farm of Christian Esbenshade near New Holland. Mr; Gross states that he could as readily have threshed eighty bushels pet hour It tho straw could have been put away, Coal Schutes.—The Columbia Spy states that the coal schutes at the terminus of the Reading and Columbia Railroad, at that borough, so long idle on account of the strike m the coal region, are being put to use again. Quite a large lot of coal has been received within the past few days and de posited in the pookets, preparatory to being shipped In canal boats southward, Several boat loads have already left, and more will follow, though some difficulty Is experi enced in getting in and out at the schutes on account of the low water. New Counterfeit.— Experts have dis covered another counterfeit ten dollar green back, of the “ twenty-third series, letter C,” which in its distinctive features varies ma terially from any other specimens yet pre sented. The engraving is quite ooarse, and does not attempt to imitate the genuine plate at all olosely. The vignette «f Lin coln Is a vory Indifferent engraving, and the scroll work around the medallion poor ly Imitated. Potatoes.— The Oxford Press says that 11 farmers in digging potatoes daring this hot dry season should put them in bags or eover them from the rays of the sun as soon as they are taken from the ground. We have heard ef farmera in Londongrove and New Garden losing> quantity by rot after being exposed to the sun, while those dug at the same time andj bagged ore keeping nloely. Attempt to Jail.—A bold and partially adeceesfol attempt to escape from the Lancaster County Prison,tos made by some of the convicts, on Snndatr morning about ten minutes pastalx o'clock lost after > thd night watphm*n had gone off dnty, and opened the doors leading into the jail-yard. The under keeper, Lewis Murr, while sit ting In fanoied Beonrity on a table in the ' middle of the corridor, opposite the watch man's room,was approached stealthily from behind, by two mulatto convicts named James A. Hamilton and Henry Cole pan who at once throttled him, and swore they would cot his throaU with their shoe knives if he dared to raise an alarm. They at once lied him and took from bis pockets the keys that unlock the ceil doors. Hamilton then entered the watchman's room, broke open the closet, and secured three loaded revolvers, one of whioh he handed to Coleman. He then ran up stairs, and oommenoed opening the cell doors of the other prisoners, calling on them to strike for liberty." A little scream from Murr, however, when he was drat throttled, had been heard by the maid, who at once gave the alarm to Mr, Seasenig, the keeper, and the rest. Sensenlg and Julius Felker, the prison baker, arrived on tbo Bcone just as Hamilton haa opened the door or the cell in which John Cartis was confined, and to whom it Is supposed ho handed the other Eistol, as be wasneard to say “Jesus Christ, ero cornea Sensenlg—we must have more help.” at the same time firing a pistol shot at the keeper. Felker, regardless of the nistol, ran up stairs to secure Hamilton, who snapped the pistol at him also. The only weapon Felker had was a stick about five feet long with an iron prong and hook at one end of it, which was used for the ourpose of raising and lowering the win dows. This he broke over Hamilton’s bead, and wounded him rather severely by stabbing him in the thigh with the iron prong, receiving in return several severe raps over the head from Hamilton’s pistol. The baker bad the best of it in the scuffle, and finally secured his prisoner and got him into a cell. While this was going on up stairs, Cnrtla and Coleman were endeavoring to make their escape through the yard with Sen senlg In pursuit. He passed Curtis, and with dirk in band, seoared Coleman In the yard, and dragged him back into the cor ridor, where ho handed him over to Felk er aud some of the other attendants, and then went into the yard again to look after Curtis. But the bird bad flown. He bad secured from the watchman’s room tbo large key that opens the wagon-door on the Orange street aide of the Jail-yard wall, un locked it, and escaped through the adjoin ing corn fields. Felker and his comrades Beem to have had a hard time in inducing Coleman to return to his cell. They say be showed fight and they bad to club him before be would yield. His eye is a little cut and his bead braised, but not seriously. From statements made by the prisoners themselves, as well as from personal obser vation their modus operandi seems to have been as follows: The prisoners occu pied adjoining cells, could easily converse with each other and made their plans in concert. Hamilton says hehad but little trouble in partly breaking and picking the padlock that secured the inside cell aoor, with some of his shoemaker tools. He then awaited Coleman’s operations. Cole man says he was unable to pick or break the padlock securing the inside door of his cell; so he blowed it up with some saltpetre which he had procured from the prison physician on pretense of having a