An Upset. On the evening of tlie 19th
inst., a spring wagon containing Philip
Barkley and wife, and Miss Sallie Jacobs,
was upset in Juniata township from the
horse taking fright, caused by the breaking
of a part of tlie harness. Miss Jacobs had
jumped out, and the wiigon upset on her,
bruising her somewhat, but the others es
caped without injury.
X
Chicken Thieves. From all parts of the
county come complaints of the depreda
tions of these gentry.
Only a few nights since one of the staid
citizens of Green Park was aroused three
times, by cries of distress from his hen
house. Tlie most singular part of the sto
ry is that no one was hurt, though the gen
tleman was armed with three "shooting
irons."
JSCut With an Axe. Mr. Henry Troutman,
residing in the vicinity of Montgomery's
Ferry was badly cut on the 13th inst., while
chopping. His axe caught on a little twig,
making him bring the edge down on the
ankle with full force, cutting the foot near
ly off. Surgical attendance was required to
dress the wound, and he is now getting
along as well as could be expected, consid
ering the large amount of blood lost by the
severing of the arteries.
yAccident. On the 16th inst., a son of
Alt'. John KelL, residing iu ltye township,
fell from the plate to the threshing floor in
his father's barn, breaking his collar bone
raid otherwise injuring himself. He was
attended by Dr. Everhart, of Marysvillo.
who hapjtened to be passing, and he is get
ting along pretty welL His father whose
injuries w& related last week, by the fright
ening of his horses, is in a fair way to re
cover. .
Don't' Borrow. Would it not be better
for persons who are able, so to do, to sub
scribe for a paper rather than to annoy
their more liberal neighbors by borrowing.
Some of our subscribers complain that they
hardly get a chance to read their paper be
fore they have a call to loan it We are
glad to know that our paper is so well ap
preciated, but in the name of several of
our friends we would suggest to those in
the habit of borrowing that they invest a
dollar for The Tim us, and we will insure it
the best investment they ever made.
X More Robberies. On the evening of the
15th inst., Mr. Frank Wagoner was stop
pad by some man, a short distance from
Landisburg, who demanded his money.
Wagoner declined to accede to this request,
when the fellow hit him a severe blow on
the head. This compliment Mr. Wagoner
returned by kicking the rascal in the stom
ach so that he put his hand on that locality
and started away, leaving Mr. Wagoner to
continue his journey homewards. Who the
person was, making this attempt at robbery
is not known.
Our Rail Road. Last fall the commis
sioners of the Duncannon, Bloomfield and
Broad Top Rail Road called for money to
pay for a survey of the road from Duncan
non to Bloomfield with an estimate as to its
cost. The amount required was promptly
furnished, the people supjmsing of course,
that if the roport showed that the road
could be built reasonably cheap, at least an
attempt would be made to raise the funds
for the work.
When the report of the engineer was
made, the low estimate surprised every one,
and it was expected that immediate steps
would be taken to get the friends of the en
terprise to subscribe the necessary amount
of stock. The failure of the commis
sioners, ho wo vol, to take any such steps,
has given rise to the belief that those con
trolling the affair are in reality opposed to
the success of the work, and in order to
convince people that the belief is not well
founded, some favorable action on the part
of the commissioners is necessary.
Chasing a Thief. An exciting chase af
ter a horse thief camo off in Spring and
Tyrone townships, last week, Monday. A
number of jxirsotis were engaged in the
pursuit, and at times it was decidedly exci
ting. The route taken by the thief was across
fields, through woods, over fences, &c,
which his horse would jump without diffi
culty. Night came on and in the darkness
the fellow managed to give thorn the slip.
At one time the thief was so closely cor
nered it seemed that his capture was cer
tain, but as he approached the gate through
which he wished to pass, he called out to
the man standing there "to open it quick
as he was in pursuit of a horse thief."
This tlio man did, and the rider and horse
quickly passed through, being shortly join
ed by the man at the gate on a mule.
The next day, two men met the fellow
wandering in the road, near Bridgeport,
and arrested him. Ho was on foot, the an
imal being worn out and loft iu the woods.
She was afterwards recovered, and was held
by Jacob Kituer, for the owner to claim,
prove property, and take away. The thief
who gives his name as Taylor Morrison, is
now in jail, in this borough.
Since the above was iu type, the mare
proves to be the property of a Mr. Small,
residing at Martihsburg, Va., and a sou of
his, accompanied by an ollicer from Car
lisle, have arrived here, to remove the pris
oner to Cumberland county, where a requi
sition from tlie Governor of West Virginia
awaits him.
There is no doubt that the prisoner is
one of an organized gang of horse-thieves,
as in last week's Times we gave an account
of a horse and buggy stolen from Carlise,
and on Thursday last, a valuable black
Stallion was stolen from Moses Kirkpatrick,
of Peuu township, this county. A reward
of $50 is offered for the recovery of the
Stallion, and arrest of the thief.
if Newport Items. The new road leading
from Newport and connecting with the
Millerstown road, at the loot of the Buffalo
Mountain, was opened on the 15th inst.
This will be an elegant drive in the sum
mer, the road lying as it does, the whole
distance between Newport and Millerstown
on the right bank of the Juniata Uiver, and
being comparitively level the whole length
of the road. An attempt is being made to
stock the Juniata River with Bass. Quite
a number have been introduced to its wa
ters already this winter.
A new military company in this place is
rapidly filling up.
An extensive revival of religion has been
in progress for the last two weeks, in the
Evangelical Church.
A new aqueduct is being built by the
Canal Co., across the little Buffalo Creek at
this place.
A raid was made on Benjamin Barrett's
meat stand, on Thursday night, by some
thieves, and all his meat was stolen.
Sad Occurrence. On Friday last about 2
o'clock P. M., a sad and painful occurrence
took place in the family of Prof. G. W.
Ruby, of the York County Academy in this
borough. Mrs. Ruby had left her two
interesting little twin children up stairs, for
a few moments, while she attended to some
household duty below ; when one of them
approached a ten plate stove, in the room,
and its clothing accidently took fire. No
other person was in the room, at the time,
and before Mrs. Ruby could return to the
children the little sufferer was so badly
burned that it died about four o'clock the
same day. It was an interesting little boy
about three years of age, and of the twins,
was the only one that could walk. This is
a most sad and painful occurrence and has
brought sorrow and gloom upon a kind,
christian and intelligent household. York

Maukelville, J mi. 17, 1870.
Mr. Editor: Two "would be" gentle
men accompanied by ladies, visited this
place in buggies, yesterday, from Newport,
and behaved themselves in a very bad man
ner. This is not the first occasion we have
had to complain, and should we have an
other visit from them, and such behaviour,
we promise them that the law shall take
its course. A word to the wise is sufficient
and we trust that they will in the future, if
they visit our locality, behave themselves.
Youns, Hux.