toothache, [Dr. Compton, physician to the prisoner asserts that he never gave the prisoner any saltpetre—and the lock could not have been exploded with it if he had. An examina tion of the lock gives evidence that it had been broken open with tools, and Cole man’s story was probably invented for tko purpose of allaying suspicion as to the in security of the lock.] Coleman says ho hud previously with his shoe knife cut a small silt in the edge of the outer door, just oppo site the latch, through which ho could push the blade of the knife and raise the latch, after doing which he quietly opened Ham ilton’s door, anil the two sneaked stealthily down stairs and secured tko under-keeper as above stated. Hamilton is a light brown mulatto, 28 years old—was born iu Cambridgo, Mass., and lived nearly all his life in Boston; reads and speaks well and writes a good hand. Ho sayti his mother was.a white woman and his father a yellow man. Ho was convicted before our Court a year ago last April for burglary and sentenced to 7 years impris onment. Coleman was sentenced by our court last April to £> years imprisonment for a burglary committed in Columbia. He is nearly white, and says that his mother is a white woman, and his father “not fur from being white.” He come from Wash ington. After he had been recaptur ed and secured in his cell he was asked what he had done with the revolver.— He said he had thrown it out of the window, but on searoh being made for it outside, the officers again came to his cell, and pointing a revolver at his head told him they would kill him If ho darod to move. HleooUwe* then examined, and the pistol found hid in the middle of his bed, loaded with six bul lets. John 'Curtis— -alias Charles Lawrence — tho prisoner who made his escape, was dressed in a black cloth suit, cap, new boots and white shirt—complexion florid, eyes gray, hair sandy, heigbth 6 feet 4jf luches, with front Anger off on right hand at flrßt Joint— large scar on left leg—ago 25. Mr. Sensenig offers a reward of $5O for his apprehension. URb-arrksted.— John Curtis who escap ed from tho Lancaster County Prison on Sunday morning, was re-captured yester day afternoon, about 4 o'clock by M. Q. Keller and Isaac Brinser, about 3 miles northwest of Elizabethtown on the Cone waga creek. It seems that after escaping from prison Curtis made his way afoot to tho neighborhood of Elizabethtown. On the roaa he Was overtaken by a man named Daniel Anderlein. and asked permission to ride with him In his wagon, to Elizabeth town, which was granted. Stopping at Greenawait's Hotel, he “treated” Anaer leln, who In turn treated him. After leav ing the Hotel, Curtis went to a barber shop to get shaved, while Anderlein stopped in the tailor shop of Oscar Benodict which is in the Bame building. Curtis came from the barber shop into the tailor shep, while Anderlein was still there, and stole a new coat and threw It out of the back window, and then asked permission to go to tho water closet, and told Anderlein to wait In the tailor shop until be returned. On get ting into the yard he took the stolen ooat, went round the back way to the Hotel, took Auderloln’s horse and wagon and drove off with it. Anderlein waited some fifteen minutes for him, and as be did not return, concluded to wait no longer but drive 1 off alone. On returning to the hotel, be found that his new friend had stolen his 1 horse and wagon. He got a oonstable and , went up tho Middletown pike in pursuit; but Curtis had turned off into a by-road and at several places tried to sell his horse. Not far from hero lives M. G. Keller, and Mr. Brinser had called to see him. Thev were told that a thief had stolen a black mare and wagon, and was not far ahead. Jumping into a buggy, the two made pur suit, and soon overtook Curtis. When he saw them coming he run bis horse, but finding they were gaining on him, he jumped from the wagon and cut across the holds. Keller jumped from bis buggy and pursued him, both wading the Conewaga croek. After crossing the creek Curtis made out to hide rocks of a knob, but was soon found. He gave up at once and came back to the stream. — He pulled off his boots to cross the creek, as he said, but as soon as he had them off, he sprung away again, pm sued by Keller and Brinser, who overtook him near the place wtere he was first taken. Hero be showed fight, but was soon mastered.— Some other parties then.'came up, and Curtis was tied and taken to Elizabeth town, where he was kept till 11 o’clock last night, and brought to this city at midnight and lodged in jail. Mr. Sensenig at once paid his captors tho $5O reward offered for his apprehension. On getting back to the jail Curtis inquired if he could have his old cell, saying he fol t quite at home there. We wanted to con verse with the keeper, but received litllp encouragement. The coat that he] had stolen from Bene dict’s tailor shop, in- Elizabethtown, was recoyered with tne horse and wagon, and identified. Curtis will now have an opportunity of becoming still better acquainted with his cell. The revolver which it was supposed he had taken with him was not found, though at the time of his capture he swore he would shoot the first man that laid handS on him. The County Roads.—Now is the time to repair our county roads. Let each and every supervisor go to work and see that repairs, where needed, are made. Every ditch should be cleaned out and new ones out where required. All holes should be inied up and the roads so graded and re tired that, when the Autumn rains come, the water will drain off and not stand in puddles in the middle of the highway to the great annoyance of all travelers. A Prolific Potato.— Samuel J. Hen derson, of Salisbury township, this county, has raised the present season from a single potato as many as one hundred and fifty seven potatoes weighing in the aggregate pounds. The potatoes are of the Sir Henry variety, Henderson is great at counting In elections, and some on rais ng potatoes. Who can beat him ? A Bio Potato.—A tremendous potato, of he “ Monitor M variety, which was raised by Jaoob G. Rush, hotel keeper, at Dru more Centre, Drumore twp., this county, has been shown us by Mr-lThos. Arnold, of this city, to whom It was presented by Mr. Rush. The potato weighs 11 lbs., and measures 15 Inches in circumference over its long, and 124 inches over its short diam eter. Collar Bone Broken.— The Oxford Press states that John A. Alexander, of Lillie Britain township, Lancaster county, met, not long since, with a severe accident in rather a singular manner. He was in the act of climbing over a pair of bars, and placing his foot upon the second rail from the ground it came out of thq post just as he raised up and be went over the fence headforemost, alighting on bis left shoul der and breaking nis collar bone. Pio-Nic at Fairfield.— The Fairfield Base Ball Club had a very pleasant pic-nio in the woods near Dunwoody’s Hotel, on Friday 27th ult. A large number of ladles were present, and although the day was warm, everybody resolved to seek enjoy ment in the shade In dancing and other sports. Miller’s Btrlng band furnished the music. AiroUA.li StJIfUAT SOHOOI* CELXBHATIOK. —ThelHatliodlst Episcopal Sunday School of Conestoga Centre, U.Strickler,Buperin tendenL held Its.annualosleMatlon on Sat urday last; The school, numbering 118 scholars, met at the church in the morning, and, after haying singing and prayer, formed in procession, and preceded by the Conestoga-Centre Band, started at 9 o’clock for Mehaffey’a Grove, the plaoe selected for the occasion, where a stand for .the speakers and seats to accommodate over 300 persons had been erected. After arriving at the Grove, the exerdseswereopened with sing ling the Lord's Prayer by the school, and prayer by 8. G. Behmer, of- MiUersville. Able and Interesting addresses were then made by the Rev. J. E. Kessler, pastor of the church, and S. G. Behmer* The speak log was interspersed with, as well as pre ceded and followed by,muaio by the band and singing by the school. The singing was pronoanoea excellent by all present, and was one of the most pleaslng'and entertain ing features of the exeroises. Although the forenoon's exercises oontinned two Honrs without intermission, all present paid the closost attention from beginning to end, thereby showing that they were very much Interested by the exercises. At llo’dook SO min. the forenoon’s exercises were brought to a close. All—officers, teachers, scholars and parents—then spread their cloths on the green sward under the trees, and placed thereon an excellent repast, which had been prepared for the occasion. At 12 o'clock, all surrounding their tables, the Doxology, “ Praise God from Whom all blessings flow," was sung, after which all present disposed of the dinner, In a manner that proved that they appreciated very highly the culinary Bkill of the ladles eon* nectea with the school. Ample provision had been made to satisfy all that would be present, and none went away hungry, as all were invited to partake of the ropast, and none refused the tempting offer. At 2 o’clock the afternoon's exercises oom menced, consisting of singing by the school, music by the baud, and very able and highly Interesting addresses by Col. Wm. L. Bear, Secretary of County Sunday School Convention, the Rev. Henry Boehm, who is nearly 95 years old, and the Rev. Mr. Sbenkle, pastor of the Gorman Reformed Church of Conestoga Centre. The subjoct of "Father" Boehm's Address was "Early Impressions." He stated that an impression was mado upon his mind over 85 years sgo, tbAt has not been erased, and that he felt, satlstled would not bo erased ns long as his mind oonllnued to ex ist. When but a little over 9 years of age, he heird an aged minister moke some very forcible remarks, that made such au im pression upon his mind as to cause his con version. The remarks were so Indelibly fixed upon his memory as to be as fresh in bis mind to-day as they were on the day they were made. Hence the necessity of making good impressions upon the tender minds of children. He spoke at some length on the importance of Sunday Schools as a means to make such impressions. Dur ing the whole of the afternoon’s exeroises, the large Dumber of persons present, esti mated at about GOO, paid the closest atten tion. Dr. B. F. W. Urban in behalf of an unknown giver, presented in a few appro priate remarks a large cake to the band, for which the band returned a vote of thanks. The exercises were closed by the Rev. Mr. Shenkle pronouncing the Benediction. The day passed off very pleasantly and har moniously, all seem to have enjoyed them selves, and we hope, and have cause to be lieve that some good has been done, that some of the prejudice which still existed againßt Sunday Schools has been removed and thereby the glorious cause strengthened in this section. New Patent. —William L. Carter, of Marietta, Pa., has just received lettors pal tent, dated August 24th, 1869, for appara tus for Wishing ores. This is well calcula ted to crush, rake and agitate ores on a cir cular dished bed, with a constant stream of water passing over the oro, so as to reduce the ore and thoroughly cleanse it, in the most effectual manner, and cannot fail to render full satisfaction. Obtained through the agency of J. Staufler, of this city. Accident. —A boy about 11 years of ago, son of Mr. John Frulich, of Conestoga Cen tre. while playiDg in the yard at his father’s residence last week, fell on some steps leading on a porch, and broke bis right arm below the elbow.

HERR. ADVANTAGES OF LIFE INSUBANOB. In DO. cember last, Mr. I. F. Beamor called on Mr. Jam©* Coleman, residing below Altoona, and explaining to him the advantage and Import ance of Life Insurance, obtained lilb applica tion for $6OOO, In the World Mutual Life Insur ance Company, of New York, He was then amongst our strongest and heartiest men,with every prospeot of a long life of usefulness before him. He was 65 yoars of age, and paid an an nual premium of $237.75. Last April, whilst on the roof of his barn malting some repairs, he fell from the same and broke his leg up at the thigh, an accident which might happen to our most careful and healthy citizens. He linger ed on In pain and misery until his death, In July last. Mr. Beamer attended :at once to maklngoutjall the necessary papers of proof o f death, and last week had the satisfaction of handing to Messrs. James Louden and Thomas Coleman, his administrators, a draft on New York for the amount of Insurance. Buoh a striking Illustration of the Importance and value of Life Insurance will do moro than hours of talk any man that it Is his duty to take out a policy according to his means, for the benefit of his survivors; and in connection, we call especial attention to the World Mutual Life, and to our fellow-towns man, Mr. I. F, Beamer, who Is Its agent for this county. Do not delay—at once Insure, and you will never regret It.' We extract ihe above from the Democratic Standard, of Holidaysburg, and would add cur endorsement of the above counsel: "DO NOT DELAY—AT ONCE INSURE I" and state that- Maj. J. F.FRUEAUFF, of this city, Is the Gen. eral Agent for the WORLD MUTUAL LIEE, and will be glad to see all of our patrons at his Ofllce, to make Inquiries, and to Insure. By the Insurance Commissioners’ Report, of Now York, for this year, the proportions of Assets to the amount Insured, and of Aotual Realized Cash Assets to Total Assota of this Company, are better and higher than any Company of Its age, and also surpasses many much {older companies, It Is safely and carefully man aged and merits confidence and support, gept. 7. —T Tfid.4 3tw. LANCASTER, PENN’A.,I August 21, 180 G. f JAMES BLACK, E3Q., Agent Mutual Like Insurance Company o» Niw York. Dear Sir: It affords me rnuok pleasure to acknowledge the receipt through you of the sum of 84,000, the amount of Policy, No. « 1,400, held by the late Rev. W. V. GOTWALD lu the Mutual Life Insurance Co. of New York. Allow mealso to add that the circumstances connected with this case have, to my mind at least, furnished a striking Illustration of the value of Life Insurance as a moans of provid ing the comforts of life to those near and dear dependent ones, who are left utterly helpless unless a provision of tills kind Is made for them. It also affords a solemn lesaoD on the uncertainty of the duration of life. Rev. Mr. Gotwald had bla life Insured In July, 1868, at a time when ho was 32 years old, In good health, and bid fair to enjoy a long life; but he died in June, 18G9, in less than a year from the dale of his policy, leaving an aged mother dependent on others for support. The amount you paid me ($-1,000) will be paid over to her at once, and will secure a competency for her declining years. The Investment Rev, Gotwald thus made has proved a very profitable one. His policy was made on the Ten Year Life Plan Premium, payable quarterly. He had made four pay ments of 151.96 eaoh, amounting In all to 1207.84. In return for this expenditure the mother re ceived $4,000. RespeotfulJy Yours, \ G. M. ZAHM, Administrator of Rev. W. V. Gotwald. au 31 4teods3tw A Farm for Five Dollars.— John L.
